I bought a Canik C100 three weeks ago at Academy, $329+TTL. Haven't fired it yet due to the unavailability of 9mm Para. ammunition. This is my first 9mm, otherwise I probably would have had SOME ammo, but I did not.
I had been looking for a CZ 75D PCR for a while, with no luck at all, when I became aware of the Canik C100. CZs are almost impossible to find in my area at any price, so the Canik, at that price, seemed like a good idea. It is basically a copy of the CZ 75D PCR with a safety instead of a decocker.
The gun seems to be built really well, no rough tool marks inside or out, with
a finish that resembles the black poly-coat that CZ uses. I like that finish a lot, it's what's on my CZ RAMI .40sw, and it wears really well.
The gun is very slick functioning, as in slide movement, chambering rounds(I do have some "Factory Reloads" I picked up in a "gun swap" a few years ago, but I don't want to use them to evaluate a new gun), slide release, safety engagement, mag release, etc. I hope to get out to shoot it next week, and if it shoots as well as everything else works on the gun, I will be a happy camper.
I have two holsters for the CZ RAMI I mentioned, a High Noon paddle, and a Don Hume IWB, and the Canik fits in them both very well. I don't see a need to buy any holsters for it soon. And I am impressed with the Mec-Gar mags. They seem very well built, and relatively easy to load. With the furnished loading tool, of course.
So overall, if the gun shoots, with few or no FTF's, FTE's, etc, and is reasonably accurate, I will be very happy. Especially for the price.
And IF I can find some 9mm Para. ammo.:banghead:
