- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Feature packed and under $600 the Canik SFX is a pistol that really brings a ton to the table considering what you pay for. If you want an amazing pistol on a budget this is a great place to start.

I've had my TP9SFx for over a month now with over 500 rounds through it. The last 200 or so being +P's with no failures. This pistol is exceptional and I love it!! I have big hands and handled all the varieties of pistols the gun shop had before selecting this one. I can't wait to start competition with it. The price was under $400.
Whats grain and case?
Seems to corroborate the other comment saying you need to shoot the first 300 rounds with 125gr nato spec ammo to break in the recoil spring, i’m guessing you didn’t use 125gr ammo when it malfunctioned during those first 300 rounds?
My local gun shop had 4 of these with a red dot for 649. I own tp9sf and the tp9sf elite, no failures at all out of either one. I have recommended these guns to everyone I know. You cant beat them for the price, and they do have the best out of the box polymer triger on the market, no doubt!!!!!! Outlaw, keep doing what you do for the gun community. Im still jealous that you own a cz shadow 2, im saving to get one, but not these yet!!!!
From my research and ownership of this pistol, it is suggested to use 147 during break in. I have yet to have an issue with mine. Great video and love the honest opinion that you have of all firearms that you review.
I saw 124 on another post. Anyhow, I learned the hard way!! She runs like a CHAMP NOW!!
Elite SC
Just purchased my first Canik SFX today. Actually my first 9mm, I'm a 45 ACP guy. This gun is amazing. First 100 rounds with no issues. Would've shot more but limited ammo for 9mm so only could get 2 boxes. This 9mm is worth every penny!!!!
no wonder why it's called 'glock killer " BEST GUN" I ever owned.. i have all the series. it's just getting better and better.
What ammo runs good in this pistol, I'm debating getting it but have heard some say that it doesnt run good with all ammo
@@brantingram I’ve never had a problem with my SFX on ammo. My TP9SF doesn’t like Blazer Brass 115gr, will occasionally have a failure to feed. So all 124gr hotter ammo works, and I’ve never had a problem with any jhps even 115gr, as they all tend to be hotter than the light target ammo. I’ve read that you can just get a lighter spring, but I just don’t run the light stuff in my SF. My SFX handles it all just fine.
I love the my canik be nice if they came with a external safety. My compact elite was going to be my conceal but with no external safety make me worry it might discharge while conceal. Still best bang for my bucks gun tho.
@@kevinh3634 just forward this request to canik , they listen people and improve the gun
I bought this gun recently and have shot 150 rounds through it so far, mostly 147gr, with some 124gr. I truly loved it. I bought mine for $500, with case, 2 mags, multiple rear sight mounts for opticals, cleaning kits, and the hardware to interchange things. I prefer the longer barrels for accuracy. Couldn't tell the difference in recoil between the 124gr and 147gr. Trigger was smooth and easy to use. Accurate from 10-25 yd targeting I did at an indoor range. Though I was slightly less accurate at 25 yds because I wasn't wearing my glasses, lol. I did have one jam within my first 100 but not worried about that, since I'm still breaking in the gun.
I love how you shout out to the homeless shelter in Ames, Ia. I live in Nevada, Ia and had been homeless years ago, glad you help support good organizations that help those who are homeless. I found one in Des Moines and they were a great benefit to me being where I am today!
Anyway, I plan to go shooting with my sons tomorrow and will be shooting a lot more rounds through it again. I'm not a gun pro, but I know guns and done lots of hunting and shooting over my years.
Like your videos and input on weapons. I use them regularly to decide on my next choice in arms purchase.
Just picked one up myself. Great addition to everyones gun collection.
I picked one of these up just before the apocalypse. I had the same issue about two or three ejection issues in the first hundred rounds and perfect ever since. Great gun for the price
Same here. After about 150 rds it's been perfect. I absolutely love this pistol.
@Frank Bonazza III Fiocchi 124.
I prefer federal 115 now. However, I bought a 1000 9mm bulk of that Fiocchi before the "crisis". And having a hard time finding much in shelves let alone Bud's Guns or cheaper than dirt.
Tried a canik at a gun range had feeding issues then pop no kick jamb wonder if it was gun or ammo? But put me off brand.
@@jjw5165 I've heard some people having issues and some running great. Product quality check could be inconsistent? Glad I got a good one.
Great review like always. No BS on how perfect the gun it just keeping it real. Thanks for the content. 6:17
This is my favorite pistol! You actually convinced me to buy it. Zero malfunctions through my first 300 rounds. Extremely accurate, affordable. I edc this gun. The holster it comes with is perfect for owb, but under coat concealment
Caniks are awesome. I have the canik combat elite executive. 4000 rounds and 0 failures. The trigger on that gun is the best trigger straight out of the box i have ever used.
Just bought one today, can't wait to take it out to the range!
My TP9SF has over 2000 rounds through it with zero failures. Oh, and it cost $250. You can’t go wrong with Canik.
mine too
I have an early tp9sa that I’ve had since I was 21. The thing will never fail. Ever
250? Was it used?
I’ve had failures with Glocks. Not many and few and far between but it happened. I think when you buy a good gun it’s probably more ammo related than anything.
@@davidlawson2043 no that's how much they are lol I'm in Michigan and picked mine up a couple months ago for $300 out the door
I bought a Canik and ordered spare mags straight from the company. Got the mags in less than a week. Couldn't be happier. I got the Elite SC.
Can't find mags in stock anywhere 😢 just purchased the tp9 sf elite and would like the extended mag
This is the first video I have EVER seen that plugs a charity, good on you my man. I wish that my future purchase of this gun based on your review gave money to you.
Nils Jonasson is a pro shooter for Canik, he’s a local to my area of Phoenix AZ. It’s amazing to watch him show up and shoot production with that setup and beat guys running $7000 Atlas open guns...
Nils is a machine. I watch him & after my pick up my jaw from the ground, I'm amazed.
End up getting tp9da
It's like baseball players buying a 1000 dollar bat. It's only going to operate as well as the person using it lol. You can only have a gun that's so accurate and functional.
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 the trigger on this gun is so amazing, I can let anybody at the range shoot this gun and they immediately shoot better than with the gun the were shooting.
Exactly why I will never spend that much money on a 9mm.
6:18 he totally dropped it 😂
Lol
I noticed too lmao
Lmao
Man. Talking up the only two handguns I own in the past two days here. Loving it 🙌🏼
Although short lived, Palmetto State had this gun for sale at $400 “Daily Deals special “ before the panic buying. I’ve bought a lot of used guns in my life that I thought were the deal of a lifetime. After extensively shooting this gun I’m now convinced that buying it used at a local pawn shop for $360 + tax like NIB set a new standard for my best gun purchase ever. I suspect that there will be a new price range for this particular model when the buying frenzy slows and they become available again. Knowing what I know now I would gladly pay $550-600 for it should I ever need to replace it! My son has one and he’s put an aftermarket mag well, freedomsmith trigger (which actually increased trigger pull weight), the lighter trigger spring kit, so now it has a lighter pull again plus the reduced travel and superior reset, which was hard to improve on! My biggest takeaway from all the mods he did was how inexpensive the upgrades were with the trigger being the most at around $70. Mag well $40. Spring kit $18. New extended mags around $60 for 2. Race gun totally competition ready for less than $700.
I run a trijicon RMR type 2 on my sfx. It's my go to gun absolutely love it
I absolutely love mine. I also have the Canik TP9 Elite Combat Executive. For the money I think they're some of the best pistols on the market.
Does the executive have the same trigger as sfx? Meaning clean with short reset?
I just bought one for 375 and I can’t wait to hit the range with it this weekend. Best purchase I’ve made since getting my M&P Shield compact
I changed out my recoil spring and have had zero issues.
May I ask where you got recoil spring as I’d like to get for my q5 match polymer.
@@Speed-shooter
Here ... Put this in my tp9sfx, fires everything i feed it
www.sprinco.com/recoil.html
I just ordered one of these not 10 minutes ago. Blackout edition. I don't think that's a thing it's just solid black. At any rate....... 499.99 brand new as of the beginning of November 2023 given everything that you're getting..... That's a pretty damn good price. A pair of 20 round magazines and all the other accessories in the case. Beautifully designed firearm optic ready. Can't go wrong. The last one I had by this company or manufactured by this company rather was the burnt bromze tp9da and that was a damn fine piece of hardware. I look forward to this one.
Great video. Thank you. Stay safe, keep carrying and God bless
Excellent review!
In the box you'll find that Canik offers you a pin that helps you push out the backstrap roll pin. That's what I made use of when I changed my backstrap. There is no need to use a punch.
The TP9 SFx is an amazing pistol!
Thanks for sharing.
It’s so crazy that I just looked up and subscribed to you for your review of the tp9sf a few hours back. I’m in the market for a handgun cheap as I’m broke from the virus and never had a handgun before but I need one for my armed security job coming up and to practice for the police academy. And here I see you reviewing another canik. My choices were between the tp9sf one series for $300, an s&w sd9ve, or a used gen 3 glock 17 I saw for around the same price range. I guess it’s a sign I’m going with the Canik
vegeta420z will do I appreciate the heads up I’m still looking and comparing
you will not be disappointed with the tp9 series, just hold one and you may be hooked, thats what happened to me.
Dredd I had very minimal experience with handguns only shooting a few s&w’s and glocks at the range the other day and when I held the tp9 earlier today I knew I wanted it. It really feels like a great deal
@@ronaldraygun6304
Try a CZ P-10C or the full sized P-10F as well.
@@ronaldraygun6304 duuude, same for me. I had a beretta 92sf and own a xd40c, but when I went to academy and held the tp9sf, I knew it was for me and got it, not disappointed. to each their own.
I had a couple stove pipes. Put the sprinco spring kit in it and haven't had any issues since. Freedomsmith makes great triggers for canik. Have one in my sfx and sc elite
Send the links to those companies
I just picked up the TP9SF Elite Combat and I'm on my way to the range. Great review and no kidding about the amazing trigger.
Local gun shop clerk recommended this. Liked the feel and bought it without checking reviews or anything. Glad it turned out to be such a well liked gun. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Even more glad the sales guy seems trustworthy and not just trying to sell you whatever.
Totally agree. Easily the best $600 pistol I've ever shot.
Seen them at $500 now. That makes it even sweeter.
I like your reviews on guns that many claim are of lesser quality n good for the poor.. Keep it up man very fair honest reviews
Picking mine up this afternoon. It comes equipped with a Vortex Viper red dot optic. Can't wait!
I own several Canik handguns and find them to be excellent quality, reliable, accurate, functional, versatile, and lets admit, good looking. The triggers on my Caniks are awesome and they come with great sights. The idea that you need to spend 2000 dollars to get a quality firearm is absurd. I think, with a lot of firearms, you pay for a name just as you do with clothes brand, cologne, etc. Lose that line of thinking and you can get a great gun, have money to add upgrades like red dots and buy more firearms. Have never had any reliability issues with any of mine and love the triggers Canik puts on their firearms.
Bought mine yesterday for $429. Have not shot it yet, but lordy does it feel nice in the hand, and the trigger is awesome! Hitting the range this weekend and am really looking forward to it.
I would honestly have to say, it is one of the better 9mm I've used. I found no flaws, everything about it fell in place from trigger squeeze, firing, accuracy and recoil. I've put about 500 to 600 hundred rounds through it and had no problems.
This is a beautiful pistol, so far I have not had any failures and I have fired so far 36 rounds and it just fire great
Damn optic cost more than the gun
LOL. Think of it like putting Lambo rims on a 1995 Honda Civic.
There's a Holosun model with an RMR footprint. Not as expensive but not as durable from the tests Sage Dynamics performed.
Put the Vortex Venom $200, on all mine. No issues, easy to zero, worth the $$.
@Frank Bonazza III I got that same package (at same price too). However I hated the Viper cause of the fact that you have to remove the optic to replace the battery. I ended up changing to a Vortex Venom.
Bruh should I get this or a 1911
I get paid today and next door to my work sight theres a Action Pawn selling a Canik for $234.99 and knew nothing about it watching this im definitely buying it after work today
I own this same pistol, however mine is 3 years old. Came heavy sprung from the factory resulting in poor ejection and multiple failures to feed. The gun shot 6 inches low at 25 yards as well. Initially, I was not impressed. A call to century explaining the heavy spring issue, and they send me a new spring kit. I also installed a CZ reduced power firing pin block spring and all previous issues are now in the past. A little researching about sight replacement and I found the Glock rear adjustable sight and .285 to .300T fiber optic front sight, both from Dawson Precision, solved the shooting low issues.
Just bought mine and definitely best bang for your buck.
Install a Freedomsmith Fat Daddy trigger and a lightweight FP block spring and you will have negligible take up, 0.1” reset, 2 lb crisp break. My favorite gun to shoot steel fast.
Love mine!, came with the Viper red dot, holster, 3 mags. I've added freedomsmith trigger, the original was great, but the freedomsmith just shorten ups the reset, I like it more then my PPQ SC. Added the Taylor freelance magwell and aluminum back strap, plus +3 mag extensions, and a olight baldr mini light. My favorite pistol ever.
Just received my Canik METE SFX Pro. The Mecanik MO1 Red Dot should be here tomorrow. Would love to see a review it. Love your videos.
The accuracy is wild my dude.
Canik should have milled a ultra thin sight cut behind the optic cut as there is definitely enough metal behind the plate for a thin sight,
If you look it comes up at an angle and looks thin but just under about 1mm down it thinkens up so if they removed around 1mm and milled a rear iron sight cut it would solve the problems of having a smaller optic,
And if you look at the rear of the slide they have removed metal from the area on the rear of the spot they should mill a sight so there would be even more material to work with if that styling was changed a bit, but even without changing that there is enough space and metal for a rear iron sight to be milled.
I bought my TP9SFx for $300 lightly used. Best stock striker fired trigger period.
I bought one for my 11yr old daughter cause she is wanting to get into competition shooting and I fell in love with it the first day we went out and shot it so much that I went back and bought me one that same day after we got done shooting hers for the first time.. It's extremely smooth,accurate and really well balanced which helps with the accuracy and smoothness and my daughter hasn't had any problem shooting it at all especially since it was her first time shooting a 9mm. Or a full size pistol at that!! Definitely well worth the price in my opinion
Canik SFX,Canik Elite SC and Extar EP9.Great reviews. 🇺🇲
Not sure what I paid for mine but I did get the grey/black TP9sfx with Vortex RDS from the factory for just under $600.00
I put a Wolf 7# Glock striker spring and Wolf reduced power Glock striker safety spring in mine. Dropped the trigger pull weight to 3# 9oz and seems to be getting lighter and smoother the more I shoot it. I put another 300 rounds through it yesterday and I find myself shooting more at 15 and 25 yards with this gun. Any closer and their is no challenge to make consistent center mass hits.
I have the Elite SC version and love it for concealed carry. Whenever i go to buy an SF (if you can find one) or an SFX at a gun store, they have them marked up WAYYY higher than MSRP. Gun store owners know what they have. If you can find any Canik handgun at MSRP, or close to MSRP, GET IT.
*UPDATE*
So far no stovepipe with my SC. I went to a local gun store to verify their FFL before buying a new SFX online for $549. They had a NEW SFX on sale for $499. Bought it right away. LUCK. I do plan on buying a Sprinco spring kit for it to balance the springs and have a Vortex Viper red dot already for it. Next will be a magwell. I like the full setup. The trigger is great on it already, so not sure if i'll bother switching it out.
So i have the SC for daily carry and an SFX for competition training as a beginner. The gun so nice, i bought it twice.
Money or value aside..... would people buy this Canik over a HK VP9?
@@wmubroncos93 i have the SFX now too. Put a lot of money into it already (springs, trigger, etc) but it's amazing. Would love to get into competition with it.
picked mine up today.. 579. Range day is tomorrow.. cant wait.
Try the Taylor Freelance brass blackstrap and magazine well. The added weight give the gun better balance in the hand.
Liked and subscribed.
Growing up I just shot whatever gun my dad handed me. At 38 years old I’m just now getting fascinated with these weapons.
Just bought a TP9SFX bc of all the great reviews and I really appreciate you really going through basically everything.
Bless you for helping the children Honest Outlaw!! You got my subscription.
To the East to the West CANİK is the best
Watch this vid last night and went go buy it today I enjoyed the gun just ordered me a red dot it my first new gun
8:32 80 degrees one day, 40 the next. We have that problem here in Texas too lmao
My everyday carry is a 9mm smith&Wesson sheild ez ,it has a recall so I needed a back up gun ,took a chance with this ,shooting for the first time tomorrow
Just got my canik tp9 sfx today 5-14-2022 haven't shot it yet but will next weekend
11:39. Removing the backstrap pin is a bear. You haven't tried changing out the magazine release for a left handed shooter. Now THAT is a bear. Still Canik's are awesome and for the price, you can't beat it. BTW, if you read this, why don't you ever review Springfield Armory XDM series? Those are true ambidextrous semi's. Keep up the great reviews.
I have this gun. Very accurate. Only thing I dislike about it is the miniscule slide rails.
@Honest Outlaw Nice review, I'll be testing one soon myself. Just an FYI...haha sorry I just notice these things = at the 5:39 minute mark, WTH is hanging from the pistol!!! LOL
Just got mine, can't wait to get to the range this weekend
You'd think with such a deep optic cut they would utilize that and make the plates thinner so you could co-witness from factory. Oh yeah, and let you keep the rear sight.
If they would've done that, I would have considered it. Would've been reaaallll hard to beat.
LoL homie just drops the pistol at 6:18 . Seriously though, this was a great review and I was looking at picking this up for range time, and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that (pun intended).
One of the best games I’ve ever owned smoother shooting transition why is it smooth overall I’ll get his gun at 10
My friend said I shoot shoot competitions with what I carry. Makes a lot of sense. However I shoot my p365 like ass at competitions so time for a new carry gun
Bought this gun today. Im gonna take it to the range next week and let see if I get those issue. 🤷🏻♂️
I tried the Canik next to my 5in PPQ M1. Liked the PPQ better but my buddy bought the Canik. He shoots it lights out. Used it to take first place in our local centerfire handgun Precision league and by a pretty large margin. Pre COVID he also used it for our local steel shoots and did really well. It's a hell of a bargain, that's for sure.
The TP9 SFX
Is one really one
Beautiful Pistol.
Just Saying and Amen.
Hello Mr. Honest
Outlaw. Do you conduct A Shooting School. ?
Your Shooting Skill
Is Awesome.
Hope to hear from you Sir. Have a Nice Day.
I have the same rmr lol I just picked up my Canik yesterday and already had the rmr on my G19
I very much enjoy his videos and his reviews and opinions. But on this gun a couple of his dislikes I myself felt opposite. I think the gun feels absolutely wonderful in my hands it could use a little more texture when my hands get sweaty. And as far as reliability I had not one issue. The first 500 rounds I switched back and forth between 115 and 124 with not one hiccup. And as far as accuracy I would put it up against some of my higher end competition 1911s. In my opinion which is just that my opinion u can't get much better for the money. But I very much enjoyed his review as always.
Most people do not know this but one Turkish Lira equals 0.05 USD. That is how Canik can sell their guns so inexpensively. If the exchange rate was closer to 1 to 1, it would cost more. So you are purchasing a really high quality pistol for a great price.
Just one today for work and I love the look
Remarkable value, and a superb review (as ever). 👍😎
most people aren't in competition this gun is a good carry gun and will probably beat higher competition guns
Thanks for the great review. Just purchased this gun
If I'm not mistaken Canik now has two manufacturing plants in the US. I could be mistaken but I recall reading that somewhere.
I thought I saw VT on the barrel
Yeah caniks are made for 124gr but after a break in period you can run 115 with no issues. Im up to 3 of them now and plan on getting the rest of the lineup
that was not failure canik also recomend to use 150 to 200 rounds for perfect tune in of this after 200 round this will never have any type of issue
I ended up buying one thanks to you, I have yet to go shoot it as a first time gun buyer but I am very excited.
you will not be disappointed
Dredd honestly very excited and very nervous cause while I’ve admired firearms my whole life in various media forms I’ve never fired one and the thrill is very new. I got my fiancé a Taurus g2c cause honest suggested it as a good entry gun and now I bought this and we’re both going for a concealed class soon and also a range visit to practice.
@@CarlosHerrera-wx7zf CC classes are a good start, but, they are very dependent on the quality of the instructor. Some instructors are there to do the barest minimum to get paid. Others care a LOT more. I'd encourage you to find out who will be teaching your class and start asking questions ahead of time. If you don't get good answers in a timely fashion, cancel and find another instructor. Also, please consider more instruction than just the CC class. Yes, it can be expensive, but, having more time with an experienced person who will help you develop safe handling habits and also prevent you from developing bad shooting habits which are VERY hard to unlearn. It is worth the money to prevent issues with bad habits.
Matt Emther My Instructor is an NRA USMC who owns a business down here, haven’t had time to schedule it yet but from what I’ve learned about their classes they are the best here. That said I don’t plan to only take the CCL class, I do want to find an instructor to teach her and me because I’m sure there’s a lot I don’t know but right now it’s pretty expensive and we’re just waiting till it’s financially ok to do so.
@@CarlosHerrera-wx7zf that's great to hear! Until you go to the class, watch some videos on how to practice by dry firing. The more you handle your guns (safely, obviously), the better off you will be. Also, learn how to do a basic field strip and clean on them.
Good so see everyone catching on to what I knew 4 years ago. Can't wait to see whats next for Canik.
This the variant I wish I purchased
I have one, and I haven't reached 500 shots yet. The problems I have: With reloaded ammunition, poor accuracy (I have SIG 320, Springfield XDM Elite, Sig 320 compact, Sig 365, Glock 19, Hellcat, all of these run with reloadable ammunition with good accuracy at least in my experience), and also From time to time, even with factory 124g ogival ammunition, this pistol likes to give a little grip on the end of the slide, causing a locking problem. I don't know if break-in will improve.
Love my Canik.
Tell me this why dont they do lots of 1000 or 2000 rounds test on the expensive guns weve seen so many of these budget guns and they work id like to see lots of stress test on expensive known brands
Very impressive presentation 👍
I wish they made this with a steel frame for competition, I prefer the extra weight for recoil control.
@6:18 Dude drops it after his run with it lol. That was just classic my man lol. And just prior a bit I see you got your wifes hair hanging from the magazine glistening in the sunshine. Golden...thanks for the review my man!
Sub 450 (I paid 435) on big daddy unlimited comes with hard case, holster, 4 red dot plates, 2 magazines, tools, and spare fibers for the fiber optic front sight one red one green.
Mine came with 2-20 round magazines, although the witness holes only go up to 18. It's my EDC, and while it might be a bit harder to conceal than my former EDC, the APX Compact, it is lighter, even with 7 more rounds in it. The trigger is nicer as well. Buh-bye, APX.
Oh awesome. Morning everyone
My rmr broke when I was shooting in the desert it lasted 2 years and bought a sightmark reflex sight for 130$ and it's held up for 2 years
That's a very big gun but I believe this is a very perfect gun for me I want to go shooting at the range and I also want to have this as my home defense pistol. I'm also getting the compact pistol as well. It comes with 1 18 and two 20 round magazines I need to get this and start practicing with this weapon. If I carry this as a ccw that would be perfect
I just bought one! Cant wait until i pick it up. So with 147 grain, you mentioned a change in recoil spring?
Seems quite nice and the price is incredible.
6:20 normal within breakin period.
I believe you can use TP9SFx magazines in the Walther PPQ series (including the SF models), so you can pick up a relatively cheap 20 round magazine without running an expensive Taylor Freelance baseplate on top of an already expensive Walther mag
I believe their are a few vids where guys interchange the slides/frames between Q5/SFX not sure about shooting or running them
The TP9SFx 20 round mags are $35, whereas the Walther mag is $50 +40 for a TF +6 extension. Seems like a no brainer to me. Plus if they don’t run, most sites will accept a return
Awesome video!! I’m going to pick one of these up soon!!
Smokey mountain gun and ammo has them in stock without the optic. I ordered one two days ago.
