Canik model questions

[Cygnus]

I’m new to this forum (hello) and looking for some help. Is anyone familiar with the Canik TP9 SF and the TP9 SF Elite? What are the differences? And curious why the standard SF is slightly more than the Elite.

Also, I understand that the early versions of the Elite had some trouble with RSA being too stiff, but Canik being willing to send a free reduced RSA. Does anyone know if the current Elite has the same issue or has that been resolved?

Thank you.

The Elite is just the compact version. Slightly shorter grip, holds 15rds instead of 18.

Recoil spring issues have been resolved with the Elites for a good while now. These Caniks are good guns, especially for the price. While not 100% clones, they are very “Walther-esque”.

I bought the PPQ P5 and then bought the Canik. I hope I'm not falling into the "if I pay more for it, it must be better!" but I really feel stupid when I see better groups from a gun that cost me half as much. There is rumbling about the price of these going up. To the point where some reviewers are suggesting they are at an investment price. As in the price is sure to go up. Odd?
