I took delivery of my Canik TTI Combat in June of 2024. I proceeded to go to the range and shoot it with my standard 124 grain 9mm Sellier & Bellot (that I use on all my guns, including PPC with 0 issues). Nearly every other round would NOT fire. It was easy and quick to notice that the slide was not going back into battery. Pushing the slide with my thumb would temporarily “resolve” the issue, after another round was shot, then the cycle would start again. I immediately stopped and went out to the pro shop to purchase different weights and brands of 9mm loads just in case the gun was sensitive to a specific load or brand. Of 4 different brands and 3 different weights, NONE made a difference. All malfunctioned at the same or worse frequency. Incidentally, I do not reload my own ammunition; I only use quality rounds. All brass, all well known, well tested brands. I stopped, disassembled the gun and tried the included light spring. The problems got even worse. For the record, I am an experienced shooter, and I do not limp wrist. I invited other shooters in the range to come in and try it (just to make sure it was not me that was mishandling the gun in any way). They had either the same or worse experiences and a lot of raised eyebrows. Note that I own a Canik TP9SFX and I have not had a SINGLE issue with it. I absolutely LOVE that gun and purchased the TTI Combat based on my previous experience with Canik. At that point, I stopped (after about 200 rounds) and went home to thoroughly clean the gun as I heard rumors that the gun must be cleaned before it is shot, or that it requires xxx of rounds to “break in” the gun. A day later, after a thorough cleaning and inspecting all the parts, including purchasing two additional brand-new magazines, I went back to the range and bought new ammo in 119, 124, 148 and subsonic 160 grain. The TTI Combat malfunctioned the same way with either spring or either magazine. I went back home and sent out a message to Canik through their online service form including taking a picture of the slide when it was out of battery. Within 1 day, I received a very professional response from Canik stating that they recognize the issue and that they would be sending me through FedEx a new spring and to only use that one. I received the new spring that Canik sent within 2 days of my email/conversation. WOW. Ever since, the gun has NOT had a single malfunction. Not on ANY brand of ammo, ANY grain or ANY shooter. The problem was 100% fixed thanks to the new recoil spring assembly. In conclusion, I have to say that ANY company in ANY industry may experience problems. It is the way you HANDLE the problem, and you interface with the client base that makes all the difference. My experience with customer service at Canik was not mediocre, was not good, was not great, it was IMPECCABLE! Hence, I want to THANK the Canik service team for the manner and the matter in which they have handled this issue and resolved it satisfactorily. THANK YOU! I am a big fan and a return client.

I took mine to a course last Saturday and had 1 malfunction, a double feed. I was also shooting one handed because I had surgery on my left elbow and wrist. It was hand loaded 115 grain. The gun ran perfect with the mecanik optic. I also used the holster it came with. With the double feed, I couldn't clear it by myself. I had the flushfit mag in and I couldn't strip it from the magwell. So 1 malfunction out of 500ish rounds using 124 grain, 115 hand loads shooting with my right hand. I'll chalk that up to limp wristed it.

My first 100 rounds on mine I had nothing but a ton of failure to feeds and no less then 5 light strikes . I now have 400 rounds through it and it is feeding perfectly fine. But I am still getting a lot of light primer strikes one every other mag. Canik is sending me a new recoil spring and striker assembly.

It is an aesthetically beautiful pistol, it is a shame that it is so bad in the 124 gauge, there you are really paying for it, the box is the only functional thing. But if you don't have a use for it, send it to me since I don't have one and I accept it with great enthusiasm since in my country they are very expensive and permits are a problem.
