Five Reasons to Buy the Canik Elite over the Glock 19!
The Canik Elite is a Turkish made pistol which borrows heavily from the Walther PPQ which is an excellent pistol. It is affordable, reliable, has an excellent trigger and great sights. Even in its 5th Editions, few improvements have been made to enhance the Glock 19. You really can't go wrong with either pistol but you do get more for your money with the Canik.

Have owned several Sigs, bought a TP9SF Elite for an inexpensive option. Out of the box I fired one of the tightest groups I’ve ever shot at 15&25 yards. Great ergonomics, I’m totally sold on this weapon.
I am extremely pleased with all my Canik pistol models. Currently, I own the Canik METE SFT, the METE SFx, the METE SFT PRO, the Rival Darkside, and, a couple of weeks ago, I found a great deal on an used TP9 SF, another addition. *They are THAT good.*

@@RedEyePergo I never wanted to get a 5 inch barrel pistol until I saw the rivals! oh my god, those guns shoot so extremely flat and I definitely want the steel version. But thats out my budget until I get my credit up hahaha cuz i dont have $1000 just to spend on a gun. I'd probably opt for a Mete before I get the rival but thats definitely on the goal list. That gun looks insanely accurate and flat, not to mention it's one of the BEST looking guns I have ever seen. That shit is SEXY
I purchased this handgun as my first, suggested by a client, late last year. I made a great choice! The trigger is amazing, and is definitely sensitive (light). A couple of gun instructors gave it positive comments at classes. I have fired over 400 rounds now, and have had no issues. I'm looking at placing a red dot sight on it, but as I learn to shoot it with the iron sights only, it's helping me to build confidence using this pistol.

I've got the base model Canik SF. Love everything about it! It just plain works well for me. Never liked the Glock ergonomics'. So I owned a Springfield XD instead. I used to joke the Springfield was an improved Glock. Now Canik has raised the bar from Springfield. Very impressed!

I'm a TP9SF Elite owner, I purchased this gun a year or so ago, and I love it. With Canik you get a lot accessories for the money, not just the gun and an extra mag.
My blue label Glock 19 gen 5 was around $460 and the all black One series Canik TP9SF Elite with one mag cost $274. Pretty solid good feeling piece for a substantial savings. Agree with your opinion.
Thanks for your post. I picked up the CANIK TP9SF about a month ago and I've very pleased with it. Mine came with 2, 18 round magazines. The trigger is incredible.
My Canik and Stoeger are hard to beat. They always shine at the range.
I prefer my Canik Tp9sfx, and Tp9sa over a Glock. They are the best all around pistol. I never had any issues with them, very accurate, great triggers. I fired several Glocks, not a bad pistol, but fell a little short of the hype.

I love my canik’s. The Mete series allows cowitness which is my only complaint on the Canik you reviewed. The pocket takes the rear site off of the SFx version my sight on my sc has a rear sight built into it so love the red dot especially as my eyes get older ;)
I bought the TP9SFX with the Vortex for my son. A few months later I bought another with the white frame. In July, I bought the Rival Darkside and next week I'm getting the TP9 Elite Combat Executive. I have shot Glocks, and I will never own one. I'll take the Caniks all day long. Better triggers, better sights, better barrel, better ergonomics, more features for less money. You will never go wrong with the Canik. They are extremely accurate and so much fun to shoot.

I admit being a glock owner ! The Canik has a lighter trigger and a heavier upper slide for better recoil for better accuracy on target!! The Canik would be a good choice for price and when you purchase a Canik it comes with soooooo many assessories like Warren sights of different colors,with pistol grip for large and small hands,a cleaning barrel tube and a holster!!!!! If your a first time pistol gun owner , TRY CANIK TPSF9 ELITE because you cant beat the prices for all the features it has too offer ...

I’ve got the tp9 sfx and am very happy with it. It’s had at least a couple thousand rounds through it of several different brands and weights including hollow points without a malfunction. Accurate out of the box, ergonomic and a lot of bang for your buck. My only complaint is that during a four day defensive pistol course it wore the skin off of my thumb knuckle which I hear the mete has taken care of. Great pistol that’s starting to have a large aftermarket selection of upgrades

Precisely. Ive owned glocks for years. But my canik is my carry to work . The trigger is amazing
Compact is relative to 40 years ago. Today people hear compact. And think pocket or subcompact. Years ago pistols or revolvers were sizable. Today that is not so much an issue, even for revolvers. I own both of these pistols. And would recommend both. So here is the thing. If you have little budget and want a good pistol. Buy the Canik. If you have more to spend and or plan on improving your pistol, go Glock. Glocks have a plethora of options. The Canik while a good pistol has almost no options for upgrading compared to Glocks. In my younger days, I despised two things. iPhones and Glocks. Today I understand how wrong I was.
This is the best striker fired pistol after then cz p10c
light trigger pull leads to better accuracy
I'd never by a glock but I own 5 Caniks two H&K's Sig Sauer X Ten and Zigana PX9 Gen 3. Just say hell no to anything glock.
Opinions are as plentiful as different manufacturers, Thank God that we live in America and can choose from so many different types
Thank you for the comparison . I have a questions if you could answer . I recently got a Canik and I had the issue of the magazine release it gets stock whenever I pull it. I wonder what it is and how did you fix it? Since I have a block 19 and never that issue. Could tell me thank you

Remove the slide from the frame. Take a magazine and put a couple layers of painters tape around it. Take a blow dryers and heat the grip portion of the frame on the inside and outside of the grip. Once heated insert the magazine with the painters tape. Put the frame in the freezer for about an hour. Then remove the tape. This is how I fixed mine due to improper frame and mag fit.

@@firearmpatriotreviews I agree with that sir.
I'm an old guy, been carrying for a half a century, shooting longer than that. I stuff. learn all the time. But, this "Compact" gun stuff is foolish. A Glock 19 is a full size hand gun, that's it. I don't know when this sizing of came about but it's idiotic, only my opinion. A compact gun is small. For instance, a S&W 5-shot Chief's Special .38 cal revolver was compact. A full size M&P duty Revolver was just that full size. A compact gun should be comfortable for everyone to carry concealed. So if your 5' tall or 6'6" tall a full size gun could be considered compact for the large person not for the 5' person. Best to ya',,,,!
