Until the Gen4 Glocks and the ability to add a beaver tail backstrap, Glocks would consistently give me slide bite. This was not a matter of preference, but rather one of fit. We all have guns that we like to shoot because we just seem to click with them. The difference between a gun we love versus one we can stand to shoot is in the small details. In an effort to demonstrate these differences, I have tried to analyze the contrast between the Canik Tp9SF, Walther PPQ M2 and Glock 19 (see chart below). These are not pros and cons, just facts.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-30-at-4.49.04-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"9mm-turkish-delight-compact-canik-tp9-sf-elite-full-review\" title=\"A 9mm Turkish Delight?

It was cold and overcast, and the weather took a toll on my hands as I repeatedly loaded the two 15-round magazines. This would have been enough to cause me to pack it in and check the weather for a better day in most instances. Yet, I just kept shooting\u2026 not to gut it out, but because it was so much fun. I only regret that I waited until the end of my session to test accuracy, as I feel I could have provided some better data.<\/p>\n<p>I started out by shooting an 8.5-inch plate at 50 yards. This was shot cold; just pull the gun out of the box, load the magazine and let it rip. The plate was punished by 11 of the 15 rounds. The Warren Tactical sights worked great, although I think I could have done better if I had put some sight-black on the front sight over the red fiber optic dot.<\/p>\n<p>This gun was remarkable to shoot in every way. The trigger felt even smoother shooting than it did dry-firing. It felt more like a 3-pound trigger than its actual 5-pound pull. This trigger has a longer stroke than that of most other pistols, so it spreads the load out and it is perceived differently. In fact, I was questioning whether a trigger so light was safe for a carry gun for a minute there, but it clearly is.<\/p>\n<p>The recoil normally kicked out by a polymer service pistol was simply not there; this felt more like shooting the all-steel Sig P226 ST that Ernie Langdon built for me! The gun was flat-recoiling and fast to shoot. I swear, it has been a long time since I last shot a striker-fired pistol this small that was so soft-shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The accuracy was more than acceptable, with a 1.38\u201d group at 10 yards from 5 rounds fired off-hand. I do not think that is nearly pushing the maximum accuracy potential of this pistol. Canik has touted the durability and accuracy of the TP9 SF Elite\u2019s barrel, and I can see why after test-firing it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I have always been fascinated by the pursuit of pin-pointing the reasons that something works well, and I think I know why the TP9 SF Elite is such a pleasure to shoot. The dimensions of the gun are a huge factor here; the grip is narrow, but widens at the point it meets the web of the hand. This makes for a comfortable but sure procurement and grip.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72097\" style=\"width: 2882px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Canik-2-of-22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"9mm-turkish-delight-compact-canik-tp9-sf-elite-full-review\" title=\"A 9mm Turkish Delight?

The weight and its distribution, along with the ergonomics of the grip, make for a shooting experience that you owe it to yourself to try, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of this (correctly distributed) weight is twofold. If you are going to carry it all day, the added weight may not be worth the tradeoff to you. Secondly, although I did not have any issues with malfunctions using factory ammunition, I believe that shooting mouse fart loads will make the reliability problematic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72105\" style=\"width: 3718px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Canik-18-of-22.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"9mm-turkish-delight-compact-canik-tp9-sf-elite-full-review\" title=\"A 9mm Turkish Delight?

I would call your attention to a gun called the HS2000. Made in Croatia, it began to be sold in America in 1999. The HS2000 was adopted by the Croatian military and law enforcement as a standard-issue sidearm. In 2002, Springfield Armory negotiated licensing rights to the US market, and changed the name to the XD-9.<\/p>\n<p>Wow. Take the TP9 and change the name of the American company to Century Arms. Will history repeat itself? I think it could, and should, for this fine gun.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canikusa.com\/tp9sf-elite\/\" campaign=\"CanikTP9SFElite\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">https:\/\/www.canikusa.com\/tp9sf-elite\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase a TP9 on GunsAmerica.com, click this link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=Canik%20TP9\" campaign=\"CanikTP9onGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=Canik%20TP9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I examined this new Canik, I was thinking \u201cIs this gun really the giant-killer that people who are much more tactical and cool than me are calling it?\u201d Well, I set out to determine that for myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":72115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,694,859,324,860],"tags":[187,525,132,811,527,127,329,102,108,499,621,640,746],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72095","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-gun-reviews","9":"category-gun-reviews-handguns","10":"category-jon-hodoway","11":"category-semi-autos","12":"tag-9mm","13":"tag-aguila-ammunition","14":"tag-buzz","15":"tag-canik","16":"tag-century-arms","17":"tag-concealed-carry","18":"tag-edc","19":"tag-feature-articles","20":"tag-guns","21":"tag-hornady","22":"tag-pistol","23":"tag-self-defense","24":"tag-winchester-ammunition"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A 9mm Turkish Delight?
