Canik TP9 DA Tabletop and Field Strip

[@dexm2010]

One of the few channels that properly explains the three trigger modes. Thank you

[@spikedbattthepodcast5768]

I was thinking the same thing.. Very straight forward

[@GBGuns]

Thank you both.

[@MrFluidRock]

Are there even a few channels? I don't know of another channel that explains the 3 modes. The others only explain double action or single, and don't address the slide movement to get back to single. As a new joiner to the sport who was debating between tp9sa and tp9da, this video sold me on the da. I want to the ability to train with the light trigger of a single and heavy trigger of a double.

[@goodcitizen3780]

Yes indeed! The DA is a dream and the trigger is one of the best parts. It's a real shame that people didn't understand that gun. Or, on second thought, maybe it's a good thing. They are still easy enough to find even with all this covid/Floyd panic buying. Now, if I can find some more ammo...

[@OGSontar]

As the owner of several Canik handguns, I can honestly say that it seem both the designers and the craftpeople over in Turkey working on these weapons didn't ask how much crap can we stick on our guns, but rather asked, "What would I want on the gun I carry to defend myself?" and it shows.

[@mathewsieker7092]

I bought one canik tp9da and I've been loving it so far last year on Father's day

[@MatteoSixSeventyFour]

Like you I've had and carried the Walther P99 for many years. Love 'em. In fact the TP9 DA is a gun I'll be picking up soon. BTW I pretty sure you can hit the decocker to facilitate disassembly without pulling the trigger. Good video. Great gun. Not too crazy about the color though. LoL

[@stupidthoughts2921]

Wow awesome job on trigger functions, ur the 1st guy in review to mention after u decock that u can reset fire pin by 1/4 inch movement of the slide, I own the series 1 in fde since they came out, it has the decock button that goes across the whole top of slide, it works the same, can't say how many rounds if shot thru it but has been absolutely flawless, canik did away with the decock feature so I haven't bought anymore, but now decock is back my next investment is going to be 3 of these tp9 da in bronze for each of my vehicles, thanks for great explanation on ur video.

[@GBGuns]

I'm a Walther P99 fan and this model is essentially a clone of a P99

[@Jonesy_Ripley]

Now I kinda wish my G2C & G3 had a decocker too. Or maybe for the safety to function as a decocker as well... That'd be cool. Oh well, I'll just try to find one of these. Thanks for the info!✌🤓

[@aaronburela432]

Damn I need a canik now.. thanks GB!

Awesome! Another Canik. I could’ve sworn I saw that gun listed as “Patriot Brown” and not Bronze. Thanks for the video.

[@Q.Lawrence]

I hope they make this in the Elite size. I would get one for sure.

[@scotteger6271]

I was actually thinking the same thing...in the smaller, more easily concealed size, it would be nice to have the DA capability

[@xxiv8841]

They have one now.

[@JayzBeerz]

I hope to buy this soon. I love the burnt bronze color. It's gorgeous.

[@MrSpitfire76]

Great trigger info...just bought one and am waiting for my delay to come back...so thank you for such a good review

[@v.german11b]

Excellent review! The Canik TP9 DA model is poorly misunderstood by many people out there, mainly by gun owners that all they want to do is just "pull the trigger" 😁 (I am being sarcastic a bit) and don't want to learn to deal with a decocking system. The TP9 DA is actually a modern flawless design. It can be staged in 3 firing modes, depending on the individual training and dexterity of the shooter: - One mode is in double action first shot by decocking the pistol after racking a round in the chamber, with subsequent shots in single action (ideal stress mode for police agencies and novices). -The second mode is, racking the slide to load a round in the chamber and not decocking the pistol, making the first shot a long "take up" trigger without resistance until it clicks in the single action, and you can then fire it (IF SO is warranted!). -The third mode is for the professionals (Anti-stress), which it's racking a round in the chamber and carefully using the safe action blade system in the trigger to stage it in single action only. This staging mode is NOT recommended for novices and amateurs. It takes an advanced level of pistol craftsmanship to utilize mode #3. Indeed, Canik makes amazing handguns! The TP9 DA is a pistol with 3 firing modes. So: "you do you." That is: whatever you prefer and you are comfortable with.

[@GBGuns]

Yup, it's a copy of the Walther P99AS

[@v.german11b]

@@GBGuns correct. Canik developed their pistols after the Walther P99 model.

[@marklawrence343]

Got mine today, I am hella excited to get to the range this Saturday. I got the all black one though.

[@southfork67]

I have the Elite and the SFX. Incredible pistols for the money. I was interested in the DA as I typically carry DA/SA hammer fired pistols and train with them. Finally found a TP9DA in the wild yesterday (before seeing your video) and was able to evaluate the trigger system. The thing that put me off, that I wasn’t expecting, was the safe trigger feature in SA. The only time the trigger stays all the way back in SA is if you hold it back on the reset. Otherwise it swings all the way forward requiring a long two stage takeup with resistance up front. I just can’t get comfortable with that. It’s not a bad feature but different enough from a traditional DA/SA system, I don’t think I’d ever feel comfortable with it in rotation. The DA pull was just ok. Pretty gritty with considerable stacking, but not excessively heavy. The other negative was the lack of serrations on the top of the slide, and up front. Decided this pistol wasn’t for me, and I really thought it would be. Great review and detailed explanation. Thank you.

[@quitmon]

I have this gun and it's a great gun and easy for budget conscious gun owners to purchase.

[@johninphx9360]

I wish they would make guns in OD green....I think the original did! I'm torn between the Ruger security 9 and this TP9 DA for my first polymer gun. (I'm a Beretta guy.) Thanks for another great review!

[@scotteger6271]

They make a version of the Elite with an OD slide

[@goodcitizen3780]

I really hope you went with the DA.

[@chuckfaubel187]

I found to breaking down the pistol, it was easier to just press the de cocker without pulling the trigger was and is a safer way to break down the pistol. That’s just my opinion. Do what ever floats your boat.

[@RadsnRems]

I’m surprised they don’t do it like that. Safer option

[@bgc51765]

This has interested me but I will stick with my v2. I think Canik now is cutting costs by deleting some machining processes, and the left side decocker. The company has tickled our fancy with the SA,v2,SF, SFX, Elite and E-I-E-I-O and the prices are creeping north now. It's still a great gun for the price tho. Nice tabletop review

[@noomtp.5588]

I hope they make this in the Elite's size and tungsten color , that's very cool

[@robertobenigni1029]

Great Canik. Have a nice week end👍👍

[@GBGuns]

+Roberto Benigni thank you too!

[@jmartin9059]

*MEC-GAR +2 magazine extension will increase capacity to 20+1* Usually available for less than $20 each. I prefer the Canik to Walther P-99....because Walther magazines are very expensive.

[@beerman9807]

I bought four 32 round mags for my Canik

[@phantaztik1223]

Magnum Research MR9 is also very similar, but I don't like the gaudy stainless slide on a carry weapon.

[@dtollhouse1]

With the decocker, you don't have to pull the trigger to release the slide when stripping

[@GBGuns]

correct

[@treyvorricketts368]

I just picked up my first DA, I’ve owned the SFx, are the slides interchangeable, only reason of my question is because I wanna add a longer slide with a cut for optics if anyone knows I greatly appreciate it!

[@Mechinwyo]

I have a tp9sa. With out the 3 safety action. What does the slide button do on mine? To me out feels like it would fire but I haven't tested it with a clip. Does that release the hammer without firing.

[@luket557]

How well does the Bronze Cerakote hold up? Thanks

[@Jelsick]

Nice. Still waiting for that sub-compact Canik though.

[@scotteger6271]

Or even a single stack...considering it's a copy of a Walther P99 why not copy the PPS

[@goodcitizen3780]

The SC is out

[@MrSmith-zy2bp]

How analogous is the Canik TP9DA to the Walther P99as? As you've heard, the Walther P99as is getting a final addition. Now's the time to collect one, or two😃, before they're gone 😔. However, don't want to shoot them that much now that they'll be collectable. Would this Canik make a good substitute for shooting?

[@GBGuns]

Yes, this pistol is effectively a clone of the P99 design and has all of the same general features. Ergonomics and some small details are of course different, but if you want the advantages of the P99 AS system, and to know where the now-famous excellent Canik trigger comes from, this is the model to have.

[@gebarr474]

Hi, i have a question, with the firing pin armed, ammo in the chamber (single action) , it's so safe like a glock system, i think buy one (TP9DA), that why yours opinions it matter to me, thanks and greetings from Uruguay!!!!

[@goodcitizen3780]

It is as safe as any striker handgun, yes. Very well made.

[@retthok]

Aside from the bladed trigger isn't this model the same as the V2?

[@96stealth]

retthok Different sights and the new color.

[@96stealth]

retthok oh and the decocker is not ambidextrous

[@goodcitizen3780]

And the slide was machined down, according to Canik, in order to better draw the eye to the sights.

[@zombiekiller5713]

I own 2 tp9sf and love them. I read up on the DA and so many people kept saying it’s a bad design and to go with the sf. I guess I don’t see the point of a decocker.

[@GBGuns]

+Zombie Killer it's a preference

[@scotteger6271]

I wouldn't say it's an issue of the decocker but more about double strike capability...that's where the DA shines over a traditional SA striker fired setup. This is like the Taurus G2C, but with a decocker

[@goodcitizen3780]

@@scotteger6271 lol I hear about in stock. Everything decent or good is bought up just now. I didn't like that g2c trigger either but that g3c is very nice. I personally think it is punching way above it's weight. You can pick them up for between 280 and 380 on the net still if you look real hard and personally I think it shoots like a 500 dollar gun. It eats every ammo thrown at it. Just like the DA except, unlike he DA it will cycle the rat/snake shot loads.

[@georgeedwards8917]

Trigger system is awesome

[@IBTJn]

I have one just like it...love it! It's actually just like the TP9V2 which I also have and love. I think the trigger is a tad better in the DA than my V2 but both are very good. I love the burnt bronze too...the video doesn't do it justice to my eyes compared to real life (especially outside). But to each their own. I'd mention too folks seem to always have ejection problems with Canik pistols but neglect to understand these require NATO spec'd rounds. So the cheap factory 115gr plinking loads might or might not be sufficient. I reload my own 9mm ammo so it's never once had an ejection problem. Cheap 115gr (or even 124gr) factory ammo might have a wimply ejection and once in awhile had a failure to eject. But with decent to good quality defensive rounds (or good reloads) never a problem at least on my pistols. All of my Caniks are the same in that respect which I have no problem with. A friend who is an avid Glock guy is coming around too...he seriously wants one just like this now after shooting mine. :-) Thanks for the video.

[@Jelsick]

IBTJn Never had a problem with my Elite. I use Federal and Winchester 9mm from Wal-Mart. Shoots fine.

[@IBTJn]

Cool. My (OD Green version) Elite has done fine too, but in all fairness I haven't put much factory ammo through it. It's seen a steady diet of +P JHP's though and continues to rock. LOL The other Canik's I own have done fine also with some factory ammo...Fed & Win are decent and usually have sufficient powder charge. But that is not the case with all. Seems to me those that were complaining about failure to ejects were running lower quality factory loads though. I thought I would mention it because those who have problems really should try a different ammo and/or have someone "in the know" watch them shoot to make sure they aren't limp wristing. Even Glocks will have failure to ejects if that is happening. Cheers.

[@Jelsick]

IBTJn I did run some Remington and aluminum case through it with no problems. I haven't shot anything else, not even hollow points.

Wonderful pistol. Shoots great right out of the box. The holster, on the other hand, is useless. Note in the video that the release button is on the same side as the attachment point for the paddle. This means to get the gun out of the holster requires two hands, one on the gun to pull it from the holster and the other hand to reach between the holster and the paddle to depress the release. Great gun. Holster is crap.
