Canik55 TP9 Pistol
Updated: January 9th, 2013
The TP9 is a relatively new pistol from Turkish company Canik55. This year Century Arms will be importing it into the USA.
It has a distinct resemblance to the Walther P99. I am not sure if this resemblance is just superficial or if it is also a clone internally.

I like it so much that I bought another one so that's makes two! I actually like it better than my M&P 9mm and it's trigger rivals my glock. I don't expect this gun to stay in the $300 range for long. Get one while you can.
I got a steal on my TP-9! Great gun, I love everything about it. I believe mine is a direct import from Turkey, not a Century Arms made TP-9. Different insignia on the grip is one giveaway. Anyone have any insight to that?
