So much impressed with the trigger I bought a second one. ( first was in Bronze)
The Walther P99 system incorporated in the DA is awesome. Did I mention the reset is phenomenal? Well, it is. 
Question, what experience do you gents have with the other models, compared to the DA. Looking to add more TP9 series to the collection, but so impressed with the DA model that I’m hesitant to “experiment “  Attached File |

I have the TP9SFX
It's really an impressive gun for the money. I was ringing a 8" steel square at 75 yards offhand pretty easily last weekend with mine. Comes with additional back straps, front sight fibers, mag release buttons, and a holster. Maybe other stuff? Can't remember. Great value |

If the Elite had the DA length slide it'd be a G19 killer. Not sure why they went longer with it.

The DA barrel length is 4.07" and the Elite is 4.19" if I'm not mistaken... I don't think a hair over 1/10th of an inch factors into much of a deal breaker for most shooters.
I believe there never will be a "killer" for the Glock 19... just a lot of excellent competition now that equals it. The shear numbers of 19's out there, coupled with the "kool-aid" drinking fanaticism of it's followers will keep it at the top. What I find funny about the most devout 19 supporters is the amount of money they spend "accessorizing" one as soon as they buy it.... to where it often doesn't even resemble the original gun. If "perfection" involves all that, I'll pass. The 19 is a great gun in it's own right, so maybe I just don't get it. The aftermarket isn't there to support turning a CANIK into a Barbie doll, but I will say that most CANIK buyers don't seem to desire to change it much, no matter which flavor they pick. |

Thanks for the reply’s gents.
I own many pistols to compare with. I. E. G19x, VP9, P320 et al. My question still stands. How do the other models ( Canik) stack up to the DA version. Price point is already awesome. Mags made by Mec-Gar, sights by Warren Tactical. Etc. Just looking for comparisons of this model to consider say maybe an SF Right now for me it’s all about the trigger.

Having owned a Wather 99 DA in the past, I would say you're looking at apples & oranges when compared to an SF model. Canik has really came to this game in the US with their ducks in a row, offering quite the variety. With that said, the SF trigger system is the only one's I have interest in. |

Maybe that’s why Canik owners don’t have the desire to change anything. I don’t think your premise is correct... |

The Canik is longer and uses 18rd mags I've got the TP9SF (?) and it has 15 round mags. It takes the 18 rounders that my buddy has for his Canik, but these are 15. So it would take Walther mags? |

I see many people say "...for the money", like it doesn't compare to the higher priced options. I own or have owned almost all of the polymer-framed, striker-fired 9mm's and the Canik TP9SF that I own is right up there with the best of them. It probably has the 2nd best trigger out there. Why can't people just state that the Canik is a great pistol? "For the money" is viewed by most as a back handed disqualifier. |

I had a Canik tp9sf. It was a real quality made gun. It just wasn't the gun for me...
I am seriously considering picking up the Canik DA. I like the ability to decock the striker. I carry a Walther p99c |

For someone that carries a P99 the DA is ideal because the trigger system works exactly the same way. I sort of have a DA on my "to get" list, but I am basically not buying guns that can't mount optics anymore and the decocker on the DA precludes it getting cut for a red dot. I might get one anyway, I'm just not sure why.

I carry the TP9SA. I got no complaints. My wife liked it enough she wanted on too. The triggers are incredible. Certainly the best 9mm out there for the money.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By recon: Got me the TP9SF model. Just need more mags! Good luck with getting more mags. I sold off my Caniks because there haven't been any mags available for close to a year. Only having two mags for each pistol is something I just couldn't accept. It killed me to get rid of them because I think Canik makes really sweet pistols. |

Should have bought more Caniks and increased your mag collection that way.
I'm up to 4. A Combat Elite, an Executive, an full size, and a Mete. the full size mags work in all of them, and it was used with 5 mags, so I have plenty of mags for all of them at this point. |

I wish they would make the DA in an elite frame, I want the shorter grip length.
As for mags, I just bought 3 mags for my elite combat, they where 32 bucks iirc and they had both 18 and 15 rounders. gunmagwarehouse.com edit they are now out of stock at gunmagwarehouse |

Wrong best Canik is the Mete series. I have the SFT and it’s great. Sold the Glock 19x for it. Not sure what you would upgrade it comes with everything you need. Great trigger, ambi slide release, optics ready slide cut.Also comes with a Canik flared magwell extension if you want to install it. I purchased extra 10 round mags and just drilled out the mag indentation to make it an 18 rounds works great. There is no difference in the two mags other then the 10 rounder having a indent to stop loading for rounds.

I got the DA and a tricked out SFX, both are excellent. I own a few Glocks but none in 9mm, My Caniks ans a few others I own have that covered.

Im looking for something bigger than my Shield Plus (I know, not hard to do!) but worry the METE SFT is *too* big to conceal. Same issue with the TP9DA, though I did just see someone that cut the grip down to match the SF Elite grip height. |

Best Canik is the Combat Executive or elite. Not even close. I own most of them and many of the Walthers as well.
