david8613 69 Posted March 10, 2019 I'm still gun shopping and I am pretty much settled on hk vp9 and cz p10 but ran across this CANIK TP9SFX, looks like a good gun, any opinions on this? https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/canik-tp9sfx-9mm-luger-semiautomatic-pistol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted March 11, 2019 Good gun, Turkish... so you have to be okay with that. Good entry level gun for gun games. Played with it but don't recall intimately what I thought of it as far as trigger, build quality etc. Nothing bad from what I remember though. If you want a long slide, this is it. With smaller companies you do have to be prepared for relatively lack of replacement parts, customer service, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papulski 12 Posted March 11, 2019 If your looking for a long slide option HK came out with a long slide conversion kit for the VP9 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Bullseye 3 Posted March 11, 2019 Have a VP9 for a few years now and has been great so far. Been wondering if they will ever make a long slide version. Well picked up one of the long slide kits for it the other day, very accurate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 150 Posted March 11, 2019 Isn’t the VP9 nearly double the price of a TP9? If price is no factor get the VP9 or even a Walther Q5...if budget is important get the TP9 (magazines are cheaper too) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack 17 Posted March 11, 2019 I bought one last year, it's a great gun IMHO. The trigger out of the box is around a 3-4 pound pull with an unbelievably short reset. The single issue that I had was it's really manufactured as a NATO gun with a heavy slide spring that required full power ammo to cycle properly. I emailed their support, got a response the next day and they sent out a softer spring. No charge. I have several thousand rounds through it now and use it for steel matches, it runs flawlessly.

Bumping this back up. How is recoil? I know it's a very subjective thing, but I've been looking for a 9mm for my family members to use for friendly matches and they HATE the recoil on my Glock G17. Is the Canik any softer or is it in the came ballpark as Glock adn the rest of the polymer 9mm crowd? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack 17 Posted April 9, 2019 Not really. It's a light polymer gun just like the Glock. After the break in you could try some ammo with a lower muzzle velocity, that would ease the recoil a bit. You'd probably do better with a heaver full metal gun if recoil is an issue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
