The Classic P226: a quick first look

[Bartok5]

Newer Norks are finished much better; however the Caniks, some have written that they are an improvement over the Sigs; better trigger, shorter reset, improved ergonomics. I have not seen very many in the used market either; that is a good sign; but considering the number of norks sold, have not seen all that many of their NP22 in this used market either.

i have both, along with a selection of 30-odd other modern handgun designs. Thinking that a Canik were superior to a SIG P226 in any way, shape, or form is simply delusional. To begin with, they are apples and oranges - one is striker-fired, and the other is conventional hammer-fired. But that fundamental difference aside, the Canik simply does not and cannot stack up to a SIG ii most key regards. The Canik is very good value for the money and has a decent striker-fired trigger, but it is nowhere near the sophistication of the SIG P226.

Probably fairer to compare it to a SIG P320?



Anyway wasn’t trying to hijack this thread. One day I’ll probably purchase a true SIG P226 as they are simply awesome looking guns

Sorry, wrong pistol; the one I am thinking of is Turkish I believe, but not Canik Sarsimalz maybe?
