[ARCHIVED THREAD] - bought my son a Canik TP9 SF, now I want one!

Posted: 2/10/2017 4:49:54 PM EDT

found a great deal on a Canik TP9SF with case and three mags, holster..... I stopped on the way home and put a few mags through it. Now I want one! what a great shooting gun for the price! local gunshow here tomorrow, maybe I'll find one as cheap as I got this one.

Yep. I liked my first one so much I bought a second one a week later. Both have been fantastic and eat every type of ammo I've put through them.
AIM Surplus and Sportsman's Guide both carry additional magazines for this pistol if you're looking to purchase more.

Only potential issue is with the included holster, a firm yank can release the pistol.
The solution would be to buy this model from Blackhawk! (If you're looking for a replacement Serpa holster).

Same here. Can't go wrong with 18 round mags. David

Here's a thread you and your son may find useful, OP.

I ended up getting a TP9SA model ( same tan) BNIB for $275 OTD... so my model has the decocker, and my son's does not, they both have the same sights, looks like S&W front Glock rear. my son's gun is marked TP9SF on the slide and it also has on the left side just in front of the takedown lever a "V2" mark. the trigger on mine feels a bit better than on his, which is really nice anyway. the front dot looks a bit smaller on the SA model.
my SA is on the top, and on the left

Great price!
Did you score that at a shop or the Gunshow?
I have been eyeballing these for sometime ,I may have to bite the bullet.

the SA I just got was at the gunshow... the FS was FTF local. I saw several for around $349-$359...

There are also other subtle differences in the SF and SA as well. The SF has a more squared profile to the slide, a different barrel construction, longer rear sight, you can see the striker cover rear plates are different (one has serrations), and the long serration on the slide top.

Posting to show some love for these things. My first one fell into my lap haphazardly, a buddy of mine who was scrounging up money to buy a Glock off me traded me a brand new tp9sf (well, 126 rounds through it, 2 mags of which I shot) for $200 trade value. Probably have pushing 1000 rounds through that one now. Picked up a FDE one last month. These things are beasts. Ergonomics, trigger, reliability, all as good as it gets. The fact that they're so cheap is the kicker. Only downside (which can be a show stopper for some) is lack of after market support. Highly recommend!!

I have an fde SA, and it is awesome to shoot. Incredibly good trigger, and outstanding ergonomics. It and my full size American 9mm are my favorite to shoot. I wish I could find an SF elite. They sell out fast here.
