I have a Canik TP9SF Elite and absolutely love it! It is a better shooter than my Gucci Glock 17 and is my EDC. I don't consider a Canik to be a good budget pistol...It is a very good pistol and a great price point and a tremendous value.
@@oceaser6977 Maybe the Elite Combat costs that much, but the standard Elite is much cheaper. I purchased mine in the summer of 2020 for $329. Granted as they develop a following, the prices will go up, but if someone is trying to get you to pay that price, I'd look elsewhere. 😁
I agree 100% I have many canon pistols and they are my go to firearm. No issues of any kind from any of them! My tp9sa have over 10,000 rounds thru it and not a single malfunction. Actually these are my favorite pistols period
@@oceaser6977 MSRP is still cheap. You can find them easy for 700 and below that at some places. Look at SAI for their glocks...this is over half their price.
I shot this along with some of my other guns, Glock 34 Gen 5, Glock 19x, Sig p320 compact, and the Sig P365. The Canik was my favorite by far. Very accurate! I love it!
For the 18/20 mags, u can buy a sleeve that takes up the extra space so that u dont have to worry about pushing the mag too aggressively and damaging the gun which solves the feeding issue as well. Theyre about $8 a piece which i think is worth it for the aesthetics of not having the mag look weird
I absolutely LOVE my Combat Executive! Canik makes Fantastic, better yet SUPERIOR firearms! Glad to see you have a super awesome pistol! Great review as well👊👊👊 Appreciate you guys!
I've been looking for months. I found one the the show yesterday for $799 I didn't take may hands off it till the guy started the paperwork. I now have the Blackout SFX, Elite SC with treaded barrel, and now this one. Trigger on the ECE is the best one yet. Cant wait for next weekend to throw some lead down range.
I wish I could buy the trigger that's on the Executive and put it on the SC Of course I want the whole Executive as well but the SC with the same trigger and threaded barrel 🔥
i bought a tp9 elite combat executive and love it. my wife loved it so much we had to go get her one too. the first thing she did was put the slide on wrong and locked it. took a bit of effort but i got it straightened out for her. excellent handgun for the price. I ended up putting a trijicon rmr06 on mine. USSOCOM surplus unit. works great for target but would take it off for carry.
@@andrewmalbright great! We look forward to it. If you want, you can join our email list for our upcoming classes on our website. We also get a discount with the local hotel for out of town students. Let us know when you plan your trip and we can give you the details.
I have the Canik SC along with many other handguns, pro tip, if you do forget how to put the slide back gun and slide it on from the front, all you have to do is push down on the trigger bar and the slide will no longer be stuck on the gun. All us Canik owners have done this
Great review. I own a V2 & SC. I have been eyeing the new SA 35 High Power buuuuuuut this Excexutive is one of the only pistols I actually want for my use. The SA 35 HP would be a nostalgic choice. Your review may have pulled back over to Canik again lol. Nothing but good things to say about Canik in my 5 years of owning one. Glad to see people are selecting them for the money & accessories they're hard to beat. Semper Fi
The Mec Gar Magazines have since been fixed, the 15+3 now has a lower right rear "fin" than the left, I would assume to mitigate this issue. I have clamped my 15+3 as hard as i could upward, released he slide, and it released fine. Thank you for the review!!!
That’s interesting. My brother owns 7 caniks and the executive. Never had a problem with mags. They all work interchangeable. But everyone has their own experience
I have almost every Canik and rotate the mags freely. Never had an over-insertion issue with my executive. The Rival S is the only one I have encountered the issue with but have since remedied.
I’ve been carrying a gucci’d P245 Sig for almost 20 years. I own a lot of capable carries (16) but nothing dethrones the Sig unless it’s really hot and my Seecamp is in a pocket. I just sold a gun on consignment and decided on the Executive to spend my credit. It hasn’t come in yet but we’ll see. Maybe this is the one UPDATE: had the Canik for a couple months and I’m very impressed. I upgraded the trigger and bought a Gunfighters Inc. shoulder rig and I carry it quite a bit. It also spends time in the carry spot of my Maxpedition daily pack. It’s an excellent striker fired pistol that absolutely competes with the rest of the market. When you add in the cost it’s tough to beat. P. S. I also fire it suppressed and it does well, I’m waiting on some different springs as it won’t cycle subsonic ammo suppressed but that’s not a big surprise.
I've just recently picked up the Canik TP9 SFx. Same basic box set but with a few more accessories. Same features except for the threaded muzzle. I am just as impressed with it. It went for $610 +tax +2% optional shipping insurance. It took me about 5 months of patient looking to find the deal I was both willing to go for and was in stock. It's stupid easy to disassemble and reassemble. It's simple to clean breaking down into just 4 parts. Which is wonderful for someone who learned on an M1911A1.
I have this same model from Canik. I cannot say I’ve noticed the slide stuttering across the top of my 21rd. mag, or had issues with the slide staying locked open. It is possible I just haven’t slapped the mag in hard enough, or maybe there was an update to the mags. Either way, hands down my favorite pistol. Oh baby, that trigger is incredible.
Sometimes my SFX will not feed the next round if I start with a full mag and one in the chamber…take 1 rd out of the mag and it’s flawless. Maybe just needs more spring compression time
It is just weird. I always steered clear of Caniks because of the price point. I have owned almost every Glock, from a 42 to a 17L. Have owned about 6 sigs including a 226. A couple HKs, some CZs, Kimbers, Walthers including the Q5 match sf pro. A Dan Wesson and a Staccato C2. There are more, but it is hard to remember them all. I tried the new Smith and wesson csx and was not impressed. Traded it last week and guy had a used Canik TP9 SF Elite S for just shy of $300. I said "screw it, I will give them a chance". Started doing hardcore research on them and was shocked about how many good things I am hearing. I now own 2, have a 3rd on layaway and I will be getting a Combat Elite Executive next weekend. Never in my life has a firearm company impressed me as much as Canik is. The only handgun that I have ever shot that was more pleasant and slightly more accurate than the standard SFX is a CZ Shadow 2 SAO.
I have the FDE version. It’s actually in my Carry rotation. accuracy is off the charts. Just a thought thought how come Canik hasn’t come out with a 22 Lr handgun??
Heres the hack on the magwell. I purchased 4 canik pistols yesterday. Both mete,the sub compact, and the elite combat. All of them are badass, especially the mete sft. Anyhow, the magwell hack on the combat. With magwell installed, put masking tape on the hand grip up to the magwell. Remove magwell, use black hot glue. I put hot glue on the magwell itself. It has a void in the front of it. Get it in there plentiful, quickly install the magwell. Wait 5 mins. Remove excess glue. Comes off easy as hell. Remove tape. Clean up with an exacto knife. Take your time. Dont jack up the grip module. The issue is, there is not enough material to engage the front of the magwell. Just the little squares on the grip. Thats it. The other issue is, canik will tell you the magwell is suppose to do that. Idiots.
great honest objective review. bravo. I bought mine a few months ago and I am absolutely in love. very satisfied with every aspect of it. just 1 question in mind. do you think is there an alternative magwel that may suit more ergonomic for mid-large handers ?
Very nice review! In fact love it! I Have the tp9 elite sc and will now look into this one! Thanks you guys for all your info and videos! But I am toying with the rmr on mine as vision is getting worse with age lol, so If I like the rmr's I may put on this one as im looking now to purchase! Love ya! Amd thanks for the review!
I have the combat executive. Only canik I've owned. It 'points' great and is highly accurate. U think fiber optic front sight looks amazing but I don't like fiber optic because they can fall off. Other than that, it's a perfect gun.
I do like this pistol.....I like Canik a lot, have 5 different TP9 models. Great video, and like you said, the side grip on this one is something others may like, I do, and issue with mag well, never even noticed, I have S/M hands is most likely why. Out of curiosity before posting I went into my safe and pulled some spare Canik mags like you talked about and I didn't have a issue, even slamming them in like you did....think maybe the ones I have have been modified by Canik like you suggested to them?
Does an extended barrel, i.e. a threaded barrel also act as a device which would keep the slide coming out of battery? As if, you had to press the pistol against a person's body, would the barrel help keep the slide to stay in battery? "Standoff Device," that's what I was looking for. Does the extra barrel length just happen to also function as a standoff device?
Absolutely excellent review. I hope Canik gets the magazine issue worked out for the higher capacity magazines as the gun is very good otherwise. I have a TP9SF and it has been a workhorse.
I just bought this gun, waiting for it to show up so i can hit the range. I found the drop leg cloak mod holster by 'aliengear' to be a great look/ super intuitive design for open carry.
Got the executive last year and love it! Put a TLR7-A on it and carry it in a tier one axis slim!Thankfully all of my mags work great and I haven’t had the issue you spoke about, only issue Ive had is with a 32 round pro mag I got for the range, it just won’t lock back on last round, but that is a pro mag issue as the cheap plastic stop was chipped when I received it..but it’s a pro mag so range use only anyway lol
Thank you so much for explaining how to put it back together. Because like you I too did not read the instructions to put it back together so to would have done the same thing lol😅
Exelent video. I like those movements im min 9:17 when you put the gun point up next your ear. Can you telme more about point foward. Down or this way .. thanks
This gun is essentially the size of of a Glock 19...a "small/compact" size pistol. Most of us going into the buying process knowing this and expecting a less than optimal grip for our particular hand size/shape. You guy this gun and the Glock 19 because it is the size it is for CCW if you beliee in the idea of "EDC/CCW" (I don't and think it's a silly "right") to give civilians). Most of us buy guns after getting a chane to hold and shoot them at the gun shop/our FFL...if they have a shooting range....if the gun doesn't "feel right" in our hhands we're not going to shot it Why I like the H&K VP9 pistol and pisols like it with replaceable 3-side grip panels....for a "custom" a fit as possible (till one day someone starts taking hand impressions (e.g. with clagy)" for a true "custom grip"...odd no one's done that yet...not that hard).... CANIK---prof we don't need to spend thousands for a "good enough" plinking or defensive gun....and that companies are capable of inckuding a lot more in the box than they do...most are just being cheap and greedy....Just like more companies can actually sell us guns with no MIM parts like Dan Wesson...for relatively fairprice points....
This is a horrible idea that some agencies are teaching., including my old agency. If you accidently fire your gun with it next to your ear you are DONE! I would never recommend this to anyone.
I also took my tp9 elite combat slide off and attempted to put it back on “ Glock” style. OOPS ! It went about 1/4 back on and was stuck. It took me about 1/2 hour to figure out how to get it off and then back on. Did I read up on it first ? Nope. Have I read up on it yet ? Nope. Typical guy. We never ask directions 😂
It is hard to come by most guns and ammo. Try gun.deals I have had good luck with them. C4 Shooting & Training (Urbandales) does free transfers. Thanks for watching and commenting
I ordered one of these today, BattleHawk Armory has them for $605. $30 insured shipping and $20 for my transferring FFL brings the cost to just under $656 out the door for this pistol. I just couldn't pass that up.
Or....buy the correct magazines for your model. The other mags work, but they are not the correct mags for the Executive. I have many and they all have the extension...work flawlessly.
I love this guys unbiased blunt honesty. One of the best canik reviews I’ve come across
I have a Canik TP9SF Elite and absolutely love it! It is a better shooter than my Gucci Glock 17 and is my EDC. I don't consider a Canik to be a good budget pistol...It is a very good pistol and a great price point and a tremendous value.

Great (and honest) review as always Neil! While I'm mostly a Sig guy, I bought this Canik last year and love it.
Thanks for watching and commenting
In their canik website they say they torched that gun 9ver 60,000 rounds and had zero fails
I had to buy one to try and it's freaking awesome pistol

Of course I want the whole Executive as well but the SC with the same trigger and threaded barrel 🔥
I've had the issue with my 17rd extended mags as well. (Over insertion)
Can you believe I found this gun for $610 brand new?

@Frank Bonazza III It was the whole box set with the viper. I have to laugh now. The METE is going for less and has a couple of improved features.
Last time I was this early it was still "only 2 weeks to flatten muh curve"

Heres the hack on the magwell. I purchased 4 canik pistols yesterday. Both mete,the sub compact, and the elite combat. All of them are badass, especially the mete sft. Anyhow, the magwell hack on the combat. With magwell installed, put masking tape on the hand grip up to the magwell. Remove magwell, use black hot glue. I put hot glue on the magwell itself. It has a void in the front of it. Get it in there plentiful, quickly install the magwell. Wait 5 mins. Remove excess glue. Comes off easy as hell. Remove tape. Clean up with an exacto knife.

Thank you for all your support
i got a totally different holster and i love it..its the one with the trigger finger slide
What light and holster do you have? I have Caniks wont buy anything else.
I love my executive. Flawless handgun. A little heavy but on point.
Some complain of the TP9SF's grip rubbing the main support thumb knuckle. Supposedly, the larger hand insert will help.
Would this make a good ccw pistol?
I agree, I like the holster that came with my TP9SFX.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with it.

Hey what holster are you using?? I just bought my executive and am dying finding a holster for it as an OWB/ comp rig
Is the holster your using the holster that came in the canik box
mine came with a different holster that is excellent! When did you buy this?
Is it a Walther trigger or something different?
Been hearing about these, but haven't been able to handle one to see if it impresses me to buy one.
If you shoot you buy one for sure :)
You mentioned you would carry this gun, but what do you carry as your primary go too?
I carry my duty gun for legal reasons but I do carry the executive
I love the take down on my Canik. It is so much easier than a Glock!
What holster are you using
Have you reviewed the Canik Mete yet? Was curious what you thought
Hi there could you please do an independent comparison of the sig p365 spectre and the canik tp9 sf elite combat executive
Do I get this or the 509 tac or Sig p226 legion if I can only afford one??? thanks for the help.

I love my elite combat i dnt love that its pretty much impossible to find extra mags
Taylor freelance mag extensions. Easy to install. I have the 18rd that came with the Exec and a 18rd w/+4 TF mag extension 👍
Just need to find one!
Here's the box. Nice box...lol love it...unboxing is stupid as hell, make it go bang.
Do empty magazines fall free when you press the magazine release ? With my TP9 Elite Combat they don't.
Yes except when they were covered in heavy dirt but that goes for all pistols.

Just curious why do you move with the pistol beside your head like that?
This is a horrible idea that some agencies are teaching., including my old agency. If you accidently fire your gun with it next to your ear you are DONE! I would never recommend this to anyone.
@@Joe-lk6oc yeah seems very obvious it’s a bad idea but maybe they think it looks cool lol
I also took my tp9 elite combat slide off and attempted to put it back on “ Glock” style. OOPS ! It went about 1/4 back on and was stuck. It took me about 1/2 hour to figure out how to get it off and then back on. Did I read up on it first ? Nope. Have I read up on it yet ? Nope. Typical guy. We never ask directions 😂
So you and Taylor Martin (Best Damn EDC) have the same opening music.
How would you compare this gun to The Walther PDP?
I own both, am a huge Walther fan, but Canik Combat is much better. Better trigger, less felt recoil (less flip), more for less
does salient sells this barrel upgrade for the Sc elite??
unfortunately they dont
@@alexsicalcano5483 thanks man been waiting for someone to comment
Hey do you know a good IWB holster for this pistol?
Stipple? Why stipple? Talon grips baby!
Finally got my executive. Can’t stop staring lol
Where did u get your holster that you actually in the video not the one it comes with
Kt-Mech
Are there any after market iwb holsters for it if so any pointers
ive been looking for good comfortable EDC. my friend has one of these. i am sold. now to just find one i can buy or trade for. lol
It's big for a concealed but perfect if you can open carry
@@WalksandSuch my issue is I can find any of the tp9s elites anywhere.
Hi GFA..Love your videos. I live local to you and have a TP9SFX. I have been looking for the Executive for a while and can not find any. Any advice?
It is hard to come by most guns and ammo. Try gun.deals I have had good luck with them. C4 Shooting & Training (Urbandales) does free transfers. Thanks for watching and commenting
I ordered one of these today, BattleHawk Armory has them for $605. $30 insured shipping and $20 for my transferring FFL brings the cost to just under $656 out the door for this pistol. I just couldn't pass that up.
Or....buy the correct magazines for your model. The other mags work, but they are not the correct mags for the Executive. I have many and they all have the extension...work flawlessly.
You're talking like you can even get mags lol
I think "executive" is the color.
i did the same thing got it stuck reassembling it
It came with a cleaning rod but you should have a cleaning kit….but whatever lol.
Couldn’t finish sorry.
Dude the FN 5.7 goes together the same way.
He got bullet tattoo. Got a big truck go, "Brrrrr..."
