CANIK FANATIK FORUM

Haven't posed here in a little bit, so I figured I'd post my latest change to the SFx. I decided to change/upgrade from the Fat Daddy to the Racer. Why you might ask...there's been a few instances where I'm running the gun faster, and the trigger just didn't move. This mainly seems to happen with sp...

:-? ...With the amount of use the gun/barrel has seen...I wouldn't be too concerned about buying a replacement barrel. That's just me. Except they aren't available for purchase are they?? I don't want a threaded barrel and that's all I have seen. Looks like you're right! :sad: I guess that's just t...

A fellow shooter at a match this past weekend had to end his day early because his freedomsmith trigger safety failed on his SFX. Turned me off of getting one. Fortunately mine failed at the range and not a match. The only fault I find with Freedomsmith is they should have reached out to everyone t...

Welcome aboard!

Good choice!!! Let us know how your first range trip goes once you get it.

After closer inspection I definitely do have the old firing pin. So I'll have to keep an eye on it

No way to really tell, until one day when the gun doesn't go "BANG"...the the "tip" of the FP probably decided to take a "leave-of-absence"!

I purchased my second 650 last year. Now I have one set up for small primers and one for large. What it really means is one set up for .45 ACP and one for 9mm. A couple of nice enhancements are linked below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Original-Dillon-XL-650-Missed-LIVE-Primer-Chute-Ski-Jump-Fix-U...

The new firing pins are easily identified as they are "shiny", where the MIM ones are black. I purchased the two pack from Canik and they only ship the new machined ones. I haven't seen a "new" SFX, so I can't say what FP they ship with. Best thing to do is remove and inspect what's in your gun. Lik...

Old age out smarting a younger guy.

"Brains over Brawn"!!!!!

Good to know. My TP9SA shoots high left. Got it pretty much centered up but it still shoots about 5" high at 25 yards. If you're shooting high you can fix that with a taller front sight. Use the Dawson Precision Sights "Sight Calculator" to determine what you need... https://dawsonprecision.com/sig...

Brought home the gold today ,shooting my Elite in the LTPS series![Lunch Time Pistol Shooting series]LoL.Myself and a couple of guys at work hold a friendly competition once or twice a week during lunch. That's awesome! Nothing like a little friendly shooting competition between friends. :lol: I th...

Welcome!

The Combat is a gun that will "WOW" you! Let us know how your first trip goes.
I recommend a good cleaning and lube before shooting it.

Excellent choice for your first Canik. The Combat is definitely a great shooting gun.

Shot an IDPA match this past Saturday morning. The day started of interesting...on my way to the match I got pulled over for having an expired inspection sticker. It was only 3 months overdue!!! :shock: It expired the end of December. Fortunately, I only got a warming. If the officer wants to stick ...

I'm getting good accuracy with this recipe. Do you ever run batches for, "friends"? No...I don't want to deal with the liability if something happened. Nothing in this world is fool-proof! Your "BEST FRIEND" could get maimed or worse, killed, and I'm sure some family member would be suing you. Unfo...

That's exactly the problem I ran into with a sight pusher. As soon as pressure was applied the slide started canting to the right. Yup...once the slide starts to twist, you'll never get the sight to move!!! This is probably the best sight pusher out there. NOT CHEAP...but WORKS! https://www.midwayu...

I recently started reloading 9mm 147g ACME Hi-Tek coated bullets with CCI and Federal primers, and 3.0g of Titegroup, with a COAL of 1.125". I ran 700 through the 650 Wed night, using them for the first time at an IDPA match yesterday with good results. I spoke with 4 guys who reload at the match an...

...Prices might be dropping to sell off the MOD 1 versions to make room for the new MOD 2.

Welcome and congrats on the SFX...nice deal!!! Most of the decent optics are going to be just north of $200. My first dot was the Burris FF3 8moa and it is a great optic which I got for $180. I tried a Venom ($200) in 3 moa, have a 6.5 moa Trijicon ($500) on my Combat (EDC) and a Deltapoint Pro ($40...

Welcome. I use Ballistol and it has been fine on the Cerakote. I'm thinking you're better off with two holsters. You can't have the light on the gun for competition. Not a lot of guys making Canik holsters with light accessories that I've seen. You're just going to have to do a google search and mak...
