Hello, newbie here. I've been following Caniks awhile. I needed a 9mm range gun. I've got carry guns, house guns, plinkers & a .22 rifle but I don't have a 9mm range gun. Looked for weeks & Caniks are sold out everywhere. At least the TP9SF One Series. Yesterday I found one 43 miles away, paid for it, printed the receipt & off I went. I can't shoot it for a few weeks because my eyes are healing from cataract surgery & they tore my left eye inserting the lens so may be another month before I can see well enough to shoot. Right eye is 20/20. Anyway I put the other grip insert on & love the feel. Take up had some creep but I smoothed most of that out dry firing with a snap cap. Actually just pulling to the wall & releasing a few hundred times. Much smoother now on take up. Break has no creep or sponginess. VERY happy with the break & short reset. Sights are nice but I may black out the white dot on front. I'm left-handed so I'm about 2 hours into the project of swapping the magazine release. Actually I'm about to take it to a gunsmith because I don't see how I'm going to get that clip in the holes. It's been on the floor 20-30 times so far. Looks so easy. It's not. "If it ain't broke don't fix it." Still learning that one.

A bent needlenose pliers is worth the few bucks just for that spring. Takes only a minute with one.
