Great value quality modern handguns. Of all, Canik is my favorite. I own the TP9DA and the TP9SF. Very pleased with their performance. My very favorite handguns are the Walther PDP and the CZ P10. Then Canik 💪🏼😎🇺🇲
I love my Girsan Regard MC. Mine doesn’t have the rail, but I didn’t feel like waiting for one with a rail. I purchased a 30 round mag from Beretta, and a Pro-Mag 18 rounder, along with the 18 round Mac-Gar that the weapon came with. I am trying a few different styles of grips and holsters to see what I like the most. I am a reservist and I wasn’t going to pass up such a smoking deal on a spot on clone of the M9 that I will have to qualify with. The man I bought it from put the Girsan and the Beretta next to each other and demonstrated that it accepted the magazines. The Girsan Regard Mc actually had a better finish than the Beretta. I’m at 200 rounds into the break in period and it’s been flawless.
Forgot to mention I own to regard MCs one full size in FDE one compact in Black. The only thing I changed on them were the grips (which took some fitting) and so I could use my USGI Surplus M9 magazine the slide release lever, changed that to a Beretta 92fs M9 release so Beretta magazine especially usgi magazines so the slide will lock open after the last round, with the stock unit it would not hold back only with the magazines that came with it not Beretta mags. Now instead of spending $35 on a Girsan magazines I can get a $10 new in the rap usgi magazine that'll work perfectly fine, all mags function and lock back 100% now.
I don't consider the Canik (which I have as well as a Glock 17) to be a budget gun. It is well built has a bunch of nice features and is a great shooter with an incredible trigger. I would rather think of it as a "cost effective" pistol. You get a lot of bang for the buck!
Add Tisas Zigana to the list. My model "K" , DA/SA is an excellent handgun for $229. (pre pandemic) Also, the Sar 9 frame safety does break in with time. I've wiggled it on and off a few hundred times to clean up the stiffness.
I currently have 6 Turkey guns. Sarsilmaz K12, B6 and just got the CM9. TriStar T-120, Stoeger STR 9 and the Girsan 28 SA T with red dot. I really like them all (and I'm a .40 S&W guy). I do plan on getting some more Turkey guns, really liking the looks of the P8L.
I have 2 Girsan MC's (Beretta clones) one is full sized the other is the compact (centurion size). I paid about $350 two years ago for the full size and a couple of months ago $475 for the compact. They are both outstanding weapons. The full-size can still be had for around 350 if you hunt them down. I believe the compact is more expensive because it's a specialty version of it and they are far fewer of them on the market they are very hard to find. There is a version of the compact with the frame mounted safety and no decocker but I was not interested in that. Another reason why I wasn't interested in it was because that the grip was actually part of the backstrap, so once you remove the grip there was no back strap you could not use conventional grips on it.
Nice line up!! I have both your number 1 & 2. Canick is my favorite by a slim margin. That trigger! Was looking at the Regard clone but dissapeared from shelves last year.🤣🤣
Great review. I own two of those Regard, Canik mod2, plus the SAR B6P which is the less expensive of the three. Like you, I also own more expensive guns, but I find myself shooting these more than any other....they are just amazing guns...and the trigger on the Canik and reset is just exceptional. My SAR B6P, its just a tank like its dad the CZ 75, but lighter, so I dont get as tired in a long range session. Awesome great quality guns.
You guys make me really want to seek one of those new Regard pistols from Girsan. I have their 1911. It’s pretty sweet. The double action pull on the B6P is like 2 miles of hard labor. But the accuracy of that a CZ75 format is undeniable in the inexpensive pistol.
Both are fantastic… The trigger on the Canik is top notch and shoots amazing… Ill never part with it even though I dont shoot it often… The Regard is equally amazing… If you like Berettas, you will love the Regard… Trigger is heavier than the Canik but its just as accurate as a Beretta… Steel vs Polymer… You decide… Im very glad I have both and they are two guns Ill always keep
Hello Fellow Enthusiast. Great video. Keep it up. I have the Canik and the Sar 9. Both excellent. Sar needed 124gr at first to be reliable, but now runs everything. You can dramatically improve the Sar trigger with a no-disassemble polish of the striker block plunger and its contact with the trigger assembly.
I own the Girsan MC28 SA (the model w/o the red dot) and love it. And I agree about the grip being a tad smooth. I use talon grip tape on most of my guns but only place it on the front and back of the grips like you find on 1911's. I do not like any on the sides, just doesn't feel necessary to have them there (for me).
I purchased a Stoeger STR9 but mine only came with one magazine. I'm not unhappy with the gun itself, and was even able to fully load the 15 rounds with the help of a loader tool that came with it - this seems to get easier as the spring gets compressed and used. My main complaint is that I cannot find additional magazines ANYWHERE. They just can not be found for love or money and nothing else is compatible with it. I'm actually considering a Girsan 9mm which seems similar but I can actually get additional magazines for it. Stoeger really needs to fix the magazine supply issue!
@@gunsammodrones I did check Gunbroker.com - and it doesn't appear that they have the magazines. I already have the weapon, and the package that came with 3 mags was not available, so I only have the one. Mine is the full frame pistol, so the compact 10 and 13 round magazines don't fit it.
I didnt see the 10 or 13… I just checked again and the mags are available… There are a few pages of STR 9 pistols and the mags are mixed in with them… I literally just checked right now… 18 round and 30 round
Great review! I love good value/budget pistols and Turkish ones are on top of my list I have three of the five you reviewed. I just purchased a Sar9 and tried to run some blazer 115 gr through i couldn’t get through a magazine without a FtF or FtE. I’m thinking I may need to run hotter ammo due to the beefier internals but I hope I didn’t get a lemon. Everything I’ve read about these are that they run flawlessly - so hoping it just needs to be broken in with something a little heavier than 115. Thoughts ?
I had it out today and wondered if maybe they make a lighter recoil spring... The recoil spring is pretty stiff...115’s are probably too small... I guess Ill need to get some 124’s...
Guns, Ammo & Drones update: ran couple hundred 124 grain ammo through the sar9 and switched to 115 grain wolf ammo. Not a single hiccup. The one thing I did is kept the slide locked back for a couple days before running it again and it’s now running flawlessly.
@@HSA-ug7qp I pretty much do that for all the Turkish pistols then I can run anything in them after!!! I also love that the canik as well as others are built to run nato spec ammo for a very high round count, cause they last forever! Canik runs their's to 60k rds of nato ammo and then they still pass nato accuracy specs!!! I have a feeling most of the Turkish manufacturers do similarly!!!
Just bought a Girson just waiting for my permit to be processed (NewJersey). I do own SAR CM9 that I do like! Can't wait to get my hands on the Girson!
@@gunsammodrones the only thing I don't like about the CM9 is that there's no decocker, but she's so sweet to shoot. The slide sits in the frame instead of on it very accurate. The ergonomics of the gun is outstanding! Very comfortable to shoot.
@@gunsammodrones just switched the Girsan out for a 2 tone. It's so nice looking! I can't get the pistol yet because of New F'ling Jersey gun laws. I might get it in a couple months. My gun dealer is cool as hell man. I've bought 6 guns off him and he gave me the same price and didn't complain.
@@gunsammodrones My issue is finding a 10 round mag before purchasing. Doesn't look like that mag can be pinned and New York doesn't allow round count over 10 So I'm a little hesitant. If I can find a 10 round to buy I'll pick it up The Regard MC sold out on Sportsmans Outdoor superstore. Great video though 👏🏾
@@gunsammodrones GREATLY appreciated. I'll check it out now Normally a little reluctant with online purchases but seems you trust that site. I will give it a shot
Its a cool looking pistol... It is like a cross between the MC28 and an IWI Masada... I like it... Its not listed on Gunbroker yet but Ill check it out... Thanks
I have the ST9. It's a very well made gun. Mine came with 3 mags, a mag loader, extra rear grip inserts, etc... What I don't like and you did not mention, is that the mags do not drop free... Loaded or unloaded. There's ribs in the mag well that keep the mags from dropping free. It's a minor inconvenience. I would only use this gun for target practice and for self-defense only if it's all I had available because of the mags.
IMO anyone would be hard pressed to find a polymer strikerfired pistol that offers the quality of construction, reliability, and level of ergonomics that Canik brings to the table. To be fair Canik did clone what I feel is one of the top polymer pistols on the market; the PPQ by Walther. What's even more crazy is that the trigger is equally as refined as the Walther if not better and comes in at a pricepoint that will allow you more ammo to practice with upon initial purchase than the Walther does. The other thing that Canik did right is it borrowed the full package concept that Springfield Armory used when they first brought the XD line of pistols to market. They include a rudimentary cleaning kit, tools, a paddle style poly holster, bore lock, additional grip modules, and more than one magazine. If you get an Elite series the package will include spare fiber optic rods in two colors and it all comes in a lockable and somewhat well made hardshell carrying case with formed insert that organizes everything neatly. Depending on the model of TP9 you get will dictate what comes in the box, but still for the retail price (which until you get into the Salient Arms collaborations) remains sub-400 dollars making it IMO the best value on the market for a first time pistol owner/concealed carrier. They do not have to rush out to purchase additional items such as a belt and holster to start carrying. I see arguments in the comment section where people say they won't own a firearm manufactured in Turkey because of the country's political state. Honestly, I could care less what the governmental and political views are of a country of origin of a firearms manufacturer. If a company makes a proven firearm at an impeccable value that will serve its intended purpose undoubtedly, then I am going to buy it and carry it. The only politics that I take into account when it comes to protecting my family and my life is the preservation of the 2nd Amendment; case closed. That is why I just put a TP9 Executive Combat Elite in lay-away. If you thought the regular SFX Elite was a great pistol with a phenomenal trigger you haven't shot the Executive Combat Elite yet! IMO it is the pinnacle of what a 650 dollar pistol is supposed to be. There is not a Glock on the market that comes anywhere near it in a stock format, and to make a Glock that could compare would cost you close to 2k and a great deal of time away from your sidearm. Your pistol would have more frequent flyer miles than you 🤣😂🤣! Just saying.
I agree with you… The Canik feels great, shoots great and is a very quality firearm… Im ok with buying a Turkish firearm afterall, China, who is a much bigger threat than Turkey, makes most of the horseshit products we use daily anyway… People still buy that crap… At least I have quality firearms… I cant imagine China making a good gun… haha
Nice review sir I actually own Girsan 16 , stoger and tisas zigana Nice guns recently I bought FXS9 👍 very strong pistol I used different types of ammo on it high low ammo and no issue with that 17 round magazine it's new product from Turkey Please make review on FXS-9 you will definitely like this new pistol. Thanks love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
The Regard isn't a clone. It's Girsans take on a Beretta based on features the Turkish military, police, and other nato entities over there wanted. I read that Girsan is ISO and NATO certified and they have rights to make that gun and to modify it as needed for the nato contracts.
I have 2 of these guns and love them. I have 3 Caniks and if I could only have one gun it would be the TP9SF Elite. I take these over my Walther, Sig, S&W and Beretta. They are affordable but I certainly don't consider them "budget". The quality, ergonomics and reliability are there. For those who don't want to buy from Turkey these companies are privately owned and Turkey still is a NATO partner. Quit buying Chinese products, they are our enemy and also have human rights issues..........
Agree with you... Budget certainly doesnt mean cheap or junk and only refers to cost of purchase over more well known handguns... Budget in the Caniks case is a great thing... The Canik has one of the best triggers on the market and from what I can tell, the quickest reset... Shoots great, reliable, accurate and gives all these 500+ guns a run for their money...
In general, I love Turkish Firearms, but I don't like the STOEGER. They should have stuck with Shotguns. Stick with GIRSAN, TISAS, SAR (Sarsilmaz) & CANIK.
Year 2021, almost 2022 ... Under $500 choices? Your opinion Beretta ? Canik ? EAA or Girsan ? SAR ? Tisas ? etc.... I am open to any brand, just looking for a dependable and affordable gun in 9mm. Not for concealed carry so I would prefer a barrel length over 4 inches. I appreciate your reviews that I have seen and would much appreciate your opinion if you could give me at least 3-5 top choices
Sar 9 for sure… The Beretta APX is a yes… Any used Glock 9mm you can find would be an awesome buy if under $500… Canik sure would be a good choice… Your $500 budget allows for many choices… Lets say you cant find a Glock, then the Sar 9 would be my #1, APX would be #2, Canik would be #3, Girsan would be up there at #5 and if you can find a used M&P 2.0, that would be #4… I love all my pistols I just mentioned and I could be biased a bit… I might get crap for this but I finally got to shoot my Stoeger STR-9 and I love it… Shoots more comfortably than my Glock 17… You can find them under $400 I think… Good hunting
The Sar9 has a shit trigger and a tight recoil spring but is the most comfortable gun I own… Hands down an awesome gun to shoot… Super low bore axis which I find perfect for me… I love the 2 tone look also…
Good video, I really like a few guns that are coming out of 🇹🇷. I've had a couple bad experiences with eaa so I won't buy anything that eaa has to offer anymore. When it comes to these guns from 🇹🇷alot of them are great but if you get a 🍋 from eaa it seems to be that your stuck with it. Customer service is really bad with this importer.
@@gunsammodrones mine to several one's even one's from eaa. I'm having a go around with them at the moment over one gun that I've sent back twice now needing a 3rd time with them sending the same gun back to me saying it's been shot and fixed but haven't fixed it yet. I don't care that it's a budget gun ,got more than a few but that's not the case. Service should be a lot better than it is that's what I'm saying.
I ordered 4 spare mags for the MC28SA and one of them was in new packaging, but clearly was used. I called the importer and the lady basically said use it and see if it works. Crappy customer service.
@@gunsammodrones thanks... I just found out an article that shows the cz75 15 rd mags fit but the mag release cut out need to be enlarged (dremmel) to the bottom by 1mm.
*Turkey is seizing opportunity here in America, where our regulation restricted firearm industry, has become overpriced, lacks pride in craftsmanship, and is fading away.* *I haven't seen any Turkish firearm come in that's a P.O.S., and I sure cant say that about the U.S. manufacturers. (Think Remington, etc.)* *12:43**; I take it you don't own a PPQ M1. (my ccw) - And that's the pistol that has a lot in common with these. (sort of like PPQ / Glock / HK hybrids).* *Also; perfect stippling, as you do not want texture impeding your trigger finger & thumb, to retrieve your firearm from concealment.* *6:30** This pistol could easily be custom stippled in those textured areas, (melting method) but I wouldn't touch the smooth spots.* *The design may be for those who prefer no stippling, which depends on one's philosophy of use.* *These pistols have many ergonomic features, and it seams to me that none of the design dynamics were coincidental, but operationally well thought out.* *Cool video showcasing these five very overlooked pistols......Thanks!* *Thumbs up # 181*
I really like the Canik but I dont have a K2... I have an ST45 and a SAR 9... I do like the Sar 9 better over the Canik... Trigger is far better on the Canik but the feel of the Sar9 blows almost any gun I own away...
@@gunsammodrones I'm telling i found so many great gun companies this year buddy.....what's up rock island, canik, sar9, smith and wesson running shit this year far as handguns goes for affordable but just pure awesomeness
In pakistan a Glock 17 or 19 cost 3000$ Sig sauer or HK cost more then 5000$ ... But you can have very nice A+ copies of any gun for Under 300$ ...... If u can't have it u can make it your own 😁😁😁😁😁

I have the ST9. It's a very well made gun. Mine came with 3 mags, a mag loader, extra rear grip inserts, etc... What I don't like and you did not mention, is that the mags do not drop free... Loaded or unloaded. There's ribs in the mag well that keep the mags from dropping free. It's a minor inconvenience. I would only use this gun for target practice and for self-defense only if it's all I had available because of the mags.
Ive heard of the mag issues but mine dont have that issue... I dont think so anyway... Ill need to go check now...
The SAR 9 and ST9 are two different guns... The SAR 9 doesnt have the mag issues like the ST9... I have the ST45 also and no mag issues there
IMO anyone would be hard pressed to find a polymer strikerfired pistol that offers the quality of construction, reliability, and level of ergonomics that Canik brings to the table. To be fair Canik did clone what I feel is one of the top polymer pistols on the market; the PPQ by Walther. What's even more crazy is that the trigger is equally as refined as the Walther if not better and comes in at a pricepoint that will allow you more ammo to practice with upon initial purchase than the Walther does.
The other thing that Canik did right is it borrowed the full package concept that Springfield Armory used when they first brought the XD line of pistols to market. They include a rudimentary cleaning kit, tools, a paddle style poly holster, bore lock, additional grip modules, and more than one magazine. If you get an Elite series the package will include spare fiber optic rods in two colors and it all comes in a lockable and somewhat well made hardshell carrying case with formed insert that organizes everything neatly.
Depending on the model of TP9 you get will dictate what comes in the box, but still for the retail price (which until you get into the Salient Arms collaborations) remains sub-400 dollars making it IMO the best value on the market for a first time pistol owner/concealed carrier. They do not have to rush out to purchase additional items such as a belt and holster to start carrying.
I see arguments in the comment section where people say they won't own a firearm manufactured in Turkey because of the country's political state. Honestly, I could care less what the governmental and political views are of a country of origin of a firearms manufacturer. If a company makes a proven firearm at an impeccable value that will serve its intended purpose undoubtedly, then I am going to buy it and carry it. The only politics that I take into account when it comes to protecting my family and my life is the preservation of the 2nd Amendment; case closed. That is why I just put a TP9 Executive Combat Elite in lay-away. If you thought the regular SFX Elite was a great pistol with a phenomenal trigger you haven't shot the Executive Combat Elite yet! IMO it is the pinnacle of what a 650 dollar pistol is supposed to be. There is not a Glock on the market that comes anywhere near it in a stock format, and to make a Glock that could compare would cost you close to 2k and a great deal of time away from your sidearm. Your pistol would have more frequent flyer miles than you 🤣😂🤣! Just saying.
I agree with you… The Canik feels great, shoots great and is a very quality firearm… Im ok with buying a Turkish firearm afterall, China, who is a much bigger threat than Turkey, makes most of the horseshit products we use daily anyway… People still buy that crap… At least I have quality firearms… I cant imagine China making a good gun… haha
I have. Grisan Mc28sa TX I haven’t seen that kind around on TH-cam what is the Tx for I see a lot of T but no TX what does it mean 😭
Its a tactical variant with a really cool titanium color frame… really nice looking
Nice review sir I actually own Girsan 16 , stoger and tisas zigana Nice guns recently I bought FXS9 👍 very strong pistol I used different types of ammo on it high low ammo and no issue with that 17 round magazine it's new product from Turkey
Please make review on FXS-9 you will definitely like this new pistol.
Thanks love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you… Ill look at that pistol

What do you think of the girsan mc 21? I have one of these and I like it mine dose not have the ported barrel or holes in the slide
I have no experience with the 21, but Im sure its similar to the 28...
My stoger9c is a winner!1500 rounds, no.jams,I have not cleaned it.
👍🏼
1.Canik 2 .sarsilmaz 3.tisaş 4. girsan Türkiye markası tüm markaları güvenle kullan hepsi süper tabanca 💥🔥🇹🇷
Canik great 👍
I just got the MC28 unfired for 300$ love it already.
Hell yeah great price
@@gunsammodrones hey ?
Im brand new to drones whats a gd entry level drone.
Any DJI drone will serve you well… They are the best on the market but of course, they arent the only ones…
The Regard isn't a clone. It's Girsans take on a Beretta based on features the Turkish military, police, and other nato entities over there wanted. I read that Girsan is ISO and NATO certified and they have rights to make that gun and to modify it as needed for the nato contracts.
Ok
I have 2 of these guns and love them. I have 3 Caniks and if I could only have one gun it would be the TP9SF Elite. I take these over my Walther, Sig, S&W and Beretta. They are affordable but I certainly don't consider them "budget". The quality, ergonomics and reliability are there. For those who don't want to buy from Turkey these companies are privately owned and Turkey still is a NATO partner. Quit buying Chinese products, they are our enemy and also have human rights issues..........
Agree with you... Budget certainly doesnt mean cheap or junk and only refers to cost of purchase over more well known handguns... Budget in the Caniks case is a great thing... The Canik has one of the best triggers on the market and from what I can tell, the quickest reset... Shoots great, reliable, accurate and gives all these 500+ guns a run for their money...
Chinese is not our enemy .... They make great products we can all afford
@@mchammer3927 You're delusional they are the enemy of the whole world.
China is absolutely an enemy of the US despite making affordable junk...
@@mchammer3927 Chinese is one of the biggest enemies
In general, I love Turkish Firearms, but I don't like the STOEGER. They should have stuck with Shotguns.
Stick with GIRSAN, TISAS, SAR (Sarsilmaz) & CANIK.
Year 2021, almost 2022 ... Under $500 choices? Your opinion Beretta ? Canik ? EAA or Girsan ? SAR ? Tisas ? etc....
I am open to any brand, just looking for a dependable and affordable gun in 9mm. Not for concealed carry so I would prefer a barrel length over 4 inches.
I appreciate your reviews that I have seen and would much appreciate your opinion if you could give me at least 3-5 top choices
Sar 9 for sure… The Beretta APX is a yes… Any used Glock 9mm you can find would be an awesome buy if under $500… Canik sure would be a good choice… Your $500 budget allows for many choices… Lets say you cant find a Glock, then the Sar 9 would be my #1, APX would be #2, Canik would be #3, Girsan would be up there at #5 and if you can find a used M&P 2.0, that would be #4… I love all my pistols I just mentioned and I could be biased a bit… I might get crap for this but I finally got to shoot my Stoeger STR-9 and I love it… Shoots more comfortably than my Glock 17… You can find them under $400 I think… Good hunting
@@gunsammodrones Awesome thanks for your opinion!
The girsan has a different locking block than the Beretta
Just a slight difference but not noticeable
TP9 or SAR9? Which one would you choose if you have to get one?
Sar9 hands down
@@gunsammodrones just out of curiosity, why the sar9 over the canik tp9?
The Sar9 has a shit trigger and a tight recoil spring but is the most comfortable gun I own… Hands down an awesome gun to shoot… Super low bore axis which I find perfect for me… I love the 2 tone look also…
If you were only going to keep two of the polymer pistols…which two would you choose?
Thats easy… Sar 9 100% and the Girsan Regard… Both are amazing in quality, feel and price… You get alot for your money…
Would you try and do a top five hammer fire under $500 ?
I can def do one of those…
Your SAR9 is the GEN 3 model correct?
There are no mentions or markings indicating a gen3 model… Nothing on the Sar website either concerning gen 3
My Love is Girsan MC 9S
do you know if all the magazine are
compatible?
Not sure I understand what you are trying to convey
Good video, I really like a few guns that are coming out of 🇹🇷. I've had a couple bad experiences with eaa so I won't buy anything that eaa has to offer anymore. When it comes to these guns from 🇹🇷alot of them are great but if you get a 🍋 from eaa it seems to be that your stuck with it. Customer service is really bad with this importer.
Yeah, my importers have been great so far with no issues… Lucky maybe???
@@gunsammodrones mine to several one's even one's from eaa. I'm having a go around with them at the moment over one gun that I've sent back twice now needing a 3rd time with them sending the same gun back to me saying it's been shot and fixed but haven't fixed it yet. I don't care that it's a budget gun ,got more than a few but that's not the case. Service should be a lot better than it is that's what I'm saying.
Totally agree with you
Str9 inside is a Glock 19 copy, love my Str9 works great
It does share some similarities but it is not a copy...
I love my Canik tp9sf elite. Next on my list is the sar 9
The Sar 9 is a must have gun... Dont get the ST9 though... Its nice but nowhere near nice as the Sar9
Right there with you on the elite!!!
Is the SAR9 the same as the SAR CM9?
No. Two very different guns
I ordered 4 spare mags for the MC28SA and one of them was in new packaging, but clearly was used. I called the importer and the lady basically said use it and see if it works. Crappy customer service.
Yeah that sucks... Hopefully it works
Where did you order your mags?? How much they usually run? I read somewhere the m&p 4.25 9mm magazines work but i have no way of confirming it.
Gunbroker.com is my go to online supplier but I have noticed lately they dont have as many sellers as they used to
M&P mags only work in M&P... I just tried
@@gunsammodrones thanks... I just found out an article that shows the cz75 15 rd mags fit but the mag release cut out need to be enlarged (dremmel) to the bottom by 1mm.
If you are going to buy one which one is it?
Sar 9 hands down
Why? I thought you said the Canik has a great trigger
I prefer grip comfort over trigger…
@@gunsammodrones
Thank you! That’s a big help! Especially when budget is very tight!
nice
Thank you
YOU are welcome… 👍🏼
Subbed!

*Turkey is seizing opportunity here in America, where our regulation restricted firearm industry, has become overpriced, lacks pride in craftsmanship, and is fading away.*
*I haven't seen any Turkish firearm come in that's a P.O.S., and I sure cant say that about the U.S. manufacturers. (Think Remington, etc.)*
*12:43**; I take it you don't own a PPQ M1. (my ccw) - And that's the pistol that has a lot in common with these. (sort of like PPQ / Glock / HK hybrids).*
*Also; perfect stippling, as you do not want texture impeding your trigger finger & thumb, to retrieve your firearm from concealment.*
*6:30** This pistol could easily be custom stippled in those textured areas, (melting method) but I wouldn't touch the smooth spots.*
*The design may be for those who prefer no stippling, which depends on one's philosophy of use.*
*These pistols have many ergonomic features, and it seams to me that none of the design dynamics were coincidental, but operationally well thought out.*
*Cool video showcasing these five very overlooked pistols......Thanks!*
*Thumbs up # 181*
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Do you like the Canik or Sar k2 Better?
I really like the Canik but I dont have a K2... I have an ST45 and a SAR 9... I do like the Sar 9 better over the Canik... Trigger is far better on the Canik but the feel of the Sar9 blows almost any gun I own away...
@@gunsammodrones Thank you!
Thank you for the video I enjoyed it
Glad to hear it Thank you
You make great promotional videos, thank you.
👍🏼
Guys pls don't shoot each other, and i think Tisas deserve a bit more credit. Hi from Turkey
Tisas makes some really nice guns...
Aluminum frame steel slide
Only the Regard is steel frame
TP9SF is sweet.
You bet
Love my zigana px 9
My sar9 is amazing I love it! It's my everyday carry gun and pretty much my bitch lol.
You know it... Great gun
@@gunsammodrones I'm telling i found so many great gun companies this year buddy.....what's up rock island, canik, sar9, smith and wesson running shit this year far as handguns goes for affordable but just pure awesomeness
I don't see what you mean??
These guns are better than that cheap crap Glock that doesnt offer anything and cant innovate
Glocks arent cheap and they dont have to innovate…
@@gunsammodrones yeah keep sayin that to yourself
I will
You need to discover Turkish food , you will be more amazed Go to Istanbul bud
In my country (Pakistan) these turkish guns cost 1000$ some times more then 1000$ ..... In US these Turkish guns are fucking cheap ....
Your country makes a hell of a pistol
In pakistan a Glock 17 or 19 cost 3000$ Sig sauer or HK cost more then 5000$ ... But you can have very nice A+ copies of any gun for Under 300$ ...... If u can't have it u can make it your own 😁😁😁😁😁
Thats crazy…
