Canik TP9 Elite SC
The concealed carry market is getting more and more interesting as the days continue on. Canik just announced the release of their newest TP9 Elite SC (Sub Compact) 9mm pistol that also sports amazing capacity.
This pistol is clearly meant to compete with the SIG P365 and Springfield's new Hellcat pistol. It was teased starting early last month, but Canik's Facebook page has just announced that these pistols are now available.

Not sub compact. Too big, barrel to long, too high, bigger then. Springfield ‘s sub compact, bigger then the sig p365 and the Hellcat and probably heavier then either.
I was going to pick up that new Beretta APX….but the gun shop that had it priced theirs into the stratosphere, first I dropped that gun shop…. then I heard about the Canik and started doing my research. I then found ANOTHER gun store and they had their inventory priced competitively. They had the TP9.sa priced at $399.00. I scooped it up, bought 100 rounds of 115gr., and took it all up the street to the local gun range.
I shot ALL 100 rounds…..I fell in love by the end of the first mag. It has the decocker. I never understood why it’s an issue if you have your gun in a secured holster. I have no problems with the decocker.
Overall… I’m sure it’s going to outsell the Hellcat and Sig Sauer 365. I have mine on hold at my shop…. picking it up today!
So I know this new offering is going to be great.
those are micro this is a sub compact like a glock 26
700 bucks for a SIG 400 for this. You get what you pay for.
You have to try it out first, cost isn’t everything. There are some who simply can’t afford a 700 gun….so just buy a Canik, because Hi-points SUCK!!!!…..
I’m glad it’s finally out. I’ll be picking one up the tp9 is the best and smoothest guns there is
So this is longer than a p365xl, yet has a shorter barrel. It’s considerably wider then a p365 series, and a bit heavier than the xl. No night sights included.
But the standard p365 is $550, and the xl is $580. It will be a nice gun at a good price. But it’s not really in the same size category as a p365.
Can a local gun shop order these yet? My local hole in the wall garage shop said it wasnt carried by any distributor in the US. Where should they be looking to find it?
Bought mine last week. Ordered at my local range and had it within a week.
