Canik

[P_Taylor]

Any opinions on these pistols? I only know what I have read and seen on the internet. 

Considering a long slide Mete and have not found much negative on them.

[scatman]

From what I've shot of these, because a buddy owns like 6, they're decent pistols for their price point.

I am a Sig snob but my son in law has one and it functions flawlessly and is very accurate. It ain’t a Sig but it ain’t $1,000 either. Great pistol for the price. IMHO

The prices on the Caniks have been steadily going up, since they were first introduced.  Used to be you could buy one for under $300, but I've noticed that price has risen to around $500 or more. And they are adding some good options now, like a RDS. I've been interested in the Caniks for sometime now, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Turkish arms seems to have taken a good foot hold in the U.S.  I currently have two Turkish made clones. One is the SDS U.S. Army 1911a1 and the other is a Tisas Fatih 13, a Beretta 81 clone. I like them both!  I am also considering a Girsan MC312 shotgun and a M35 (Hi-Power clone), if I can find one.

I shoot competitively and I am seeing more and more Caniks.  They are excellent guns for the money.  I believe they are loosely based on the Walther PPQ line.

I bought one when first came out  I didn’t know what to expect took to range it shot well no jams or stovepipes  decent gun. For money

Is anyone using one as a carry gun?

That, I have not seen yet, but IMO these are more reliable than the Taurus G series I see a lot of people carry.

I have a G2 that's been reliable too, but it's house gun for my youngest.

Oh I wouldn’t hesitate to carry it. I just have others I like better. I’m not a Taurus snob. I hike with a 627 Tracker .357. The ones I’ve had, have been good guns. This is my second G2.

I also have TX22 that a blast to shoot!

That is pretty much what I have heard about them. 

Thanks , 

[FrankD]

had a TPSFX a while back and it was a dream to shoot just didn't really fill any holes in my collection so let it go.  I wouldn't hesitate to pick up one of the new models.  I know mags have been tough to come by lately for them.

I agree the Taurus tx. Is great mine is a tack driver shoots with my ruger mark 4. But picky on ammo.   

[Snaveba]

I have one. Shoots fine. I like having a variety of makes and models.

I “might” even get a Glock one day.

Haven’t found mine to be picky, but I’ve only put Federal Auto Match, Punch (which it LOVES) and some old Olin White Box.

Can you shoot any ammo or is yours picky as well   Mine likes CCI ina blazer

Do you have the competition model 

[chances R]

Ii have a subcompact with Romeo 0 as does a buddy.  I have shot several other Caniks.  All work very well, no problems whatsoever.  For the right price, go for it.

[Pups37110]

I occasionally carry the SC. Reliable but is a bit chonky.

I have the Taurus standard tx22 as well as the competition model. The standard is my favorite pistol, fun and only 2 malfunctions in over 2000 rounds.

As someone who personally didnt care for glocks for the longest time, you'll find there's 6 sitting amongst my collection. I am not a fanboy by any means, but do appreciate a good shooter. My collection holds a Glock 19 gen 3 and gen 5, as well as a 19x, a gen4 21, 41, and a 40.

Oh I’m sure I will end up with at least one. I like having a variety. I suppose it might be that fact that Glocks can be such “fan-boy” pistols that is the turn off to me (which Is actually a rather stupid reason to dislike them). 
 

if the right MOS version pops up when I have cash, one will likely end up in rotation.
