I’m currently waiting for three days for background check. Got it for 375. What am I in for? How’s the companies customer service? I’ve read mostly good review on what little I found. Feels great in hand. I’m hesitant cause I hear bad things about Turkish guns. Is this really the exception to the rule? Gonna be first entry into world of semi autos.
 
I have a Sarsilmaz K2P which is also a Turkish gun. It is a well built pistol. Canik, AFAIK, has a good reputation for some quality CZ clones. The TP9SA is a Walther p99 clone. Some folks don't like the decocker on a SA, but it should be an accurate reliable pistol.

Shouldn't you have asked these questions before you bought?
 
Looks like they’d fix and upgrade my firearm free of charge. No worries. I’ll jusy check serial once it passes background check and send to be upgraded if it hasn’t

Congrats on the new pistol. They seem like nice pistols and good shooters being based on the Walther P99. The firing pin seems to be a weak spot as more than a few of reports of them breaking.
 
My friend bought a TP9SA the same time I bought my K2P. I researched my way into the K2P. He impulse bought the Canik and after only a couple mags through it, decided he didn't like it. If I had the money, I'd make him an offer. After some of my own research, I would be more interested in the TP9V2 for it's DA capability. But, I have too many other guns on the "want to buy" list and too little time, money, and leeway from the wife.

Be sure to let us know how you like it.
 
I cannot tell you about customer service because mine has been flawless. It has become one of my favorite range guns. They are a great value IMHO.
 
I have one,, so far I really like it..the only issue I had was it was hitting 4-5" low at 30 yds..not much on the market for Sights for the Canik..I found that sights from the CZ 75 or 85 fit the canik. front and rear. I needed a taller rear sight.. took a chance and ordered some Hi-Viz sights for the CZ,,fit perfect.. it raised the rear sight just enough to bring it up to shoot on target.. love it..View attachment 107042 and I paid $250. for mine..You can find them new foe $320. or less..

It's a copy of the Walther PPQ with the P99QA decocker.

Everything is about the same place, it's just physically bigger all around.

I liked mine. 375 was 75 too high. Oh well though. It's good. I personally find the 100 or less more for the Walther is well worth it for the metal treatment, smaller size, better trigger, and overall feel.

The FDE is like tacky spray paint.

It isn't bad though. I owned a few of the SAs.
 
How’s the customer service and warranty? I stayed away from Taurus for their notoriety on that. Haven’t paid or picked it up yet as waiting for background check to clear. Also curious about after market parts
 
For a $300 gun your not going to get the service and available aftermarket parts like a Sig, Colt, Para, Glock...:rolleyes:, etc.. you get what you pay for..Good Luck

As a generalized statement, that makes no sense. Kahr and Ruger both sell new $300 guns.

Head over to one of the Canik forums and see what is said there. Personally I would not one as one of my main pistols due to reports I have read of not so good support service and long wait for parts but I have no personal experience.
