DB_Cooper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I have $1,000 to spend and currently shoot a Canik TP9sfx with a Leupold DPP. I'm looking to upgrade the gun only and all input is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Send me the money for safe keeping and shoot the canik . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looking4reloadingdeals Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I personally love my shadow 2, but that’s probably not in your price range unless you save for a bit longer or find a decent deal on a used oneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvDog Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 What’s wrong with the Canik... it’s a great gun at a fantastic price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustychev Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 1K in ammo and range time will put your further ahead then any new gun if you want to get better. If you just want a new gun Id save a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertTortoise Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 With that budget, I would buy an X5 legion and bolt the deltapoint pro on it. You'd have some cash left for magazines and maybe a grey guns trigger down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can install the DPP on it and you’re good to go. Unless you want to spend more, then buy and install the Gray Guns competition hybrid trigger.

Boomstick303 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Shoot what you have and ask others to shoot their guns of the ones you are interested in. People are pretty generous in letting others shoot their guns. Or if you have a local range that rents, try the ones you are thinking about. If you decide a gun that is out of your current budget is the one for you you can shoot what you have until you can afford exactly what you want. When I start spending over $800 bucks for a gun I want to make sure it’s exactly what I want. Buy once cry once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redpillregret Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 X5 Legion. Then sell the Canik and get a gray guns trigger, springer mag release, go gun takedown lever, and Tungsten guide rod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to upgrade the gun only and all input is greatly appreciated! I'd recommend really giving the canik some more time. Don't know you or your skill level but ammo and practice is really the only thing that's gonna make you better. I do understand just liking one gun better then the others but the gun is a very small part of the game. Give it a few more months of solid practice and see where you are. Don't let people fool you into thinking the heavier gun is gonna do anything for your shooting. It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. i generally agree with this, but different guns do feel a little different. I personally find (as a 1911 and 2011 shooter) that the sig feels very natural, and it's cheap and easy to get a really nice trigger. I'm not familiar with how the canik feels, but I have an xdm that is pretty nice..... just not quite as natural-feeling for me as the sig, probably because I only shot it for a few months in the offseason before going back to a 2011. bottom line is that effective practice is going to do much more for you than buying a new gun. People actually win matches with glocks, for example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just hands down a better shooter. For now that is....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would stick with the Canik especially if the shooter is relatively new. I also agree heavier guns don’t make you a better shooter but they do help in other aspects of the game. One thing I found a lot different is shooting strong hand or non dominant hand only. The heavier gun steadies the dot a bit more for me than a lighter gun. A heavier gun can also have draw backs like transition speed and transitioning past targets due to the inertia of the gun. With everything in life when you gain something you tend to give up something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB_Cooper Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 What about a Tanfo Stock 2 OR?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 try a freedomsmith racer trigger in that canik before you give it up, makes a big diff. and yeah what boomstick said, ask everyone at your next match if you can fondle if not shoot their guns after the match. best way to see what would work best for you.

I'm just saying that the weight alone isn't going to make anyone a better shooter. A lot of shooters think the weight is something that makes their score better. Most go thru this thought process at some point. It sounds like the OP is thinking he needs a heavier gun. I'm taking some liberties here with that assumption but he's also asked about a tanfo, another heavy gun. In my opinion/experience, a person can get used to almost anything. Assuming there's not any physical issues like the gun being too small for someone's large hands, the feeling of awkward can become very normal feeling with trigger time. If you shoot gun x for a year and you pick up gun y, it's probably gonna feel weird. You might just think the gun you've been shooting just feels better. Put in the time and and a different gun can become very comfortable and feel better. If someone wants to buy another gun because they're just not bonding with their current gun, I definitely can relate. Been there. If the OP could add some info. What is it he's looking for? Is there anything specific he'd like to see on the new gun that the TP9SFX is missing? That could help. I've shot them all. I'm currently shooting the Canik so I might be able to make some suggestions for that gun. Edited June 17, 2020 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a Freedomsmith trigger in my last Canik, definitely a huge improvement over the stock trigger. Great guns for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah. It's over sprung. Just about every gun is though. You can get a ruduced power RSA from century arms. Or you can buy aftermarket setups. I'm using a ZRS tactical guide rod. It's for the Walther Q5SF. I'm using a wilson flat wire 15# 1911 spring. A stock Glock (5.5#) striker spring and a Glock reduced power striker block spring. I've added the freedoomsmith pro trigger and I've added a #2 split ring on the back of the stock trigger return spring. This gives the best trigger pull of any production gun out there. It's as good as a CZ SA pull but it's SA all the time. Saying that, the stock trigger is very good. I'd recommend just trying the lighter RSA. Call up century arms and tell them your issue. The RSA is around $20. They do send you a reduced and a standard one which is dumb but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
