What do you think of it, how reliable does it seem, and do you have any good or bad points ... from ACTUAL experience ... to comment on???
 
I own one in desert tan. I like it - I don't love it. The accuracy is good. The finish is way better than its $310 price tag but not great. The mags are awesome and the fit in the frame is good too. The trigger is way better than its price tag too.... but not great. But probably better than my beloved Glocks. Although the staging thing takes getting used to (but so does the squishy glock trigger at first). So far with over 3K hand loads thru it, it has been 100% reliable. I have NO regrets. You should buy one

I probably am, just throwing it out there to see how it goes in the real world with owners. The price is too hard to pass on, although I really don't need a 9mm, but again it may be handy...
 
I have the canik/tristar t-100. I have put it through hell and back and it's still runs like a dream. I paid 350$ at academy. never one single malfunction even though all it eats is handloads. I have recommended it to people a million times over. I can't speak for the tp9 in particular, but every owner of a canik/tristar I have talked to have been satisfied customers.
The t100 has an aluminum alloy frame that the finish doesn't stick to at all. so just take that into consideration, I hear the all steel models and polymer models are fine. my steel slides finish is hlding up great, but is literally falling off of the frame. but I also have 3-4000 rounds through and haven't treated her well. if I could go back, I would have paid the extra 30$ for the hard chrome finish.


but the great thing about a 300$ pistol is I don't really care. I throw in the foor of my car, in the dirt and gravel when shooting, dropped in on concrete just a couple days ago. it's a workhorse though and the trigger is amazing.
 
about 5000 rounds thru mine
a very fine weapon!
you would have to spend alot more money to equal it
like for a real P99AS and those are around $600 are they not?
 
Since I got mine a few guys at work picked up some as well----0 issues from any of theirs also.

Very good video, I enjoyed it very much!:D

I was quite on edge watching you shoot with the gun between your legs, and your sensitive area facing the enemy guns first ... OH MY!!! That hurt just watching it :eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
sorry to bump but had to add my opinion. I just bought a canik t100 in the stainless. i absolutely love this pistol! i have an addiction to nine mm's and have had all different brands from taurus to kel tec to hungariaans and germans and list goes on. this by far due to fit finish and feel is my absolute favorite. i have no complaints other than lack of decocker.
 
I have shot one at the range and it was a nice gun full-circle but that's just a mag full experience--However, I do have a Canik S-120 (CZ-75 Clone) and it is simply among the top three value/performance guns I have...I could do without the 'dolphin' emblem to be sure...
 
I've owned one for a few months now. I initially had issues with failures to return to battery with it, but century customer service was very prompt and helpful. turn around time from ticket open to the gun back at my doorstep was about 3 weeks. it has been 100% reliable ever since. not the most accurate gun ever made but it'll put everything in a B27 sized bad guy at 15 yards and so far all I've fed it has been just range ammo and 147gr hollowpoints. I'm not in love with mine but I would probably recommend them for someone on a strict budget.
