Great comparison side by side. It really shows the differences in build quality. I own several different M&P's and edc a Shield. In the past several months I have purchased a Canik TP9 Elite SC, because it was only 385.00 and I wanted to see what the whole Canik thing was about. Naturally that led to me having to buy a Rival Darkside (not the S). It's an amazing piece. Now I have the new Mete MC9 and it's looking like it will be retiring my Shields. Canik is at the top of it's game and starting to leave everyone behind. Awesome products and an awesome value.

No one ever mentions it but even the magazine insertion click on the Canik impresses me. My Glock has a Timney trigger, my CZ P10F has a Overwatch trigger, my Rival has a stock trigger & you are right, it's still better than the aftermarket triggers.

I was set on getting the Smith & Wesson but have seen others having numerous problems. Your break down of the rails milled into the frame and the metal frame of the grip on the Canik is tremendous.

ONLY advantage I can see with the S&W is, if the rails ever wear too much, you can just replace the blocks. Not so on the Canik : ) Hell, maybe S&W needs to come up with some blocks with fatter rails to mitigate the excessive tolerances! PROBLEM = SOLVED! Make them oversize, and we can HAND-FIT them!

As an American, l have to say Americans no longer care about about the quality of the products we produce anymore. You see this in the automotive industry as well. It hurts me to say this but it's the truth. We as a labor force and country are no longer a great world leader as we once were in anything. Very interesting and informative review and l am grateful for your efforts. I thank you. I still have hope for our future

Well, it's like all of the REAL Craftsmen are dying off. Ask me about the muzzle brake on my new Mini-14 that blew off because they had apparently taken brakes that were DRILLED for a .30 cal. and tried to TAP them for the 5.56. I explained this when I called customer service, but they probably thought I didn't know what I was talking about, and wanted me to sent the RIFLE back. NOPE. I didn't want them TOUCHING it again, not to mention the risk of shipping both ways... it was a JEWEL, otherwise! (It'll do sub-MOA 3-shot groups with its favorite ammo, Hornady Superformance Match 5.56 75 gr. BTHP : ) So they sent me another brake. Inspected it when it came in, and it was the SAME: I.D. of the "threads" (actually just a fine helical SCRATCH) was only .005" less than major thread diameter. They had a BAD BATCH, which was what I tried to tell them the FIRST time : )

A big component of the slide play on mine was the fitments on the trigger and striker groups as they are pinned into the metal frame. On poly frames that fitment is usually snug, but not on the alloy frames. Such shimming should be done at the factory for such a marketed gun. Once I shimmed those with tabs of metal tape, it was much tighter. It's an easy fix, on par with upgrading a trigger. After 350 rounds things seemed to loosen on those fitments. Front grip piece is an easy fix, a drop of CA glue, done. The trigger transfer bar where it hits the safety "button" always need some burnishing on SW it seems. Those should get a few seconds on a burnishing wheel in production, for every model. Then take up is smooth, night and day difference Otherwise mine has been 100% reliable, with a dozen different brands/weights of ammo. SW grips really work for me, personal pref. But I did have to do some fitments there as well. Now that pin is easy and works. Before fitment, I too worried it would snap. These things S&W should have done. I have enjoyed shooting the gun. Overall I've been more accurate hand holding it than most. The Caniks trigger is great one. It was almost enough! Trigger upgrade was factored in (incld those 4 mags). I wasn't ready to buy Commblock (despite NATO alliances). I wanted to buy American. Again a personal pref that some may not bias as heavily as I do. A gun is a personal thing, on many levels. Right down to the country of manufacturing and the people making them. If Canik (how is that pronounced in turkish?) puts a factory in America, I will be standing in line for one. Till then I stick with a home team. Yours was an honest review. I hope Smith & Wesson watches it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I would really like to know about the shimming you did. If I could fix that slop to get the gun to shoot more consistent I would consider the putting a trigger in it and keeping it. It looks like the loss I am going to take otherwise will be substantial. I also like the texture of the grips a lot. I just do not like how they went about attaching them to the gun. I love the way the gun looks and the slide lightning cuts. I wanted to love the gun but I agree with you these issues should be addressed at the factory. Too many times now days we pay money for a gun that we have to modify to make it how it should be.

You may have fixed the issues in such a way Glen Har but you shouln't have to dick around like that on that level of a gun and from S&W, a company with thier lengthy history of gun making should meen that they should deliver much higher qaulity especially considering this is supposed to be a gun at a "higher than normal" level within thier product line and price point.

Yep... I have respect for the Caniks, but I've been carrying a S&W for nearly forty years, so I'll be tweaking my trigger, etc. (YEP, the trigger bar has rough shear-marks vs. the striker block AND I'm going to round over/polish the striker block itself on my SKU 13567. Can't do much about the frame rail slop, though : )

We cannot get a canik here in NY yet. Only 18 round guns available. I have the smith and Wesson and am working on that front grip myself. Do you think they went with those plastic grip and cut all the metal out to save weight? What’s the weight difference between the two guns?

Had tons of issues with my Rival-S and FTFs. Found a couple of other people who have the same issue. One person said they're getting the feed ramp / barrel re-machined. In my case, shooting norma 124gr, had a bunch of FTFs where the bullet would eat the front of the feed ramp and get jammed. Was hoping the S&W competitor would be better but obviously based on your review, it has some pretty major problems of it's own.

I don't think the s&w is a piece of crap. Canik has come a long way, and they just got better at the only thing they do which is 9mm. Canik competes in a global market, Smith & Wesson competes with other American brands and I think that makes them and a lot of American brands complacent. We just don't build products as well as we used to. An aftermarket company will get their hands on that gun and make it great, but it will also cost twice as much... What can we do

Also, disassemble your M&P mags before use... there are TWO potential misassembly problems: I've heard of some in which the spring was not engaged with the follower, resulting in difficulty inserting the final round. And I had one where the follower was attached BACKWARDS onto the spring, so the spring angles were reversed. Noticed it during initial inspection, so I'm not sure if it would have functioned properly, BUT, that's NOT how it's supposed to be!

And yet the S&W isn't for sale at a reduced price anywhere and there are a bunch of them. The Canik is cheaper but you can't find the freaking thing anywhere. What is the point of a better gun if you cant even buy it. If they dropped the price a little on the S&W, I'd actually be fine with it.

Agree that the build quality seems lower on the M&P vs the Canik, but to fault the plastic grip panels as a poor engineering choice vs and entire metal frame is kind of silly. Every other polymer framed gun has plastic for its entire mag tube and they don’t have any problems. The Canik is more of a copy if a CZ or Walther frame. Canik hit a home run and S&W hit a triple.

Man I wish I would have seen this a week ago. Bought a plastic frame Canik rival about 3 weeks ago and a s&w competitor last week. More that disappointed in the s&w. I have another full sized m&p with a apex trigger I love. The competitor was a major let down. Probably not even going to shoot it. Just sell it. Literally everything in this video is how I felt about mine the first time I handled it. However the Canik, even being plastic, is overall fantastic. Also same, I will probably pick up a shadow 2 after the s&w is sold.
