I just got one myself! Already put a magwell flare, a reflex sight, 12 pound recoil spring, and a 3.5 pound trigger spring. Working to get all that broken in. So far, I absolutely love it!
This pistol was made for 124 & 147 gr. +p ammo. I confirmed that with Canik. I contacted Canik and they sent me a reduced tension spring, no charge. Mine was a tack driver right out of the box!
Did you contact canikusa or centryarms?
@@birdsta9247 It was awhile ago, but believe it was Canik
Was the reduced tension spring so you could shoot lower grain ammo?
@@antoniamilton8413 Yes, I rarely shoot 147.
@@antoniamilton8413 that’s the theory, but mine runs 115 with no issues, maybe a 500 rounds in.
I just got to shoot my pt9sfx for the first time a few days ago amd from straight out of the box i was hittin spot on but my friend was shootin a bit high with it. I absolutely love my canik. I am not gettin rid of it like i did my glock.
All of the springs I swapped out gave my weapon exceptional performance. However , swapping out the striker spring caused several failures to eject. Put the stock back in worked fine. Awesome video!
I included links for every part in the video description for anyone interested. If you have any experiences or questions about upgrading the TP9 SFx, feel free to share them in the comments!
thank you
No problem!
@@LongTermReviews can I use the wolf 1911 commander spring you have linked in the description on the stock guide rod? or do I have to get an after market rod? Thanks!
The stock guide rod should be a captive spring. I wouldn't recommend attempting to swap springs out on the factory recoil spring assembly.
@@LongTermReviews Thanks. I'll try to run it with the glock striker spring and the stock recoil assembly and if it does not work then I'll order a new guide rod.
Great video man. Straight to the points with explanations and visuals
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you so much!!! I LOVE THAT TRIGGER!!! Solved the ONLY problem with this trigger system. the takeup
Why is take up a problem? It's gone by the time you acquire the target.
@@warrenrosen2326 agree
Thank you for your post, you seem very knowledgeable and I learned a lot.
If you like the Walther P99AS you'll love the SFX or elite compact or subcompact in my opinion the Walther P99 platform is the absolute best striker fired guns ever and all the Caniks are a very very good copy or clone
I love my SFX
Greatest striker fire stock trigger I have ever experienced.
1:30 point being made is so important. Thanks man.
Thanks! I'm not quite in the camp of never modifying defensive guns at all, but the modification to the safety plunger spring in particular would really give me pause. I'd hate for somebody to change a safety feature on their gun after watching this video and then have some sort of accident.
@@LongTermReviews i here you man. It's not for everyone.
It's those factory sights they use. There's a 1cm gap on both sides of the front sight from the dovetail. I'm 6'2"... With full extension it's still hard to shrink that floating gap.
Upgrade is necessary for consistency.
Aside from the sights, I'm kind of in love with this firearm. Nothing else I've tried can touch a canik for the price,
Great guns overall.
Ya I agree the irons could use an upgrade I have the blacked out rear and whit circle . I would like fiber optic in frount then green o. The back. Know of y good yet affordable sights?
@@chriszachem2012 I think they run glock fron sights, and m&p rears.
As far as fitting a new set, there are a few forums that cover exact dimensions of what's needed, I can't remember off the top of my head what sizes they take.
Just ordered a TP9sfx two days ago in Tungsten Grey like yours in the video. Mine is coming with a Vortex Venom red dot sight.
The only thing I plan on upgrading almost right away is the trigger. I've already heard the Canik TP9sfx triggers are very good, but
I still want to upgrade mine to the Freedomsmith Fat Daddy trigger in red. I think a red trigger with the red dot Vortex Venom sight
with the Tungsten Grey finish of the gun will look pretty damn awesome. Aside from that I'll keep the rest of the weapon stock for
awhile. Eventually I'll upgrade some internals but I'm also a newbie so I don't know what all I should consider upgrading. This will
be the first firearm I've ever owned. Can't wait to get out to the local range with it and to bring it camping in the Summer months.
Where were you able to order it with the sight? All the stores near me only have the SC with the sight
@@cdawg764 I ordered mine from the local Black Sheep where I live. Came equipped with a Vortex Venom red dot sight and I also got a compensator for it as well.
FYI on your Striker spring weight if you're worried about not letting off your ammo Glock Factory Strikers are 5.5 lb so you've got a pound and a half of extra Force to light off that primer I would say you're good to carry that based on the spring configuration weights
Thank you for a well reasoned video. Recently purchased a Canik TP9 SFx and your analysis and approach to upgrades makes sense. For USPSA competition shooting using minor power factor loads, pistol is over-sprung from the factory. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks!
My local store has 2 in Stock (2 tone and black) price was a bit high though $570 and $550. Still worth it you think or wait for prices to go down.
In normal circumstances I'd say that's high, but I don't anticipate seeing lower prices before January at the earliest, unfortunately.
So you have decades of experience designing and building handguns. Got it. Thanks.
Love my canic sfx, no more untill they make extra mags to sell me along with
I have 13lb recoil spring an 5.5 lb striker spring, both for glock ,works great for me.
Thank you for the video. I have the SFX and the Elite and the SC. Three of my favorite pistols. CANIK makes a great firearm.
Good video, but myself, I'm not changing a darn thing.....love this weapon as is, along with the other six different series of the TP9's I have............to each his own and what you did is great, just not my thing.......I do like the magwell...a lot.....thanks.
I wouldn't change anything either considering there is a recall on it.
@@quincygillespie5950 The only recall I am aware of is almost if not 4 years ago.......covers the SA, SF, SFx, Elite etc.....it's a voluntarily recall for dropping gun (numerous times actually, called abuse). That's an issue taken care of years ago. Knock on wood, I haven't dropped a weapon since my dad brought me home my Daisy Red Ryder in 1962....lol. If you own a Ruger, ya better check recalls.....more recalls than any modern semi-auto weapon out there (fact checked). There has only been one recall since the TP9 series was introduced to the USA. I just bought another TP9 yesterday, Elite Combat Executive....what a beauty.....thank care my friend.
Agreed
The freedomsmith trigger actually increased trigger pull slightly. We have two TP9SFX pistols one with the new trigger a one still stock. Stock pulls at 3.75 and the Freedomsmith at 4.5 although the quicker reset and reduced travel. The reviewer is dead on with the essential pairing of the upgrade spring kit with the trigger upgrade.
Good review!
Thanks. I didn't have a trigger scale handy when I did the upgrade, so I appreciate this data.
Stock pulls way less than that. You need to watch some more video's. 1 video I just watched was 3.11 to 3.14 lbs.
you have to install a split ring on the trigger return spring to reduce the weight after the freedomsmith upgrade. it will drop the weight to lower than stock.
That's a good point. I actually bought split rings to lengthen the trigger return spring, but found the trigger to be to my liking after swapping the trigger spring. With split rings on the return spring I wouldn't be surprised by a sub 3 lb pull at all, if I kept everything else as it currently is on the gun.
@@LongTermReviews
#2 split ring to slightly reduce the trigger return spring tension, FS trigger, Ghost Glock 6.5lb striker spring, Ghost Glock reduced power block plunger spring, internals polished - trigger pull: 1lb 12oz.
I’ve done all this to the new rival, man it’s a beautiful thing
I have a factory tp9 Sfx in black/fde so far I love the gun still getting used to the trigger as I’m used to a stock glock 17 g5 trigger other than that guns pretty great
I have the Canik TP9 SFX. I really like the trigger out of the box. I have a lot of really good hand guns and found the Canik is very nice to shoot and very accurate. I like the mag well you added and I will do that. I am concerned about the paint coming off the slide. I think you should address that. I don't think paint should come off from tape. ( unless you used a Gorilla Tape ). You need to get that fixed.
Agreed, I've had a pretty good experience too. The finish is really the only issue I've had with this firearm. I was just using the typical 3M masking tape, so I was surprised the finish came off.
I haven't decided if I want to address it through Canik or get it custom Cerakoted in a super rad color. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Trigger is pretty freaking awesome considering the MSRP on this beauty
There's a decent amount of aftermarket support for them but the stock Canik TP9sfx is probably much better than other brands costing much more they perform pretty good even stock the gun is better than 90 percent of handguns sold and I'm not considering 1800-3000+ dollar custom 1911s-2011s other than a good 1911 that has a tuned trigger nothing l know of will touch a Canik TP9SFX with a freedomsmith trigger and it's billet and under 80 dollars the quality of it for the cost is very good so is the outcome after installed a average person can afford it l got my SFX without the RMR optics for 460 dollars with tax and call in included
I would be concerned that the base coat or the banking however Sarah coating is done it's going to be defective in more areas of your gun than just what you happen to find. And it comes off that easy there's probably a corrosion concern but you're right it doesn't impede the function of the gun yet
The stock trigger is awesome but with the freedomsmith trigger installed it's the absolute best striker fired trigger l ever felt l didn't do the grip tape on mine but l did do the freedomsmith trigger Galloway guide rod and spring and night fision yellow green sights l also have a Walther PPQ navy 9mm that is stock the SFX with a stock trigger are equal in trigger pull weight and reset but since l put the freedomsmith trigger in the SFX it has removed 50 percent or more of the trigger take up it is noticeable trigger pull weight is now 3.5 pounds compared to just under 5 for the Walther l absolutely love both your going to love the SFX l sold my Springfield XDM 5.25 that had a 165 dollar trigger upgrade to get the SFX and the SFX had a better trigger stock than the XDM did with the 165 upgraded trigger there is no comparison with the freedomsmith trigger installed it was the best decision ever selling the XDM and replacing it with the SFX if you get the sights adjusted it is very very accurate mine has also been extremely reliable so far
I am trying to decide between the Galloway guide rod and spring or the Sprinco kit. Not sure what the differences are. What ammo can you shoot with the Galloway spring?
@@disco4535 l don't know much about sprinco but l have a 22 pound spring and guide rod from Galloway precision the gun comes stock with a 19 pound spring and l shoot factory 115 grain ammo and so far with the 22 pound guide rod it's been flawless with no reliability issues so far with 300 rounds through it it took some of the recoil out of it not that it had a lot before with the stock spring but it seems to be on target faster with follow up shoots with the 22 pound spring for me but remember someone else may totally disagree with my opinion
When I took my concealed carry class there was the instructor and two other students besides myself. Neither the instructor or other students could fathom why I would make any changes to any gun, no matter that I explained that I had many guns for different reasons. It always came back the same to them ~ " What if you have to use it for self-defense? " . To them that was the only purpose possible I guess.
I have to get my hands on one before i can start upgrading the whole pistol. I just want the pistol to be my self defense pistol and my home defense as well. I will probably buy the sights and biy a few magazines and call it a day
Freedomsmith trigger is the best up grade you can do for the Canik.
Just do it, you want be disappointed
It's insane I couldn't believe it 😳😳😳😳😳
Thanks for the tip
Maybe not disappointed, but out a buck anda half for no benefit.
To avoid pulling the cerakote off of your gun, Use the 3m Blue or the Green Frog Tape. ;)
Great Video. For my Canik SFX, I recently ordered a TF weight kit (Back strap, 3 mag extensions and mag well flare, plus 1 extra mag extension all brass) with custom Ceracote. I plan on mounting a Holosun 507K on it, (Love Holosun circle dots) however I understand some modification of the optic is involved. I'm planning on competing, and I could tell the gun would benefit from some extra vertical mass. Got a Red X holster; seems like a good entry level holster. Tungsten guide rod looks pretty cool. Gonna wait on the trigger mod, but I do have the safety plunger spring ready to replace.
trigger is backordered for another 5-6 months and then they MIGHT start creating new orders. Something about how their manufacturer is behind and trickle in product each week but are very slow because of covid. at least disruptive defensive (FB/Soon their own site) will be launching their new SFX Compressor in April.
Where did you find the matching color flared mag well? I’ve looked on the Taylor Freelance website and all I saw was either a shiny silver or black.
Mine came straight from Taylor Freelance as a set. You might be able to find it on their website by looking for "weight kits." It looks like you can find the magwell on its own at the link below if you're interested in just the magwell. For reference I'm using the Brass cerakoted to Tungsten color model.

I think I might just rub the rest of the finish off, it seems you are liking the piece in general, in your place I would rub it off, I think there are some decent diy refinish things out there . I was really commenting to say cool sights , I’m going to have to copy you on that I think, and thanks for all the info on this complete, it seems I sort of inherited one, I wasn’t going to keep it, but I keep seeing all this positive content on it.
The Front and backsights you have listed fits without preparing them, so fits Out of the Box?
I want to Change the sights of my black Rival, coz i prefer the 3 Dots aiming
Mine fit out of the box. It was super tight, but I think the stock sights may have been tighter. I did use a pusher tool rather than the metal piece that Dawson Precision sent me. It's also worth mentioning that I'm not an expert gunsmith, so I'm sure somebody could disagree with me on how well they fit.
I like what you did over all to your pistol made a really nice race gun out of it and still looks good. For me all that is a bit to much. My first thing is to get four more 20 rounders, got to feed the beast. Canik offers night sights so that would be next. I like your mag weld device it adds to the weapons looks and its a great addition for faster mag reloads. I will get a hologram mini. Sometime later. There no competition in my future but very much like longer barrel pistols to give my 147gr HP more velocity and of course better accuracy. I go hunting and exploring alot in our wilderness so I am always armed with a long gun and pistol not really for four legged creatures.
Where do you get the brass back strap and mag well?
I ordered them from the Taylor Freelance website.
Would you recommend the Freedom Smith trigger if I plan on daily carrying?
Great Video !!! Super Helpful. Thank You for doing it..
Glad you liked it!
Great information, thank you for making the video and sharing. I'm looking to buy a rival or tps sfx cant decide. Gotta get my hands on a canik to see how it feels
Is there a reason that the paint is coming off of the Slide so badly?
Nice video bro! For my Canik Rival i just ordered the w74 tungsten guide rod with a 14 & 15lb commander spring , the sprinco trigger spring kit and 29 newton striker spring and of course the brass back strap and mag extensions. I heard it’s a very nice upgrade so we will see. Any recommendations?
I’ll buy upgrades when I can find freaking mags!
Walther PPQ m2 9mm mags work if it helps you to locate some.
I've wanted this gun for a while and finally bought it. I normally shoot a Dan Wesson 1911. I dont notice much of a difference between this guns trigger break and my 1911. Its a little heavier, maybe a lb, but just as crisp.
The only reason I'd replace the trigger is the uptake is a lot. I will do the springs right away. I have large hands so I'll probably look at hogue for a grip wrap. Great review, and remember, 100 ounces in a pound
Thanks for the comment and the chuckle. I haven't had the pleasure of shooting a Dan Wesson, but I've wanted to and I've heard good things about them.
I think you're spot on with the trigger. The spring upgrades are cheap, and will improve the pull weight. If you really want a less travel in the trigger, the Freedomsmith is the solution for that.
Again, thanks for the thoughts!
@@LongTermReviews If your ever in Ct, lmk. We'll go shoot both
Sounds great! I'll do it if I'm ever out that way.
The only thing this gun can be compared to a DW 1911 would be the length of break cause they are not even in the same ball park.
@@quincygillespie5950 shot a DW competitively for years. I do believe I know what the differences are
Do you have any videos showing the install of the trigger?
Also, is that the talon grip?
Unfortunately I didn't film my install process, as it was my first time installing one of these triggers, so it would have sounded like I was making it up as I went. I did use this video, th-cam.com/video/OaWTXYCyQgM/w-d-xo.html, by Galloway Precision as a guide.
The only thing I did differently was to leave the fire control unit in place (the part they take out at the beginning). Instead, I disconnected the action bar from the trigger return spring in the fire control unit, and pulled the action bar out once it was disconnect from the trigger. Their process works though, for sure. You can use a roll of masking tape on its edge in place of the bench block and save yourself a few bucks.
Those are in fact Talon grips, the rubberized texture variant. They're very straightforward to apply if you've got a hair dryer or heat gun handy.
Brandon Rader has a trigger install video that doesn’t require full strip down to install the FS trigger. I typically do a full take down to check the parts for burrs, etc. but if you just want to do a trigger swap, Brandon’s vid shows the easy way to do it with minimal takedown
Thanks for the video. Well thought out !
Is your front sight height .375 as you stated or .275? I am looking into this same sight set up and Dawson suggests .285 - .300 with the Glock adj rear sight
Just went back and checked my confirmation email from Dawson Precision and I'm using the 0.375" tall front sight. You're right, the rear sight does recommend the .285 - .300.
Two possible explanations are 1) the sights aren't being installed on a Glock, and maybe the Canik has different geometry between the barrel and top of the slide, and 2) my shots with the factory sights were impacting high, so it may be a fluke of me or my particular gun that required a higher front sight.
I'm not a sight expert, so if there's any question in your mind I'd say buy the rear sight, adjust it to the middle of its range and shoot it with the factory front sight at 15 yards. Then take your target and a set of callipers and head to the sight calculator on Dawson Precision's website. It may take a little more time, but you'll know you're ordering the right front sight.
Long Term Reviews my SFX is set up exactly as yours is so I am sure the results will be very similar
I'd be surprised if the it didn't work. The rear sight also has a significant amount of adjustment, so as long as it's in the ball park you should be able to dial it in. Best of luck!
What is on your grip tape? Stock?
The tp9sfx is already front heavy I wouldn't want anymore weight to the front
Not a fan of the blackout rear sight. Looking at the Tritium Pro
I skipped around so sorry if you talked about it but your timestamps don't include the magwell
I believe I talked about the magwell in a previous video. th-cam.com/video/0IEZFd3ORks/w-d-xo.html
Are you able to send the slide in to someone who could maybe refinish it for you?
I was hoping that would be a possibility. I'd love to be able to send mine in once it's
looking a lil beat up like yours and have it sent back to me in maybe a different color
all together. It would be badass if your slide matched the color of your trigger.
I could, and I've had a similar thought about trying to match the trigger, but it's not super high on my priority list. She's a workhorse, not a looker.
How can i buy a magwell for my Canik TP9SF Elite?
I believe Taylor Freelance did recently introduce a magwell for the TP9 elite variants. I don't have an Elite, so I can't confirm it works with your model, but it's worth looking into. I think it's the Elite Carry Magwell.
I wish they made those triggers in shiny chrome.
Would this work on the elite models?
I need to find the canik tp9sfx whiteout edition somewhere
Good luck! I'm not sure where to point you, but maybe somebody else will chime in. You might check some of the resale websites like gunbroker and armslist, depending on how desperate you are.
If you aren't too picky about the factory finish you could always get a standard colored model and have it cerakoted.
SILK334 all over gunbroker
I have one, found it at a shoot smart gun range. Went there looking for the regular one found that by surprise. I'm happy with my purchase. I'm definitely interested in making sum of these upgrades mentioned in the video
Where did you get the magwell?
I ordered it from Taylor Freelance.
Green painters tap instead of masking tape.
I have the same pistol and trigger. But mine is purple.
Hello, great video what model Glock is the rear sight from. Thanks
Hi, thanks!
My rear sight isn't a stock Glock sight. It's an aftermarket sight from Dawson Precision. The SKU for the part from their website is 017-013. Here's a link as well. dawsonprecision.com/dawson-precision-glock-adjustable-rear-sights/
Hey ... great video. I was able to view all the parts you suggested, except the one for the trigger return spring. It appears to be part number 87885. Is this correct? A prompt response will get you a new subscriber ... deal?
I'm not sure if 8 hours later counts as prompt or not, but that part number should be correct. Thanks for mentioning the link wasn't effectively communicating the required part, I'll include the part number in the video description!
Where's the optic?
What about the grip? Is that grip tape or?? I like the look and I’m sure it’s comfortable
Yeah! They're Talon Grips. I'm not a big fan of sandpaper textures, so I'm running the rubber variant. They make a grittier texture as well if that's more your speed. I think I paid somewhere around $20 for them, and they do remove with very little residue if you ever need to take them off.
I used a hair dryer to apply them, and they've been rock solid for me. I know I'll have to replace them eventually, but for the price of a box of ammo, I'm not going to sweat that.
I tried the talon rubber grips and to me it felt like slicker than stock. I went with and paper grips and love the feel. Not for carry gun. Cause it would not be comfy against your waist. But for a comp pistol Holy moly I love it.
@@LongTermReviews wher did you order you Talon Grips.
I just ordered them off Amazon for convenience. You should be able to find them by searching "Talon Grips Canik" with very little trouble.
How do I keep my from flacking like yours?
From what I understand it's mostly related to heat. I only noticed mine started flaking after I left it in the glove box on more then a few hot summer days.
that should be replaced under warranty, it's a horrible flaw that although doesn't affect performance, it may have a long term effect on durability but it sure does look like crap. I'd probably buy a Walther instead just because of that.
Don't put masking tape on it.
Thanks!
Laser links??
I just don’t see a reason for a trigger switch.
Exactly, stock trigger is great. But some people just have money to burn....lol
Where did you buy the magwell from?
Taylor Freelance. I bought it as part of their weight kit, but they offer it as a standalone product as well.
Never baby a gun. Beat hard!
I swapped mine out for an M&P 9
You missed the description on the mag well flare??
I probably should have addressed it in this video too, but I'd already covered the magwell and magazine extensions in a previous video. Long story short, they're from Taylor Freelance, and I highly recommend both if your division allows them.
@@LongTermReviews yes it’s allowed, the site is kinda not straight forward so I had a bit of an issue navigating the items for this particular gun and how to put certain things in the cart to jazz this one up
Where did you purchased the Tungsten Guide Rod?
I bought it from W74 Guiderods. w74guiderods.com/product/canik-tp9sfx-guide-rod/
@@LongTermReviews The Wolff recoil spring you used is the Colt Commander Spring that is sold as a 45 ACP recoil spring, correct?
If you don't mind me asking, how much did the complete upgrade cost you?
Sure.
I didn't track what I paid at the time, but current pricing for all upgrades shown, including the brass grip hardware and Talon grips and excluding shipping costs, is right around $500. The sights alone are over $100 for the set, and the current price for the brass backstrap and 3 baseplates from Taylor Freelance is around $200. The trigger and tungsten guide rod make up the bulk of the rest, with the springs costing less than $20 total.
Hope that helps!
@@LongTermReviews Thank you so much LTR. Great vid by the way.
No problem! Thanks for the views and comments, I appreciate it.
That’s definitely suppressor height sights
Does it come with that same grips that it has
How do you replace the trigger return spring?
I just used a dental probe to hook one end and pull it off. If I recall, I did this while the trigger was disconnected from the action bar, so it was pretty easy to relieve the pressure on the spring and manipulate it freely.
You don't.
Is that gun huge or do you have tiny hands?
I mean, I don't have beefsteaks for hands, but it's definitely not a small gun.
Made practically all same upgrades but curious why your reducing your guid rod spring rate? If your shooting in competition and recoil reduction and faster follow up shots is your goal, you should be increasing your guide rod spring rate. The lighter the guide rod spring is the faster your slide slams rearward causing “noodling”. Increasing the guide rod will create less barrel rise as it slows the slide and gives more of a straight rearward push. You have a great starting point with the tungsten guide rod but I believe you stated a 14# guide rod and shooting 115gr. Your sweet spot for fastest follow up shots should be around a 18#-22# guide rod. Best way to test it maybe get an 18, 20, & 22# and try some drills. Quick recession 3-5 shots with each spring rate and check your group size. You will find your groups shrink respectively. A shot timer helps. I did notice a slight difference with the springs but noticed more of a difference from highly polishing the seat, disconnecter, plunger and trigger bar as well as inside the trigger housing where sear & disconnector runs than I did with the springs. The biggest improvements to be made are with a 20# guide rod spring and sending the slide/barrel off to Magnaport to have the barrel Quadra ported. (About $100) The Quadra ports aren’t huge but certainly noticeable when shooting 115gr and makes for fast follow up shots. May not be as noticeable if your downloading to meet a low PF.
While you are correct in saying a heavier recoil spring results in a faster cyclic rate, it does add more spring tension on the slide's return forward. This ends up playing a huge factor when considering muzzle "bounce" as the slide slams forward. Most slides hang times, with varying spring tensions, are negligible as they happen during recoil. A softer slide coming home is much easier to maintain on target and more predictable following recoil. Nic has a great video about varying recoil spring weights: th-cam.com/video/w3UVLm2GajI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NicTaylor00
Trigger?
It's the thing you put your finger on to make the gun go bang.
Why you diddlin with irons? Mount an sro.
An optic on the pistol would put me in Open in 3 gun, and I'm not quite that high speed.
@@LongTermReviews I set it up the way I like and disregard divisions.
get the 45 blast thats all you need
Gun is perfect as is but yeah let’s see
What grip did you use?
It's the rubber texture Talon Grip. I don't like the feel of really rough things, so I opted for the rubber texture over their grippier skateboard deck texture.
@@LongTermReviews thank you!
No problem! Have a good one.
I always wonder when people will buy what they want from the start...no upgrades needed...
I just got one , and it keeps jamming ! It sucks
@ToddLB4567. I’ve read that a lighter recoil spring will fix that. Just my .02
@@alanaz4265 Yeah I guess they are sending me one, It sucks contacting the company because you cant talk to anyone because of the china flu , they work from home, but they dont take calls or call you !!!!
I had a similar experience. After my recoil spring broke in it was reliable. Getting the lighter recoil spring should definitely fix your problem.
I got one new TP9SFX when they 1st came out and had a few issues with failure to eject (using blazer brass 115 grain). I contacted Canik and they mailed me out the lighter spring for my guide rod and it has worked flawlessly going on 3 years or longer now.
Let's see you do a LBS test on that... I am willing to bet you will not beat the factory trigger
My SFx trigger breaks at 1lb 12oz...fairly sure that’s a bit lighter than factory. :)
@@rched2 - Sure it does

ROFL. My thread on tuning the SFX is linked below. I have been tuning Caniks for years. A sub-2lb trigger on any of their striker fired models is easy.

@@rched2 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sure
Weapon is telling the truth. Read the thread and look at the trigger pull gauge pics. Join the forum and ask the hundreds of members who have followed his mods. Best to knkw what your talking about before you question someone's knowledge and capabilities.
I think the new rival Grey one is so sexy I wanted to turn in my tungsten model never fired to upgrade to the rival but they said I'd still owe 450$ just for the rival and that if I traded in my swampfox justice I walked out like ahh nah fuck that
Thanks for your comments but I totally disagree.
Niiiiice!!!
My dude my canik came with some bad a$$ sights lol.
Since the Trigger is unavailable and not GOING to be available for a very long time, if anyone has one, in their gun and not using it, or have a spare they are willing to sell, HIT ME UP.

I got one, and man, it failed to much. :(
What ammo? They are setup for 9mm NATO and not 9mm Luger. 9mm Nato is hotter by a decent margin.
That's strange, i've put about 1500 rounds since I got it 2 years ago and only one malfunction in the first 100. Though I was using 124 grain instead of 115.
I bought mine about 3 mo ago and the newer ones come with different springs in them to accommodate 115gr box ammo. I haven't had a problem shooting 115gr, but I mostly do shoot the 124gr. Only mod I have is the lighter plunger spring. The take-up is softer, and the wall becomes more pronounced. But the break and pull weight are not changed.
@@rched2 even of that's true....that should NOT be an issue...name one 9mm that wasn't a hi point or Taurus that couldn't feed and fire both. No gun over $250 should have that as an issue in this century
Probably shooting high because your shooting 115 grain and it's made for heavier loads
Inside of the gun looks like a Ruger security 9
Never trust a dude that chews his nails worse than frodo after he held the ring for a year! Thats the easiest way to detect a beta!
