sorry, but i only have the TP 9 SF

i cannot say much, except it's a terrific gun.

i did have to contact Century Arms, for a "lighter" recoil spring assembly, as i do not shoot NATO loads, and i was getting continuous stove piping?

so after say about 1 month, it arrived, and my TP 9 SF shoots like no tomorrow.

115 gr or 124 gr, both work well, but NOT steel ammo!! brass only.

How do you like the trigger?
 
I have a TP9 SA, not sure how it compares, but mine is a nice gun that shoots well and has never failed.
It's comfortable in the hand and seems to shoot where I point it.
The gun pictured is a good looker, if it's as good a gun as the SA, it's a winner.
 
I have the Elite and really love it. I have had no issues of any kind. It has run any ammo I've tried. My range ammo when I bought it was 115 grain Blazer Brass. I shot a steel challenge match today with Federal 150 grain Syntech ammo.

Great trigger and and sights out of the box.
 
I have an SFX and a SF.

Awesome pistols. I put a Freedomsmith trigger in the SFX.

They have some of the best out of the box triggers I've seen on polymer pistols.
I have an SFX with a Freedom smith trigger as well. The only thing i disliked about the SFX was that the reach wasnt far enough. The FS trigger fixed that.

Even with the short lop it has a better trigger than any striker fire pistol ive owned, and better than any i can remember trying.
 
I heard good things about it from a friend of mine who regretted trading his in for a Sig p320. I found one cheap on Grabagun and took a chance.

I absolutely love it. It's easily my my most accurate pistol. It's comfortable in my basketball-palming large hands and the trigger out of the box is better than any other factory trigger I've encountered. Personally, I love the Warren sight so much, that I put a set on my Glock 40.

While I read about the gun being sprung for NATO ammo, the one I have has eaten up all factory ammo and handloads that I've thrown in it, from 115 to 147gr and from plinkers to hot. I've settled on a nice range load of 4.2gr of bullseye under a RMR 124gn FMJ. I have not tried steel and really don't intend to.

I'm sold on Caniks and I'm currently looking for a 5 inch barrel SF. I assure you that you won't be sorry that you picked one up!
 
You can't go wrong with a TP9SF Elite! I have had 3 Caniks, love them, great pistols! I still have my sfx topped with a vortex venom. The only reason I sold my Elite was that I wanted a smaller carry gun. But really whats not to like, just over $300, great trigger, really nice sights, mags hold 15 rounds etc.

Caniks come with better and easier to learn triggers than glocks. My caniks always go bang when I pull the trigger. Never had a bit of trouble with them.

When you break your elite in use the 124 grain 9mm. The recoil spring assembly is a little stiff. the heavier bullets seem to help any break in problems.
 
I had one and liked it. The trigger was very nice. The sights came sighted in about three inches low and left. I called the importer and they said that this was common. You might need to work with the sights. Supposedly you can work in a Glock rear sight to get an adjustable sight if you want that. I think the trigger was the high point for me. I think they make a nice gun.
 
it has the 3rd best factory trigger on a striker pistol I have ever handled. The best being on the tp9 combat elite executive with the salient arms trigger in it, so that's a bit of a cheat. And I liked the cz p10 trigger a lot as well. Depending on the individual gun and my preferences that day, the p10 and the tp9 kind of flip flop between #2 and #3 on my list.

as far as I can tell, the elite model is basically just a glock 19 sized gun to the tp9 glock 17 size.
 
. Looks like it has a lot going for it. Seems Turkey is really stepping up to the plate in the gun world. High quality guns at a affordable price. Have been reviewing the EAA Girsan Regard and another gun I am interested in. Thanks for posting.
