I am truly amazed at how awesome this gun is...I own some really nice guns like the P10C, P07, M9A3, Springfield TRP 1911, and VP9...this gun is right up there with them! In fact it’s my favorite polymer gun
A buddy of mine bought one today. I went to the shop with him and I can tell you that not only does it look awesome but the features and the value that you get is beyond the price. Basically this is a TP9 with everything you can plan to do to it. Get yourself a nice can/other barrel device, and Optics, and you have nothing else to do. My buddy picked it up in Athens Georgia for $699
Just added this and the SFx to my collection last week.......Awesome isn't enough word to cover both of these weapons....I love Canik, my everyday carry is the old and reliable TP9-SA....now I have seven different TP9 series.....all are fantastic. If you guys are looking to purchase the Elite Combat (tan) Black Sheep Armory II in Panama City Beach FL has three of them as we speak.....they take care of everyone, but if you are a Veteran.....special treatment. Nice video brother....
My Executive came with the #1 Optic Plate, I had to pay $50 on eBay for the #2 because they are out of stock EVERYWHERE!! Going to put my Holosun 507c ACSS Green dot on it. 🤩
Every time I almost convince myself to buy a Canik they come out with a more appealling model As a CZ fan boy I guess I'll just wait and see whats next nice gun
I recommend the executive I got one before I saw this video and that trigger is so good it's scary 😝 I've also got a cz shadow 2 b&b and they're different beasts being striker and hammer fired but it's a tough choice
Just wanted to mention that all Caniks have very nice triggers out of the box which should be putting hurting on aftermarket trigger manufacturers like Apex and Powder river precision these after market triggers cost well over 100 dollars for a Smith or Springfield just to let people know freedomsmith has upgrades triggers for all Canik guns that cost 70 dollars which makes a already good trigger even better much better
Other than the finish, gold nitride and thread pitch, same exact pistol as The Elite Combat...dope pistol all around...if you're looking for a Comp, check out the Zev Technologies Zev Pro Comp V2
I remember when Caniks were budget guns.. Over the last few years the prices have crept up.. Same with the Grand Power handguns and their Stribog... Prices going thru the roof..
Excellent review on this 9 mm pistol I'm going to get me one of these not sure if I want the combat executive are the elite they are both very very nice pistols. Thank you for showing us all about this pistol.
@@Mikenbikez love my VP9. Feels great in hand and just performs well. After a bit of additional research, I believe in going with the TP9 Elite SC for carry, and prob will get the TP9 Elite Combat Exec for additional home defense.
Dude, my elite combat just came in today! Still watching the review to see I messed up or not. I got it for $595 though, so that makes it easier on me.
What’s the difference between the and the Elite Combat? There’s a 100 dollar MSRP between the two and the only difference I see on Canik’s page implies they have different barrels because of the threading?
Man, Canik keeps upping their game. I’ve always considered the SF Elite, it never ended up getting one. Im also not a fan of FDE at all. This one looks amazing and seems to have everything you could want. I might be picking one up!
Update: I picked one up via grabagun.com for $700 and it’s an amazing package. I’ve only gotten a chance to shot it once, but I’ve put 200 rds through it. I first shot 100 rds of double tap practice...2 to the body, 1 to the head. Then I shot 100 rds at a slower pace for accuracy. It’s super accurate and probably the gun I shoot best with. At 7yds, I shot 10 rds and had 9 of them making one hole, with one round just a few mm off the group. I couldn’t be happier with it. The only hard part is finding holsters at this point.
just a note for people getting them now, they have changed the included holster again. there is no longer a locking mechanism and is a bit closer to a duty holster
@@GBGuns no problem! i am looking forward to trying mine. Have quite a few pistols in other calibers but wanted a real nice 9mm. The employee at the armory that I was talking to hadn't seen it before and was so impressed that they bought one at the same time I did.
Apparently the difference between the Executive and 'non-executive' combat is that the barrel thread is a different size, the executive accommodating US supressors.
I've got alot of different glocks and cz. My son just bought this gun and it is leaps quicker than any of my glocks and cz's. I will have one before long.
@Bulls eye i guess I meant im quicker with the gun than with the others I've been shooting for a while. Ive since then bought one and it has quickly became my favorite.
While not cheap compared to other guns from other manufacturers your getting a lot for your money with all the upgrades accessories and attachments that if were purchased separate on other guns would cost 400+ dollars l like it but just got a TP9sfx so I'm out of cash for awhile
The only difference I noticed is the barrel threading is correct for USA on the executive. The elite is for like UK barrels from what I saw in other videos. Then again I'm new to the gun world
@@kylehill2704 Since I wrote that, they have changed the FDE one. It used to have metric Left Handed threads, now it is 1/2x28. Not sure anymore about the plates either.
Great tabletop as always Graham! I bought one of the TP9SF’s before the Elite’s were released, and even then I thought Canik was a well made, low cost, handgun. I would still like to pick up an Elite at some point. Looking forward to the “What’s for Dinner” video!
I've gotta say.. Dude, I'm impressed by this gun already and I'm not half way through the video. I've had my fair share, carry a 365 atm. I think this is exactly what I'm looking for to take to the range.
Just got one and I'm blown away by how great this little gun shoots. For me at least. LIGHT YEARS better than a glock or XD. I've NEVER shot groups with ANY striker fired pistol like I do with the TP9 Series.
I feel the same way man. I shot my Sfx rival for the first time a few weeks ago and felt like a new improved shooter with it. Blew a fist sized hole in the 10 zone, and wasn't really even trying to be accurate. It was just all flowing together. Crisp triggers on these Caniks
So the only differences between the executive and the regular elite combat is the color scheme and the barrel is more american friendly (tightens to the right instead of the left)? Looking at buying my first handgun have finally decided to go with this over the fnx45 tactical. But unsure if to go with the executive just in case I decide to put on a suppressor down the road.
What optic is the plate for? I looked at their website and I couldn't see where it said. I saw some on Buds with Vortex Optics already mounted for really reasonable prices. I've never owned a Canik but I might have to pick one up. Good review as always Graham.
Plate 01 works with doctor, meopta, insight and vortex Plate 02 works with trijicon Plate 03 works with c-more Plate 04 works with leupold, shield and j-point
As best I can tell they are all identical in function, the changes are aesthetic and somewhat in the feel, but only in how your finger may or may not like it as much, pull length, weight, and reset are all effectively the same.
@@GBGuns hey, i just bought one the other day and noticed when i rack the slide to feed a round in the chamber the slide stops right before fully seated. Ill give the slide a little push and then it'll reach its normal spot. I haven't gone out to shoot it or cleaned it yet. Anyone experienced this? Thanks
@@GBGuns ok thanks for responding so quick. It's fine with no mag in it. It bothers me alot, hopefully it'll resolve itself after i go shoot tomorrow. Im going to clean it now.
@@xxfire07 That would be pointless since a good portion of the markup is the Salient barrel. That would be like spending almost 3x the price of the Elite for a magwell, an extra barrel, and some minor improvements to the trigger.
Stupid question why does your slide come back so easy? Or are you just stronger mine is def little on hard side to pull back definitely not hard but no way I'm 2 fingering it
They changed this holster to just a regular retention holster. Kinda disappointing because I like the idea of this. Regardless, I am still gonna get one. This is the OZ9 equivalent of a Glock....but it feels much better.
Beware Canik cannot support its Combat Executive or Combat Elite as a new owner of a Executive I found a deficit on the PVD barrel I was informed that You cannot purchase a barrel separate for these two guns I was never told by my Dealer I did my research before buying I was Directly told this by text from Canik Spokesman SAM These are flagship models in 40 yrs of shooting I’ve never heard of such a thing nor does Salient Arms even mention Canik or offer a replacement barrel I didn’t want to send pistol in because of fear of mail ect I was going to purchase getting run around by Century sent them photo fifty rds thru it So Be Warned go back to you’re Dealers and ask go on line to Canik they offer a PVD for SC but you’re choice BUY A NEW GUN if Barrel is defective see for youreself as I said and Canik is inferring they would possibly? warranty the entire firearm over a issue with you’re barrel???

Some people believe that the golden colour on the outer side of barrel may wear off afterwards with the usage..... Anybody comment on this apprehension?
+Graham Baates I know your favorite handgun is the Walther P99. What about the copies SW99 Magnum Research MR9 Caniks TP9 TP9V2 and DA? Can you rank in order which guns you prefer?
I got the tp9 series when the v2 came out. The sf, elite, sfx were great BUT not without issues. I had the trigger reset issue on the SF none with the others. Had the stuff RSA but did the proper break in With the 2 newest offerings... for one too small for my hands with the magwell, then paying for the salient name..... no thanks. They are budget shooters that perform great out of the box and that’s what kept them competitive and relevant Not enough of a following to get anybody other than the real fans of the series to get one. I like em but for that price I’m getting something that will justify the tag OR just build a glock
Gear Barrel Yes shipped to century, the trigger bar was bent slightly out of spec. Everything came back and it was polished up. For $350 wasn’t a bad deal and it runs like a champ now The sf elite by far my favorite. More so over the p10c The sfx was to see if I’d like a pistol optic... served its purpose as well. The DA didn’t thrill me, the last two offerings either. If they come with a true compact I’d look into it as most issues have been worked out
I saw the SARS pistols today here in Georgia. I have never heard of this brand before. But when I pick one of them up it was something for under $400. The trigger on them are nowhere near as good as the CANIK.
So disappointed with this gun. The thread protector was so tight that the provided wrench essentially crimped the protector to the barrel. 800$ gun. Not a single round through it and it is already marred and damaged due to poor craftsmanship. Spent weeks and hundreds of hours researching only to run into this problem in the first hour of owning
I have the Elite Combat. One of the most accurate 9mm that I own or have Shot. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a decent pistol for a decent price.
I have a Sig 226 a day have owned many top quality pistols. Cut mu teeth on 1911's and shot Match Grade 1911's in The Marine Corps Matches. The Canik TP9 series is far from " cheap junk". I have had a V2 since 2016 and shoot a few rounds through it. It does everything my Sig 226 does and the TP9 series is equal to my 226, except the TP9 accessories and trigger are far better. Not sure why your expirence was such, many people have had great expirences with Canik. I am in the process of transitioning to the TP9 Elite SC as my EDC retiring my Glock 30 FS .45 acp. Hope you'll give Canik another try, these pistols are right up there with some of the best ever made. Not ready to put them in my Top Five but that is because they have a few decades to caught up to Sig, Walther, CZ, Glock , Colt and a few others. Differently not " cheap junk". Semper Fi
I am truly amazed at how awesome this gun is...I own some really nice guns like the P10C, P07, M9A3, Springfield TRP 1911, and VP9...this gun is right up there with them! In fact it’s my favorite polymer gun

as a polymer framed & striker fired model, this is also one of the best-sellers of the market in Turkey as well.
Very nice. They should put some of those features on the SFX. Mag well and threaded barrel would be nice.
I have this model and love it...my friends who try this gun always say they like it better than their own...
Love my executive. Have over 500 rds through it. Next is the H&K vp9.
Just the opposite Michael...I have the HK VP9 and looking to get the TP9 Elite Exec, TP9 SF Elite or the Walther PPQ Q4. Decisions...decisions??smh

Question: golden barrel of executive, will it catch dust or get itd golden colour fade away with time?
Shall i get Elite combat or executive!?
Only 1 optic plate?
Bigbore I thought that was odd as well. The fde combat version comes with like 4. That’s odd.
Yes. My buddy bought one of these today and he said the same thing. The dealer, him, and I can verify that it only comes with one plate.
Does the canik Elite Combat flate trigger have any advantage over the Canik SF traditional trigger or they both same except design?

Executive is $699 here in Athens Georgia
I spent 1200 in all... got the venom optics with
Would you say that the elite series produced by canik are nothing but ppq copies, or are they their own gun at this point?
Q4 Tac clone
So the combat elite comes with 4 optics mounting plates. Does the executive come with only 1 like shown in your video?
Yes, correct.
Hard to eject the magazine if you're going to hold it sideways
My point exactly.
Nice gun nice review
Very cool.
Are the threads LEFT or RIGHT handed?
Right handed
So it's the exact same gun in black? I want one without the threaded barrel.
You would have to buy a barrel for their TP-9 SF Elite and it would fit just fine.
@@xxfire07 That would be pointless since a good portion of the markup is the Salient barrel. That would be like spending almost 3x the price of the Elite for a magwell, an extra barrel, and some minor improvements to the trigger.

Ok I tried putting the slide on like glock. Now it's stuck is there anyway I can fix this. I'm an idiot
Stupid question why does your slide come back so easy? Or are you just stronger mine is def little on hard side to pull back definitely not hard but no way I'm 2 fingering it

Can you tell me if I can own a TP9 Elite with threads on the Barrel in California? Thanks
No, I'm not an attorney
How you just gonna skip over the original sf
😍
Man I'm stuck between this or gen 5 19, mos!!!
NeezyFBaby go with the canik I have it and rocks I have had several glocks and they don’t compare.
The Executive version has the 1/28 threads the FDE Combat still uses the European threads. Is the only difference between the two.
What about the barrel? Is it the exact same Salient Barrel? Less the special coating?
Canik and Sarsılmaz are best TURKISH guns💪🤘🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I saw the SARS pistols today here in Georgia. I have never heard of this brand before. But when I pick one of them up it was something for under $400. The trigger on them are nowhere near as good as the CANIK.
Is that real gold lol 😂
Grip too Short !
Just I hear TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and that’s why I hear some will not purchase one.
So disappointed with this gun. The thread protector was so tight that the provided wrench essentially crimped the protector to the barrel. 800$ gun. Not a single round through it and it is already marred and damaged due to poor craftsmanship. Spent weeks and hundreds of hours researching only to run into this problem in the first hour of owning
Love how they copied the new Hi Point C9 with the threaded barrel! 😂😂😂
Caniks are cheap junk . ... DONT BUY!
What's your experience been?
I have the Elite Combat. One of the most accurate 9mm that I own or have Shot. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a decent pistol for a decent price.
What makes them cheap junk?

I have a Sig 226 a day have owned many top quality pistols. Cut mu teeth on 1911's and shot Match Grade 1911's in The Marine Corps Matches.
The Canik TP9 series is far from " cheap junk". I have had a V2 since 2016 and shoot a few rounds through it. It does everything my Sig 226 does and the TP9 series is equal to my 226, except the TP9 accessories and trigger are far better.
Not sure why your expirence was such, many people have had great expirences with Canik. I am in the process of transitioning to the TP9 Elite SC as my EDC retiring my Glock 30 FS .45 acp.
Hope you'll give Canik another try, these pistols are right up there with some of the best ever made. Not ready to put them in my Top Five but that is because they have a few decades to caught up to Sig, Walther, CZ, Glock , Colt and a few others. Differently not " cheap junk".
