NRA Gun of the Week: Canik USA TP9SFx Pistol

For the entry-level shooter or veteran enthusiast, the Canik USA TP9SFx is a powerhouse of a package at a price point that is hard to beat. The Turkish-made import from Canik is based on the company’s successful TP-series handguns. This particular model is chambered for 9 mm Luger, is optics-ready and commands an MSRP of less than $550. What you get is a package that is ready for the range. The striker-fired, polymer frame pistol features a 5.2” match-grade barrel, Cerakote finish on the slide, adjustable sights, selectable magazine release button and backstrap profiles, cleaning tools, replacement fiber-optic pipes, two 20-round detachable Mec-Gar magazines, as well as a handy case that is molded for the gun, the included paddle holster and accessories. Range testing with the TP9SFx was a lot of for American Rifleman's Christopher Olsen, who hosts this week's NRA Gun of the Week video.
