Canik TP9DA - Where are the cons?

[@TTiger86268]

have the exact same pistol and love it, over 1000 rounds and no problems.

[@TheFXofRobbRee]

Just bought one today, brand new, out the door for $360. This gun is phenomenal for the price range, and the trigger is far beyond this price point. Trigger is amazing! Love being able to keep a striker fired weapon with one in the chamber without keeping striker spring under constant tension and wearing it out quicker.

[@stefaniaikens7453]

Same here today!! But mine was $450

[@VIPERGUNNERCHANNEL]

@@stefaniaikens7453 395.00 for mine Unbelievably nice everyday carry

[@VIPERGUNNERCHANNEL]

First thing I did was apply a thin coat of gun oil on the slide and barrel. Never run any gun right out the box. Coming from a long line of shooters Great gun for paying 395.00 for mine. They call it the "Glock killer"

[@TwitterSucks-mu5ni]

I got mine for $320

[@marynapier3962]

I like every thing about the canik , they are top notch guns and they have to be getting the attention of the other gun makers

[@PaisteLover]

I've had my TP9DA for a year now, and have run thousands of rounds of every type imaginable through it with zero problems. Awesome trigger. I was going to replace the stock sights, but I actually love them, so they they're staying on. For me it is perfect in every way. I will probably grab another one soon.

[@GearsofGuns]

Let me know what you end up getting! Thanks for the comment!

[@yokedmonster]

I put the Galloway Procision lower power spring kit on my DA the trigger is on a different level now

[@v.german11b]

You are really enthusiastic about the Canik handguns. I bought the Canik TP9DA and I am extremely pleased with it. So, I concur with your assessment. Thanks for your review!

[@GearsofGuns]

Glad to hear!

[@v.german11b]

@@GearsofGuns I liked your convincing review. So, I bought it. As good as you say it is. Thank you.

[@gregritchie1758]

I agree with 96stealth. It has the best trigger I've ever felt,....just fantastic with short reset. Mecgar magazines for 24bucks. Yes,,the pistol comes in different finishes. I only wish the tp9da had a chamber indicator. Warran stock sights are pretty darn good. I'd like to see a smaller verison in .380 with 10 rd mag for conceal carry. I also own the TP9SFX ,....a competition ready , out of the box unit. I loveem both. What a great bargain too.

[@avigares]

i have good news for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnuVgKyXar5oaM0

[@redman112010]

I love my TP9DA, I'm at around 3000 rounds I think and I've yet to have the first problem. 0 misfires, jams, or failure to eject. The only thing I did was paint the rear sight U red so the front white dot shows up between the red very well.

[@johnjohnson3447]

Try flourescent green on the front. Use a permanent marker.

[@aaamericanlocksmithincstev2789]

I've owned two Canik pistols previously and sold them. I regretted it immediately both times... I've got a TP9DA on order in bronze. They are very well made, the ergos are great & you would be hard put to find a gun with a better OEM trigger. Can't wait to get my hands on the TP9DA & I'm not selling this one!

[@GearsofGuns]

This comment is too funny. I was having this conversation yesterday and the gentleman was saying the same thing you just said. I am glad you love yours like we love ours.

[@davidb.turknett4447]

Just picked up this gun and the tp9 elite sc. The triggers are amazing.

[@rickkahapea5361]

Great review! Loved it. Best one yet for me on this pistol. Love the full size frame, and short slide.

[@96stealth]

I love mine too! I think it has the best trigger on the market. Better than the PPQ and the single action Caniks. The cons for me are 6:00 hold - replaced rear sight to get center hold (dovetail is the same as glocks😀) It’s a little flippy which is fine but it causes a little bounce which isn’t good for an optic. Took my optic off. Prefer iron sights for the gun. I have a little over 2000 rounds through mine (about 800 were with the optic) zero malfunctions!

[@gunsquawk4443]

Really? All my Glocks are 6 o'clock hold.

[@posterlion]

Aug 20, 2022: Purchased online for $352 all in, plus another $20 at the FFL. Supposed to arrive on Monday. Looking forward to the relationship. 🙂

[@Aviation_Professional]

So no way to place on optic on the slide?

[@gonerydin4225]

I have two Canik pistols. They are keepers.

[@gunsquawk4443]

The idea of this gun is to rack it, set the trigger, and carry it in single action. The double action mode is there for second strike capability.

[@johnjohnson3447]

Respectfully disagree. Decocker “rests” the striker spring over long periods of time. Decocker permits safer carry with a round in the chamber which is a highly desirable feature.

[@trainyourdog7351]

Just picked this one and the tp9sa last week.

[@BeardOperator]

I have this gun as well and the trigger actually helped me learn to shoot and be accurate. I had issues until I found this gun. Only con is that you can’t ad an optic without having it milled.

[@redman112010]

Also, I've yet to buy it, but the beretta 30 round mag will fit the canik with a simple modification to let it lock in. You can find a video explaining it on youtube.

[@shaycase1834]

I’ve been wanting the da for a while. I have the tp9v2 and sf... I love my canik was well but prefer the v2 over the sf. I have heard that the da’s only difference is the decocker is only on one side of the slide...

[@martinhodgkinson135]

Just got mine,awesome gun, could you specify some facts on your holster? Seems very practical should a bulletproof be used!

[@BeardOperator]

It’s crazy how the price has seem to go up tremendously since it first came out. I paid over 400$ for it so Caniks starting to realize what they make and charge more for their guns unfortunately

[@jayandrusiak]

Look them up on Dunham’s. Their $380

[@shaughnegonzalez6814]

Nice video 😎 So, I took my Glock .380 to the range & all the guys nearly laughed me out of the place 😆 (great guys really) basically they were telling me that as a woman, I should not be afraid to owning this type of gun other than the .380. So I leveled up & my aim was better, it fits my hand & it's actually easier to use. I'm happy 💯

[@mrmom22]

you can't hit the de-cocker on a single action? I didn't know that I have a tp9v2 a da/sa with a de-cocker.

[@ketaminefrog3897]

I’m looking to buy one when I turn 21 in a month

[@zacharynew2291]

Can you put a red Dot on the tp9 sa

[@mlynch444]

I love mine so far never had any problems. The only issue I'm having right now is adding a red dot. You have to buy a special adapter plate right? And that only works with certain sights? Anybody have recommendations?

[@GearsofGuns]

Yes there are different plates for different foot prints. Google canik optic mounting plate.

[@6luealreadydead]

I just bought this model today but I got delayed so I gotta wait at least 3 business days to pick it up 🤷‍♂️in used to it by now tho cuz with every gun I've bought my background check has been delayed

[@GearsofGuns]

I am sorry to hear that. You'll love it.

[@glenncucci3987]

He sure gave that holster a workout. Lol. Good review.

[@rrertypicky]

What holsters fit this? I can’t find anything online that’s specific to that only the SF and SA. Will those fit the DA?

[@michaelwhimtire6579]

Yes. The sa and sf are the same size as the DA

[@GearsofGuns]

It is the Canik holster that comes with the pistol

[@dijonrhodes7132]

Is the holster only IWB or is it reversible

[@jimmyavery867]

I haven't shot my yet does it still run gud

Unfortunately with the decocker I don't believe a cutout can be done to add a red dot. As for light I have light valkyrie 2 in bronze on my tp9da and looks awesome.

18 round mag? I count 17 shots.

We were lying to you Bob. it couldn't have been because we didn't load 18 or because you missed a shot. We just like to lie about magazine capacity.

[@Tania-vi7in]

I payed 500 for mine

[@Bjayross]

Me too! Still worth EVERY penny tho!

[@william629]

A con for me would be the fact that they only made the barrel 4 inches. Not a deal breaker, but I just don't get the concept of the full frame grip with the 4 inch barrel.

[@GearsofGuns]

You get the control of a full frame with a faster draw out of your holster

[@william629]

@@GearsofGuns I get that part when it comes to the full size frame/grip, but why not give us the advantage of a longer barrel since the hardest part of the gun to conceal was made full size? I don't mind the full size frame, but why put the compact size barrel on it?

[@AOMartialArts]

@@william629 Um..... because "you get the control of a full frame with a faster draw out of your holster" The dude literally gave you a great reason to keep it at 4 inches. And it's a direct competitor to the 19x which has a 4.02 barrel.
