Glock 34 gen 5 MOS vs Canik TP9SFX - does a higher price guarantee a better pistol?

As an owner of 3 of the SFx guns....if you're shooting reduced power ammo thru it, Canik will send you a reduced power recoil spring for free to put an end to the stovepipes. As for accuracy, I'd say you need to try some different ammo. I've shot 3-shot-groups at 25 yards thru one ragged hole. All 3 SFx guns are the most accurate 9mm guns I've ever owned....and I've owned a lot of them!!

If you shoot 124 grain or above, you will have hardly any issues with the CANIK as they are designed for NATO rounds. I have a Canik and a Glock, I had to spend almost $700 to make my glock shoot almost as good as my Canik which I bought for significantly less and run stock. Just saying.

[@warrenrosen2326]

I hear ya. My sfx runs 115 great, but I pumped 1k rds of major9 through it (making power factor at the stupid chrono). Everyone who tries the sfx trigger has the same question: "Is this stock?" Good shooting😁

[@joefleming2289]

I also have both guns I paid $700 for the Gen5 G34 and (like Robert) spent $700 making it the way I wanted. I paid $650 for the Canik (with a red dot) and kept it completely stock. They shoot almost the same. The G34 has slightly less recoil and better mags I found that if I leave the SFX mags sit around fully loaded the springs get weak. So I store them empty. I think SFK is a better looking gun. I love the G34, but knowing what I know now, If I had to do it over, I would save the $1400 and been happy with the Canik.... My carry gun? A customized G42

My SFX shoots under 2" at 25 yards. He has a bad gun or ammo, or something. One of the most accurate pistols I have. My CZ Shadow 2 shoots under 1 inch.

My Glocks are like my Dodge Ram pick up. Kinda ugly and ungainly but both have always worked well for me.

[@5jjt]

The Glock has nothing it doesn't need. Even the front serrations on gen 5 are questionable. This is what leads to its clean, sexy look. Don't let others convince you it's ugly just because they refuse to get one only because they hate the younger glock crowd's ferocity to defend the Glock. People are drawn to Glock for obvious reasons, and some reasons not so much. Some people feel the need to get a glock and they don't know why. I got mine because I realized after getting my HK p30 that both hands are supposed to grip the grip, not just one or the other. Glock's grips are superb for two hands. If the grip feels like a block, then hold it with two hands and that goes away.

[@czwarlord9243]

@@5jjt I've owned many guns to include glocks. In today's market they are definitely on the slow boat. Things that are not great; initial price, ergonomics, stippling, trigger, plastic sights, grip angle, grips are only for medium-large hands and terrible customer service/warranty if you ever have to have one repaired. There are so many guns that are every bit as reliable (I'd argue more durable/reliable in the larger more powerful calibers and certain models). 30 years ago glock was the next best thing. Today they just dont stack up. If you dont believe me, then believe the thousands of competition shooters in USPSA and IDPA in production classes that have switched in recent years. Production classes now see less than 10% for glocks and 80% for CZ and Tangfolios while canik and walthers becoming more and more popular and will soon outpace the glocks (if they haven't already). Its pretty obvious they are just outclassed. Glocks generally are built as bare bones service pistols for LE. They have one of the lowest production costs in the industry which allow them to lowball everyone on contracts. Their business model is not to provide you with the latest and greatest, rather make money on their contracts. I don't hate them.....but I understand what they are and what they are not.

[@aggrodkreg4321]

You ever seen those old-school 1911s made for Camp Perry bullseye competitions? The ones with the really tall target sights? That's the vibe I get when seeing your Glock. I dig it. Also, I agree with the video.

they're Deltapoint Pro co-witness sights . KZbin hates it when you have videos with pistols with red dots on it.

I genuinely shoot better with my Glocks sights over every gun I own. I guess I’m one of the 15 People you spoke of haha. I guess it’s due to my vision being a little poorer and I can see them great, and I’ve used them for roughly 30yrs now.

HK VP9L Optic ready entered the chat

[@gregb1469]

I just did an all day pistol training on Sunday. 700ish rounds of Winchester 115,147 federal 115 ball, and Tula horsemeat115. Trying to making it break on me. So I could practice clearing Jams and such throughout the day. Except it didn’t on anything. Made hits beyond 25m, grouped well all day, it did get hot when we did a speed shooting where I mag dumped 4 20round mags back to back. But for the most part Gun was flawless all day. Not so much for a bunch of Glocks of various shapes and size, CZ and FN’s that had +|- 10 jams throughout the day. I’m purposely trying to break it, to make it fail. And it hasn’t. My round count is still below 2000 so it’s not a lot. But I do at this point trust my life with my tp9sfx as a home defense pistol over my G17.

I took my SFX to range today for the first time and I had no issues with accuracy or reliability. Admittedly I only put 400 rounds through it but your gun had seen multiple failures by that point. I honestly wonder if you have a barrel that the chamber is out of spec. It could explain both of your issues. Also, great video and fair points!

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

yeah I am not poopooing the platform - but this particular specimen has it's issues. The lockup on the barrel/slide wasn't super great.

Totally agree...super reliable gun and accurate. Think something is wrong with his gun. Should have it checked out something is out of spec. CANIK Guarantees a 2 inch grouping after 60k rounds...send it back.

Waiting on the Rival

[@MyDomo1988]

I have both firearms in this video. My glock 34 gen 5 was $780 after taxes and my Tp9sfx was $565 after taxes. The Glock sights are crap and plastic, the glock’s trigger was average at best. Where as the Canik sights were great and it’s trigger was superior to every factory trigger that I’ve ever felt. You’d need to spend at least another 2-300 bucks to compete trigger and sight wise, not to mention zeroing in an optic is much easier on the Canik. Canik’s are better by way of being cheaper to a superior handgun but if money isn’t an issue I’d go with a Glock. It’s more customizable and After spending about $1300 on it, you would have a far longer lasting and superior handgun. Fresh out the box it’s the Canik for me

[@user-mm4je1sb9b]

I just grabbed a Gen5 34 with Holosun 507C -GR X2 for $624 + tax. It was used but never fired. I just love a steal.

[@v.german11b]

Canik is a notch above the Glock, albeit die-hard Glock loyalist fans cannot accept that reality.

[@ShibDefender]

For your groupings each gun is meant to be held subtly different you can’t hold the cantilever the same as a Glock which probably why your groups are so far off. But your the pro shooter

[@richardwaid4718]

My Canik doesn’t seem to have the feeding issues 300-350 rds will one failure to eject shooting wolf ammo Also accuracy at rest was excellent. 2.5” groups Agree with all your other points for the glocks superiority fortunately I have both also.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

yeah mine was a lemon.

[@adamdeblois508]

The failure to eject problem with the canik is actually fairly common and easily fixed by a phone call and two day wait. The stock recoil spring is specifically made for 124g +p nato rounds. Weaker rounds don’t provide enough force to fully cycle the slide and eject the round. A simple google search should have provided you with this information, but I guess not haha. The fix? Call canik and ask for.a reduced power recoil spring and they will 2-day ship you one under their warranty. As for the accuracy issue, I have no explanation. My tp9sfx was extremely accurate at25 yards even without a rest. Yeah, I had to rack it every shot because it stovepiped but it was right on point. I’m not a gun expert, and don’t claim to be, but I would take my sfx over your glock any say

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

You haven’t watched my other videos on the gun. I got the replacement spring from Canik and eventually the Sprinco set up

[@MDpolo]

I owned this Canik but had nothing but problems with it. Very nice trigger, but to me that was the only redeeming quality of it. I am not a Glock guy, but between these two I would pick the G34 without hesitation. Thank you for the video.

Depends what you are doing. Production I went with canik, mine never jammed. My 34 jammed all the time, seemed to need a new recoil spring every other week as well and I could never get decent accuracy with it. I realize my experience between these 2 is pretty much exactly opposite of the world, but I got rid of both and just use CZs now for competition.
