Keep us posted......

Anyone tried the 20 rd. drum yet..... I actually saw one work n a Saiga once. Had a 1919, never did get the 23 rounder to function from day one......

I've owned nearly all the various mag feed shotguns through the years, none were consistent runner's, especially with the 19/23 round mags and I've tried all the different shells out there. I've read the many reviews on the RIA and bit, got one on the way from KYGunCo. i have read all the info I could find, both here and on the :net: Did someone finally get it right????, (Hope so). is the trigger going to be the biggest issue?.( I 've used the JP spring kits before and they were a low buck improvement)....... looks like Tooth&Nail and others are working on a trigger? but I can't see 4 1/2#'s as a winer?.....

HuMMMM... I just installed what was described as an AR 10 buffer tube, (1" longer overall) on a recent AR build. I'm 5'7" and I like the longer OAL...

7/1/19...RIA VR 80, Thought I'd post, KYgun had 20 in stock today, make that 19... Greg Cote has or had 9 and 19 round mags -2 of each.

We like e'm.... All of the above mods done, get the 6 moa dot whatever brand of dot you get..... I like my Vortex Venom

Good info. makes you wonder?.... "They" must have known there was a potential problem with the jig design as it was later corrected. Smells like buyer beware. Looks like "They" need a lesson in marketing??.. Very poor!!!. Hardly customer satisfaction oriented.

The Canik line and the SFX have a lot going for them. If your on a tight budget or just plain want a really great shooter? for a small expense consider them. They are very accurate, use Metalform mags (18, 20, 22 rounds with TF base pads). Carry Optics ready, and on and on...... and run like a clock. I've cut the stock recoil spring to 14#'s, use the Vortex Venom 6 moa red dot added the Freedom Arms trigger (stock is fine, FA just moves the action forward). $650/$700 total will do all this

I've known Vic for years....He called me his 1st. sponsor. Many years ago, I gave him $20 for gas when he went to one of his early "big" match's. Mike Gregus

Picture posted.... WHY, it's Nils.... Good choise Canik!!!

I wonder who he might be????....

I have the Taccom 5 1/2" w/aluminum shroud ,no comp.....Way early version w/ feed ramp. My opinion, the comp may make you feel better, that's about it. If I miss anything out to 100 yards??.... It's the "jerk" behind the trigger, not the gun. I have 2 other 9mm's... The 5 1/2 barrel points fastest (at least in my mind)...... Lighter=faster....

I forgot to mention, I use a 6.5# Glock striker spring and the "cut" Canik set up (Glock spring cups also).Those little black devils go flying , so use the Caniks or the EZ to find Glock cups and orient them as per Glock instructions..... I have a few thousand rounds on this set up, Works 100%.... Just don't get too carried away when cutting the Canik spring..IT'S got to go back into battery when fired (NO AMMO) vertically (The Glock battery test) I don't use the Sprinco system anymore. The Caniks are VERY accurate... Just shot a USPSA local match, that use a bear trap activator on a fast closing clam sell set up... i was my usual slow self and only had a small head shot left.... Had to laff at myself , got 1 A & 2 C's on the head "0" on the white guy. .... The match director asked me... How little do I have to make the head shot area to be less visible????... (Joking)..The Freedom Arms trigger is a good upgrade BUT be mindful (for me) I feel that It just moves the trigger action a bit more forward .... That said I have the Freedom trigger on both my Canik's ..150 Acme bullet x 130 PF works great. I'm playing with both N320 & Titgroup... Either work just fine. Try the heaver bullets if you reload.. Less felt recoil (Always a personal preference)...

it's simple to take apart (detailed in Canik forum.com )...... Canik uses a thread locker on the nose of the recoil rod...use vice grip pliers, to push spring down so you don't over-heat it. on flat surface or bench vise , lock pliers to guide rod, heat cap and remove it, , . Use the Glock in battery test for slide lock-up test..... I've said I think a Glock 14# recoil spring would be perfect but none available that I know of. The Glock gen 3 13# recoil setup with gen 4 adaptor sleeve would not always return to full lock up for me..... I used a bench grinder to remove 3 or 4 coils (SEE glock battery reset test)

I use a c-more on my 929... My eyesight requires a "dot". I actively shoot USPSA (all guns used have "dots") BUT not in revolver as I NEED the "dot". I'm NOT even close to being competitive with a revolver in "open" class with a revolver! Ha, shooting ICORE this Sunday in "OPEN" class..... At least ICORE is home for revolvers... I really think I would shoot revolver in USPSA IF all revolvers were in one class. WE would probably have to have a "school" for the non-revo shooter's emphasizing "DON'T STEP ON THE MOON CLIPS". Poor eyesight is a handicap for many of us, the "dot" lets me compete where I normally couldn't......Pretty soon there would be a lot more "dot" revo's....Maybe the class would survive????...

The # of coils cut may very from gun to gun BUT you must do the "Glock"reset to battery test...tIE: the pistol MUST stay in battery after the spring cut while held vertically and the trigger is pulled UNLOADED of course I feel the best recoil spring rate is near 14#'s with a captured guide rod set up BUT I've never found that combo, so I made my own. The 13# Glock set up was close but was slightly less than 100%. My load radar crnos @ 130/132 PF

Watch Canik... They are aware but nothing happens overnight..

Why ?...Mine works fine with 3/4 coils cut from the "stock" guide rod...If it's "felt recoil"?, .. go to a heavier bullet...i would'nt think that little weight reduction would be helpful???...but who knows?....

Canik SFX....I've tried a few additions simply becuse I'm a "tinkerer" and tried to make something good even better?. . (Sprinco "white" recoil reducer, stripped & polished internals, Freedom Arms trigger, TF mag extentions, 6.5 Glock striker spring, 13# Glock recoil spring assembly, (which didn't always return to battery ) . The Canik SFX with the Vortex Venom 6 moa dot even in "stock" form is hard to beat!. (I like the Freedom trigger simply for the fact that it moves the take up and release forward rather than in it's stock configuration, (which isn't hard to get used to)... The Canik's are very well made and also very accurate right out of the box. After my attempt's to improve the SFX?????, I'm back to just a few modifications:. Added skateboard tape to the frame, ditched the Springco recoil assembly, (used the "stock" recoil assembly with 3/4 coils removed), kept the Freedom trigger and 6.5 Glock striker spring , use the TF mag extentions (22 rounds). I shoot only my reloaded ammo, 145 Acme RN x 3.2 x N 320 =130 PF. (I shoot the same load in my Taccom 5' barreled PPC carbine ... ala, 2 for one load). A fellow shooter has broken 2 striker pins (Century replaced free). He does an extreme amount of "dry firing",. That's the only functional complaint I've heard about with the Canik's...After hundreds of rounds fired, my Vortex hold down screws loosened and I had to retighten them slightly...

Geezz, try a Canik.SFX %" /SF 4" pistol... Best "BANG" for the buck out there!!!!! VERY, very accurate

Just saw the vidieo on the new all steel Q5 Walther... Has a mag well, maybe removible?........ CANIK are you listening??????....

I received the new version along with the pre-paid return mailer. Doubt you will find better customer service. Hard to find a vendor who admits to a problem AND then does something about it!!!!!. Mike

Don't want to get into politics here..... But..... it seems that our friends at BATFE now say a pistol brace isn't a buttstock so a brace can be shouldered/cheeked on a AR pistol , Barrel length is/can be less than 16"...since it's not a rifle but a pistol ....I'd guess the rule maker's at USPSA are in a huddle???... Maybe yet another class?.... Pistol brace open/ pistol brace limited or maybe carry optics brace , open/limited... What say you????....1st. person that comes up with a AR pistol holster wins.. I never really understood the $200 SBR fee thing anyhow, same as a machine gun ... A 6' tall person could dang near hide a 5' ladder under a trench coat if they really tried....

WOW, TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!, Just got off the phone with Blitskrieg. Turns out, they had become aware of some failures in the 1st. design that started showing up...There were 2 areas that have been improved. Luckly, I had purchased the buffer from them and they had my purchase date (Sept., 2017). They are sending the new version and a return tag so they may better research the failure. NOT made in China!!!

My Blitskrieg buffer is now a 2 piece buffer. PPC gun shot once a month , not many rounds thru it, Taccom 5 " barrel w/ aluminum shrould. Rifle spring. 130 PF cronoed load. It appears that the treaded end has stripped threads and a oily mess in the tube. I've searched here (no find ) but I can remmember seeing the same failure posted somewhere?.... I'll be contacting Blitkrieg today... ANYONE else have any input?????
