Canik TP9SFX 9mm race gun

This one has caught my eye--anyone have any thoughts/comments/experience with it? Seems like a value loaded handgun at a Glock-competitive price point.

I had a chance to handle one of these guns at my local gun shop. The gun had good balance and a better trigger than the nice trigger on my current Canik. Asking price was $525. I see one of these in my future.
 
It's spelled Canik, not Kanik, and it's actually pronounced "JAN-ik" because the Turkish "C" character denotes a hard "J" sound.

Pardon the nitpick. :D
 
I have one. I really like it with a Vortex Venom on top.

The trigger is amazing out of the box.

It's accurate.

Zero malfunctions in about 500 rounds of Blazer brass 124gr and 100 rounds of HST 124gr.

If you don't want the mount, the gun it is copying is the PPQ 5" which Walther is offering a $100 rebate on. The Walther is far superior to the TP9 series (owned lots of both: size, fit, finish, warranty, metal protection, etc) and the PPQ is cheaper right now.

The PPQ Q5 the gun the TP9FSX copies, but isn't part of the rebate.
 
I don't know much about it, but it just looks like another glock knock-off. I would like it a lot better if it didn't have the glock-like trigger, though. How does the trigger function compare to a glock?
 
Better than Glock. It is rumored Canik used the Walther P99 trigger system that just went out of copy protection. Personally, looking at the two, yes-that's probably true. The Canik has larger parts, but nearly the same in appearance. Given the Canik/TriStar line is just copies of others (CZ), it also is probably true.

The original TP9 was nearly exact to the P99AS system. TP9 = P99AS, TPSA = P99QA (replaced by the Walther PPQ-though they were made years together), TP9SF = PPQ, TP9SF Elite & Elite-S = PPQ M2 in barrel length and grip and PPQ M1, and TP9SFX = PPQ 5" and PPQ Q5.

Better triggers than Glock. I personally do not find them equal or near equal to the smoothness of the Walthers. They are spoogier too. Additionally, I had problems with 4 TP9SFs having safety blades that could lock up the trigger if not pressed square on.
 
No comments about Turkey yet? Impressive!!

I got a change to shoot the tp9sfx a couple of weekends ago. It's a beauty! Nicely balanced, smooth shooting, easy to get back on target, and it does have a really nice trigger in it. Much much better trigger than stock Glock, easy to read, sharp wall, crisp snap, good reset.
 
Sounding good. The only 9mm I currently own is a LC9s--so I may consider upgrading to something like this. I know it won't be the same kind of CCW.
