Canik TP9 Elite SC Tabletop Review and Field Strip

[@willpowellwins]

I've had mine for 3 months now and this gun will not disappoint!

[@Ren-fx5ti]

Didnt expect most of the canik line to make an appearance when testing the holster.lol

[@miketaylorID1]

Glad to see Canik decided to polish and chrome the trigger ramp and internals. A few minutes with some flitz and a Dremel on my eliteS brought a great trigger to a 10/10. Chromed should be a 10 out of the box. Hopefully we stay friendly with Turkey. Canik is really doing a great job here growing market share in the states.

[@curtissmith8789]

This just may be my next pistol. Shot one two weeks ago, very nice. The trigger feels very much like my Walther PDP, nuff said. As for Turkey, I believe their a NATO ally. We're in good standings with them.

[@Hypergraph]

you guys are lucky we can't have guns unless a direct threat upon our family or something even it exist the government assign police protection around the house and still can't get the pistol :/

Man I need that TP9SF elite. Got the SC and it made me hungry for more.

[@happyhaunter_5546]

I do have any personal experience with Caniks, but I gotta say, they pack a LOT of value in that box. Subcompact with a holster out of the box is pretty great if you ask me; even if the holster isn't amazing, at least you've got something to protect the trigger and actually be able to have your new firearm on you!

raising the bar lmao + ambi and a more than decent capacity

[@Ctatyk]

I have owned one for about 5 months now. It is my EDC & has had about 1,000 rounds through it. It does everything that I ask of it very well. Not a single jam, failure to feed, nothing.

[@clinthutchison3795]

Break down starts at 11:22. Great feature review! Thank you. Newbie Owner with great analytical skills I just have to say this. The Frame's 'slide guide' (small horizontal tab - "rails") at rear end, above the thumb-gap bevel, is your best visual guide to how far (extremely short distance) the slide needs to go to "pop" off (per video 'back flip'). As we always look at the slide from the bottom the Frame's front 'slide guides' fit in two (2) slots carved out of the Slide guide channel.

[@GBGuns]

Yes. Most of the tabletop videos I film straight out of the box without orienting myself too much to the gun so that my discoveries and reactions are as valid as yours would be. It's a tough balance to find. Other times a few hours of prep work goes a long way towards a deeper understanding of the gun. In the end it all comes down to how much time I have, I have a real job, don't do KZbin for money, so it's sometimes hard to devote extra time to preparing for a video.

[@clinthutchison3795]

[@alanwhitsitt5196]

I have really wanted that Taurus G2c... until now. This one comes with the holster. Can see the better quality of the parts. A bit more $, but how much would you spend on a case, holster, and all the extras this one comes with?

[@sarahmueller335]

I own 9 Canics. Just ordered 2 desert combat elites. All shot very well. They have many interchangeable parts. I have put over 2000 rds through one of SFXs with no misfired or jams. Easy take downs and quick to clean. Well worth the price. They all have easy smooth breaks and shot resets. The SC is still too large to conceal carry.

[@khmergodhobbies]

I don't have a trigger gauge, but it feels like the SC has slightly lighter trigger than the TP9SF Elite. It's almost scary sometimes. Canik guns have great triggers.

[@locksfoils]

Manual dedicated to the PPQ SC at the 1:56 mark. I love that you said that.

[@TheHounddog2343]

What is the width at the grip? I’m thinking about getting one.

[@bberkok281]

"This gun is produced according to the request of Turkish special forces. Front sight is small so you can see the target becides that and also you can handle the gun from the ground or table easyly because the grip is always stays upper a little bit. Tthis function helps to pick the gun quicker from surfaces. Finally you can disarm and arm this gun by one hand in four move in the case of one of owners hand is injured." (N. Yaman)

[@GBGuns]

@@barikhan37 We do revisit some, but since we review about 50 guns per year, and have real jobs (we're not professional KZbinrs) there's not enough time to revisit them all. We brought this gun back out to compare it with the METE MC9.

So much value from this company

[@michaelhoward5532]

Thx Graham!!! Looking at it!!! After the Mete MC9 Purchase few weeks ago I am a fan and this be next one Sir!!

[@benwillard6751]

Seems closer to the FNSC 9 than Hellcat but both are after same market. Canik is cheaper than both others but only 2 mags. $35 for 12 round extra mags. Looks like a great gun though, definitely will attempt to check one out!!

[@pmorin313]

These are great guns at a great price. My only knock would be is the trigger bars tend to bend over time causing it to have a dead trigger.. hopefully they have fixed this issue

[@ivsiguitarist]

I love my Canik TP9 Elite SC. I'm used to the size (I carry IWB at about 5 o clock). There is no trigger out there as good as this (except maybe the Walther PPQ). Buttery smooth and quick reset. Super accurate!

I'm taking this or the PPQ SC over these micro pistols (P365/Hellcat) all day long. Just got my SC the other day and it's money just like it's big brother.

I can't believe this gun is making me think about selling my M&P Compact. The fact that it's already cut for a reflex sight without even loosing the rear iron sight, and for such a good price is amazing.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Excellent review 😁. My husband and I are not fans of anything made in Turkey. This firearm is exceptional. Probably going to purchase this very nice firearm anyway.... You know far more than I do about firearms, but I believe it's manufacturing quality is equal to many German made pistols. It's a perfect gun for when you're outside exercising.

Great gun all around, and I can only imagine how they’ve improved on a gun that really need improving....... Well okay, not everyone is 6’1 and has yeti paws for hands! Enter the TP9 Elite.

Probably one of the only firearms this year that I'm actually excited about or looking forward to. My TP9SF reminds me of the VP9 I had but for a lot less cost. I shoot that thing so well I can't wait to get one of these and have a carry option. Other than the Shield RMS, what other optics can that plate accommodate? Do they offer any other plates for other optics, like Vortex? Thanks Graham!

[@GBGuns]

Only one plate ships in it. I think the loaded chamber indicator may be in the way of other optics.

[@guerom1367]

Mine only came with 1 backstrap and i dont even know which one. Seems like one of the gun shop owners though about buying it and changed their mind. Had a chip on the paint of the grip, missing a backstrap, and looks like it had a lil wear on the internals. Then they sold it to me as supposedly new! On another note my first canik was an sfx and now the sc. I fell in love with canik, their triggers and accuracy. Might just sell all my other pistols and get all caniks

Interesting carry candidate for sure. Nice that it's got the optics cut. I may have to check this one out. I've got a PPS I love and have been thinking about having it cut for an optic. The TP9 would give me more rounds and an optics cut in a bit larger package. Hmmmmm.

[@thisSiteSucksHard]

Can’t go wrong with the pps....got a couple of em and of all the tons of guns I’ve got, it’s one of my favorites and goes to the range with me virtually every time. Just ordered 7 more 7 rnd mags from Midway cuz it’s just too fun to shoot and they were on sale with free shipping. That pps with optic looks pretty sweet as well. I’ve just got into RDS on pistols and put my first on my 19 and it’s nifty. Takes some gettin use to but it’s pretty cool and quite accurate. Have fun buddy!

[@christopherlaney4691]

Been carrying this gun for a while. Its a great gun put 500 rounds thru it one hiccup on the very first round got a stove pipe think it was my thump on the slide generally i leave my thumbs loose but i thing they were the culprit...I’ve seen some posts about the magazines not dropping freely i had the same issue with loaded mags but the instant i tried to show my dad with an empty mag it dropped so fast I couldn’t catch it... after some testing the mag drops freely with up to six rounds in the extended mag and five in the 12 rounder... im sure you lefties love the ambidextrous slide release, but as a righty it makes the gun thicker and makes me miss the standard slide release and by extension the thickness on my other Canik’s... last thing personally Im not a fan of the holster for IWB it is nice for OWB since it fits all my others at the range

[@gloriamaletta8667]

Glad to see this gun became reality really like it and with a price around 370 or slightly less it should do very well in sales l have a TP9sfx love it if l didn't have a Sig P365 and 2 Walthers P99cs l would definitely get one but l really don't need it but of course l still want one Canik has been knocking it out of the park in the last two years making quality guns with many features at a very cost effective price l sold my Springfield XDM 5.25 comp 9mm and replaced it with a Canik TP9SFX and couldn't be happier yes it's better than the XDM costed less and has a better trigger and reset and more features and l shoot it better bottom line Canik is kicking ass on the competition and doing so for a better price with equal or better quality yes l also love my Sar 9
