Does anyone have alot of experience with Turkish firearms? Any Turkish collectors out there?
I have gotten back into firearms collecting and shooting this past year since I am between undergrad and overgrad schooling, and I have developed an affinity for budget oriented guns. After purchasing a few Rugers, I picked up an EAA SAR B6P made by Sarsilmaz. It is another poly CZ clone, but it shoots like a dream and for $300, I am in love. I like it so much that I talked my dad into buying the Compact version since he is starting to shoot again as well.
I have been browsing the internet, searching for budget guns for myself and some friends who want some inexpensive but quality blasters, and I keep coming back to the Turkish guns. The Sarsilmaz pistols (B6P, K2, etc) the Caniks (TP9, TP9SA, the 120 and 100 series) just seem like such good buys to me. I'm starting to prefer them even over my usual "go-to" brand, Ruger!! Even the rebranded Turkish shotguns seem to be equal quality and less price than the competition.
Politics aside, am I going down a road that will lead to dissapointment or will these Turkish imports keep me and my wallet happy??
