CANIK Pistol Comparison // RealWorld Tactical

what's going on youtube tony seminod here aka real world tactical and we're back here at the range down in south florida just want to say that uh i haven't been doing a lot of videos lately and i apologize for that been uh working on some other projects but hopefully i can get some back some videos back up for you guys i know you guys been asking me for it so today i want to talk about canik uh you guys know that i've been shooting kanek probably about three or four years now i'm a huge um i love the kind of gun i'm a huge supporter of the kind of gun um i came to do a quick uh comparison is what i wanted to do for you guys today because i know you guys have been asking me a lot about mechanic whether it's worth buying whether it's not is it a good gun is it this and that i mean i mean there's so many videos that i have on my channel about the canik um just so you guys know i also shoot the glock um glock saved my has saved my life a few times so um i'm kind of partial to the glock uh i still carry my glock um you know and i still shoot my glock as well um but i do love to shoot the canning too so the comparison today is pretty much going to be between the tp9 elite combat the meter sft canik and then the brand new um rival that just came out okay i know you guys have asked me a couple questions about the rival what might what you thought about it uh or what i thought about it and um you know whether it was worth getting it or not or so on and so forth okay uh so let's go ahead and start with uh the tp9 combat um elite combat right and that was the first probably the first attack gun that i got from uh clear and empty the first attack gun that i got from canik it is it was this particular model is a um it was a collaboration with city and arms so it does have um fiber optic front uh sight and then plain black rear comes like that the pistol grip the the biggest issue that i always had with the tp9 is the the size of the grip okay as you can see here my hands um this pinky is pretty much on top here right uh then you would put a mag in it okay and even though if you have the magazine well magwell on here it's still a little bothersome right it has a smaller or shorter pistol grip um not a big fan of that but get around it not a big deal okay it does have it does have as you can see here has an extended magazine release okay it also has a slide lock lever that's kind of pretty big so you can't miss it which is very very good it has an aftermarket uh trigger as well and then on this particular model i believe this is the executive tp9 league combat it has the gold barrel okay uh salient arms so if i remember correctly the trigger and the barrel are both salient arms and they put obviously they have some serrations in the front uh this particular barrel uh comes with the ability to put an actual suppressor on it um so it has this little piece here okay um the little things right shoots great trigger is good um if i were to compare this one to the mete sft okay i'm gonna compare these two first so you have them side by side here right off the back one thing you will notice is the grip on the meta sft is bigger so you can see that all my fingers right still has a magazine well now i can tell you this i think every mechanic other than the sub compact and like the basic gen one comes with uh comes with this so that's really good that's that's a that's a big plus right especially when you're talking about reloading mags quickly goes in a lot faster right now this model the magazine release isn't as doesn't pop out as much as the as this tp9 right this one is like really extended out there this one isn't okay personally i could tell you this this is a little bit rougher right as you can see here if you get a close-up on here you'll see that the mag release right here it has like a rough piece to it i like that a lot better and i'm not a huge fan of the extended mag reds just because sometimes in your holster it may hit something and then it drops your mag out or loosens out your mag and then when you go to present or you gotta go shoot boom you see sometimes the mag drops right uh so personally i like this better okay has the same exact um slide lock lever has the front serrations okay as you can see here rear serrations just like this one okay same exact concept they both have almost the same exact uh serrations on it the optics a little bit different on the mate optic is uh white it has black rear and then you have little two white dots and then a white dot in the in the front right this one it comes with the fiber optic okay uh this would have been better obviously i personally like the fiber optic front red front better um for iron sights um but personally okay if i had to choose between um the tp9 okay and i want to show something here you're gonna notice that if you put them side to side the barrel and the slide is a little longer on um i don't want to say not the barrel i'm sorry the slide is a little bit longer on this particular model right it's really barely anything but it has a little bit extra okay compared to the tp9 elite combat okay um the barrel i think is the same because they both have threaded barrels for suppressor uh but the slide itself okay now look if you notice if you see the two triggers right this has a uh a regular standard trigger okay and then this has that city and arms trigger okay i personally i like the meter trigger better um i've never been a big fan of straight straight on triggers okay i have one in my glock and uh i don't know i just don't like it i like uh a curved trigger better that's just my personal preference but it doesn't matter it depends on what you like okay but in regards to a full size gun i would say that meta sft is a better uh better option right than your tp9 elite combat because of the just mainly i could just tell you just from the pistol grip alone okay all right now they both have options for an rmr as you can see right here uh you can put it rmr this let me see yeah they're both the same size pretty much the only difference between this one the tp9 is what i'm looking at now is you're putting if you put it here it's pretty much taking up the spot of your rear sight okay on this particular mechanic the rear sight's put on the right behind the armor slot the rmr slot so for your optic okay so we have that comparison those two firearms okay uh now let's talk about the brand new rival that just came out uh what my thoughts on what my thoughts were or what my thoughts are on this rival i put around 400 rounds through it yesterday and um i think what they wanted to do with with this particular sfx rival was pretty put the meter sfx and the tp nut elite right and join them together making the rival so that's what it seems to me like they did right and they made it a hopped up version you know like a um a tp9 combat and a meta sft mixed blended in together and now you have your steroided version um rival okay why do i say that because what you see here is you see you can see normal you compare same length okay pistol grip from the meta sft all right this one's shorter same same right now look at the trigger the trigger you have here is a tricked out version of the trigger that you would have on your tp9 okay it is not the trigger that you're going to have on this meta sft right so now you have two combinations right there okay uh barrel length right barrel length you want to compare if we go the barrel is going to be the same if you have a threaded barrel it's pretty much the same length but the actual slide is going to be longer the slide is going to be even longer than the actual volcanic sft which what i'm thinking is the slide is the same length as the sfx model now and that's probably why they call this the rival sfx right so you're gonna you have your tp9 parts in there which is you got your your uh you have your um trigger right at the same time it has as you can see here it has the same mag release as the the tp9 it doesn't have the mag release of the sft okay i should have brought my now that i'm thinking about it i should have brought the sfx because it probably has a couple things with sfx now what it does have that is it is different and which is the one of the most noticeable things of everything is the slide uh serrations as you can see here it has a port on the top port on the side port on the side and the slide is like completely serrated different now is that good or bad okay this is the only issue that i have with the slide being um completely serrated like that okay it no longer fits in a holster for an sft or a tp9 right so if you were to compare let's say a tp9 this is your holster for a tp9 as you can see right here it fits perfectly then you have your holster for a sft fits perfectly but right now if you do this doesn't fit because of the serrations okay and what they did to the slide okay so now you have to buy a brand new holster now it does come with a holster as you can see right here this is the holster that it comes with it is a kydex holster and is it aftermarket horse and it works just fine okay but for someone like me who runs um a drop down rig right like i run a drop down rig usually from blackhawk okay now this blackhawk right here fits just fine this is for a light i don't have a light on here but it fits just fine on this particular model okay right now this one it doesn't see how it runs you can see it right here right so now i have to literally i'm gonna have to go and get another i'm gonna have to go and get another uh holster okay not a big deal not a big deal you just get a custom holster made right so whenever you buy a new gun most of the time you have to get a new custom ultra mate or you can if you're happy with this one you can use this just use this one it's not a big deal my biggest thing is just for me for my body type i have to have like a lower rig i can't have the when the gun is dropped a little bit farther down and i do this i should be able to grab the gun by doing this when it's a high it's higher up on my waist i have to literally change all my body dynamic and have to reach down pull my body down reach forward come up and then go around here it's literally where i just go here and it just comes right out normally right um so that's one issue okay now in regards to shooting shooting the firearm shooting all three of them okay i like the rival it's good the trigger on it is way better than the tp9 i can tell you that all right uh even though this trigger is good uh it's a good trigger this this particular model um it's just it is it is a wider it has a i gotta say it's a wider trigger so for my hands it's a little bit better um maybe three pounds two and a half three pounds uh you know so it's a really really good trigger i gotta say that the gun shoots phenomenal has uh fiber optic fronts plain black rear adjustable as you can see right here you can adjust it and then it also has the where you can put a rmr if you want to run an rmr with it okay um you know for me okay for me personally okay out of all three of them if i had to choose all three of them i would pick the meta sft that's my personal preference okay you're gonna have to go out there and see what what's best for you when we're talking about a full-size handgun um i think this they really uh for me my personal preference i like that one the best now i would what i would do here is i would just change the sights and put a red fiber optic front okay and then a plane back rear right you pick up the red front sight a lot faster now when it comes to magazines one great thing on magazines they're all interchangeable right so regardless of what magazine you have as you can see here we have magazines for the meter and for the tp9 as well okay all the magazines are interchangeable this was your tp9 mag you can see that okay fits on all of them okay so all the mags are going to change same exact thing now when you since the grip on this is a little shorter you're going to have an extended portion on there you see that on the long magazines and if you don't have the mag extension is going to be a little bit under the mag wall right same exact concept with the rival there you go right so this is what i usually run okay and that's what it looks like on your your typical pistol grip that that it's a full-size pistol grip right here you're gonna see that it's gonna pop out just a little bit see that but still works fits just fine right so little little things like that make a difference so i'm going to tell you why because it saves you money okay when you change your gun uh let's say you come out with a specific gun or whatever and you change a gun okay uh whatever is not interchangeable means that you have to buy it right so what i do like about mechanic is the fact that okay whatever magazines you have for your original tp9 or your original gen 1 mechanic works with the new rival works for the tp uh the manta sft metas fx they all work so that's a great thing okay just like um one thing that i didn't like about the glock right the glock came out with the glock 43 okay and then if you get the glock 43x the magazines from the glock 43x don't fit on the glock 43. uh they're they're bigger they're thicker right so they don't they don't go into the into the mag to the mag well right um that was an issue that i had you know because i have a glock 43 and a glock 43x so when i realized you can't interchange them or at least put the the longer the longer mag into that glock 43 would have saved you some money right that's what's great about the cannon you don't have to worry about that now one thing you do have to change if you if well you only have to change it if you get the rifle is you have to get you're gonna have to get a new holster if you want a specific custom holster for it but if you have a tp9 a media sft uh any of those models even a gen 1 model a holster one holster will fit all of them so you don't have to worry about that even even in even the metas fx it works right as long as you have an open bottom so an open bottom when you have on your holster that's why usually i get all my a lot of my holsters i get them open bottom just so if the barrel is a longer barrel or whatever is coming out of there you're good to go you're never going to have an issue compared to if you were to close the bottom now if you have a longer barrel or a longer slide then you're going to have issues always think about that whenever you get a custom kydex holster okay but that's pretty much it what i'm gonna you know i wanted you guys to just have a quick understanding of the three different pistols uh because i have had a lot of questions regarding them and what are the differences between all three of them and i think it's a good video for you guys to see some of the differences um on mechanic on on what they've accomplished in the last three or four years and i think they're killing it man i think koenig's a phenomenal gun i've never had an issue with any of the guns i can tell you right now i've put i put around through this firearm right here i probably put around i don't know maybe 3 000 rounds i only put around 4 500 through that through the arrival but this the meta sft and my sub compact i've put well over 5000 rounds maybe i would say probably closer to say six or seven thousand on the mat sft and the sub compact even more uh i would run that subcompact you could you can go back on my instagram and see all the videos i've done with the subcompact uh i'll be out here for seven or eight hours sometimes training and then i'll run you know easily seven eight hundred rounds no problem each time so um you know with that said you know it's always it always comes down to what you're willing to pay i honestly think for what you're getting on mechanic uh all the options and upgrades that you get on mechanic and what it they're charging for it's it's a great buy and it's a gun that is is it's gonna last you a very long time and you can put it through the paces and you're never gonna have an issue okay right uh and the trigger i just personally like the trigger on mechanics some people don't some people don't like the triggers on mechanic i do so it just depends man and and you know i always try to give you guys my you know my uh honest opinion on what i like about certain guns or whatever um you know i like to be uh 100 with you guys you know so you know if i tell you like i said before if i had to pick one i would pick the meta sft over the the rival okay but if you want a badass looking gun uh and you're you want to get that a new custom holster and and something cool um then the rival's the way to go because it has all the perks it has all the upgrades it has the the trigger standard slide release um i'm sorry this let's send it a mag release badass uh slicerations all kinds of cool [ __ ] with it you know magwell uh fiber optic front and then you have all the cool stuff that the meta sft already has right so uh hope you guys enjoyed it comment if you have any questions about mechanics or whatever oh one thing is all right who's who makes this holster this is a blackhawk so if you go to blackhawk it'll be on my description uh the custom uh thing you have 15 off if you wanted a a custom black [ __ ] hole so they do make it for the cannon as you can see here i don't know if they make it for the rival just yet okay i don't think they make it for the rival just yet but definitely the meta sft or the tp9 you're good to go um for insecure waistband custom kydex uh also another company that i work with that does custom kydex as well as chaos concealment all right um they k with the k right k a o s concealment uh the owner's really really good people he makes really good holsters and um good dude you just gotta hit him up on the dm on instagram or whatever and say hey this is what i want and he'll make you a holster for that okay uh but i would say i usually 99.9 of time run blackhawk i love their t-series you know it's got a retention on it and that's usually what i run right and i usually run that whether it's a glock or a cannon okay when it comes to inside the waistband now if i'm gonna run a full-size gun uh i usually use up the blackhawk as well before blackhawk didn't make uh holsters for the canik so um i i ran the chaos consume so hope you guys enjoyed the video on to the next one
