Left handed shooter here. Ambi slide releases I’ve found are a hit and miss affair. The left side always works perfectly, but for some manufacturers, you can tell the right side is an afterthought. Glock for instance, only the extended slide stop for the G34 works properly. The others, you can almost never get the leverage to release the slide using the lever on the right side. Haven’t used a Canik, so I can’t speculate as to how well their ambi slide releases work.

How do I buy this thing or what stores has it?

Hello @GBGuns, how would you compare racking this Canik Rival-S compared to the Mete SFX and to the Canik TP9 SA? Does it take about the same amount of strength, more or less to rack?

I think it was a given. SIG came out with one. Then S&W and now Canik. Gonna be the year of metal framed pistols.

@@Diabolus_Musica btw that was a suggestion, not an order or anything related with the obeying, i think you coudn't figured out that with your extra ordinary english skill set. You guys also very limited to understand things in your own native language, so this was not a suprise as always.

Well they don't always listen. I've begged and pleaded with canik to re-release their cz 75 clones like the shark or stingray back into the states. Yes I know about the Tristar line, I have 2 of them but they aren't quite the same.

Steel Frame Strikers NEED to be a trend in 2023. I think Anderson does a SF 19 Gen 3 clone right? Would be neat to see more variations on the SF striker pistol.

@@McOuroborosBurger I know matrix arms has a g19 metal frame

It’s the same parts on the plastic. Only change is it’s just match weight metal

Really??? You've missed out. A couple years ago you could get a TP9SF for $280-300 and it's a dead-accurate, sweet blaster, with a $900 trigger.

I own 5 canik models I love them all some break in a little harder but after that they are awesome they come with some of the best if not the best factory triggers on the market.

We've reviewed a lot of Turkish pistols and been impressed by most of them. As tk the Savage, it's up to our Patrons if we're going to review one.

9mm has the majority and thats where the $$ is

Most popular pistol caliber in the world for military, law enforcement, and civilians.

The struggle is very real for a south paw, especially a woman, usually have to drop an empty mag and two hands to release the slide.

Got the SC and couldn't agree more. Got the Hellcat Pro for the summer

May be time for you to pull the D-ring…

I assume you’re Canadian? Please do everything you can to deport Trudeau and all his ilk.

@@granthenderson696 Ya It’s ridiculous

@@stovepipe8966 … now he’s trying to ban hunting rifles in Canada? 🙄

Thank you and welcome to the channel. I hope you enjoy our range videos too. We've reviewed hundreds of guns with roughly the same format so that when people want to compare they can.

The NATO-load thing was fixed by Canik years ago. Watch any of our range videos and you'll see a wide range of ammunition run through the gun.

Thank you. I Like to think of this channel as one that will never be big. We seek the smaller audience of people who want to make educated decisions.

@@GBGuns, do you know where I can buy one of these now? I can't find any for sale. Not even Gunbroker. TY

I believe they are set to start shipping next month. As we find them we'll post in the article

@@GBGuns, another awesome plus to your channel is you respond to questions that are worth a answer. I want you to know that I personally appreciate that. Happy New year to you and your family! Health and prosperity in 2023. 🙏

Haha, yeah user experience may vary. That's part of why we have Ms Teya on the channel with normal hands.

That's the goal!

More like the Walther Q5 SF

@@GBGuns , I was just referring to the finish; but you are correct in your assessment.

Thank you, that's the goal: no bs, no hype, just the stuff people need to know.

We have one possible day to shoot this before we head to SHOT. We're hoping to pull it off.

"Click click click click click click...."

Especially because it adds weight out front.

I wouldntrecommend either for EDC, but I suppose you could

@@GBGuns Yeah he's a skinnier dude who wears loose clothing already so I don't really think a pistol of this size would be TOO big of an issue. However, I initially recommended him some stuff between the size of SAR B6C and K100 maybe even Hi Power but he came to like everything about the Q5 Match SF save the price lol. He's been looking into getting a firearm of his own for a little while because of the rising crime rates, living alone, and being a delivery driver in his own car at the time. We've been to the range a few times and he has become proficient with pistols and is actually a decent shot now too. Any recommendations for a good Mid-Full size 9mm pistol for a 150lb 5'10" dude who wears jeans and a hoodie year round? The split would likely be 40/40/20 for home, car, and on person carry.

@@McOuroborosBurger EAA Witness in Steel is a CZ75 like the B6, but... steel. Runs around $550 by stores listed on WikiArms.

@@robkam643400 Yeah I have a whole Excel list of recommendations for him to look at and there were a couple like that. Particularly the SAR 2000, P8L, Jericho 941 and a couple others which are more widely available/in stock than the EAA Witness 9mm stuff.

I'm admittedly partial to Grand Powers, so I'd say a P1 or P11 if you can find a decocker model.

You know what I mean! "click click click click click....."

Thank you and welcome. I ise the acale mostly for articles, KZfaq isn't my priority. Metric values can be concerted if folks want them.

Yeah, little "forget me nots" from the vid.

The TP9 series started out as a P99 clone, then evolved, somewhat following the PPQ, with the METE line they set their construction apart enough that I see it more like an alternate-universe Walther.

Would not fit happily on ours.

I do that for the folks to get upset the other way around, and for KZfaq compliance folks since I have to have EVERY video manually reviewed.

canik mc9 is coming out in march look it up. very small edc but will all the canik benefits

Soft wall

i got the tp9-sfx ... but also getting this one

So why do you have a SAS 2 Air?

@@GBGuns I bought it before spending any time shooting it. Essentially an Impulse purchase. It became available second hand and I jumped on it since they are impossible to find at shops. I asked Bul if I could buy the aluminum grip module that is available on a few of their higher end guns and they refused to sell it to me. They said “it wouldn’t fit without gunsmith modification and would void my warranty”, and I told them that is fine. They still refused and offered me the brass mag well to add weight. I bought it and it’s an improvement but I still want more weight. I briefly considered buying a Cheeley grip but I’ve ultimately decided just to sell it. I will use the proceeds for a DWX or a Czechmate. It’s a great gun. It’s milled for a 507c and I shoot it quite well, but I prefer the balance and feel of my Shadow 2 with a steel frame and aluminum grip panels.

Don't forget the classic youtuber trick of mounting a giant light! We'll compare them when we hit the range

@@GBGuns I thought it was funny that on sootch00 channel the Rival-S was compared to the Mete because he had given his Rival to a friend to use. Given that you said you had seen the Rival-S a few months ago I would have thought sootch00 had plenty of time to get his Rival back from his friend in time to do a comparison between the Rival and Rival-S which is the comparison that all want to see. I think there may be more to the story as to why he could not use his Rival to compare to the Rival-S.

I can't speak to what Sootch did or why. We were among the first to see this gun as part of our publisher's (magazines) annual event. I didn't have one to review until the day this was filmed.

Requests are up to our Patrons
