  • Excellent trigger
  • Accurate
  • Great value with included accessories
  • Optics-ready
  • Wider than most micro-compacts
  • Higher bore axis
Editor’s Note:

The TP9 Elite SC was the first sub-compact version of the TP9 series from Canik. The Elite SC has the same features as the full-size models while being designed to be snag free and concealable. These features include 12 and 15-round double-stack magazines, front serrations, and day and night sight options with co-witness capability. Each Elite SC is optics-ready and accepts RMS/RMSc pattern optics, making this gun ready to go out of the box.

By The Numbers - Canik TP9 Elite SC

Accuracy
For how small this gun is, we were able to squeeze some impressive accuracy out of it, even on days when I wasn't shooting well.
Reliability
We had zero malfunctions across 500 rounds and various ammo types.
Customization
An optics cut and Picatinny rail allow for mounting of accessories. Threaded barrels and a few other select aftermarket parts are available.
Ergonomics
A more aggressive grip texture would and a lower bore axis would be nice, but controls are laid out very well and the gun feels good when you are shooting it.

The Canik TP9SFX is a true competition-ready pistol with a price tag that won’t break the bank. For under $600, you get a pistol that is absolutely packed with features. From its crisp trigger, its extended controls, to its ability to mount most standard micro red dots, the TP9SFX is more than willing to stand up against its higher-priced competitors. You aren’t likely to find a more accurate and easy shooting gun for the price, and if you are looking to dip your toes into competitive shooting or just want a great shooting range gun or home defense pistol, the TP9SFX might be the ticket.

Canik METE SFx

“The METE SFX series by Canik introduces another striker-fired, polymer 9mm pistol into an already crowded market. But priced just over $500 and with a bunch of extras, I think the METE SFX is a clear winner. The gun performed well at the range, shot accurately, and feels great.” – Johnny B

Glock 26

Glock 26

$448.99

“The Glock 26 is affectionately known as the “baby Glock.” This 6.41-inch long sub-compact handgun is the smallest of Glock’s 9mm models.  And while it’s a great concealed carry gun, the G26’s small size makes the handgun difficult to handle for people with large hands. The G26 didn’t get the nickname “baby Glock” for no reason – it’s tiny.

When Glock released the G26 Gen 4, they added two great features — adjustable backstraps and a magazine-release button that’s easier to access. While these modifications helped make the handgun easier to handle, the gun’s small size may take some getting used to.

Like with other Glock products, the “baby Glock” is designed to be just as durable and accurate as its predecessors. It comes with a 10-round magazine, so you don’t get as much firepower as you would with bigger 9mm Glocks. Don’t let the size fool you though, the G26 is just as strong as full-sized 9mms.

The G26 is designed for one primary purpose: concealed carry. If you’re looking for a gun that’s guaranteed to be comfortable and easy to lug around, you won’t find a better match. Its small size makes the G26 the best gun for shooters who need compactness over versatility.” – Brandon Harville

Canik TP9 Elite SC Upgrades & Accessories

final verdict

“Yes, the Canik TP9 Elite SC is a wide-boy, and you do sacrifice some concealability. However, you get a gun that is, in my opinion, a better shooter than its slimmer Mete MC9 brethren. If you shop around, you may be able to find it for less than the MC9 as well. Not everyone has $500 to spend on a P365, Glock 26, or other more popular options. Sometimes that $50-100 difference can make or break a purchase. Canik knows this, and with the TP9 Elite SC, they have ensured you get every last dollar’s worth out of this excellent concealed carry piece.” – Wyatt Sloan
