Or are you having to travel to CT & RI? -Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moneypenny Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Welcome! Canik is making some awesome guns for the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksullivan16 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Welcome! What clubs do you shoot at? I am a MA local as well. While I don't shoot IDPA, Pioneer Sportsman puts on a match called Live Free or Die, and its quite a popular, fun match from what I have heard. It might be up your alley for IDPA stuff. Also, how do you like the Canik? I've seen a fair few number of shooters with them and I am curious about their quality. Are they similar to Glock?

BillWV Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) So far I have shot matches at Harvard, Worcester and Pioneer. May look into IPSC and USPSA as well. It's all fun!! I was looking for gun that was competition ready or close to it when I found the Canik. I have shot Glocks and Smiths but really liked the feel of the Canik. Trigger out of the box was excellent. The springs out of the box are quite sturdy and needed a bit of work. I upgraded the recoil, striker, trigger bar and striker plunger springs plus I polished some of the internals. I also added a Freedomsmith trigger which made a huge difference on an already great trigger. Edited August 31, 2021 by BillWV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 And of course, don’t forget about the falling steel plate matches in RI at the Wallum Lake R&G Club. Fall Walls is Sep 25 & 26. If you’ve never done that you definitely want to give it a try. Registration is on PractiScore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I primarily shoot USPSA, its more fast paced competition, and it will speed up your skill development. Check out practiscore for matches. Bass River in Yarmouth is also putting on a match this Sunday at 9:30am, it is not listed on PS, but they still run it. 150 rounds or so, 4 stages + 1 classifier - no membership needed.

Last month they had a Texas star stage, and a few spinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
