New: CANiK TTI Combat SMOKE Edition

CANiK and Taran Butler’s Taran Tactical Innovations have rolled out the TTI Combat SMOKE Edition, a fresh take on their already well-established TTI Combat pistol. This version keeps the core of what made the original a standout while adding a distinct visual edge. The SMOKE Edition sports a smoke-themed Cerakote finish, giving it a clean, recognizable look that screams TTI’s signature style. Under the hood, it’s got a ported bronze PVD-coated barrel to tame recoil and a flat-faced, aluminum 90-degree break trigger for crisp, precise pulls. The HiViz® fiber optic front sight makes picking up targets fast and intuitive. The MSRP is $949.99.
