what scope is that?

What lift kit is it? Also, what grip is that? Looks good!

How do I minimize the amount of force it takes to lift the bolt and run it?

*STOEGER of course* Both pistols are produced in my country, Turkiye. I tested both too. In terms of material quality, I think Stoeger STR9 is clearly ahead. Stoeger STR9 is ahead in terms of shooting pleasure. Only Canik's appearance is more beautiful. Stoeger STR9 has a safe-action structure, in this sense it is safer.

Glock and 1911 will beat out all, in my opinion, because they have all the after-market parts and you can find the mags everywhere. This is especially important when you live in a communist state.

Great review!! Thanks!

In regards to the trigger only, is the sfx pro price for the flat face trigger worth it or is the sfx just as good?

Thank you glock for the striker fire reliability but your patent ran out. Now it means nothing any more. Through the years, only 'slight' variations but CANiK made a much safer Double Action striker that you never made. All Hail CANiK!

How can you take points away from canik for the first trigger pull of double action by comparing it to the second trigger pull at single action when glock has no double action? The Canik DA can do every thing the glock can for more value but the glock can not do everything the Canik can but cost more money. RIP glock

I have an STR-9 (regular model), a Canik Mete SFT, and an M&P Competitor. Still waiting on my Rival S to arrive (6 months and counting). No question the Canik trigger dominates. The Competitor feels great, and muzzle flip is less than the SFT. Probably because the Competitor slide has aggressive slide lightening cuts, and the Mete needs them. The Competitor trigger is heavier than the Canik and has a lot of take-up. But I'm learning to like it because I can ride that trigger w/o fear of an AD. As for the Stoeger...I bought a G19 trigger weight reducing spring kit. It included multiple springs, but I installed only the striker spring from the Glock kit into the slide of my STR9. I'm not trying to make the STR9 a competition gun. The reduced power striker spring made a very noticeable difference. I now have a much better Stoeger trigger. Canik triggers still rule, but that's to be expected. You should try the G19 springs on your 9S Combat and let us know if it works.

Great info. Thanks!

I have watched this video many times .... thank you so much .... very helpful

Crazy!! I have the TP9sfx (tungsten). A beast!! I was on the H&K parts sites last night. They “had” a compensator for the Tp9sfx rival. The price was so inseans as a “Blem” . Guess I’ll be purchasing a Rival to go with the comp I bought. lol! A deal I wasn’t passing up!

The Stoeger is half the price. Of course, the Canik is better some.

First video I've seen someone else use index finger on trigger guard, I thought I was all alone! haha

Own one for 3 months. Hundreds of rounds, 1 pipe.

Both are nice !

Do you carry it now sir. 1 yr later?

I have the Ruger American in .22LR and lubed the bolt with some light synthetic grease and the bolt works fine and accuracy is very good. I switched out the sights to Williams Globe and am very satisfied . I have the Tikka TX3 in .223 with 24” bull barrel. Of course it is a much more expensive rifle and is a nail driver.

This vid sealed the deal. Just bought one with 2 mags for $199 and free shipping from Buds Guns👍 Can't wait!

fat white guy with a politically charged t-shirt no way

I bought one of these several years ago when they came out and I didn't like it. The stupid plastic inserts in the serrations broke off after one class, the ambi slide release had way too much flex to be usable, the pistol shot way low compared to all of my other pistols and I just thought it felt very cheap in the hand. There is a perceptible difference in quality between the vp9 and the p30 or USP. I got rid of it after a year of trying to get along with it. Maybe my example was a bad one but it was one of my least favorite pistols I've bought in the last decade

Picked up a 9F for $219 at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Great deal

I use the 6,5cred on reinder fall weight 135kg

Outstanding Video to say First. I just discovered your channel, am a pistol & rifle owner, as well as a shooter at my local range. Have been looking at all the Caniks you just reviewed because I am looking at purchasing one soon, but only at a good price. I want to Thank You Guys so much for explaining everything to me in a clear and precise manner. I have been looking primarily at the SFT and SFX, but recently been looking at the whooping expensive (for me anyway) TTI Combat. I think I have made my decision now, and this video made my mind up.

I have this in .40 S&W and recently installed a Magpul Backpacker stock on it. I much prefer the Backpacker stock.

Interesting comparison. Would you say the Tikka T3x Compact Tactical is a compromise between the TAC A1 and the Lite?

What muzzle brake and pistol grip is that? Nice set up!

Thank you for that review, I've been looking at Savage for a long time now, as a long range shooter, maybe out to 1000 yards.

This pistol is so much better than Glock that it shouldn't even be compared to one of those ghetto guns.

I AM OLD SCHOOL I LIKE 2.7pound!

I have a Tikka CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor and the accuracy is similar to the TAC A1. I think the major difference between the two is the stock. The TAC A-1 has a chassis and the CTR has plastic stock. That said, you can get a 24" Stainless CTR for ~$1,150, so it might be worth it to buy a CTR and upgrade to a chassis of your choosing instead of getting the TAC A1. The ~$1,000 price difference could buy you a really high end chassis. P.S. When you say the 300 yard targets are 0.5 inch MOA and 0.75 inch MOA, are the groups 0.5 in and 0.75 or 0.5 MOA and 0.75 MOA? 1 MOA is ~1 inch at 100 yards but ~3 inches at 300 yards.

This is a two thousand dollar rifel I would hope it would be very accurate I would rather have the 308 Howa 1500 Looks nicer and way cheaper $1350.00

It's a simple process. From the 1st to the most recent Canik. They are all too thick, too heavy and too bulky. A good good trigger is not enough!

You should be a breakdown instructor. I've seen plenty of people tear guns apart but what a beautiful tear down

Just a FANTASTIC firearm. Very under rated pistol. Outstanding platform.

Nice review! Is that a Masonic ring good sir?

It scares me every time I see someone play with a gun they didn't spend 2 minutes to explore. Like this fella. 2 minutes tops he would know you don't pull the trigger on a vp9 to take apart or put back together.

Picked up the pink version for my wife along with their gen3 fast action trigger kit. Not a single complaint or issue whatsoever

Hi guys, STOEGER Has a new STR45. Please review it. TY

Hands down best tutorial I’ve see

Nicely done

My favorite gun in my collection is the rival(oem) and I own sigs, Glocks, berettas, Springfield, etc. 🤙🏽

A Bolt lift? Please explain in laymans terms.

With a much as it jammed in this video, I wouldn’t spend my money that❗️ Especially at its 2k+ price point. For that amount of money it has to be more reliable. Thank for the review, great video.

Seen this going for mid 600

Are these mags easy to find?

i paid 810$ for my tti at academy

I was going through handguns just buying and selling to make a few bucks. This was the first gun that out of the case made me think, this is a well made gun. I wasn't a fan of striker fired pistols and didn't like that there was no safety. From a mechanical standpoint, the factory trigger was light years ahead of Glock g17 and g19. The tactical gave slide plates for different optics and the adjustable grip was perfect. Never had a malfunction and it was a decent size and weight. It felt good in your hand and I always tell people how good it was.
