About the Gun

The Canik TP9v2 and TP40v2 pistols are dimensionally the same as the original TP9 pistol with several improvements. The grip has been textured, the front strap straightened, the palm-swell has been extended and the trigger guard is been squared. These changes give the gun much better accessibility for a gloved hand. The accessory rail is now mil-spec and the sights have a smoother Novak style profile. The slide has a Cerakote finish. While the version 2 still has a striker status indicator at the rear of the slide, the loaded-chamber indicator on the top of the slide has been dropped.

Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent performance at various ranges, making it suitable for both casual and competitive use. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, which aids in precision shooting, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable even for less experienced users. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly for thorough cleaning. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, potentially frustrating owners. Overall, it’s a solid choice, though availability and upkeep considerations warrant attention before purchase.
