bigtimelarry Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm changing the Sights on my Canik TP9SFX. First, do they go off and on a certain way, i know my Glocks left to right taking them off and visa versa installing. Also the Warren rear sight is kinda stuck, i gave some good whacks but stopped for now. I haven't messed with the front one yet. Do I need to heat the front and rear before removing ? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdawgbeav Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 i broke a sight pusher trying to get the rear sight out. I ended up buying a new blank plate from Canik. This allowed me to put in the rear sight of my choosing (Dawson adjustable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yeah. "universal" really isn't universal. Very good way to actually ruin sights(the ones being installed). I've got the same one that was linked. It's ok but can ruin sights by being just a little off on the angle of force and still forcing the sight in the dovetail. If that happens, the softer part (sight) can be bent/mared. Just go slow and try to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a P320 steel guide rod arriving tomorrow. I will report back. Edited November 28, 2020 by FF112173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a lot of muzzle flip when firing- 135 power factor with 124 grain bullets. Need something to help! I use tungsten guide rods from W74. They are made for the Canik and work great. If I remember correctly they add 2 ounces over the factory guide rod. I have them in both of my Canik TP9sSFx. https://www.w74guiderods.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 14 pound Wolff recoil spring. I tried 12,13 and 15 pound springs. 14 felt the best to me with my load. I know some guys use and like the lighter springs without issues. As far as the recoil spring for your load. That’s something you will need to workout. If I was starting out with your load today. I would do the same I did before and get 12,13,14 and 15 pound springs and see which one I like and is 100% reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sprinco makes a guide rod assembly. I tried it and it was hands down better then factory set up. But I prefer the W74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I tried the sprinco guide rod assembly in my canik- it was only a little better in reducing the muzzle flip from recoil. Waiting to try the tungsten guide rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The tungsten guide rod is the second best upgrade in my Canik's. First is the Freedom Smith triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If that is the case I will try the W74 tungsten guide rod with a 14# wolf commander length recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 have ordered both and waiting for them to arrive and test them- will post the results after I test the parts in the Canik TP9FSx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 shot the 9mm Canik TP9SFx today- 124 grain bullet PF about 135- the installed parts (tungsten guide rod and wolff 14# commander length recoil spring) helped the muzzle rise vs the factory parts. Would recommend them if you are going to use this pistol for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
