You're lucky.
The answer is no. I picked up a new SFX a week ago. Stove pipe city...

Mine had problems with stove pipes as well, had to go with the reduced power recoil spring set-up. Problem solved.

Did you get the reduced spring from Canik or buy on your own from another source?

I'm not making much progress with Canik customer service.

"Depending upon seasonality and the nature of your inquiry, we may need up to two business days to get back to you."

Perhaps my expectations are too high but 4 business days into this without a response is not impressive in a good way.

I've been keeping the slide locked open and plan on going back to the range.

I wouldn't mind breaking the gun in with 500 rounds of ammo as recommended in posts back in 2019 but it isn't news in 2020 & 2021 that 9mm ammo is as common as Bigfoot sightings...

I bought the reduced power spring from Century.
