Just one 9mm pistol opinions

I agree with you on the Canik TP9sa for $300 those pistols are phenomenal! I believe they are far superior to the Glock and are priced the way a Glock should be. I bought one with a 4.25lb trigger right out of the box!
 
Canik TP9SA?

I had to look that one up, and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.

It does look like a very nice pistol for the money.
 
It's probably the most reviewed pistol on youtube! lol
I just bought one thinking it was worth a shot at $300 +/- and was very pleased.
 
I walked around a gun show one day, trying out everything in my hand and the triggers, and looking at prices. The Canik is not perfect but its real nice and my favorite to shoot preferring single action. Its very accurate. Trigger take up is a little rough, I may have that worked someday. Let off is crisp though.
 
IMO the Canik does not fit the criteria that the OP is looking for:
The criteria are absolute reliability, availability of parts and reasonable accessories

Glad you are liking yours though.
 
Grand Power P1 (shorter slide/barrel) or K100 (standard slide/barrel).

Well made firearm. DA/SA. 15rnd std magazine. Hammer-fired rather than striker. Polymer frame. Cost $450-$500 new.
 
Without a doubt the Glock 19. Lots of accessories, lots of parts, good conceal-ability, very reliable and a great home defense weapon.

Sorry sigarms, I'm going to have to disagree with you, at this point in time it does. I have several 1000 rounds through mine without failure. Thanks

I think he was pointing out the fact that parts and accessories are still somewhat limited for it at this point. The original criteria wasn't just reliability.
 
There are thousands of the Canik guns available. At the selling price, I'm not worried about parts, I'll just buy another gun if needed. Accessories and mags are available now.

Mags are, but depending on the model sighting options are limited. I'm not calling the Canik a bad gun. It's a pseudo-clone of a very good gun and I hear good things about them. But compared to many other pistols on the market its aftermarket support is somewhat limited. If that doesn't matter to you personally fair enough, but pointing that out when it was part of the original criteria set forth by the OP is pretty fair.
 
The Caniks are VERY reliable, but you are not going to find accessories for them like a Glock or a M&P. But as mentioned by MosinM39, at $300-$350 who cares.
 
Yes TunnelRat its a fair assessment, but from frequent searches shooters are finding accessories more all the time, including links I saved for some improved sights adapted from another maker's gun. If the 9mm has a problem, I still have my Glock, and CZ, and if all else fails, the greatest guns ever made, my 1911s in .45 :)
 
Glock

Anyone of the 9mm offerings.
34, 17, 19 or 26. All of them will feed from the 17 round magazine. Or 33 round magazine if that's a thing.
