Giving this a try to see if it helps people hang around and engage with the community a little bit more. Spicy memes and gun bunnies are great but we all know the one thing that keeps us together is our love of the firearms that guarantee our freedom.
If you have questions about guns, training, ammo, etc. etc. and don't feel like getting joke answers in a standalone post of a site dedicated to shitposting, ask it here.
For the people who would like to answer questions, please keep it somewhat serious. Lighthearted humor is fine but I'd like to keep the actual autism out of this particular post.
If this seems effective, I'll try to get one stickied every week
I'll start. I bought a Canik TP9SF Elite with the intent to resell as NiB so I don't want to shoot it. Anecdotally, I hear good things but I haven't talked with anyone who has first hand experience shooting it. What's your take on the pistol?
The canik is one the few pistols i have heard of that, despite being an import from a lesser known company is of very high quality.
Good trigger and good reliability with the features people want in striker fired gats.
I would attempt to score as many mags as i could due to availability concerns as well as see about a holster. No idea how hard that would be to find.
this one came with an adjustable retention kydex holster, which is kind of neat. usually holsters that come from the factory are pieces of shit but this one feels like it might actually last for more than two weeks.
That's kinda the impression i have gotten from the mechanics of the canik. They took time with the details to make something pretty good. Those holsters the xd came with at one time were absolutely shit and laughably so.
Good pistol, fun to shoot, comfortable to carry. Fits nicely in hands or prehensile hands, reliable, and stylish as all get out.
Post feet in return thx bb

Oh yeah that’s the good stuff
ONLY BUY, NO SELL
I have a personal bias against turkish guns (I actively try to buy 'merican guns & accesories, if that's not possible then I at least make sure my optics aren't made in China...) so I haven't owned/shot one, but I do like the Walter the Canik is based off of. Shot that fine, and I liked the grip better than a glock. I personally limit myself to pistols that I can order parts for or send back to the manufacturer for repair, since in a normal year my pistol sees a few thousand rounds down the pipe. Not sure what the Canik policy is on that?
I also have gotten the best deals on gats I want through trading up or down, instead of using cash. You never know if someone with a custom 1911 is thirsty for a cheap turkish gun and is willing to trade below market value??? Then shoot new gun, trade for what you actually want at an equivalent value, ect...
I buy and sell as a licensed dealer for a side hustle ... makes me a few dollars here and there plus I get to fondle a bunch of guns I wouldn't normally ever buy for myself. I've got plenty of personal firearms in the trade game, too. It's one of my favorite things to do.
Don't ever say this.
The guy that took 2nd in USPSA carry optics was running a TurkShit gat. And Nils Jonnansen runs one too.
