Canik TTI whats in the Box and First thoughts.

So as some of you know I am a huge Canik Fan, not that other firearms are inadequate I just fell in love with the triggers and feel of these striker fired pistols. They are by far for the price point as Canik says “SUPERIOR FIREARMS”. Not only is the price point amazing for this quality of pistol most of them come with a bunch of extra goodies. So lets take a look at whats inside the TTI.

Canik TTI Box

Inside of the TTI box you will find just about everything you need to get on the range, and to keep the firearm happy except lube/oil. At a first glance the TTI comes in a super nice case which has everything you would need. Included with the TTI is everything you see minus the Trijicon SRO. (I was in a super hurry to get this thing on the range so the official unboxing never came lol) This comes with two magazines, a cool little tool kit(looks like a Canik), optic mounting plates, two additional back-straps for different size hands.

What else can they do to give you an amazing pistol at a great cost? Well Canik knows how to deliver, they also give you with the TTI. A holster, Magazine loader, cleaning brush, cleaning rod, commemorative coin, low force recoil spring, and of course a cheap trigger lock.

As far as a break in on the pistol first thing I recommend doing is cleaning the pistol, Caniks are shipped with factory grease and anti-corrosion solvents. Clean the grease off and use some quality firearm oil there are a ton to choose from but I either use Pro-Shot products 1-step or Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil. I normally will run a few hundred 124gn round through just to loosen the spring up. Then its off to the races! THOUGHTS: Another Great Canik Trigger, with this being a comped gun the 2nd followup shot is about right on the money, I will be doing more videos shortly for now you can check out some of the Canik TTI short videos on our YouTube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/@PureVisonTrainingSolutions

Canik, the good and bad

So there I was hanging at the range with my Smith and Wesson M&P 9, I always loved my SW pistols as they were the first striker fired pistols I had owned. This particular day we were at a local weekend event called blessing of the guns, unfortunately the guy who owned the range sold his place so the blessing no longer happens. Anyway as we shot some of the competitions I noticed a guy shooting a pistol with a red dot at clay pigeons at about 100 yards no these were not flying they were just setup on the ground. Intrigued, I first of all had never seen a red dot on a pistol and second I’ve never seen a Canik. I was able to check it out and a few days later went and found one at my local gun shop.

The Box

I purchased a Canik TP9 Elite Combat oh man was I exited to get on the range with this thing so what is the TP9 Elite Combat. Well it’s one of the best pistols have have had the pleasure to shoot, not to mention for the price point on a Canik pistol with what you get in the box compared to other brands. These pistols come generally with two magazines, a holster (not shown), optics plates, some cleaning tools, different size back straps. This model came with a threaded barrel, barrel protector, and wrench for the protector.

Some things that come in the box.

Now the picture above is not the new pistol its the pistol after I through a few mods on and thousands of rounds down range. We will have a later post about the Swampfox Sentinel, and the Disruptive defense compensator. Now being my first Canik this has been one amazing firearm, I switched from carrying my M&P almost immediately, I have put thousands of rounds down this handgun without any issue. So remember at the top I said the good and the bad about Canik, well here you go!

The Good, here are just a few things I love about Canik

Comes with everything you could need to start carrying right out of the box.

AMAZING triggers the break and reset are the crispest factory triggers I have put my finger on.

Optics cut and optic plate adapters to mount any foot print red dot.

Different back straps for different size hands.

Now the BAD part,

I have Canikitis, yes I have come down with the sickness and can’t seam to stop buying them, my current Canikitis issues consist of the TP9 Elite Combat, the TP9 Elite SC, the SFX Rival, the SFT, and a Rival-S Darkside. Stay tuned I will be doing full reviews on the Canik lines that I own from unboxing to the range and we will get into some other things like after market triggers, optics, weighted backstraps.
