smart, that decocker was the dumbest thing they could've done on that pistol. Made no sense since there was no DA capability of the firing mechanism...

View Quote From a couple of the videos that I've seen, it's being sold as an aid to disassembly since you don't need to pull the trigger (with the potential consequences of that) but can just use the decocker... Whether that's really helpful (increasing safety) or not is another story. I just pull the trigger to decock the TP9SA (like a Glock), after making sure that the chamber is unloaded, of course ![]() My point is only that it (the decocker) can be 'sold' as a safety feature, comparing the TP9SA to a Glock (for example).

No, as Yankee Marshall said, they were too lazy to redesign the slide. It is not, nor will it ever be, a Glock. And if someone is dumb enough to strip a gun without a chamber check, they might deserve to lose a finger.

For those smart enough :) this is an answer to Yankees gripe... at least the best I could come up with. I think it is an extremely solid solution though, I don't see any part of this failing without breaking the slide.

I also saw a video that someone stated the Turkish PD carries with an empty chamber and wanted a way to decock the weapon to condition 3. Probably internet speculation but who knows. I wouldn't think laziness to redesign the slide would be it since the cost of machining and the extra part and springs add to the company cost. The decocker doesn't bother me and I don't think it is something you could bump anyway. I've never heard anyone complaining of all those SW99's in police use in the 90's decocking to the heavy trigger pull inadvertently. Either way anytime you get a click and go bang you should immediately tap rack anyway. David

The point is, anyone using the TP9SA as a carry piece hasn't thought very carefully about their defensive strategy.

I don't see any great difference in trigger pull poundage between in the TP9SA, P320, VP9, PPQ or a Glock with a 3.5 connector. From what I have read most also disourage the safety option on the M&P. I guess some just don't care for the Turkish firearm, that's fine. I just ordered a tan one
![]() OP thanks for posting the pictures. I pulled the slide apart this morning an cleaned out the striker channel. I just finished 1000 rounds of green ammo and it made the pistol quite dirty with fouling. |

I run a V4 connector and an NY1 trigger spring in my G17 and as far as Turkish stuff goes...I love my Serbian Sig Clone so I can't say that I am biased against Century Arms imports either. I just think the gun would've been better if it had a DA mode as well as the SA. |

I just think the gun would've been better if it had a DA mode as well as the SA. I think the SA is just a gimmick to advertise the trigger pull. Now they are making a Gen 2 TP9 with the TP9SA frame/slide. The main difference is that it will be DA/SA like the original TP9. So the decocker would take it from SA mode to a longer DA trigger pull. |

Yankee Marshall is as bright as my 20 year old torch (torch has lost it's shine), first off, they had to redesign the slide to accommodate the longer barrel, so saying Canik was too lazy to redesign the slide to remove the decocker is utter schit. There is logic to Canik's "madness", Turkish police are required to carry their duty pistols in Condition 3. Once the pistol is fired, they must holster their pistol back in condition 3, a decocker allows them to do this safely without discarding a live round. Having read Yankee Marshall's comments, it's becoming obvious that he has an issue with Turkey the country, but too much of a ladies genitals to say it out right in a video.

He mentions in the comments section more than once he has a problem with supporting a "terrorist country" (I'm paraphrasing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2TJh--Oztk If he has a problem with Turkey supposedly being a terrorist country and supporting it by buying a Canik (or any Turkish gun), he could have saved us all of the trouble of his whiny "review" of the TP9SA and just made a video about that. Is the TP9SF actually coming out in Q3 this year? |

FWIW, I read scuttlebutt that Canik was competing for a contract for a pistol that required a decocker, then the specs changed and they had a bunch of slides with that functionality... So here we are with em! ![]() Quoted:

I just got a Canik TP9SA yesterday. I have been thinking on a way to disable / remove the decocker. After reading this thread, I decided to try it out. I cut an allen wrench that I had about 100 of the same size. I cut it perfect the first time. There is absolutely NO movement in my decocker. I LOVE this gun. I went into my local gun shop just to kill time and shoot the bull, they had a G43 come in while I was there, so I bought it and while I was waiting for them to get it into their books so they could sell it, I spotted the Canik. For $300 OTD I figured why not. I plan on getting some range time with it and the 43 Monday. Cant wait.

My biggest worry was if someone ever tried to break into my moms house late at night my mouse cord could wrap around my gun and trip the de-cocker. Her basement is pretty secure, only one way in or out, but still a guy has to plan for Murphey...
I tried using the methods listed above but in the event of a sharknado the salt water could cause the nail to corrode into nothing. Then the de-cocker could be active again and I would never know until it was too late. In the end I just bought a cordless mouse and had a custom holster built into my computer chair. Now it never leaves my side... ![]() |
