This is the second video on this gun by a major YouTube channel I've seen in the last week. (The other was by sootch00.) Everyone who tries it says it's not a bad gun at all. Especially for around $300-350. I don't know personally. I haven't seen one yet. It does have a unique trigger system. Might take some getting used to. But it's definitely a great value for what you get.

ITs made in Turkey, that is reason enough not to want to purchase it.

As opposed to being made in Germany by Turks.

It is a quality, reliable firearm/tool. Bad mouth being made in Turkey if you will, but I have a few tools from Turkey manufacturing and they make quality ‘stuff’.

Turkish military firearms have a long tradition with German quality. Turkey has license agreements with Rheinmetall and H&K to build their guns. The Rheinmetall gun is the MG3; the H&K guns are the MP5, G3A7, HK33, MSG90. I'd bet Canik has a license agreement with Walther; the Walther P99 is that close to the Canik 55 TP9.

Trigger seems to be the only difference, according to Hikock45, whom I trust completely in any evaluation.
