So last night I had the chance to take out my Christmas gift Canik TP9SF to an indoor range where I am to give it a go. It's my first pistol on ages, I used to have a TT33 that I sold and still regret it.

The Canik IMO as a newb-ish pistol shooter ran pretty good. I ran 124gr and 115gr totalling I think 130 rounds. Due to the range only having 5 lanes and being another group of people rotating out with us, I thin I rushed a bit. I noticed that it was grouping consistently down and left...and due to the fact that the other group of people were more traditionalist shooters only shooting a certain way (Not open to the idea of us setting up targets a bit closer) I didn't have a chance to really learn the trigger and look at what I was doing right or wrong with my trigger finger.

I'm pretty satisfied overall despite my own shortcomings of grip and trigger control, and I can confidently say that the trigger itself and overall feel is just as good or even a smidge better than a Glock (I've shot the Glock in 9mm, 10mm, .357, and .45 over the years).

Unfortunately I didn't have a picture worthy picture of a target to post to show the potential of this pistol.

I think this is a pistol for newer pistoleros to consider if they want to keep a pistol purchase under $1000, whilst staying away from Norinco. I have a feeling that as these guys become more popular here and in the US that the price could go up a bit.

Take my post for what it is or not, I'm out... time to refill my coffee.

Cheers!! ;)
 
The new Canik TP9 pistols are great! I own a TP9SA and a TP9SFX. Personally, I place them near the top of the Polymer pistol heap. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.

Down and to the left is generally shooter related versus pistol, IIRC. Keep practicing! :)
 
I've shot the TP9SA on a few occasions and it is a very nice pistol, great trigger and very accurate. I have no doubt they will become more popular with the new models out, and I expect to see a lot more of them competing in IDPA over the next couple of years.
Enjoy your new purchase, and I'm sure as you work out your grip, trigger pull etc your groups will improve :)

This. You're flinching.

It sounds like you were stuck with a bunch of 25 yard bullseye shooters, lol.

Exactly!!! It was their club bulls eye night apparently.
It was 5 guys with a range of .22 revolvers, one revolver that I couldn't identify that was break action with about a 15 foot barrel, and then my buddy and I with my Canik, and his Sigs and a 1911.

I have a feeling its a flinch. I think for my next session I'm going to get him to load my mags for me whilst sneaking in one or two dummy rounds to start to work on that.

This is a super way to see that you are flinching and to learn to stop doing it.

I save my dud rounds and put them in my pocket with a handful of good ammo. Each time I load a mag, I expect a dud or two.
