My wife has started becoming more gunny.
Our last range session she started to see the light in spite of my suggestions for years to get something beefier than a single stack pocket 9.
She also actually started listening to me on how to actually shoot an RDS equipped pistol.
She did really damn well.
So she decided to sell her 43X (as some probably saw the ad on here) and get a Canik TP9SC - she's still stuck on subcompacts, but at least she's gone to a double stack subcompact - she's got a good deal of trigger time on a Glock 26 and she shoots those a lot better than most single stack guns.
That little Canik is quite ergonomic, and quite a bargain for what it is.
Gun comes with high visibility tritium front sight with a high-viz ring around the tritium, black serrated rear sight. Optic ready - and my Holosun EPS (which I wanted to sell to fund a 509 ACSS...) is now *her* Holosun EPS, and it bolted right on, as the gun comes equipped to mount a Shield RMS / Holosun 507K sight from the gate. I had to cut two nubs off the included optic plate that would be recoil lugs (I laugh, because its a polymer plate) for one of those sights. Still has front recoil lugs, and beefy screws included for mounting the optic.
Trigger is VERY good, lighter than I expected. Honestly it felt as good, maybe a tad better, than a Walther PDP trigger.
Takedown is interesting, Glockish with a twist.
Surprisingly the version she got came with two 15 round extended mags (vs 12 round flush fit) - and she picked up a third 15 rounder. To me, this leads to an uncomfortable situation where the backstrap abruptly ends 2/3 down the grip, but she loves it. Her gun, so my comfort is unimportant. So long as she likes it, that's all that matters.
She got the "Cyber Blue" version so it has an interesting black / blue swirly cerakote job. Not my thing, but she likes it.
Taking it to the range this weekend to break it in and see how it shoots. Given the ergonomics, the trigger, the optic, the balance - I have a feeling this will be quite a good shooter. I don't think she'll be ready to get rid of her Shield, but I don't think the Shield will be her go-to once she gets a couple hundred rounds down range with this one. Will have to get pix of it soon.
