Looking to pick up a 9mm. One gun shop worker I know was saying the Canik firearms are nice. Anyone have any experience or thoughts about them?

Canik is probably the best bang for your buck. All models are good to go, except the Mete MC9. That one had a few issues upon release. Other than that, 👍

My question concerning Caniks would be the availability of holsters and aftermarket parts.

 

I had a guy want one for a duty type gun and couldn't find a duty type holster

So, are you looking to buy a Canik for duty as well? Canik is starting to make accessories themselves, triggers, barrels, and RDS. As far as duty weapons, you can't go wrong with going with the common brands. Each mfr offers awesome discounts, you might want to take advantage of that.

Turkish guns seem to be pretty solid. I've been reading about them for years and currently have two Turkish High Powers, three if you count the Springfield Armory version. The two pistols finished in Turkije are superior to the one finished in Geneseo, IL, and the price was lower.

 

Cheers,

Tim

Well looks I need to go put some hands on grips to see if I like the feel. Thanks all.

Let me know if you want to come by, I'd be happy to show it to you.

By all accounts the Turkish arms that make it into the USA market are solid, reliable and quite affordable. I'm luvin' my Silver Eagle 20ga semi-auto. I normally turn to Hickok45 on YouTube for honest, agenda free gun reviews and he had some good things to say about the Canik handguns.

I have the Canik C-100 in 9mm. It's my everyday carry. It's basically a clone of a CZ 75 Compact. It is very well made, shot dead on right out of the box. Never had a malfuction.

No experience with Canik myself, but if you are looking at budget options as well, the Taurus g series pistols are pretty hard to beat.  Especially their g3, g3c, etc.  They seem to be plentiful and have a decent following, so I think there’s a bit of aftermarket for them.  
 

But Canik appears to have some nice firearms as well.

I bought a p226 clone from them many years ago when they first popped up.  It was so cheap I just had to try it.

It's now buried somewhere but I remembering being impressed for the money and no problems, it was a keeper.
