Hiya Guys 
.
if you are ready cut the thread on the Winchester I just posted, you already knew this was coming, if not, oh well, your here anyway.
This is the second gun that I picked up when I closed escrow on a trade deal this morning, just in time for Christmas.
This is the new Turkish Canik TP9-SA 9mm, that most people are calling a Walther P99 clone and that everyone else is talking about. I was expecting this to be a hammer fired 9mm because that's what they're advertising it as, however it's not, it's a Striker Fired setup instead, which IMO negates the entire argument over what people are calling the decocker button.
IMO, since there's no external hammer and it's Striker Fired I think it's a good thing because this eliminates the big No-No of pulling the trigger (ala' glock) in order to field strip it for cleaning and maintenance. About the only time you need to push the button is to decock the striker and disable the trigger before pushing the takedown lever and pulling the slide. If for some odd reason you have push that big red button fever and you can't resist pushing it just because which disables the trigger, all you need to do to rearm it is Bump the slide like 1 centimeter. So, unless you're planning on field stripping one of these, just don't push the button it's just that simple.. it's not really a button that sticks up anyway, it's right in front of the rear sights, and it sits flush and level with the slide, so when you push it, it actually drops below the level of the slide so it's not a problem. And, is Forrest Gump says, that's all I have to say about that.
For a $400 9mm, I would say this thing is pretty much on par with the Sig 2022, and feels the same. A polymer frame, steel slide, steel siglite type 3 dot sights & the balance feels the same that my 2022 did as well. A lot old people are raving about the single action trigger being fantastic on this, which, IMO, it's not. I've felt better single action triggers so it's not fantastic but it's not too bad either. it has a little teacup and about a 4.5 pound pull with a decent break but you can't expect too much from a striker-fired handgun, I'm sure if it had an external hammer it would be much nicer.
I got this in the original case with everything it comes with new like a speed loader Gizmo, cleaning kit, paperwork & a trigger lock. But, but I also got with this was a CZ Blackhawk Serpa Style polymer holster, and a spare slide and Barrel assembly with all the little metal pieces to build a second tp9 if I pick up another polymer frame. I also got four 18 rd mags & one 18+2 button magazine. all in all it turned into a really nice deal this morning.
