Does anyone own a Canik TP9

ok, let's have a poll. rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 for being whatever you think a conservative is. then on a scale of 1(flat as a little boy) to 10(freaky, ginormus funbags) rate your fantasy boob preference. this should be interesting.

Has anyone besides me noticed how sooner or later every post turns to talk of boobs? Why is that?

I think it's from hanging out with Jocko and Itxi. I pulled in two different directions..

The Stingray and Shark are both CZ clone guns, the Shark is alloy frame, Stingray as said all steel. I have one of of each and they have been very good. Trigger is a little better than my CZ75B.

Do parts interchange with one another? The Stingray and Shark and CZ75B? I'm curious about that.

Why not this Walther? It's actually cheaper than the Canik.

[muggsy]

Do you know why the Walther is less? Because Canik came out with a quality gun for less. If not for the Canik they wouldn't have lowered the price. Besides, the Walther has a crooked butt and square trigger guard and it's almost as ugly as a Glock.

There's been a big debate on how the name Canik is pronounced. Some want to make it sound French and pronounce it Canique. Others pronounce it as if it were spelled Canick. In the Turkey the C is pronounced as if it were the letter J as in Jocko and Canik is pronounced as if it were spelled Janik. Another good reason to buy this gun. So endith the the linguistic lesson.

Another point in favor of the MR9 is the decocker. For some reason on the TP9SA, Canik made the decocker render the gun unable to fire without retracting the slide. I suspect this had something to do with implementing the "SA" trigger. Normally with Walther pattern the SA models have a lighter pull than earlier, but they switch to a longer pull when the decocker is used. The gun can still be fired. With the TP9SA you are dead in the water when the button is pressed. I cannot fathom why Canik would have done such a halfway modification. The trigger on the MR9 is certainly acceptable and better than many other striker fired guns. I handled a TP9SA and while the trigger might be marginally better, it was not enough change to be preferable given the other disadvantages.

You've sold me on the MR9, John, and just as soon as I can scrape together twice the cost of the Canik TP9 I'm buying one. I never did like the concept of the TP9SA.

You'll notice I didn't start it this time. But while we're on the subject......

Anything too much larger than B can be a real pain in the back.

Self, repeat after me, I can resist...I can resist... I can resist........... Its not working. And the wife wants one too.

Ok, let me try to think of something else... is more than a hand full really too big?

Well I've heard what you can't get in your mouth goes to waste. I think Itxi told me that.

Don't recollect if it was a Canik or a MR9 he was speakin of. I'll have to go back and check my notes.

NOW THATS FUNNY!! That did it. I'm now thinking of something else. I now wonder if they can transplant an anaconda jaw into a human? They can get things much larger than their head into their mouths.

[Bawanna]

Now that's a fine idea. Create a whole beavy of new opportunities.

Certainly t'was not me! Back in the early 60's my good friend, Maurice Bower, usta say/tell me more than a mouthful's a waste. Really nice guy but the poor soul was seriously lacking in imagination.
