Squirrel45 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hi everyone This goes along with my holster question. Long story short I'm looking for a semi reasonable priced CO option. I have a nice S2 already but it's to heavy for me to practice and compete with at this time. I plan on making it to that in the future. Currently looking to play with something lighter and a striker. I don't trust the dexterity in my fingers to realse a hammer. Plus playing with a new division keeps me busy as well also helpful theses days. Thanks for the help Squirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The Canik's seem to be priced well and at least one dude can run them well. Skip the metal frame and it's light and striker and easily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) I have the Canik TP9SFx (2 of them actually). I have had very few issues from the start. Canik has expanded the line with the Rival, Mete and now the Rival S. It all depends on what you want, but the SFx is still solid, lightweight, after-market support and, at this point, can probably be found used in the Classifieds.

Squirrel45 Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Thanks guys, that is a really good deal on that. I actually emailed a friend of mine and he's selling the exact gun. Are there plates out there to mount a rts2? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love super aggressive! but currently due to treatment my hands are not right Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN the case of the Canik TP9SFx the #3 plate is for Cmore footprint (althought it might only be the STS sight, don't know). In the case of the Rival posted above the #6 plate is specified for RTS2 mounting. All of the plates should come with the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelsonAK Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I went with a SFx and run a RTS2. The plates that came in the box did not work with the RTS2 exactly - the forward edge of the dot was forward of the plate and interfered with the slide so a no go until I milled a shallow relief into the slide. I have been told this is not an issue with the Rival and S. And... since I got the gun(s) used (and very inexpensive...) it may be that I didn't get all the plates or the instruction manual (that I wouldn't have read anyway...) so take my experience with 2 grains of salt and a healthy dose of reading the fine manual.

mcmmotorsports Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 That is my Rival pictured for sale. The Darkside model (mine) has the plate included to mount an RTS2 or Sig Romeo3XL optic. HMU if you want a sweet deal on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I would think any of the big name factory cut for optics plastic fantastics would be half a dozen of 1 , 6 of the other. Walther, SIg, XDM, M&P, CZ P10, Or even a p9,, which would work like your shadow.. just start cocked and locked and call it open.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
