Canik S120 ... I Like!

[oldillini]

Anyone else have the Canik S120? Thought of worse ways to waste $345 when I picked one up after reading several positive posts on various forums. I was had been looking at CZ 75B, but couldn't convince myself to lay out $500+, especially since I would need to explain ot my wife.

But I was very, very pleased with the results this morning after the 1st outing. FYI .... I am not great shooter. Out of 75 rounds @ 8 yds, only 3 were flyers and I called all of them as the trigger broke. The rest were within a 4" circle, most within 3". Here are the first 2 shots I took with this gun.




Not a single FTE or FTF with the Canik. Gun is tight. Can't say how it will do with all 9mm, but functioned flawlessly with American Eagle 115gr RN.

Only a couple issues ...

1) The sights are not very good. The 3 white dots are very dull, almost a washed out light green.

2) The finish is a little dull, not crisp and clean. Cosmetic issue only. I know someone who does very nice finish work if I decide its important.

3) Accessories seem to be hard to find. I have ordered a couple extra 75B mags based upon some reports that they would work.

Any others out there who are impressed with the Canik, especially for $345?

I like the S-120 so much that I got another....I find the fit and finish to be great...those Turks make awesome weapons...hope they hold up as good as my Stoegers....

I've been considering one lately as well, like the cz75 looks for way less

I bought the Tistar C100 last year 500+ rounds with out issue runs great ,nicely finished for the price I like mine.

I've put about 200 rounds through my S-120 since I got it last year without a single hiccup. I haven't shot it enough to know how reliable it will be, but from the reviews I've read, these are very sweet pistols for the money. I couldn't find a CZ 75b so I bought the Canik and so far I've been very pleased with my purchase. Very well made guns IMHO.

I've got both the L120 and C100. Both function flawlessly. I have reviews of both here on the forums. Great guns for the money.
