- We take the popular Century Arms Canik TP9 SF pistol out and run it through the Gauntlet. How does it stack up as compared to other handguns we've run through the same test? Yes said "SA" in the video because I'm a dummy.

I recently bought a Canik TP9SF in Desert Tan finish. I absolutely LOVE this pistol! Great price point, better trigger than a stock Glock (IMO), it looks damn cool, and has some nice specs from the factory! I'm hoping to see more aftermarket parts become available for this gun!
What do you think about canik polimer reliable or not because Glock polimer quality prove the durability
Man, I love these videos. Currently they're my favorite video series on TH-cam. I'd like to see a rerun of the P320, and really looking forward to seeing the PX4 and a 1911..
Very interesting and well conducted test, as usual! I have an original first generation Canik TP9 and I still love it!
Have been carrying and shooting it for a couple of years now. I also and operate some more expensive handguns, so my choice of it is more personal preference, than economic necessity.
Regurdless of the test i highly doubt that i will ever have to use my gun with mud, sand, ect on it so overall the canik is a good gun and has much higher quality than its worth so 🤷🏾♂️
True and anyway it’s a military standard weapon and first rule for every soldier KEEP YOUR WEAPON CLEAN so it’s a damn good weapon .
Exactly, I love my SF
Bounty Hunter Dre me too! I got mine not too long ago and love shooting it, only about 1k rounds through it though.
Just Bought a TP9 SFT, glad to see that it's pretty reliable. Thanks man!
What????
The test at the end with the water drying was the best part!
The culmination of friction added from the water and drying off really makes a difference. I don't think we always realize how much CLP or any other lube penetrates into the pores of the metal to provide a slick surface.
Thank God for people willing to do this to firearms keep up the good work learned a lot from this video
Tim, you gotta do a Magnum Research Desert Eagle .50 AE. Bonus points for a gold plated one.
I always give pause to these kinds of tests. I think a lot of it is just luck of the draw. If a particle gets into the wrong place, any gun will stop working. It is entertaining though.
Would tend to agree as these tests go on
Very true. But some pistols have clearly been shown to tolerate dirt and debris more than others over the years
I agree 100% Just like with the Vp9. There is a place on the slide where there is a cutout on nearly all striker fired pistols. It relieves an ear on the trigger bar and works as an out-of-battery safety and disconnects the trigger. If that cutout gets filled with mud, the trigger is ultimately disconnected and thats what happened here. The same with the Vp9. Like is said this design carries over on a ton of pistols that he's tested but we haven't seen it happen to very many of them. This goes to show its a chance of luck that this happens to these guns and any gun at any moment is susceptible to it.
True
I wouldn't expect any weapon to function with crap jammed into the mechanical works. Rule number one keep your weapon clean. And Mac if your in a scuffle your HTH.
You don't seem very enthused in this video. It must be boring and repetitive to keep doing these test. What you are doing though is highly important to us gunners in a big way! Just like tnoutdoors9 and shootingthebull410 did for bullet technology you are doing for gun reliability. From myself and thousands of others we thank you for doing something so important for the world of self defense.
No this is nothing like the tests done by tnoutdoors9 and shootingthebull410. Tim admits that his videos are pure entertainment and not to make any judgments based upon them. Those guys do their best to make their tests as scientifically valid as possible and their results are meant to be depended on and are valid, it's not even close.
CCW1911 it's the same exact thing and they give the same disclaimers.
Excellent video, really enjoy the Canik line and can't wait to pick up another one up here shortly. Thanks for another great video!
thanks for the test, I've been wanting to see a MAC quality test on the tp9. I would say that even though it failed the gauntlet, I think it's a pretty well built gun
Really surprised by this test... I've put over a 1,000 rounds through mine and its been flawless. I rarely clean it and have tried all different kinds of ammo, these buggers just eat everything. High quality and have an excellent trigger. One of the nicest I've ever felt. You can't beat them for the value I paid $350 for mine. This is my bedside table gun and would trust my life to it. Don't sell this thing short unless you plan on dropping it in a swamp...
This series is the best value in the current market, hands down.
thank you for all the hard work guys.
Hey MAC - Nice shirt! Nice to see our 2A TH-camrs sharing the love.
He said compared to hi point. It compared well to M&P 2.0. and someother higher priced firearms. Canik and Taurus guns outperform better regarded guns in test and still get compared to lower quality firearms . Puzzling
For the final stage, a mixed 50 rd ammo test. Using all kinds of brands, weights, round nose and hp, velocity, etc. Run the elements test, the gauntlet, then 4 mags of random. That'd be neat.
love this firearm I have it in black with the Warren blacked out rear. 650 rds thru mine no problems. great video Tim! MAC is great!
best testing on TH-cam thanks for the time effort and money you put into this!
Thanks for watching.
Keep em coming. Love the vids. I'm curious how the new beretta apx will do, or a CZ or USP.
MAC. Thank you for all your work. Really learn a lot from all your videos.
Thank you for watching!
Agreed, too bad this comment section is inundated with people's political perspectives instead of focusing on the knowledge Tim was sharing.
Military Arms Channel Any plans on testing the SA or Elite model. Or How about a Gen 1 TP9?
Raymond Nelson: Jesus Christ I guess so!, I don't know why a guy trying to make a legitimate gun test which is what this TH-cam channel is for, degenerates into a ignorant snafu fubar klusterfuk 😡 It disrespects an honest effort by a knowledgeable person to distribute facts and knowledge of a weapon system to what he hopes are people who want to learn! Can't imagine what he thinks when he read some of the comments. Keep it up though Tim, some of us subscribers are actually learning something, thank you😀!
Yeah, unfortunate that people can't just be civil and leave the politics out of this. There is a time and a place but it's not on this channel.
@Raymond Nelson and Thomas Schoon
Cheers and wish you the best
Mac we support what you doing keep up the good work!!
Thanks for all the work you put into these videos, great stuff!
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Do you have any spreadsheet that details the results of each of your tests side by side? I think that would be super helpful!
I'm surprised, but not surprised at the same time. Your average shooter will only be taking it to the range, shooting it, and putting back in the case anyway. It is always interesting to see the results of these test though!
Great video, Tim & Connor. The Canik TP series isn't a Glock, but at approx $350+/- it is one heck of a value for not only the new shooter, but a value minded prepper. Keep up the great work.
Politics aside, these are great pistols. Not just "for the money," but very nice pistols in their own right. Sorry to see it didn't do well in the gauntlet, but that's why you do it. Thanks for the tests, looking forward to the next one.
cz 75 reliability test!
Doesn't seem to be in the cards. I don't think he wants to spoil his relationship with cz.
HOOSIER SHOOTER I would love to see that.
absolutely
I think Tim is scared to run his CZ.
could be.... or he has run it and doesn't want to show the results.
I'd love to see a S&W SD (9/40) VE put to the test. I think "high quality /priced " guns should be put to the test as well as "cheaper " entry level aka lower cost.
Tim, love these videos! I was interested how the test affected the Canik's excellent trigger? You didn't address that during that at all in the video. Can't wait for the test on the CZ P-10C! Keep slinging lead!
I have one of these and a Elite for my EDC. Both have been great.
My canik has been 100 percent perfect.
Hey, MAC, I have a USP .45C, a P30L 9mm, and an HK45. If you want to do a test on any of those I'd be happy to temporarily donate one and let you guys beat it up. I live in Indiana, just south of Indianapolis, so driving up to you folks wouldn't be a problem at all.
I mean, you DID say to donate a pistol if I wanted it tested. I'm being totally serious. If that remark was just sarcasm, I apologize but if you'd like to beat up another HK then I'm game!
Donate your P30L. I am curious about that one.
Rich J I'd be more than happy to. If MAC wants to test one of my pistols then I'd be pretty excited to see what it can and can't do. I have a feeling the HK45 and p30 would have a slight hiccup on the standard tests and fail the gauntlet on the mud.
P30! Love the USP .45 but if you've read the reliability testing they did in development. Gave it to contractors instead of hammers, drug it behind a vehicle, ran it over etc.
SaintClutch everything is fun and games until you put it in sand or mud.
HAHA... Rinse your Canik off... had a little laugh there MAC.
Great test. Love your channel.
Last year I bought the Canik TP9SF Elite-s. It is a great weapon for the price and comes with everything you need.
You forgot the Canik TP9V2. Has the double-strike capability like the original, but uses SA/SF magazines. Own it. Love it. Canik makes a fine handgun!
The striker's impact wasn't the problem. It just wouldn't move. Double strike wasn't going to fix that. It was cocked and ready, but frozen.
Mac do the Shield 9mm. Lots of people carry that gun.
10liberty There was another firearms youtuber who did Macs test on a shield.
Which guy?
Was it Honest Outlaw Reviews?
I carry the Smith and Wesson shield in 9mm, and I am a guy.
Love to see a stock G19 Gen 3 or a 1911 tested. Love these videos, keep it up guys!!
When we moved to Prescott, AZ last year and I was a cable to buy a Canik (We escaped CA) I chose CANIK as my personal license plate for my van!
I'd be interested to see how the S&W SD9VE would fair in this test.
Just watch a Glock torture test since it’s copy of their design the results should be fairly similar... S&W even lost a court case and owe Glock royalties on every SD9VE and SD40VE they sold/sell since the mid 90s
I think the sd40ve would do better. Only because the sd9ve is pretty tightly sprung. My friend has one and the rounds just kind of fall out. Unless he's firing hot ammo. Not a real powerful ejection. The sd40ve uses the same recoil spring. So it has a lot more slide velocity and can overcome dirt and grime in the action more easily imo.
@@joes.7536 no the sd40ve is one of the fucking worse firearms I had the displeasure of firing. It jammed on everything you feed it, no joke never made it through mag. Easiest sale I've ever seen.
ImDønêCårîng same here, i got mine back in 2009 and it jammed all the time, it stole the design of the glock, but not the functionality
_ Red thats true however having owned thr 2009 sd9ve it stove piped alot, it stole from the glocks design, but the insides were def not as well made and up to par with the glock
good stuff
I do think that the SF Elite would fare better due to its different take down procedure. For the fact that a firing pin sheared off before 1000 rounds puts it on our "not-so-happy" list. We would love to see an APX reliability test next Tim... Great Job!
Keep up with the reliability tests. I have a feeling we are hopefully going to see a lot of reliability tests this year.
you should do a gauntlet test on lubricants, use the canik or s&w put lube on them hose them off let them dry and see which ones hold up
That's not a bad idea.
The FireClean fanboys are going to have a pissy-party!
Seriously though, I use FireClean but my go-to is CLP and Gunslick Pro Ultra-Lube. Would like to see a lubricants test.
Fireclean is a hoax. It's just vegetable oil.
*edit
I have sometimes used vegetable oil as a firearms lubricant, aka FireClean. Happy?
I'd like to 2nd this motion. It seems as though the CLP washes away very quickly when fully immersed in water. At that point it's more of a test of which gun can run with only water for lubrication while being subjected to sand, dirt, and mud. Most guns are designed to run with a lower coefficient of friction provided by some sort of lube and when you run them completely dry or with just water it can raise the coefficient of friction enough that it's outside the tolerance range for reliable function even before adding sand, dirt, and mud. I think I'd prefer to see an oil type lube that could hold up through these tests because I believe it would be more representative of what most people use but with the repeated water submersion a grease might be required to make it all of the way through the test.
Can we see a test of Communist War Proof side arms like the Tokerov, Makerov and CZ VZ-52 pistol?
yay mac thank you so much as you can tell I've been waiting for this review for awhile lol.
You might need bigger trays, but I would love to see a Kriss Vector run the gauntlet.
As usual, excellent content!
We want to see you do your CZ carry pistol!
He did it failed big time!!!!!
Beretta APX reliability test!?
me too!
It will not be decisive, it is not scientific, but if you are (like me) undecided between Apx, p-10c p320... this test is soo helpful
Stefano Mapo I got an APX last week, I really really dig it!
Tim said he has this in the works. I'm excited about seeing that one too!
i like it, but with p320 p-10c...is soo hard take a decision, all very good guns, maybe this test on cz p 10 c, apx... can give me a definitive imput
Stefano Mapo Well shoot, might as well get em all hah. The sig is alright, trigger was nice. APX frame swap is a pain in the neck, but I don't plan in swapping the frame all that much.
Another great video. You might wanna try the TP9SF Elite as well. they fixed some reliability issues, especially in regard to the trigger reset and double feed. Also the tungsten slide and match grade CHF barrel are fantastic in the the Elite model.
Another potential torture test would be the Beretta 92fs clone, the Girsan Regard MC from Zenith. About 200$ cheaper than the beretta 92fs, but has a cold hammer forged barrel 😏
Love these test.
How about we all donate a dollar and get Mac a quality rain jacket?
walther p99as Gauntlet test please
I'd love to see a Makarov go through it.
Ben Pritchard watch his Makarov torture test video. Amazing
I've seen them. I'd love to see one go through these tests though. It'd be interesting.
Damn fine guns
He did one in an old video. I believe it was a Bulgarian mak.
Sweet im one of the first fews! love the channel! LOVE these tests! Cant wait to see a USP or P30 (my carry gun) or XDM! xoxoxo lol Also wouldnt mind a redo on the Rex, but im sure you know that :P
I just bought one last week and I love this gun.
Love to see these guns go through his test multiple times. A terrible gun could make it through the gauntlet on chance. And a really good one could fail they for sand particle happened to fall in the right place. Running at multiple times for each gun is the only way to make it more scientific and Be able to draw any real conclusions from it.
Ok cool, HK USP now please?
Just picked one up. I don't expect it to have the reliability of my glocks but for the price it's a great value. Also one of the best triggers out of the box I've had yet.
I noticed that, right before the mud test, you place the magazine on top of the center blue barrel, which has a lot of dirt/mud/leaves on it, before inserting it into the gun. The previous tests, with the dirt, and with the sand, you pick up the mag off the top of the far right barrel, which is much cleaner by comparison. Perhaps that played a part in the guns failure during the mud test?
I still think you should do the m&p shield especially since they have the $75 mail in rebate and online the shield is $225 after the rebate
awsome shirt
I noticed that after the water rinse (at the faucet) that ejection was not as strong as from the beginning. So you're right, water is not a very good lubricant =). Love this type of video Tim.
I really like this gun. You should have ran it through the gauntlet again after rinsing it. Consistency is a talking point of yours quite often. I think a lot of people want to see this gun do better. Because of how affordable it is compared to the competition, it deserves another chance. Thanks for the video.
Can you do a CZ P07/09 pls
yesss
LifeOfThePack Been asking for the P09 for months.
Yup, it's up in the next round.
Military Arms Channel The P09 or the P07?
Speaking of carry gun reliability...when you gonna test that CZ? Eh, eh, eh?
Another kool video Tim. Still would like to see you test the Ruger 9E NOT the SR9. Thanks keep up great content.
Usp,p30,cz-p09/7 love to see one of these three, thanks for doing these tests
MAC Could it be possible that you could run this test on a Springfield Armory Mod 2 Service model?
I won't give any airtime to Springfield after their anti-gun BS in Illinois. Until the Reese family sells the company to new owners, sadly, Springfield is dead to me.
Understandable, Thanks for the awesome videos and the honest reviews.
Go old school. Ruger P89 and Ruger P95. Both decocker models only.
Neal Johnson that would be awesome,
i love my Ruger P95
The old Ruger P series are my all time favorite Rugers
Shawn Ruger Packin Vegan Bane almost took the win on our service pistols over the Beretta
I picked up a P95 last year in the case never fired. The thing is a chunk, but virtually indestructible.
Overall I'm very impressed i got one for my wife never had any problems and she has 3 19 rounds mags of liberty ammo so I feel much better knowing it made it as far as it did
Not only a great value but just a great gun. Overall in super impressed with mine it's gotta be one of the best pistols I've ever shot.
FN509!
I really like my Canik. Mine has the decocker and it doesn't bother me one bit.
I don't care how they pronounce Canik in Turkey. I'm from Texas. We don't say " toss me another Jan of beer. "
Jeff Gibson lmao right... if they want it pronounced that way they should have spelled it with a J
If you have such disrespect for them that you refuse to do such a simple thing as pronounce their name the way you know it's supposed to be pronounced, maybe you shouldn't be buying and shooting their guns. If you like your gun and appreciate what they're doing, maybe you should have the TINY bit of respect it takes to pronounce their name correctly.
Disrespectful, ungrateful, and Proud of ignorance... Pathetic.
Tom Rogan and maybe you should fuck right off and not tell grown men what they should be doing. Take your pansy ass crying bullshit to a pronunciation video and post there. Save the lectures for your kids you welfare rat.
@@froglogz LOL why did you call him a welfare rat? Oh man.. that's fucking hilarious
Thanks Tim for putting another one of your guns through hell again for both our entertainment and knowledge of how the firearm would fair in adverse conditions.
I can safely say no one would really want to do that to there gun
So thanks man
I absolutely love and trust my Canik TP9SF, for the price it the Canik is a great value, took mine out target shooting and hit the bullseye every single time with no problems. Highly recommend giving Canik a chance.
#RexZEROTestRepeat
Colt1911A1 reliability test!... pleas don't hate me, i want to see how it fails... "you use fake cheap ass chinese 1911 and shit ammo", lol, i'm 1911 fanboy but i know it's not perfect gun...
pleas make a test with Makarow Pistol, MP-443 Grach, CZ75, Desert Eagle?(i hope it will have no problem with sand lol)
and maybe Polish pistols if you find one...
WIST-94
P-83 Wanad
P-64 CZAK
Awesome. Great video as usual.
Mac, your test is not unrealistic at all. Charlie Askins wrote that his Colt OP, which he carried in an open holster in the Sicily champaign, got covered with european dirt all the time.
TEST A CZ-75 P-01 or SP-01! I mean it is your carry gun
Hey I got an idea, how about we put glue all over it, then run it over with a tractor then drop it out of a airplane and run the test.....smh
flyhelo60L 😂😂😂😂
Great stuff bro.
I had a feeling going into battery would be a failure point for these, the recoil spring on mine seems on the weaker end. That said I've had zero malfunctions since I bought the thing a few years ago. The fit and finish of the gun is also amazing for the price, with almost no tooling marks even on the inside of mine. Definitely one of the best guns out there if not the best at its price point.
if they wanted it pronounced differently, they should change the spelling in English countries.
Turkish Army B.C 209
I Want To Ask That's Pistol Canik Tp9 SA Or TP9SF Because TP9 SA Decocker And SF Not Decoker Kindly Need Your Prompt Response
Saw few videos where they dipped in mud and water and worked flawlessly!
Canik guns are not intended to work properly for lefty shooters. LOL!
P.S. I owned two TP9 SF and so far I have not have any issues at all: Rapid shooting, including the whole magazine, double and triple tap.
I like mine. better trigger sights and recoil impulse than stock glock and it just looks better. not many people mention those things along with the 100 cheaper than glock
Joshua McNeese The recoil impulse isn't better than a glock. The trigger and looks yeah
I have watched another channels doing similar tests to the TP9SF, and yes, it is not that friendly with heavy dirty mud, sand, etc.
(BTW, this model is the equivalent of the Glock 17).
If you are not in a special mission in the middle of a muddy jungle environment, I shouldn't be worry about it. Keep clean and lubed your gun, like any other firearms, and you'll be ok.
I fired this pistol at 7 yards with an interval about a second between shots, and my group was about 1 1/2 ". At 25 yards was about 5" group at the same speed. No failure so far since day 1.
I personally carry Glock 19, Gen 4. But the TP9SF will be my back up after the Glock.
Canik also makes the Elite version, equivalent of the Glock 19. I do not have one yet 😊. Some day I will try that one too.
They are also using cheap amo. Some guns like different amo.
MrGoodSkills congrats. Your pistol can shoot.
That pretty much covers EVERY fucking pistol ever made.
Well you know what? I don't listen to the Turks, especially if they're young Turks.
We don't listen wankers either, especially if they are American.
interesting. can you test a s&w sd9 since price wise it is a direct competitor to the canik?
would you consider running a .357 sig or 5.7 mm pistol through the gauntlet? I know they're not exactly common CC rounds in the US but they are interesting pistols none the less
I'm just waiting for the political comments to start.
The gun is already in the states so Erdogan already made his money.
liberalism is a cancer
Iam a liberal and I don't want to take your guns away. :)
Est Mer good to hear! If you could find a way to convince your compatriots to adopt the same belief we'll be in good shape! I've long believed that getting otherwise-liberal people into guns or at least showing them guns and gun owners aren't what they've been lead to believe is part of how we secure the future of our 2A rights. We can agree to disagree about other issues but there's no reason liberals can't/shouldn't have guns and for every one that does it helps undercut the political momentum of those who DO seek to take guns from us!
*said the snake to the hare*
Tea Time Vice hahaha
Est Mer great, but what other freedoms do you think should be restricted? Limit on 1st amendment? Should we tax the rich, expand medicare and ss. Universal healthcare?
If you've ever voted for a liberal politician, then yes, you DO want to take our guns away.
Great video guys!
If you ever need an idea for a future test, I wouldn't mind seeing those early guns re-tested with the more standarized system you have setup nowadays.
Btw, are you ok? You seem a little down in this video.
Why the delay on the 1911A1? Is it a caliber thing? If it is, are you going to run a BHP?
This gun ejecting like a 70 year old man.....you get what you pay for in this case....
DvBattlegears Yeah my cousin got one a few weeks ago and the casings barely dribble out.
I have 2 Gen 1's, a V2 and the SA. I have none of those issues. However I've heard of the newer elite having that issue. I blame Century more than Canik.
The recoil spring is made for NATO spec 9mm which is hotter. Mine ejected poorly when I first got it but it's fine after being broken in. It's been extremely reliable so far.
Save up an extra $100 and buy a Glock.
littleteethkeith in the end it may even is the cheaper option, for some that matters.
exactly
Classic Gentleman Word.
Might i ask why you have that opinion?
Do you have any functionality problems with the Canik? Not trying to start an argument, just curious.
Scσяρισи Tнє Hєℓℓѕραωи I have that option because I have the ability to manage my money.
Great video sir! Big takeaways are keep lube in your range bag or car (going to do both of those now) and the Canik is a nice firearm. Looking to get either the Walther 99 (first model) or the Canik (first model) clone that you mention. Is the Canik (first model) you mention a clone of the P99 (first model) or a later model?
Will be purchasing this firearm soon
