        FINAL VERDICT

        Gone are the days of budget pistols being sub-optimal. Coming it at $350 or less most of the time, the TP9SA punches way above its price range. This pistol derives much of its design from the Walther P99 and PPQ series of pistols. That means you get a great trigger and an inherently accurate platform. Combine those features with solid ergonomics and an 18+1 capacity, and you have a winner that won't break the bank.

        Reliability
        Some people have reported a very brief break-in period, but for the most part these guns run extremely well
        Customization
        The Canik aftermarket is growing, but isn't quite to the level of some of its peers yet
        Ergonomics
        Replaceable backstraps, decent texturing, and a higher beavertail help
