New Canik TP9 DA 9mm Pistol Review

[@midniteoyl8913]

Sexy, sexy in Burnt Bronze.. Liked that 2 tone (BB lower, black slide) when you swapped slides too.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother! Canik USA gave the thumbs up to switching the Slides so I'm happy : )

[@midniteoyl8913]

Nice.. now to find one in each color :)

[@regsparkes6507]

I'm thinking that this 'two-tone' effect would be a real selling 'magnet'..

[@midniteoyl8913]

Ya, they really should make one already 2 tone in these colors.. I'm gettin sooo tired of FDE and 'Nickle'..

[@regsparkes6507]

Me too, actually. That FDE is getting dated now.

[@littromney6048]

Have this gun and LOVEEEEEEEE it. The trigger "staging" ability is amazing and the reset is the best in ANY pistol. Best $360 I've ever spent!

[@phillipfilides5894]

I've own the original tp9 for 3 years and never had a single problem nice firearms

[@carlosclaus7017]

About two years ago I purchased a TP9 V2, based on you review, and I've been loving it. The G17 is my home defense weapon, but the V2 has been my go range gun. I've got close to 2,000 rounds through it, with only one malfunction, and I suspect that was caused by the cheap amo I was using.

[@cali_smartb5098]

What ammo do you buy? Your best kind?

[@mmakatakiamaphepa6805]

It is always the case, sometimes if the case has been rebounded,

[@twowheelingnut7898]

Another good review. I like how they implemented a DA/SA in a striker fire pistol. Hopefully other manufacturers will do the same.

[@v.german11b]

Excellent video 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 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). -The second mode is, racking the slide to load a round in the chamber and not decocking the pistol, making the first shot an over traveling trigger without resistance, until you feel it clicks in the single action, and you can then fire it (if so is warranted). -The third mode is for the pros (anti-stress), which it's racking a round in the chamber and carefully using the safe action system to stage the trigger in single action with an average weight pull of 4.5 lbs. TP9 DA is truly an amazing pistol with 3 firing modes. So: "you do you," that is: whatever you prefer and you are comfortable with. I own a Canik TP9-DA and is reliable, very accurate, with an amazing trigger pull, just second to the Walther PPQ, and equal to the CZ P10.

[@artmartinez2409]

I have both the DA and the cz p 10 6 caniks total They make great firearms

[@johnpagdilao6075]

The 2 tone look would be the way to go for me to, the all Burnt Bronze reminds me of the James Bond golden gun. That said TP9's are some of the best pistols for the price.

[@sootch00]

Canik USA gave the official thumbs up for the slide switch. I'm hoping they'll introduce models in the two tone.

[@austinphillips5630]

Sootch, as well as viewers, PLEAAE READ THIS. I own a Tp9 Da and theres a couple things i have noticed that are very cool features that Sootch probably just didnt notice because its quite different. First when taking apart, use decocker, but then when pulling the takedown levers, there is no need to pull back 1/8th inch. It can be at rest, and then pulled straight foward. Second, when reloading a magazing while the pistol is locked open, if you slap the full mag in with a decent amount of pressure, it will release the slide making the gun ready, without having to hit the slide release button yourself, or pull back and release. If you dont own this pistol yet, get it! I trust mine with my life, and i used to be a bit of a "Glock Fanboy" until i purchased my first of many Caniks, the Tp9 DA at least is miles ahead of any out of the box Glock. Simpily put, this is by far the greatest handgun ive ever owned or shot in my life. Stay safe, stay free, im Panda, and i approve this message.

Jus Got One Om So Excited To Shoot It What Holster Are U Using And Do U Carry In Single Or Double Action?

[@just-dl]

Bro, something I’d like to commend you on is a little thing but I really appreciate. You clear your guns on camera. Other folks might mention having cleared it off camera but to me I can relax a bit more seeing it happen. This is not a criticism of others. Again I appreciate that others acknowledge the importance, clear their guns and say so on camera. But, for a new shooter, watching you do it encourages the practice even more. So thank you. God bless you, as well.

[@larpingspinster3562]

[@Mr911Medic]

17:38 - The DA pull will smooth-out after 500 rounds. The more you DA pull, the better it gets. I own several different types of pistols ranging in price from $4K 1911's to a $199 Taurus PT 111...and this pistol is an AMAZING value. Highly recommend...in black.

[@jwc00789]

Excellent Review! While I continue to be very well served by my original Canik TP9V1, I could be tempted by a Canik TP9 DA in Black Finish! It's nice to see how this basic design and models continue to evolve.

[@ronniebaughman1666]

Canik DA seems to have everything you need in a striker fire pistol I do like Mec gar magazines for ease of maintenance and it has style and it ejects shells away from your body far to the right unlike most other striker fired pistols.

[@gilanderson3923]

I ALWAYS enjoy your reviews. Thanks for your effort to bring top quality information to the masses. I also enjoy the bloopers at the end that shows that as great as the videos are, that it takes effort and multiple takes sometimes to get it right. You are a really good sport for including them. I also appreciate your voice on political situations regarding gun laws, the second amendment, and in this case, the polical climate and situation in the country of manufacture. I also read the opinions of those who comment. Keep up the great work!

[@virginian3390]

On a recommendation by Paul Markel of Student of the Gun I tried the Canik and found it to live up to its reviews and purchased the Elite S model. Love it for my EDC.

[@richardholbeck2710]

The "SAO" would give me the same operation as my Glocks. The "DASO" would give me the advantage of the restrike like my S&W 5906. That is something that is important to me if I have a flashlight or a phone in my other hand. Your reviews are terrific. They are well prepared and don't ramble like others do.

[@ScottSiddon]

We need CANiK to make at least one more in a TP9 SC DA. This would be the ultimate striker fired carry weapon that can handle +P rounds (to bloom hollow points because of the shorter barrels in CCW.) Putting the decocker on the back of the slide under the cocked indicator so the red dot cut-out can stay put and would be nice to have the cock indicator tactile with its visual. Grip sized for 10rd. mags. of TP9 so all TP9 mags will work (especially with mag sleeves.) Giving us a budget, small, safe, CCW that can be modified into a full sized range gun by incorporating into it a longer barrel with compensator and grip leverage with a longer 20rd. mag and sleeve. The grip is the printing in CCW not the barrel and with a mag change it will improve the recoil handling of the gun after the initial double action (adrenalin) firing from retention. If one doesn't like the first pull of DA, then rack a round and its SA all day. Basically it has options to choose from like the old days with the 1911s conditions of readiness. Sig has modular but if CANiK made a TP9 SC DA, it would blow Sig out of the water without a safy or hammer needed. Most personal protection rounds are sold in 20rd boxes (2x10rd mags or 1x20rd mag) easy peasy lemon squeezy math for what to buy for mags you have.

Nice video as I watch the Super Bowl. I just picked up my tp9da yesterday and I like the feel of the gun in hand. The DA pull doesn't seem to stack on the pull and the SA is outstanding. Crisp. The trigger is very nice with short reset in SA. Can't wait to try different ammo to see how the tp9da digests them. For the price this things appears great and if anything like the tp9sfx ( which I own) I will be very happy.

[@colterodell1851]

Canik with all the updates!!! I have a V2 with a typical side-to-side dovetail for the front sight. Sadly I don't love mine nearly as much as all the reviewers do, though it is certainly a good value. Shot really far left out of the box and Century wasn't too interested in fixing it. They finally accepted it back but it came back to me shooting the same as it had been. Something about the front sight being kicked way over to the left sets off my OCD or something. Anyway, your reviews are always fun so subbed and I hear comments are good for you guys so BAM! comment.

[@papatorr3669]

I owned six different Glock models, you-all know the pros and cons. I'm down to one green Gen 4 G17, and a bunch a mags. My con remains the grip angle of the Glock, I still prefer the 1911 angle. I just bought this exact Canik model and just love it, grip angle and ergos included. Love the trigger too. I was still debating the merits of having a safety vs no safety, and I think this design is the answer. The Glock safe action trigger is NOT a safety, period. The trigger paddle prattle does not resist firing, but DA at 9+ lbs does. Glocks can and have inadvertently fired being holstered and other ways. A DA will not, just like a revolver does not. Very very good SA on this model. (Excellent still goes to 1911 style SA). Great video

[@milkapeismilky5464]
