I own a T-120 that I really like a lot. from what I read on the CZ clone club forum, the C-100 is one of the best Caniks. They don't accept any unmodified parts from CZs, but Cajun Gunworks sells some trigger parts that make a big difference in the Canik pistols. you can get some feedback from C-100 owners at this link. http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?board=27.0

I don't own a Canik, but FWIW my understanding is that some CZ magazines will work in some individual Caniks, but the fitment is inconsistent; some mags don't lock in, or only lock in when forcefully slammed home. The magazine catch holes are different shapes, but they're close enough that the tolerances evidently overlap.DA/SA Fan said:
That said, Canik-branded magazines are quite inexpensive, readily available, and reportedly very high-quality, so there's little reason to get hung up about this unless you already have access to a bunch of CZ mags.
The Caniks are reportedly closer in design to a Tanfoglio TA-series pistol (aka FIE or Excam TZ / EAA Witness / Jericho 941 / Baby Eagle) than a CZ. IOW they're an evolution of the CZ design rather than a direct clone.
I purchased a c100 - 9mm in February and I love the gun. My Ruger P95 sits in the bag unused since the Tristar showed up. I have put about 2000 rounds through it to date without a hiccup. It has eaten anything brass I have loaded, not one FTF or FTE ( I refuse to buy steel cased ammo). The only thing I did was purchase the CZ rubber grips which fit perfectly for me. I can't comment on the magazines as mine came with 2 Mecgar's that function great. In my opinion this the best 9mm available in it's price range. If you decided to purchase one, I don't think you will be dissapointed.
