Canik 55 TP-9 9mm Semi Auto Pistol

[wm]

Anyone with first hand experience with one of these? Lots of positive reviews by bloggers but I don't know which of those are trustworthy. Some of those guys have never met a T&E gun they didn't like

Wow. Interesting, finally a pistol I had to do a google search on since I hadn't heard of it.

So saying, I've no personal esperience. But it's a Turk gun and they've done some darn fine and highly underrated work in the firearms biz.

If you can get it cheap, I'd snatch it up. Be a good truck/cabin/camp/cache gun.

Looks like a HiPoint.
So buy a HiPoint for less

They're decently made. A guy I know picked one up and I ran about 200 through it.

It's not a Glock or a Sig, but would do well for a spare home defense gun, plinker, truck gun etc.

Huh? I thought it looks like a Walther 99 or Springfield Armory XDS. And quality wise it meets ISO 9000 testing standards.

I just worry about parts availability. Of course I hesitated when I had a chance to buy a HS 2000 out of Croatia even though I thought it was a better pistol then Glock Gen 1. But 2 years later Springfield Armory took the HS2000 and reintroduced it as the XD.......at twice the price.

Canik is offering the Stingray which is a CZ-75 inspired gun and I've always liked that design. It might be time for me to move into the polymer/hi cap community. There was a long time I never thought that day would come

So, you going to buy it? Pictures, please.

And for previous posters, it's a close copy of the Walther P99

Mostly kidding with you.

I think next month....lots of irons in the fire right now.....I'll get either the the cz-75 esque pistol or the p-99 esque pistol from Canick. Everything I read about the p99 esque pistol is positive and the 18 round capacity and the extra equipment in the kit that comes with it makes it a more likely purchase but I do love the CZ-75 design.

But yeah, I think the TP9 is the way I will go........and I will furnish a full report upon arrival, through break in, and then where it goes from there.

Here's a review for you--

Thanks for the review.......I'm still not sure if the Canik TP9 is for me or not......I keep thinking one of the CZ-75 copies might be better.

Or if I am real carful with my pennies maybe I'll get both. {Insert evil grin here}

I have a Walther P99, and I love it. The only part I had any trouble with was learning to not fire a double tap without intent. The short, and I do mean short, reset movement of the trigger lends itself to accidentally firing a second shot. I just spent some time with the gun and that problem cleared itself up.

GLOCK... :)

Also look for web reviews under the title of Tristar T100, the same gun under a different title. The vast majority of reviews seem to be positive.
