And there might lie your problem. Gun might have a tighter chamber then the others. Have you tried factory ammo? If you were close I'd give you 5 rounds.
I've got 2 .45's one runs flawless with my lighter hardcast loads, the other not so much. Both are set up relatively the same. Go figure.
Yes, I have used factory ammo. I initially started with 100 rounds of factory ammo (I like to run factory ammo when I first get any firearm). Same issue. Ran a box of 50 each time it was returned, same issue. The first time I ran WWB as this is what the Canik technician indicated he used when testing the gun. The second time around I ran Sellier and Bellot ammunition as ammo options started getting limited.
The only type of ammunition that I have not run through it, is SD ammo. I still have factory ammo, but I don't want to use it only to be frustrated when it happens again.
Thanks for the offer though.
Other users in the Canik Fanatic forum have indicated similar issues with Canik replacing their spring for a lighter one. I have been using only 124 and 125 gr ammo, but may look at going to 115gr ammo to see if that makes a difference.
I know the OP wanted feedback, I would recommend he fire one before pulling the trigger. It definitely feels more weighty than a Shield. It also has a rail for a light (Shield does not), can be converted fully for a left handed shooter (Shield cannot be changed out for a left handed magazine release, and it has a plate for an optic (Shield requires milling). And the trigger is awesome (changed out the Shield trigger for an Apex.
I really want to like the Canik, especially since it was a gift from the wife. It also is one of the few Canik firearms that have an ambidextrous slide release (switched the magazine release, but that was by far the most difficult thing I have run into compared to other manufacturers), and an option for an optic. Out of all the firearms I have it's the only one that gives me issues (except for a LEO purchase I made, but the issue there is with the sights not firing). Still not giving up on it. I take out the Tp9SF when I get frustrated to be reminded of how good my other Canik firearm is.
