Infield, to-the-point update to these reviews: https://youtu.be/jGeubLoqyDw and https://youtu.be/D6Qw-oAQBac. I still prefer the METE version but this Rival version of the Canik TP9 "RIVAL" has a lot to offer: Striker Status Indicator, Lightened 90° Diamond Cut Aluminum Flat Trigger (shortened preset and reset distance), Easy disassembly, flared mag well frame + add on aluminum mag funnel, multiple optics bases, lightened slide and more. Wyatt from Gunnies brought this one out as we tested some other platforms. I thought it would be good to do an update to the previous reviews.

Gunnies Store in Orem loaned this gun for TNP review. Drop in and buy something, tell them you appreciate the support! Wyatt is the boss there. Gunnies Sporting Goods Store, Address: 396 State St, Orem, UT 84058 Hours: 10AM–8PM, Ph 801-226-7080

I own the rival and the rival steel frame and my God I didn't think it could get better but the trigger in the steel frame is smoother and rivals a shadow 2.

Robert Avery

Excellent. Will watch tonight after dinner. Unfortunately USCCA is not available in NY.

Dylan Campbell

I looked at the Mete and the Rival wasn’t crazy about the sharp teeth looking cut outs on the front of the slide of the Rival that and the FDE on the Mete made me go with the Mete long slide. LOVE THE CANIKS !

Jayson Fraser

I’ve been a member of the USCCA for years (since before I had ever seen a Nutnfancy video). I’d certainly recommend it too. It brings peace of mind knowing that I won’t be alone if I end up in a legal battle that I didn’t ask for.

Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest

I own 3 Caniks, and I'm in the market for a FDE METE. I'm sorry but once you turned me onto CANIK I have yet to find a STRIKER FIRED pistol that is as good for the money. I own the TP9SF TP9SF Elite and the Canik S120

Indeed. I keep my membership current. I've been remiss posting the links but I'll add them more frequently now.

Each to his own of course, but the likelihood of needing concealed carry insurance is so exceedingly low (the risk approaches zero), that self-insuring or getting a $1M umbrella rider on your homeowners policy for ~$20 per month (that covers all liability, not just CCW liability) may be the way to go. CCW insurance is the paracord bracelet of the gun world - it makes us feel good, but its actual utility is questionable. JMO, my good sirs and lassies.

Anthony Schaad

I’ve been slacking watching vids for a few weeks… my bad Nutn! But I am really digging the caniks, I do like the rival but I think when I finally snag one I might go with the METE… super value no matter which one I get but dang I haven’t heard anything bad about them … solid guns! Might b a few more months cause I’ve been luvn the hell out of my Sig m18 since Christmas lol but I’ll b picking one up soon !! Thanks Nutn for the content as always!!!

Matthew Hargis

Thanks Nutn! Let’s just say I’m a Canik Fanatik and have several. When the Rival Darkside came out it immediately went on the want list. I want to thank you for introducing me to Canik back in 2014 when you dropped your review on the original TP9. They are awesome! God Bless…Sharkey, Lt Col, USAF.

DuginIN

I like the METE. Yes another gun I want but don’t need. Saw it online in February for $525.00. I’ve resisted so far but here you are reminding me.

Jerome J

Another great looking pistol.

SirAleric

I am impressed with your accuracy in the beginning of the video. I guess that's what practice will do!

Hold Fast Joe

Great job using that thing! Wonderful groups! Was the Mette also a 3lb trigger?

Joseph

They are OK, they will stand up and do the job. I still prefer a Glock, they are worth it in imo. Glock is still king of striker fired guns even a stock one against any other striker gun thrown at it

The Nutnfancy Project

You are welcome, glad you back watching the flow Anthony. As you see I move pretty fast here in the Patreon clubhouse

The Nutnfancy Project

You bet! Yes I've been preaching the TP9 Gospel for awhile now. I will give it a rest for awhile now with this video. Lots of other great guns have completed testing, reviews forthcoming. One is the Arex Delta M, great gun. I

Casey Jones

I need to get a Canik. Instead of having money for a Canik I had to buy a 2nd TCR-22 last week since S&W halted all T/C production last year. There was only 1 online store that had any left in stock. If you didn’t get a TCR you really missed out, I got it by Nutn’s Rec and man it was a home run. So sad the TCR is out of production. I just got over my PPQ being out of production, 2022 has been a somber year. Maybe in a couple years someone will buy T/C and production will start again.

The Nutnfancy Project

Thanks and yes the trigger's are the same. Lots of similarity between the two. I like the looks of the METE a bit better

You should review the EAA/Girsan 1911 MC

DirtyPhil

Love the caniks- had a tp9sf, sfT, bought my dad an SFL- I now own an sc elite as carry pistol and mete as competition pistol for 2 and 3 gun. The sc elite is a little wide but still easy to carry and optic ready- I have a sig Romeo zero on mine- just need to alter my sub2k to take canik mags and I’m all set- :)

Richard Leonard

Did the Rival spec sheet show a 40 S&W model?

Bernal

I haven’t shot my SFX enough yet. Mine came with a Vortex and two (20) round mags but no mini pistol. The holster has worked well. I’ve used mainly ProMag (18) mags, can’t find additional Canik (20) mags to buy anywhere. No jams yet, -200 rounds. It could be the best looking gun I own, definitely beats my GL34 gen 5 in 2nd cool.

Hold Fast Joe

Nice, my neighbor has a canik though not sure which it just has that signature button on the back you can tell immediately it's a canik. He might be interested in it. I'll let him know. I'm saving my pennies! Jobs are just too rocky these days. Though I should buy another case of 9mm. Ammo prices have been returning to earth again if I'm not being picky and use ammoseek.

Andrew H

Love the GRVs. Highly entertaining. Longer the better. Thanks Nutn!

ktnjr .

I blame Nutn for the price increase on the Canik line of pistol! I have 2 Canik SFX and will be buying the Rival soon.

Bluegill097

TP9SFX…. Original I guess? Who knows, but it’s a great fun-gun that looks sweet

Rob Miller

Short and sweet. Nice vid drop!

Eric Williams

Tp9SC elite. In size its between a G19 and G43. Comes exactly how I like it, with serrations, enlarged controls ect. The trigger is awesome and you can get it with the Sheild rms mounted

Chris carr

Only question is when is canik going to branch out to other calibers, like 10mm

AcumenGT

I own and carry the Elite SC, it's what I consider the larger of my two carry guns and I'm absolutely in love with it. I've been looking for a big semiauto and the METE or Rival are really hard to argue with, my only thing is I also want it to be an all metal fullsize. If I had the money I'd get the long slide Canik now and keep thinking on what metal fame fullsize to get.

Matt

I've had an old school Canik tp9v2 for years. Carry and compete with it (IDPA) to this day (LoL) with thousands of rounds through it. Only problem with it...Fireing pin broke around 3k rds. Century sent a new one no questions asked and have had no other problems. No jams, stoppages, feed failures, nothing at all. Blows away my G19 in terms of performance. Very interested in the TP9 Elite SC.

Good to see Wyatt out. Thanks Gunnies! Rival is cool, but I’d go Mete too.

Daniel Herb

Always love a good Canik. Ill probably get the METE over this one tho.
