#CHEAP RELIABLE 9MM PISTOLS SERIES#

The handgun only comes with one magazine, meaning that quick acquisition of spares is a must. With an MSRP of $429.00, it is a bit expensive for what a person is receiving but with a street price hovering around the $350 mark for a new handgun and gently used offerings falling into the $250 range, they are a hard to beat handgun for those on a budget. The handgun has good economics, accepts CZ-75 magazines and comes standard with a 16-round double-stack magazine. The quality surpasses the price point, as both the barrel and slide are hammer forged, with quality internals. This handgun is based on the iconic CZ-75 handgun and is ultimately a polymer-framed CZ-75 clone. The B6 and B6P handgun lines are produced in Turkey by SAR Arms and imported by SAR USA.

When shopping, it is quite easy to find a used TP9 with a rather low round count and in great shape for under the $300 mark, making it a steal for a budget minded handgun that checks all the important boxes.

This is on what they consider their 'top of the line' handgun as well, so it seems that either I received a poorly finished handgun that escaped quality control, or coating work is one of the weak points from the Turkish-based company. The finish on the barrel is equally as 'thin', giving noted and quick 'slide rash' (the finish removal on the top of the breech from interaction with the slide). While even, it is extremely thin on the sharper edges of the slide, resulting in premature holster wear. I also like the coated internal components, this helps prevent corrosion or rust on components with prolonged exposure to elements and moisture (through sweat) from carry.īeing a Canik TP9SFx owner, I was disappointed in the Cerakote (or comparable finish) on the handgun’s slide. For varying hand sizes, it also offers varying back-strap options, allowing the handgun to be fitted to the user’s hands.

Known to be a reliable and rather robust handgun with a great factory trigger, the Canik comes in at an attractive price point.
