Chutist Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Thinking about dipping a toe in the Canik waters. Tracked some of the issues with the earlier Steel frame guns. Noticed the guns disappeared for quite a while - no stock anywhere. Seeing them starting to pop up in stock now after several months. Reading that they did some small updates / fixed. Who's got one? How's it going so far? Edited April 4 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I bought one a couple of weeks ago. The recoil spring appears to be a little softer. Feels like a 16-17#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutist Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 I saw one demo where they tried to over insert the mag and have it drag on the underside of the slide and it would not. Guess that was one of the issues.... I'm probably going to get one. They seem to be popping up then selling out. Guess I gotta be fast! LOL!!!

southpaw6 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I should be able to pick up my Rival-S chrome Monday. I super stoked. I’ll let you know if there’s any issues soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohboy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I am new to Canik and I picked up a Rival-S Darkside. The sticker on the case had December XX, 2023. Would this date be considered one of the newer batches that had the issues resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobbys2011 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I bought a brand new one recently. Ran brass with zero issues. Steel ammo has constant FTE. Same ammo ran fine in the Staccato P and CS we also were running that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohboy Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Thanks for the info. I'm currently working up a load for it, and will run some factory brass casing ammo through it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutist Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) So I've got about 700 rounds and ZERO issues. No failures of any type. That shooting was an indoor range trip to sight in, 2 indoor matches and one outdoor match. That was all with Winchester White Box. Pretty hot ammo. Mags were 3 stock and two with the Henning extensions. The Hennings gave me 22 rounds reloadable with the factory spring(new) and follower. I'm going to start working down loads for lighter PF. I'll start with softer factory stuff like Blazer 124. Then some hand loads that just make PF. I bought a Rune Tactical recoil spring kit, along with striker and other springs. Ran great, so now I'll see if I can "break it". The Canik ME03 has been solid as well...surprisingly good. I can't "perceive" any difference in the dot or "quality" of the sight picture at speed from my Holosun or Sig Max. For HALF the price of the Holosun 507Comp delivered. No wonder they are sold out everywhere... Edited May 12 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx1961 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I have had one for a couple of months now and never have had any problems with it. Shoots great…. My son has a early version and it has never had any problems either and we shoot a lot of ammo… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
