Rumor has it Canik is a good pistol for the price.  I have quite a few 9’s but not a Canik yet.  For the price point they seem to be a good buy.

People on THR really like the Canik line.

The last pistol I bought was about 5 years ago, a Gen4 G19.
I haven’t had a hankering for anything different other than maybe getting the slide cut for a RMR.

Last pistol I bought was the Walther CCP back in 2019.

Within the first 30 shots it suffered a critical failure and had to go back to the factory.

I've had it to the range a couple of times since and it's functioned flawlessly; I need to start looking for a good CCW holster for it.

Fits my hand better than just about any other handgun I've ever handled.

My wife tried over 15 9MM’s and ended up with the CCP to replace her 5 shot Taurus 85 .38 as her primary CCW weapon.

I was actually considering a Ruger Security 9 when I stopped by a local gun store on my lunch hour and they had a first gen CCP in the used case. I wasn't impressed with needing a tool to do the take down but I was impressed as all hell with how perfectly it fit my hand. It was as if it were custom made for me.

When I went looking into it a bit more I found that the M2 version was out with no need for a disassembly tool. Bought it that week.

Know what? I took today and tomorrow off work.

I think I'm going to hit the NRA range this afternoon with the CCP.

Lately, I have to tell y'all that my main thought is having an "endless magazine" in a somewhat compact package.

Never made it to the range. My supply of 9mm is a lot worse than I thought it was.

At least most of the stores here have it.  Prices isn't always so great.

I just got back from the one local gun store... Figured what the hell, I'll swing in, been awhile.

They had a Ruger American Compact on the shelf (only Ruger they had). 17 and 12 round magazines. Thumb safety.

Bud's price on it is $492 and change.

Gun store shelf price (and this is a NEW gun) -- $400...

I walked out the door with it for $424.

Well Happy Birthday to me!

Thank you, thank you, now I need a "Happy New Ammunition Day" to accompany it...

I'm still stunned at what a good deal I got.

Of course, being the ever helpful person that he is, Castle Key opined that I probably got such a good deal because one of the gun shop employees shot someone with it and he was looking at getting rid of the evidence but still getting some money out of it.
