Went with the intention of buying a Taurus G3. But, once I wrapped my hand around the Canik, it was a done deal.

Sadly, I bought this gun with a mentality that some may think puts me in the same group as the rioters. But, truth is, I don't trust cops at all. I don't believe the hype about them shooting people in the face, racism, etc. I do believe that if they confiscate a really nice gun, even when used to protect yourself, you're not ever going to see it again. I've got too many folks "known to me" in law enforcement and gun sales not to know how this works.

This gun points perfectly and works like a champ. If I've gotta give up a gun, just as soon as it be an economy model.

Anyone can slander me if they like. I'm conservative, not naive.

Any difference in size between the two?

The Canik is a tad bigger. Grip a little longer...

Fit my hand great. This is something everybody just has to decide.

When I picked the Canik up, it just felt right. The angle of the grip is just right for me.

Usually go for Glock or Taurus, but decide to try one of these. Machine work and fitting are great.

I have the TP9 SFL

Works great,, finish is pretty worn from carrying it often. I put a trigger spring kit and a flat face trigger (3d printed) and really like it for shooting rabbits. Mine likes 122 grain Acme bullets and 90grain XTPs.
Had one fail to feed early on,,,,,i didn’t have the magazine seated all the way, totally my fault.

The trigger on this one smokes my Glocks and Rugers...

The triggers are very good right out of the box

I just wanted a lighter one, and the 3D printed one has a built in over travel stop. Short, short reset too (for those that use the reset).

Walther, Canik, Taurus & Ruger (in that order)

are available in the LGS I frequent here in SW FL just below Venice. I help out when shipments arrive and those 4 makes are the most received and sold.

Back in March I bought a Canik Elite Combat, great trigger and lots of extras...impressive.

Haven't heard anyone complain about Canik. I'm sure
