now why do you want a muslim(Turkey) made Walther? Walther (German) makes them too.

I think the same designer who did the Glock also designed the Canik.

there's the TP9SA, that's a single action only, as opposed to the kind of DA/SA TP9 version. on the TP9SA it's either round in the chamber, SA, ready to fire or it's decocked and you need to rack a round in to get it loaded again. does any of that make sense? probably best to leave gun design to the Germans at Walther. or go get an S&W 9VE (most under rated gun ever on sale--- http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_39_1807/products_id/83125/S%26W+SD9VE+16%2B1+9mm+4%22 $319! for the price of a Gen 4 Glock you can buy 2. )

Turkey is a NATO ally and I can buy this high capacity 9mm firearm for half of what I'd pay for Walther. If the cops confiscate it after I ventilate some perp I wouldn't be out much. What's in a name. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. What I want to know is how it shoots. (With apologies to the Bard.)

The only time that I intend to decock the gun is when I disassemble it for cleaning. Shouldn't be a problem.

It was very accurate & 100% reliable. Felt great in the hand , recoil was minimal &sights were adequate. How's that for a Turkish rose? :-P

I have no interest in the TP9SA. I don't like guns that have a trigger dingus. Can you say Glock? Not with a straight face. Only a sheepherder would own a Glock. :)

You're welcome! Pretty sure P99 or PPQ leather holsters well work as well. Good luck &post a range report!
I'm shooting in a few weeks with my buddy that owns it & I'll take pics & post a report here...

so when ISIS comes for your head your going to plug them with a muslim gun? I'd take the gun apart for a good cleaning and disinfecting before shooting. lube it for reassembly with fresh bacon grease, maybe store the gun in a box of garlic to ward off the evil ju-ju. americans don't care where their dollars go, they just want to buy junk for cheap(look at the success of walmart and china).

now anybody who is a Kahr fan should know about the sister company, Magnum Research and their variation of the Walther P99 platform, the MR9 Eagle.

I'd love to shoot a member of ISIS with a Muslim gun. That would be poetic justice. They don't seem to have any trouble with killing Americans with American weapons. Hell yes, I want a Muslim gun. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all ISIS terrorists are Muslim. I learned that from a liberal acquaintance of mine. I'm into diversity ya know. I kill with little or no discrimination. :)

If you are interested in a Walther pattern pistol do not forget the MR9 Eagle:

With that you will get the support of a quality, US manufacturer should you ever need service. With the Canik, not likely. Century is the importer and well you all know how they handle customer service....

when them special forces seal marines come bustin thru your door in JADE HELM 15 (geez! yikes!) have only US made guns, not some POS made by them Armenian killing turk/muslims. same goes for 1911 cheap skates that bought a Tisas (muslim 1911, yuk!) from Bud's (ya know Bud's and employees(Budkok45) will sell ya anything they can turn a dime on). at least the cheap guns from Serbia and Croatia are catholic made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxuxvz3gTHs here ya go budget buyers, made in the US, yes it's really an S&W. yes, it's as close to a Glock as S&W can get without being sued again.

We all know that the only good Armenian is a dead Armenian. Besides, at this point in time what difference does it really make? The same goes for the Croatians and the Serbs. :)

Canik's Sting Ray is a CZ clone. It's all steel and only $50 dollars more than the TP9.

You guys have to remember that it's a world economy now. If we don't buy Canik pistols how will the Turks be able to buy our old F-111s and Abrams Tanks. Hey, were selling KFC to the freakin Chinese, ain't we? Learn to grow a little. :)

Ain't the Kardashians proud Armenians? No great loss I reckon, boobs are too big anyhow.

I think anyhow, need to check with Itxi on that.

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.

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.

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
05-08-2015, 06:45 AM
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. :)

muggsy
05-08-2015, 06:53 AM
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.

muggsy
05-08-2015, 03:27 PM
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. :)

So the Caniks rate pretty well. I love and carry .45ACP but have been looking at 9mm for range fun. I've seen Canik and Sarsilmaz (BP6) for good prices. Of the two is one brand better than the other? I may have seen somewhere that Sar is a Beretta clone. True?

this is still KahrTalk? when did everybody give up on the Unification Church of the United States and start following the Muslim faith, buying Turkish made guns and such? Sun Myung Moon's boy Justin, isn't going to like this. I thought everybody would be saving up Gen2 TP9 (6 inch barrel with an integrated compensator, featuring a Leupold® DeltaPoint™ red-dot sight). I mean, come on, where's the Kahr love (ah, some respect)? Ok, get your carpet and go pray to Allah, send your money to Turkey. this must be the end times for KahrTalk.
