I’ve had for mine for 5 years… not one malfunction at all. For years I’ve carried Glock 19. Now I have the Glock 45, good weapon, but my Canik ( in my opinion) is still better. Not to mention I am Glock armorer certified.
I just bought another Canik. You just can't get a better firearm for the money invested. The trigger, sights & ergonomics are phenomenal. Great review.
SOOTCH IS THE ONLY CHANNEL I GO TO FOR AN EXTREMELY THOROUGH REVIEW THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IN 2X SPEED. HE'S SHARP, CRISP SPEAKING, ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL, AND A FANTASTIC PATRIOT. I do watch other channels sometimes and then am quickly reminded why I only watch Sootch00...... You're the man Sootch!!!!!
I love mine. It has the olive green colored slide. I placed an online bid on it even though I didn't care for the color at the time, and they took me seriously! Since then it has grown on me and it is one of my favorite shooters.
I am now a huge proponent of Canik because of Yankee Marshall. I own one already and soon will have 2. They are damn fine pistols and are reasonably priced. My son has one with over 1200 rounds through it. Neither my son's Canik nor mine has had so much as a hiccup.
Canik seems to be following the XD play book by introducing new models and making them appealing. Good job, I love my Canik, hope to see more out there.
So funny you say that. My dad is an xd fanatic. I stumbled upon Canik and I love mine. He recently bought an elite after I let him shoot mine. Mine is new but it’s been flawless so far. I wanted an xdm but can’t afford it. I like my Canik more after shooting both. Probably/definitely bias…
Damn I'm excited. I've been a Canik fan since Gen1. I have owned every model and have several thousand rounds through every model with never an issue that wasn't my fault. I currently run a Canik tp9sf for local tactical 3-gun matches and never feel outgunned. My SF has about 2200rds through it at this point with no stoppages and the only issue being the slide not locking back occasionally, but that's due to my grip profile causing my thumbs to block the slide lock. Excellent review Sootch.
Jeremy Jones the ppq is a very good competitor to the glock 19 but the ppq is taller vertically and longer horizontally than the glock 19. This canik is closer in dimensions and price to the glock 19. Plus this canik has a sick trigger as well and has better stock sights for $400 freaking dollars! So it does everything the ppq/glock can plus more for cheaper.
Jake M yeah you got a point because the ppq is a tad bit thicker as well. Ppq still has the cleanest trigger break and shortest reset from what I hear. But the value of the tp9sf elite is off the charts. Quite possibly the best value in semi auto 9mm's right now. I can't wait to shoot one to see how it stacks up to my ppq
Jeremy Jones I couldn't agree more! I would definitely like to see how the ppq stacks up to this awesome firearm. You are absolutely right about this pistol being the highest quality/features for your buck. This gun for its price very well might skyrocket canik to or above the popularity of glocks, walthers, smith & wessons and springfields. This pistol is just a homerun if it can maintain reliability over the years and in adverse conditions. I hope the military arms channel will put it through thier reliability test soon. (I'm sure they most definitely will. haha)
Just when you think you got it all figured out, Cz comes out with their first striker fired compact size handgun lol. The p10 compact looks very promising as well
Canik is a company from Turkey produces handguns for civilians they also have automatic pistols and rifles for military. Its also much more expensive in Turkey because of gun laws.
I also own an HK VP9 and I love it, and I've kept my eye on the TP9SF, but im glad they came out with this Elite version! Definitely would like to own one of those Elites!
Best TP9SF Elite review I have seen. I purchased this firearm and now have 700 rounds with ZERO malfunctions. I carry this on my side every day. Thanks again.
Great video. Canik makes a very well made & shooting guns. I own 3 TP9SFX (yes 3). I use them for competition, I also own the TP9SF another great shooter. Right out of the box, these gun just run. I've fed just about every type of ammo they them, my only problem was Winchester white box. It hits the feed ramp & stops, I've had to re-rack the slide. So No more Winchester. These guns are accurate, the triggers are exceptional. I like these triggers better than on my PPQ. All the extras that it comes with, you can'tbeat it. The Elite is an excellent CCW for EDC. With 15 rounds, it's even better. If you need more than 15 to stop your assailant, you should not be carrying. Buy these while you can. Once others know about them, the price will probably increase.
Firearms is one area where country of origin is basically irrelevant. You just made me realize that. Austria, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Germany, etc are all large players.
Just picked up one of these amazing firearms and had my first trip to the range. Zero issues. Was looking for a G19 but went this route instead. My Dad was at the range with me and his G19. He was very impressed with the Canik sights and trigger and shot the Canik better. We both still like Glock, but anyone on the fence on this firearm, do it. You won't be sorry. Glock isn't going anywhere and you can always buy one if you change your mind. As for me I made the right decision. I like glock but HATE Glock sights.
I bought a g19 gen 5 at the first of this year and carried it for a while. I didn't like the blocky feeling of it, I upgraded the sights to the ameriglo night sights and had a new trigger installed. It was ok after all of that but I just wasn't happy with it so I sold it and carried my Taurus g2c. Yesterday was my birthday and my son and I were in our local gun shop and he saw me looking at this very gun. He's kind of a gun snob so I thought he would give me crap about me even looking at it. He asked me if I liked it and I said yeah it seems like a solid gun, so he told the gun shop owner he wanted it. I was like dang boy how many pistols do you need?..lol He said it's not for me dad it's for you, happy birthday. I am stoked. I haven't shot it yet but I will this coming weekend.
@@Brett235 Seems like even the gun snobs can't argue with some of the Turkish guns in terms of value and quality. I recently got a Sarsilmaz SAR9 and it's a really really good gun. A friend of mine has a Canik and it seems really nice, I've almost pulled the trigger on one before.
Second Canik in my arsenal and I love this gun. It shot 1" low until I tweeked the sights and Wow dead nuts. I traded for it with a straight trade and the price would have been 419.95. I m thrilled with its weight and size. Carrying right now.
I know this video was years ago but this is the 10th video I've watched about CANiK pistols and so far the reviews are 10/10. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting TP9SF Elite for my carry.
Went out and bought one for myself on Saturday. I remembered I had just watched this video a couple of weeks back. I love this firearm. Very well built. Pretty much every thing Mr. sootch00 says in this video is accurate as far as I can tell. Very happy with this purchase. $400 out the door here in Phoenix.
the Caniks are awesome pistals. I bought mine out of curiosity and for $300, it was a no brainer. I absolutely love shooting this SF and I will be getting this one as well. Bang for Buck it doesn't get any better. Great video, beautiful gun.
great review! I like my glock 19 4 gen but when I got my tp9v2 I fell in love with Canik, the elite will definitely be my next pistol specially after watching your review. btw I subscribed! Thank you!
Great review. I laughed when I read the comment below about the 4 guns sold and 4 return because dead triggers. Hahaha What a story teller...for all of us who have experience with these guns, we know for a fact the these guns are amazing. The story teller is just mad the he over paid for his other brand. Great video, and my sf elite is already in order.
Great review I bought this at my local gun shop after trading in my beretta 92 and I can say I'm well beyond impressed with what this gives you and how it performs! The bloopers at the end had me rolling 😂😂😂
Well I didn't buy another Canik, I was about to when this gorgeous little P229 in 9mm caught my eye. All funnin aside the Canik TP9 SF Elite is the best shooting striker fire poly pistol out there for the money.
My how this gun has changed. I just picked one of these up, 2 days ago. It now comes optics ready, and the front rail, for lighting, is only 2 slots instead of 3, now. And the sights... the front is no longer fiber optic. It's now a white, phosphoric paint. It'll glow in the dark, if given enough light to charge it. It still comes with all the other features and accessories, though... and they added a mounting plate for adding a red dot, if you want to go that route. Note: Because of the loaded chamber indicator, it will only accommodate a micro red dot. It's a fantastic pistol, in my humble opinion!
@Rick Slade prices rising from Covid-19. I got my wife s Tp9SF Elite 4 months ago for 369 all in. It is awesome. The trigger is incredible and makes my Shield 9mm feel like dragging rocks over glass.
Are you having any trouble when you use the mag release. Several reviews are saying the magazine specs are a little off and the magazine will not fall freely. Thanks
You (in my opinion) do the best reviews on you tube, I always look to your reviews prior to ordering to see if you have reviewed what i am looking for and most times you have - thank you ....
Love ya Sootch! Great review. You and Hickok45 are the only two on here worth paying attention to. Yankee Marshal is a dingleberry and Nutnfancy still plays with Star Wars toys. Keep up the good work.
Sootch, I know this video is a little older now, so information may not have been as readily available at the time of this video...but I wanted to clear up that the TP9 SF Elite-S does have the paddle around the trigger guard, but it moves upwards to act as a trigger safety, not moving downward as a mag release. I just held one the other day. It still has your typical mag release button. With that paddle safety in the upward position, it prevents the trigger from being able to move rearward; something I heard was a request for either the military or police in the region. Keep up the great work!
John Wizeman you pick one up yet? Just got mine. Built September 2017. Has the modified recoil spring assy. Really liking it so far. Hope to take it to the range this week. Xmas gift to myself.
Consistently like your reviews, very thorough. Bought a TP9SFL for competition and falling more in love with it every time I shoot it. Only mistake I saw in the video is that the trigger guard lever on the elite-s is not a paddle style mag release but an additional trigger safety that swings up to block the trigger from being pulled.
sootch00 nice review . finally someone who gets into detail about this gun. everyone else just flashes it around for a couple of seconds and rants on about known facts . Good to see a (HD) quality fire of the gun and your opinion.
I got this pistol last Friday night and it is the best 9mm pistol I have ever shot. It just a bit better than my Canik TP9SA and that pistol is amazing. So much value and quality for so little money !!!
On the slide for disassembly for this model. You do not have to pull the slide back at all. You just need to pull down on the slide release tabs and your slide will pop forward.
The “paddle” on a SF Elite-S is not a mag release. It is in fact a trigger block safety added to meet a mil spec contract. I use the elite-s because I prefer abdomen carry for concealed carry. The trigger block gives me extra piece of mind. For those who don’t like it you can disengage it an entirely ignore it’s existence without otherwise effecting the weapon.
Thanks for the extensive review, glad they finally got this TP9 series in mid-size. I also can't believe you get all this gun, with Warren Tactical sights, at such a solid price point.
Great review, I have guns of all brands except canik which I have been looking at for a month now. I enjoy your Chanel and must say I learn so much from you. Because you are mature, straight forward instructor with no macho attitude, thank you, last night I was watching your vid on opening both eyes when aiming and practice technique, thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and that comes from a patriot American Muslim who loves America.
Two things to take note of. Many websites have the TP9SF Elite and Elite S listed as double action single action, when in fact they are single action only. The paddles that sootch00 mentions are not mag release paddles but are a trigger safety lock. They are only available on the Elite S.
First I have heard of any problems with Canik pistols. All too often we "hear" of problems with guns that get blown well out of proportion on the internet. Not saying you are doing this however, please provide links to videos or pictures.
So I did a cursory search and other than weak ejection I haven't seen any issues. Weak ejection in and of itself is not an problem. Use NATO spec ammo and should be fine. Honestly I was expecting substantial problems (stovepipe due to weak ejection, cracked frames, poor QC, etc.). I can easily see guys complaining about the ejection being too strong! Individuals have done this on other platforms...the H&K 91, and its clones come to mind.
I gotta comend you not only on your tenacity in getting us a new video on the eve of the holiday, but also you diplomacy in addressing the country of manufacture. Kudos Sir!
Really nice rundown! Well covered and at a nice pace! This gun feels good, perfect grip size for me. My G19 is just the slightest bit of a chucky-boy in my grip.
You seem to be a solid guy, and I thank you for both of your channels. I always know when you are going to do a new video because I can hear you shooting. America unite🇺🇸
I just picked up one of these and I love it, it is ammo sensitive and if your having FTE's you have to use hot ammo in them because they have a very strong recoil spring in them, once the recoil spring is broken in the gun is fantastic
Are budget firearms the only ones that exist or what?! I can name a few Hk's,Cz's, and Sig models of the top of my head that are in every aspect a better firearm. C'mon man be sensible so many options out there impossible to say this one is even close to the best 9mm, even if we were talking high end handguns.
Samuel I would love for you to explain what makes them better. Maybe because they cost two or three times as much. I have many guns among them are two Caniks soon to be three. Fyi I have about 12.000 rounds through one and around 8000 the other.I have not had one problem with either. So what can you say about a pistol that looks good is 100 percent reliable and has the most amazing trigger of all my stock guns. Like I said I own many brands of guns. Guess which ones have needed to go back to the factory for repair. I will save you the trouble two sigs one Glock one Kahr and a Smith& Wesson. So please explain what makes your choices better in every aspect! Let me end with that there are tons of great guns with amazing track records and the ones you mentioned make many fine guns as well.
@@barefootbob1269 calm down man, Samuel is right though, with my CZ Shadow 2 I can shoot way more accurate just from the size weight and recoil control. I do however own different kinds of "budget" firearms too, like my Kel-Tec firearms, and Glocks. I don't think there is such thing as a best or perfect firearm, firearms are very subjective when it comes to comfortability with the platform, training, and ergonomics.
Good , Honest review. I have 5 Caniks, over 30K rounds all together, No issues. These are well made guns & they just run. Best value for the money. You can't go wrong.
You're starting to make me a believer Sootch. Never heard a bad review other than that Yankee Marshall asshat. I don't care about the politics if it'll protect me and my family. Period! Half the people bashing this because of where it's made either own or would love to own an AK. Just saying... This one may need to be in my collection.
Devildog Their loss, of you ask me. The TP9SF is the cheapest handgun I own, and I shoot it better than any handgun I've ever shot. Only time will tell how it holds up, but so far I'm impressed with the gun. My only complaints with the SF is the cheap finish, and like this model, it's a bit bulky, but where can you get a good shooter, with decent range holster for $350.
A good shooting long lasting house gun for my daughter that's about to graduate UNLV is what I'm looking for. All accounts say the TP9 guns winners. Thanks for the input Brother.
Sootch love your reviews always have.. We have similar taste! I'm a through and through CZ fan boy.. I've always wanted a canik tp model.. I've owned a few of the canik 55 cz clones and they are top notch! To the question.. Money not being a factor.. P10 or tp9sf elite??
Awesome review as always sir! Iv'e been watching your videos since you did the video on the Sig Sauer SP 2022 which assisted me in making the decision to purchase one. It was a smooth shooter and pleasant to shoot. So thanks!
I have over 20 Caniks, use the executive for competition. Spot on review. However, the CS is still too large for conceal. I prefer my Caniks over my Glocks , Taurus, Rugers and Smith's but not over my sigs, H&K or Walthers.
Thanks sootch00 to share that pistol to everybody. Some people are talking about terrorism in here and I have to say Turkey is agains it and fight against terrorism from 35 year with active antiterrorist force in east of Turkey. If u will investigate PKK u can find out what am I talking about. Everybody free to choose what u buy but do not charge with terrorism. we are not like that ! I'm living in Turkey and it's not a subjective comment.

Just for clarification for some readers, the triggerguard paddles referenced in this video (approx. 5:50) are an optional trigger block "safety" which prevent the trigger from being pulled rearward; these paddles are not to be confused with the Walther-type which drop the magazine(s).
I love this pistol, especially for an entry level price. This is the first pistol I really learned how to shoot pistols with and out of the box, I needed no modifications. The trigger is great. The fiber optic sights are easy to see and take down and reassembly are super easy. I would suggest this over a Glock or M and P for first time pistol owners. Both fore mentioned are great firearms but I needed modifications and put an extra $100 or more into both Glocks and SW M and Ps to get the features needed to my liking where the Canik out of the box was excellent. The Turkish government sucks but they know how to make excellent pistols for a great price. Another example of this is the Sarailmaz SR38 revolver. Decent quality 357 revolver for under $400. I wish other gun manufacturers could give us this quality and features for the $400 price point these guns give us. I usually have to pay $700+ to get everything out of handguns like the last 2 I mentioned.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Sootch! Caniks are awesome pistols- I have the 55, the SF and expect I'll wait for the Sub Compact which will eventually come out. Like you said, Great shooters, and in my opinion, very reliable, and less expensive than most of the same quality.
I've got over 6,300 rds thru my tp9sa without a failure not one.I've used jhp,fmj 115,124,147gr and reman rounds no problems.I love this and can't wait to get this elite compact if it has the quality of my other tp it will be my ccw-only after I put a few thousand rounds thru without failure.I am very surprised and impressed with these gun and the trigger is very good.
Watching you shoot is more fun than actually going to the range 😂. This is possibly the most well engineered and designed pistol I have ever seen. Your videos are the absolute best!
Another great unbiased review, keep up the great work Sootch! I look to you and Nutnfancy for honest, reliable information that usually makes my wallet cry LOL. We'll definitely be giving this pistol a lot of consideration alongside the Glock 19 and M&P Shield when the fiancée and I go shopping for her concealed carry upgrade.
it's 1/20/2020, owned my Canik TP9 SF-Elite for almost 1 year, well over 1,000 rounds and still love the pistol ..... 100% functionality to date ...
Yes its incredible
I’ve had for mine for 5 years… not one malfunction at all. For years I’ve carried Glock 19. Now I have the Glock 45, good weapon, but my Canik ( in my opinion) is still better. Not to mention I am Glock armorer certified.
Are you still running iron sights on it?
I just bought another Canik.
You just can't get a better firearm for the money invested.
The trigger, sights & ergonomics are phenomenal. Great review.
I've own this canik for 2years now and never gave me a problem. I love this gun.thanks for the great review.

Awesome video!!! I have over 4,000 rounds with ZERO malfunctions. Best trigger out of the box. Best reset.
I Like it! Getting one, don't care where it's made. it's a solid tool.
I love mine. It has the olive green colored slide. I placed an online bid on it even though I didn't care for the color at the time, and they took me seriously! Since then it has grown on me and it is one of my favorite shooters.
They're awesome I love my Caniks out of the box kills Glock or Smith and Wesson
I am now a huge proponent of Canik because of Yankee Marshall. I own one already and soon will have 2. They are damn fine pistols and are reasonably priced. My son has one with over 1200 rounds through it. Neither my son's Canik nor mine has had so much as a hiccup.

Excellent review Sootch.
Got one 4 months ago. Incredible trigger and awesome gun.
I just got my TP9 SF Elite at academy sports. I love it
Your earlier review of the TP9SF Elite vs Elite S encouraged me to purchase the TP9SF ELITE S it is awesome, love it, THANKS!
Finally a great and REAL competitor to the glock 19. This handgun is just awesome in all aspects.
Jake M how was the ppq not a competitor for the glock 19. Ppq still has the best trigger
Jeremy Jones the ppq is a very good competitor to the glock 19 but the ppq is taller vertically and longer horizontally than the glock 19. This canik is closer in dimensions and price to the glock 19. Plus this canik has a sick trigger as well and has better stock sights for $400 freaking dollars! So it does everything the ppq/glock can plus more for cheaper.
Jake M yeah you got a point because the ppq is a tad bit thicker as well. Ppq still has the cleanest trigger break and shortest reset from what I hear. But the value of the tp9sf elite is off the charts. Quite possibly the best value in semi auto 9mm's right now. I can't wait to shoot one to see how it stacks up to my ppq
Jeremy Jones I couldn't agree more! I would definitely like to see how the ppq stacks up to this awesome firearm. You are absolutely right about this pistol being the highest quality/features for your buck. This gun for its price very well might skyrocket canik to or above the popularity of glocks, walthers, smith & wessons and springfields. This pistol is just a homerun if it can maintain reliability over the years and in adverse conditions. I hope the military arms channel will put it through thier reliability test soon. (I'm sure they most definitely will. haha)
Just when you think you got it all figured out, Cz comes out with their first striker fired compact size handgun lol. The p10 compact looks very promising as well
Canik is a company from Turkey
produces handguns for civilians
they also have automatic pistols and rifles for military.
Its also much more expensive in Turkey because of gun laws.
I also own an HK VP9 and I love it, and I've kept my eye on the TP9SF, but im glad they came out with this Elite version! Definitely would like to own one of those Elites!
The Canik line of hand guns have became my favorite polymer gun. I will be adding the Elite to my collection. Happy thanksgiving.
Best TP9SF Elite review I have seen. I purchased this firearm and now have 700 rounds with ZERO malfunctions. I carry this on my side every day. Thanks again.
I have wanted one for so long, I have a canik cz clone and love it they just keep getting better and better
Great video. Canik makes a very well made & shooting guns. I own 3 TP9SFX (yes 3). I use them for competition, I also own the TP9SF another great shooter. Right out of the box, these gun just run. I've fed just about every type of ammo they them, my only problem was Winchester white box. It hits the feed ramp & stops, I've had to re-rack the slide. So No more Winchester. These guns are accurate, the triggers are exceptional. I like these triggers better than on my PPQ. All the extras that it comes with, you can'tbeat it. The Elite is an excellent CCW for EDC. With 15 rounds, it's even better. If you need more than 15 to stop your assailant, you should not be carrying. Buy these while you can. Once others know about them, the price will probably increase.
I don't get it. What if we don't put politics aside? What has Canik done politically?
Probably the best backup/truck gun you could have!! Excellent gun at a great price. Hell, you could use it as your EDC/primary home defense pistol.
It is the best bang for your buck (pun intended) on the market in my opinion. I have both the elite-s and the elite-sc.
Primary carry goes without saying. Why would you carry an sf elite as a back up fun? lol. Definitely not a truck gun. Maybe Taurus or hi point
@@moose9410hi point ??
love hearing springfield guys talk about how these aren't made in America. Another great review!
Firearms is one area where country of origin is basically irrelevant. You just made me realize that. Austria, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Germany, etc are all large players.

lol...aint it the truth!

O4 HEMI Absolutely hate Springfield.
Nice job Sootch. Will pick my new Elite up tonight because of your review!
I can see yours was one of the first.... serial #
Just ordered my first freedom munitions bc of you. Awesome stuff. Also love Canik. The Tristar T120 rocks.
Got mine on sale at Academy Sports & Outdoors paid $279 what a steal! I love it
Got the V2 and SF, now need the Elite. Thanks for the update. Happy TG!
Your reviews are some of the best, most reliable on the net. I take your word over anyone out there. Thanks
Excellent video! I can't wait to pick up the Canik TP9 SF Elite!
A few of these are on the market now. I have one coming to my FFL. It was $405.00 plus $30 bucks for shipping.
Just picked up one of these amazing firearms and had my first trip to the range. Zero issues. Was looking for a G19 but went this route instead. My Dad was at the range with me and his G19. He was very impressed with the Canik sights and trigger and shot the Canik better. We both still like Glock, but anyone on the fence on this firearm, do it. You won't be sorry. Glock isn't going anywhere and you can always buy one if you change your mind. As for me I made the right decision. I like glock but HATE Glock sights.
You made the right choice. I own a Glock 19 and the trigger sucks.
Owned the Gen 5 G45... Canik trigger sight and price won me I still love glocks
I bought a g19 gen 5 at the first of this year and carried it for a while. I didn't like the blocky feeling of it, I upgraded the sights to the ameriglo night sights and had a new trigger installed. It was ok after all of that but I just wasn't happy with it so I sold it and carried my Taurus g2c. Yesterday was my birthday and my son and I were in our local gun shop and he saw me looking at this very gun. He's kind of a gun snob so I thought he would give me crap about me even looking at it. He asked me if I liked it and I said yeah it seems like a solid gun, so he told the gun shop owner he wanted it. I was like dang boy how many pistols do you need?..lol He said it's not for me dad it's for you, happy birthday. I am stoked. I haven't shot it yet but I will this coming weekend.
@@Brett235 Seems like even the gun snobs can't argue with some of the Turkish guns in terms of value and quality. I recently got a Sarsilmaz SAR9 and it's a really really good gun. A friend of mine has a Canik and it seems really nice, I've almost pulled the trigger on one before.
Second Canik in my arsenal and I love this gun. It shot 1" low until I tweeked the sights and Wow dead nuts. I traded for it with a straight trade and the price would have been 419.95. I m thrilled with its weight and size. Carrying right now.
I know this video was years ago but this is the 10th video I've watched about CANiK pistols and so far the reviews are 10/10. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting TP9SF Elite for my carry.
Went out and bought one for myself on Saturday. I remembered I had just watched this video a couple of weeks back. I love this firearm. Very well built. Pretty much every thing Mr. sootch00 says in this video is accurate as far as I can tell. Very happy with this purchase. $400 out the door here in Phoenix.
Where ????
@@juvenilekidz Tombstone Tactical. I bought it like 3 or 4 years ago.
@@juvenilekidz Excuse me, it was $400.83... purchase date was 12/10/2016
@@GenXisT thank u. I’m surprised u replied . 5 years ago u made that comment hahaha
@@juvenilekidz I'm still alive, thankfully! So I got the alert, lol. It really is a great pistol. That trigger is A+++++ it's 1911 good.
the Caniks are awesome pistals. I bought mine out of curiosity and for $300, it was a no brainer. I absolutely love shooting this SF and I will be getting this one as well. Bang for Buck it doesn't get any better. Great video, beautiful gun.
great review! I like my glock 19 4 gen but when I got my tp9v2 I fell in love with Canik, the elite will definitely be my next pistol specially after watching your review. btw I subscribed! Thank you!
I bought this as my first ever gun yesterday with 150 bullet to waste in the range tomorrow. It will be a fun day.
Great review. I laughed when I read the comment below about the 4 guns sold and 4 return because dead triggers. Hahaha What a story teller...for all of us who have experience with these guns, we know for a fact the these guns are amazing. The story teller is just mad the he over paid for his other brand.
Great video, and my sf elite is already in order.
Great review I bought this at my local gun shop after trading in my beretta 92 and I can say I'm well beyond impressed with what this gives you and how it performs! The bloopers at the end had me rolling 😂😂😂
Why get rid of the Beretta?
I bought one and love it! Not one problem so far. My fiancè has claimed it as hers so I'll be getting another one for me.
Well I didn't buy another Canik, I was about to when this gorgeous little P229 in 9mm caught my eye. All funnin aside the Canik TP9 SF Elite is the best shooting striker fire poly pistol out there for the money.
My how this gun has changed. I just picked one of these up, 2 days ago. It now comes optics ready, and the front rail, for lighting, is only 2 slots instead of 3, now.
And the sights... the front is no longer fiber optic. It's now a white, phosphoric paint. It'll glow in the dark, if given enough light to charge it.
It still comes with all the other features and accessories, though... and they added a mounting plate for adding a red dot, if you want to go that route.
Note: Because of the loaded chamber indicator, it will only accommodate a micro red dot.
It's a fantastic pistol, in my humble opinion!
For anyone watching this video in recent times, I just purchased a NEW Elite TP9SF for $300. Great pistol at an astonishingly competitive price!!
@Rick Slade prices rising from Covid-19. I got my wife s Tp9SF Elite 4 months ago for 369 all in. It is awesome. The trigger is incredible and makes my Shield 9mm feel like dragging rocks over glass.
I picked up mine two weeks before the pandemic and gun buying craze for about $300 too. Glad I did!
@Rick Slade i got mine for 324 with tax. But i think they robbed me..i didnt get a holster nor a 2nd mag
Are you having any trouble when you use the mag release. Several reviews are saying the magazine specs are a little off and the magazine will not fall freely. Thanks
@@816928 I own a couple of TP9s. Canik has their mags produced by Mec-Gar (as many OEMs do), and they are the best mags in the world.
You (in my opinion) do the best reviews on you tube, I always look to your reviews prior to ordering to see if you have reviewed what i am looking for and most times you have - thank you ....
Love ya Sootch! Great review. You and Hickok45 are the only two on here worth paying attention to. Yankee Marshal is a dingleberry and Nutnfancy still plays with Star Wars toys. Keep up the good work.
Looks like another home run!
great review
Thanks SOOTCH00,, this is another great review. I love my tp9sf and I guess I will need to invest in the elite.
I just bought an Elite and love the way it feels in my hand. I know I am going to love the way it shoots
Current opinions?
@@Catgat37 It shoots wonderfully. Well balanced and easy to handle!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE.. GODBLESS
Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
I love my canik pistol and I have not had any problems for the whole year I've owned it super reliable and I never leave without it
Put 300 rounds through mine today...glad I didn't spend an extra 250 on a glock. Love this gun!
This is the best canik review on youtube hands down still in 2022...beautiful review....you make me so damn proud to oen this gun
This very same model is sold for $850 in Turkey! I think 400-500$ is pretty good for this gun :)
I just paid 335 plus tax
THIS IS THE BY FAR THE BEST REVIEW VIDEO ON TH-cam 👍👍👍
Thanks for posting this video. I found it informative and really appreciate your review.
Sootch, I know this video is a little older now, so information may not have been as readily available at the time of this video...but I wanted to clear up that the TP9 SF Elite-S does have the paddle around the trigger guard, but it moves upwards to act as a trigger safety, not moving downward as a mag release. I just held one the other day. It still has your typical mag release button. With that paddle safety in the upward position, it prevents the trigger from being able to move rearward; something I heard was a request for either the military or police in the region. Keep up the great work!
I'll give it 6 mons. but it looks like I'm going to be adding another Canik pistol to my lineup.
John Wizeman you pick one up yet? Just got mine. Built September 2017. Has the modified recoil spring assy. Really liking it so far. Hope to take it to the range this week. Xmas gift to myself.
Consistently like your reviews, very thorough. Bought a TP9SFL for competition and falling more in love with it every time I shoot it. Only mistake I saw in the video is that the trigger guard lever on the elite-s is not a paddle style mag release but an additional trigger safety that swings up to block the trigger from being pulled.
sootch00 nice review . finally someone who gets into detail about this gun. everyone else just flashes it around for a couple of seconds and rants on about known facts . Good to see a (HD) quality fire of the gun and your opinion.
Thanks Andrew! It's a great little pistol~
I just picked mine up today! I love my TP9-SA, and I'm looking forward to shooting this one.
felt the striker fired trigger and it is amazing, especially for the price.
I got this pistol last Friday night and it is the best 9mm pistol I have ever shot. It just a bit better than my Canik TP9SA and that pistol is amazing. So much value and quality for so little money !!!
Awesome review Sootch00! I've been considering the Canik but wasn't completely sold until the Elite came out!
Keep up the awesome work brother!
On the slide for disassembly for this model. You do not have to pull the slide back at all. You just need to pull down on the slide release tabs and your slide will pop forward.
I bought one and I love it
The “paddle” on a SF Elite-S is not a mag release. It is in fact a trigger block safety added to meet a mil spec contract. I use the elite-s because I prefer abdomen carry for concealed carry. The trigger block gives me extra piece of mind. For those who don’t like it you can disengage it an entirely ignore it’s existence without otherwise effecting the weapon.
Thanks for the extensive review, glad they finally got this TP9 series in mid-size. I also can't believe you get all this gun, with Warren Tactical sights, at such a solid price point.
Great review, I have guns of all brands except canik which I have been looking at for a month now. I enjoy your Chanel and must say I learn so much from you. Because you are mature, straight forward instructor with no macho attitude, thank you, last night I was watching your vid on opening both eyes when aiming and practice technique, thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and that comes from a patriot American Muslim who loves America.
Great Review Sootch...I always trust your opinions on firearms
Two things to take note of. Many websites have the TP9SF Elite and Elite S listed as double action single action, when in fact they are single action only. The paddles that sootch00 mentions are not mag release paddles but are a trigger safety lock. They are only available on the Elite S.
Very nice
First I have heard of any problems with Canik pistols. All too often we "hear" of problems with guns that get blown well out of proportion on the internet. Not saying you are doing this however, please provide links to videos or pictures.
So I did a cursory search and other than weak ejection I haven't seen any issues. Weak ejection in and of itself is not an problem. Use NATO spec ammo and should be fine.
Honestly I was expecting substantial problems (stovepipe due to weak ejection, cracked frames, poor QC, etc.). I can easily see guys complaining about the ejection being too strong! Individuals have done this on other platforms...the H&K 91, and its clones come to mind.
I gotta comend you not only on your tenacity in getting us a new video on the eve of the holiday, but also you diplomacy in addressing the country of manufacture.
Kudos Sir!
Really nice rundown! Well covered and at a nice pace! This gun feels good, perfect grip size for me. My G19 is just the slightest bit of a chucky-boy in my grip.
You seem to be a solid guy, and I thank you for both of your channels. I always know when you are going to do a new video because I can hear you shooting. America unite🇺🇸
Holy gun gods!! That is one sweet looking,accurate gun for the money.
just shot mine today,three different brands is ammo,mixed ammo,not one issue! great,great shooter!
this is a great competitive gun for a very affordable price
Bought A all black version a couple months ago have fired a 300 rounds of it and it isA huge winner.
Another great review!
I just picked up one of these and I love it, it is ammo sensitive and if your having FTE's you have to use hot ammo in them because they have a very strong recoil spring in them, once the recoil spring is broken in the gun is fantastic
The Turkish TP9SF is one of the best 9mm. Please don't ride the glock train people, it's time to evolve.
M&P is the best. After that, I'd say Canik and Glock are comparable. I actually like both of those.
Are budget firearms the only ones that exist or what?! I can name a few Hk's,Cz's, and Sig models of the top of my head that are in every aspect a better firearm. C'mon man be sensible so many options out there impossible to say this one is even close to the best 9mm, even if we were talking high end handguns.
Samuel I would love for you to explain what makes them better. Maybe because they cost two or three times as much. I have many guns among them are two Caniks soon to be three. Fyi I have about 12.000 rounds through one and around 8000 the other.I have not had one problem with either. So what can you say about a pistol that looks good is 100 percent reliable and has the most amazing trigger of all my stock guns. Like I said I own many brands of guns. Guess which ones have needed to go back to the factory for repair. I will save you the trouble two sigs one Glock one Kahr and a Smith& Wesson. So please explain what makes your choices better in every aspect! Let me end with that there are tons of great guns with amazing track records and the ones you mentioned make many fine guns as well.
@@barefootbob1269 calm down man, Samuel is right though, with my CZ Shadow 2 I can shoot way more accurate just from the size weight and recoil control. I do however own different kinds of "budget" firearms too, like my Kel-Tec firearms, and Glocks. I don't think there is such thing as a best or perfect firearm, firearms are very subjective when it comes to comfortability with the platform, training, and ergonomics.
I just hope they can stay in business
Good , Honest review. I have 5 Caniks, over 30K rounds all together, No issues. These are well made guns & they just run. Best value for the money. You can't go wrong.
Good to know long life reliability. I just bought two
TP9SFx TP9SF
You're starting to make me a believer Sootch. Never heard a bad review other than that Yankee Marshall asshat. I don't care about the politics if it'll protect me and my family. Period! Half the people bashing this because of where it's made either own or would love to own an AK. Just saying... This one may need to be in my collection.
Devildog Their loss, of you ask me. The TP9SF is the cheapest handgun I own, and I shoot it better than any handgun I've ever shot. Only time will tell how it holds up, but so far I'm impressed with the gun. My only complaints with the SF is the cheap finish, and like this model, it's a bit bulky, but where can you get a good shooter, with decent range holster for $350.
A good shooting long lasting house gun for my daughter that's about to graduate UNLV is what I'm looking for. All accounts say the TP9 guns winners. Thanks for the input Brother.
Love your reviews Sootch. Excellent photography and attention to details. Just the right length video to get out the important info.
Thanks Bigbore!
Did you ever have problem with the ejector not being strong enough? +Honest outlaw reviews channel had stove pipe and double feed malfunctions.
nice pistol I already have the subcompact now I'm going for this this phenomenal weapon
Sootch love your reviews always have.. We have similar taste! I'm a through and through CZ fan boy.. I've always wanted a canik tp model.. I've owned a few of the canik 55 cz clones and they are top notch!
To the question.. Money not being a factor.. P10 or tp9sf elite??
Awesome review as always sir! Iv'e been watching your videos since you did the video on the Sig Sauer SP 2022 which assisted me in making the decision to purchase one. It was a smooth shooter and pleasant to shoot. So thanks!
A striker-fired pistol with a Trigger Pull under 5lbs!? Be still my heart! 🤗
I have over 20 Caniks, use the executive for competition. Spot on review. However, the CS is still too large for conceal. I prefer my Caniks over my Glocks , Taurus, Rugers and Smith's but not over my sigs, H&K or Walthers.
With a YHM silencer, I have to admit, I prefer the CANIK threaded to the GLOCK threaded. Very, very accurate.
Roman de Caesar, please forgive my ignorance... why do you prefer the Canik threads to the Glock threads?
Got my tp9sf elite yesterday for $369! sweet!!!!
Thanks sootch00 to share that pistol to everybody.
Some people are talking about terrorism in here and I have to say Turkey is agains it and fight against terrorism from 35 year with active antiterrorist force in east of Turkey. If u will investigate PKK u can find out what am I talking about.
Everybody free to choose what u buy but do not charge with terrorism. we are not like that ! I'm living in Turkey and it's not a subjective comment.

I just picked up one of these and I love it, it is ammo sensitive and if your having FTE's you have to use hot ammo in them because they have a very strong recoil spring in them
Just for clarification for some readers, the triggerguard paddles referenced in this video (approx. 5:50) are an optional trigger block "safety" which prevent the trigger from being pulled rearward; these paddles are not to be confused with the Walther-type which drop the magazine(s).
I love this pistol, especially for an entry level price. This is the first pistol I really learned how to shoot pistols with and out of the box, I needed no modifications. The trigger is great. The fiber optic sights are easy to see and take down and reassembly are super easy.
I would suggest this over a Glock or M and P for first time pistol owners. Both fore mentioned are great firearms but I needed modifications and put an extra $100 or more into both Glocks and SW M and Ps to get the features needed to my liking where the Canik out of the box was excellent.
The Turkish government sucks but they know how to make excellent pistols for a great price. Another example of this is the Sarailmaz SR38 revolver. Decent quality 357 revolver for under $400. I wish other gun manufacturers could give us this quality and features for the $400 price point these guns give us. I usually have to pay $700+ to get everything out of handguns like the last 2 I mentioned.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Sootch! Caniks are awesome pistols- I have the 55, the SF and expect I'll wait for the Sub Compact which will eventually come out. Like you said, Great shooters, and in my opinion, very reliable, and less expensive than most of the same quality.
Thanks John! Happy Thanksgiving to you my friend.
I've got over 6,300 rds thru my tp9sa without a failure not one.I've used jhp,fmj 115,124,147gr and reman rounds no problems.I love this and can't wait to get this elite compact if it has the quality of my other tp it will be my ccw-only after I put a few thousand rounds thru without failure.I am very surprised and impressed with these gun and the trigger is very good.
Watching you shoot is more fun than actually going to the range 😂. This is possibly the most well engineered and designed pistol I have ever seen. Your videos are the absolute best!
I got one a few months ago for 399 out the door and man I like it way better than my Glock 43 witch was my EDC but this one is now
Another great unbiased review, keep up the great work Sootch! I look to you and Nutnfancy for honest, reliable information that usually makes my wallet cry LOL. We'll definitely be giving this pistol a lot of consideration alongside the Glock 19 and M&P Shield when the fiancée and I go shopping for her concealed carry upgrade.
Thanks brother. I'm a TNP'er as well : )
I love how the canik has a steel guide rod with flatwire spring!!!
