Turn Your TP9 SA into TP9 SF with the "Decock Block"
Arson Machine, a small but growing accessory company has released their TP9SA “De-cock Block” which works to completely disengage the de-cocking mechanism found on the top of Canik TP9SA handguns. While the handgun was generally praised for its trigger and value pricing, the de-cocker kept many buyers from picking up the platform due to the belief that they could inadvertently de-cock the handgun during general manipulation.
On a double-action / single-action handgun this “feature” would not be a deal-braker (nay, many would find it a positive feature), it is detrimental to function on the single-action striker-fired TP9SA. Simply put, once de-cocked, the handgun would need the slide racked to bring it back into action again.
Canick recognized this and released the TP9SF (which I just reviewed), but what about all the TP9SA handguns already in the wild?
See the video from GY6 on the full handgun:
To keep the handgun’s unusual de-cocking system from de-cocking the de-cockable handgun, Arson Machine has produced two small inserts that basically keep the de-cocker system from depressing to de-cock the de-cockable handgun.
(Yes, I just had too much fun writing that).
The kit is available directly from Arson Machine at reasonable $15. The two inserts are black-oxide finished 304 stainless meaning they will not rust.

lol @ fixing yet another problem that doesn't exist. But hey, merica! right? Capitalism right? I guess the two little pieces of a paper clip inside the spring coils aren't really a solution despite not being able to press the decocker with them installed. BTW, the TP9SA is better and different than the TP9SF. They just had to screw with it instead of just getting rid of the decocker. They got rid of the lines on top of the slide (anti-glare), they changed the shape of the slide so your custom kydex holster used for the SA now rubs the SF wrong (i make holsters and had to make a new one for my SF), the trigger is goofy and when it breaks, it's angled down to far. However, I will concede that the SF sights are taller and allow for a 6'oclock hold instead of center hold...and the front sight now drifts out making room for replacement sights. Either way, love both my TP9s...and for the record...they have BOTH proven to be more reliable than my once carried glock 19 and my Glock 20 which both have failed in their first 500 rounds and continue to feed reliably now and then...>TP9s, albeit with only about 600-700 rds each have not once failed with anything and have a more consistent ejection pattern than my glocks. Stop saying they're 'the best for the money' when they're actually better than the chevrolet of handguns - glocks. There, i said it. Have at me glock fanbois.
