Canik Parts

I don't get it? What is the matter with the parts? $2.99 for a spring? Is that horrible? Besides all new owners get a Limited Lifetime Warranty just like S&W's do. Mine after 5 years and thousands of rounds runs like a top. If you have to be cool and tactical with the "IN" crowd then maybe a Glock is the way to go.

Seems we're on different pages here. I'm a happy Canik owner myself. It's the Glock Fanboy who inferred parts were easier to get for Glocks. I was just linking to a site that showed him otherwise. That, plus nowhere in the topic/OP did he ask for Glock advice, but as we all know the diehards can't help themselves.

Had a Canik TP9DA 9mm and loved it !! I did sell it because after carrying it (AIWB) for a short time, it was just too big and printed badly (for my body style). I really hated to sell it !!, but I don’t keep what I don’t use. I purchased it because it had a decocker. It came with 2-18 round mags and a holster plus other items (view Youetube Videos).
gonerydin posted a video that does a great job of explaining how the decocker works. You can also Google Canik TP9DA and get good YouTube videos and the Canik website.

Be SAFE and Shoot Often!

I have a range buddy that had one. He re-springed it at 20k rounds and again at 40K and then it started spitting brass to his face. Multiple attempts to fix and he traded it for a Sarsilmaz. He had to try another Turkish pistol. He his using the Sarsilmaz with no issue.

^^^^I would think that is actually a great testimonial.

Most people do not shoot that volume; additionally, the price point is ~$400.00.

A fellow I was friendly with had a TP9 of some variety when there were very new to the scene. I was curious as the price was very appealing.

Anyhow, he shot at my local steel match regularly and the pistol performed well, near the end of the season he started to have problems. A part would break or something. Canik was very eager to fix it and they did, but then something else would break. Again, the factory was eager to send him required parts etc. The end result was he was very soured on the gun. Last I saw him he was using a Glock.

I ended-up not changing what I was carrying so I stopped thinking about them. I expect he had a lemon.

I have a Tristar C100, which is a Canik-made copy CZ75 Compact.

It was sprung a bit heavy, but after a CGS spring set it has a trigger comparable to my SRT SIG P229 if not better.

Canik makes a whole lot of gun for the money. I've become a Hi Power fanatic or else mine would get a lot more holster time.

Have one. No problems. Very accurate. Accessories that come with pistol are useful but holster not so much.

I have a TP9v2, and it's been flawless from day one. I'm not a huge striker/polymer gun fan, so it's going to go away one of these days. I do love the TriStar Canik made CZ clones, and I have a couple of those, and they are great too..
