Turkish gun manufacturers make superb modern combat handguns of high quality at affordable fair prices. I like all three pistols, being Canik my personal favorite but I have nothing against SAR or Tisa. People that reject or despise Turkish made pistols have no idea of how good they are because they haven't care to even try something different than Glock. Their loss!

Big Glock and cz guy here. I bought a sar bp6c 6-7 years ago when they came out (polymer cz75 clone) I think it was 279 bucks. Put a couple thousand rounds through it and sold it for more than I paid a few years laters. I bought a zigana px9 during the pandemic for 309. I actually did a 1K round review here on KZitem. There wasn’t any info on them at the time. I just saw a gen3 version the other day and plan on picking one up due to the optics cut, Glock sights and flat faced trigger. I like they kept the p226 mags on the gen3’s

I have 2 Caniks ( TP9SFX, and Rival Darkside) and I have the Sar 9x Platinum edition. I must say they are definitely exceptional pistols. I have heard about Tisas pistols also being very well made but I haven't shot with one yet. It does look as if the US markets are starting to take notice of Canik and Sar because I have seen an uptick in their prices the past year. Tisas is probably just behind due to them being newer in the market but I'm sure that they too will be appreciated for their quality here in the near future. I'm very happy with my Turkish pistols and I actually enjoy shooting with them more than my glock.

The Zigana PX-9 G2 is costing 1400 USD here in Brazil, despite all the import taxes. The CZ P10c is over 2k USD. We're seeing some Glocks Gen3 for 1500 USD but these Tisas really look interesting. And the Stöeger STR-9, which is made in Turkey too. I was expecting the brazilian-made licensed version of the slovenian Arex Delta Gen2 to be around 1200 but they're charging 1500 too. So I'm really wondering which one should I aim for...the Sarsilmaz SR9 looks interesting too. Canik sadly didn't show up here yet.

There are 2 models of the PX-9 one has the manual thumb safety and a curved trigger and the other is manual safety delete with a Canik Elite style flat faced trigger. I have handled both and have to say the one with the Canik style trigger shoe does have a better pull, break, and reset; not a SF Elite, Mete, Rival, or Combat Executive grade action but pretty darn close. Now all these 3 companies need to do is make a 10mm model and it's a wrap.

the PX9 is my nightstand gun as well. haha. I was surprised at just how good it was when I got it. I really didn't expect much at that price point but my god, they made a good firearm straight out of the box - and with how light the trigger is on mine, I'm pretty happy that it came with a manual safety. I do agree if I could change anything about the Tisas it would be that very bottom of the grip, I eventually ended up putting the small size grip panels on it to combat that a little bit - at some point if I ever run out of other projects or I get super creative and need a break from the other projects I may end up molding my own back panel for it - but again, for the price it's really hard to beat.

I'm thinking about POSSIBLY maybe getting one, it's $399.99 which I thought wasn't too bad considering the shop has a indoor range and they give a 30 day FREE RANGE TIME with a weapon purchase which is GREAT.

They ARE mostly kids or they're settlement recipients who spent their money to have shops do their work for them and it means nothing to them to throw a rod or bust a camshaft after 60 seconds of flooring the gas with their F***in car in park. Real car enthusiasts don't do that kind of S**!. Real car enthusiasts know their vehicles, they don't destroy them and they certainly don't go around intentionally trying to annoy everyone because most real car enthusiasts are doing their own work, funded by their own money and because of that they have a sense of respect for their own property and their own integrity.

Not trying to be _that_ guy who shows up in every comment section to "well actually" you BUT... Much like JMB's magazine disconnect safety in the GP-35 (Browning hi-power), the manual thumb safety was more often than not, an afterthought. Many of the designs put forth for military trials were *required* by those conducting the trials to have more than one mechanical safety. Which, in my mind, is probably why the thumb safety mechanism on some of his designs are so diminutive and sometimes seem slightly out of place. 🌈🌈🦄🦄⚔🛡🇺🇸

Excellent review video sir! I expect more people will watch this soon since the Tisas gun was featured in an NRA magazine recently. You really hit all of the points a fella should on a gun review. The only thing I can add to the convo is that I recently dry fired a SAR at a local gun shop on sale for 349$ the trigger in my opinion is lacking, but of course they need to be broken in. I do have a question for you though since you are an expert and have experience getting a milled sight relief cut. Does the loaded chamber indicator on the Canik prevent you from being able to do the milling for the RMR red dot? Thanks for your time and great video!!

Great guns, and you're telling me the one I don't have is better than the two I do have. Girsan and Stoeger want to know why they are stepchildren in your Turkish roundup? Hogue XD grips made my PX-9 a chunky soft shooter that feels great in the hand. My Tp9 sf elite has a huge slide stop, so that criticism does not apply to the whole line. Side note, my Taurus G3 takes the PX-9 mags (P226 pattern) and TP9 mags (with no Last Round Bolt Hold Open). However, my only failure with the G3 was with a TP9 mag in it.
