I have the TP9sc Elite and I can testify to great customer support. At 70 I couldn't rack the slide. I called Canik and they sent me the lower tensile spring at no cost immediately. A month later I damaged a spring on my own and had to send it in for service. It took only 30 days to ship and receive the gun back from repair. Lifetime warranty, fast support. I use the holster as an inside waistband, it's very comfortable in appendix carry mode.
I'm a old school revolver guy, the owner of the local gun shop said that I would like the Canik DA9 as a home security weapon. I tried it and love it. A few months later I saw one of these in the used section for $280. I got it and love it as a concealed carry gun. I think that I'm now a auto guy.
I'm a Canik fan. Caniks are well made. Their triggers are amazing and yes, they're accurate. I've owned my Canik TP9SC Elite for a couple of years and I've encountered ZERO problems with it. It has eaten every round I had fed it, various weights from 108gr to 158gr, and bullet types whether they were FMJ or JHP. I installed night sights and I replaced the slide stop assembly with the low profile version that Canik now offers on their website. I trust Caniks enough to use them as EDC.
Ok, i was a big springfield and glock snob, met a young guy at the range, 5/6 years back, he was showing off his new tp9 to me and he offered me to shoot it, secretly i thought, this cheap pos, 10 rounds tearing the center out of the target, i thought damn thats the best striker fire trigger ive ever felt! I ask what do these cost? He replied i got mine for 299.00. mic drop... now i own 2 the sc and the sfx.
Thanks for that that’s what I was wanting to hear this is my first one and I’m not familiar with All that but that’s exactly what I was hoping for…thanks for sharing!
I like the holster very much. Some guy on a YT channel didn't like the holder because he claimed it unhooked from his belt. In fact, the holder is excellent. I've carried this handgun with its holster for almost two years and it never dislodged once. The trick is to thread your leather belt through the holster hooks rather than hooking the holster onto the belt. The holster will be properly set that way, IMHO.
I've got an original G19 that's been rebuilt by Glock twice since the mid 80's. My daughter bought the Elite SC to go with her G43X. First time I shot it i was really impressed. I was looking for the Combat Elite Executive and instead found the Walther PDP-F. Requalifying Saturday, I had the daughter's Elite SC since it shoots so well and so others on the church security team could try it out. A deputy and one other guy have already picked up Canicks as a result>> Great guns, but here is a side tip...Canik mags will fit my Walther and visa versa. All of the 15,18 and 20 rounders I bought for my daughter will fit the PDP and my Walther mags fit, lock, feed and drop free on the Canik. Remember the Canik is designed after the SW99, an early Walther pistol. So winners all around!!
My experience with the TP9 Elite SC wasn't as good as yours. I purchased mine with the intension of having a small higher capacity carry. Presently I have 1200 rounds through it and cannot get through 100 rounds without a failure, even after following their break in procedure AND having a local shop clean it, and look it over and THEN sending it to Canik. Not crazy about their customer service. Tried different ammo they suggested, still fails. It took me outlining how much I had spent at the time (about $120 in ammo) before they agreed to look at it. Contrast that with the Kimber Mako. I looked online for break in instruction and there were none. So I shrugged my shoulders; cleaned and lubed it, packed 100 rounds of Magtech 115gr FMJ and 40 rounds of Safari 124 JHP and off to the range. Zero issues. Paid about the same as the Canik, similar capacity and feature but far more reliability. The Canik is in my safe and the Kimber is at my side.
TP9 EliteSC....Very sweet shooter...mild recoil, great accuracy...paid $349.00 for the case, holster, 2 mags and "fitting kit" at Academy Sports.... 2K rounds through it, one stove pipe from cheap Wolf Steel case...
Hi,Brother. I from in Puerto Rico🇵🇷.I go buy one gun and I love that one Canik Tp9 Elite SC I have a arms linces and I go buy one this year.Everry comment so good about the Canik is my firt gun.I so happy to buy one and practice with them.I like you video.
I contacted Canil diring Covid. After 100 rounds, the nickel plating was flaking off the striker. It was less than 2 weeks from 1st contact until i had a new striker assembly at my house. I felt like that was preety good service.
Drop in the $50 Canik rival trigger. Gives that excellent trigger a HUGE upgrade. Takes 10 minutes and a roll punch. Just put one in my Mete SFT. Really nice. Thanks for the video.
After market triggers will take the zero weight pre travel out of the factory trigger. So rather than having the slop pre travel the first pull and the reset pull will be within a few millimeters of the same. I have a Galloway precision trigger in mine and it essentially shoots like a single action gun. Tiny pretravel and zero stacking because the striker is already fully cocked. If you want a Glock 19 size compact from Canik with a 4 inch barrel look into the TP9 Elite or the Mete SF. They also recently released a Micro Compact the Mete MC which runs the same mags as the Elite SC, so a 13 and 15 round micro straight out of the box on a gun that is about the size of a Glock 43.
@@tennesseegunroom An unnecessary expense. The SFx Rival is a *competition* handgun. The TP9 Elite SC is a *personal protection* handgun. Two different purposes.
Paid 389 for mine new, Just liked the look and picked it up. Love everything about it. Been my daily cary for atlest 2 years. Will probably be buying more in different configs.
I own 2 Caniks (Elite SC with Shield SMS2 and the TP9SFX with Vortex Viper). I paid $699 for the SFX and $650 for the Elite SC and both Caniks blow away just about anything else in the striker fired arena including pistols costing 2x as much. They are incredibly accurate, 100% reliable and the triggers are unbelievably good. I can’t wait to get my hands on an all FDE MC9…
MC9 is great! Some people had issues but I haven’t seen any! 115, 124,147 FMJ and hallow points zero issues! I’ll take the mc9 over SIG Springfield glock all day long.
I have multiple Caniks, I go to the store to buy something different and come home with another Canik. I have contacted Century Arms a couple of times and found them to be very good for customer service. The only thing I don't like about the SC is where the grip ends at the back of the gun and the empty space between the end of the grip and the magazine. I like my CZ P10C and S&W M&P 2.0, but the Caniks are my favorite. I don't share your fondness for Glock, the grip angle and lack of ergonomics is a deal breaker for me. I got rid of them a long time ago.
Ya I will agree with you on the grip angle for Glock for sure I love them but I have been shooting them for so long now that it’s hard for me to adjust to the grip angle that about 90% of the other guns share lol not sure if I’ll ever get rid of my Glocks but I do gotta say they all just sit in the safe now my wife put down her 19 for this one and I put down mine for the fn 509c tactical …even though the Canik does have a better trigger honestly
The fact we use Cadillac as a high standard so to will Glock. If you have to compare it to Glock, it could never be a Glock Killer. BTW, I have 3 Caniks. I prefer Glock but I'm a lover of all guns.
People need to stop saying for the money these Canik pistols are great guns all the way around the qualitiy is there you get a lot on your purchase trigger is great comes optic ready it has nice serrations. It has a loaded gun indicator the sights aren’t bad is definitely a Glock killer I love my TP9 elite SC it’s my EDC I also have the SFX Rival been shooting it for the last year is competition ready the gun is also amazing this is coming from someone that owns a G19 ,G17 and a 34 you have to spend a couple of dollars extra just to make them shoot like Caniks, they also shoot better than a lot of those high-quality guns out of the box kudos to century arms
I've had my canik and I've shot a 19x and the biggest difference I notice was how stiff it was to rack the canik is there a way to make it smoother or will it get smoother over time?
Im a M&P guy...The Tp9 Elite SC was my second 9mm... i carried both...But i had to sell my TP9 SC for the MC9. Just had to keep my M&P9...But my next will be the Canil Rival-S...i think it offers more than the M&P Competitor.
Man I honestly can’t believe I’m saying this lol but I have a g30sf and I would take this one over it all day! ….now spend a few extra hundred and replace the Glock trigger/sights and add some stippling then they would be comparable….but at that point your gunna be in the Glock $8-900 for the same quality you can be in this for 5…and yes that hurts me to say because I truly am a Glock guy lol
@@tennesseegunroom love your honesty! I love my caniks! Not a Glock guy, just believe glocks is more about the hype built up behind it. Don’t get me wrong the glocks are reliable as heck! But with so many other options on the market right now that looks way better as well. I can’t swallow glocks for the price.
after market support for Canik is catching up fast these days you just need to know where to look,,,, as far as customer support I couldn't say because in the 7 I own I haven't had any issues to call them about,,, and unless you break something major like the frame or slide in half or something like that all you need is a tiny little bit of mechanical ability,,, because Canik is sooooo easy to work on,,,, and an outfit called Midwest Gun Works because they have any part you could possibly need for a Canik and the parts and accesories are pretty darn inexpensive to boot.
Lol best comment yet lol they definitely made a customer out of me because I’m the same way already been looking at like 3 other ones I want to buy now already!
I dont like the holster. The belt clips get stretched out quickly . Even though they say the holsters ambidextrous once you remove the screws the switch sides even with Loctite they're never the same again
I own 4 Chanki s , I call BS on customer service. My first one I had well over 17,000 rounds through it, trouble free. As a mater of face, maybe 10,000 were reloads. It just might be one of the best Out of the Box pistols on the Market. Sell you crappy Glocks buddy
Nothing is a Glock killer because Glock simps are "special" New slide = new gun Optic mount= new gun Short grip = new gun Extra long slide = new gun New color = new gun Now repeat with each caliber. Simps keep financially supporting this business model. Glock isn't getting replaced
Man that’s a hard one lol for a carry option I’d have to say it’s a fn509c tactical “that’s what I carry now” but I still have love for a g19 “I own 2” …now that being said one of my all time favorites is the fnx “even though I don’t currently have one” ….what’s yours?
@@dp2world23 ya I get that I didn’t know if you had a issue with it I’ve had guns like that where there wasn’t a thing wrong with it the thing just wasn’t for me…and I’m not in ga but I got a good friend down there that may actually go pick it up
The trigger is so good because its a fully cocked trigger, Glock uses a partially cocked trigger because its more safe. Glock has a lower bore axis,more after market support, longer track record of reliability, i agree with you Glock is better.

Have never had an issue to call support and have fired 1000+ rounds thru both that I own.

I own several Canik handgun models, and the TP9 Elite SC is truly one of the best, certainly the best in its class.
