 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today We're going to do a range comparison with the Steyr M9 a1 versus the canik TP9 SF Elite both compact size striker fire handguns both have similar weight to it loaded The canik on the right has a 4.2 inch barrel. The Steyr has a 4 inch barrel They actually measure up quite well. Let's start with the Steyr This one has an OD green frame. They now make the A2MF Which is quite a bit more expensive. These are hard to find and Steyr across the board is hard to find but people who have them love them and they say that they perform great now it has a 17 round mag They also have a C model with a 17 round mag shorter slide and barrel But the M9 I would say is the most popular what makes Steyr a little bit different outside of It being very hard to find is the way it looks you can see that the Forehand is rather thick and kind of a new-age look to it and the sight picture It's called trapezoidal sights angled rear sights Triangle front sight you fill that in and it shoots really well now the trigger pull is At five and a quarter pounds not a tactical reset but a fairly short reset and They're elusive. They're hard to find and if you can find this you're looking at right about 500 bucks All right But it's a nice handgun and I've had this one for quite a while I've had just about all the Steyr models and this is the current one that I have Let's take a few shots. I believe I have 10 rounds loaded up Let's go nice It's really interesting to fill in that triangle with the angled lines in the rear a Bit fat on the slide But it's always performed very well easy to assemble Nice all-around handgun, but over here. We've got the canik TP 9 SF Elite This is a bit cheaper. You can purchase this for under $400 and a lot of people love canik They offer a lot in the case. This one has a 15 round mag It will accept the larger mags 4.2 inch barrel Fiberoptic front sight serrated black rear sight. It's feature loaded with ambidextrous slide stop Mag Z release can be moved over has forward serrations a full pick rail The Steyr had an accessory rail with one slot has loaded chamber indicator bar and A cocked striker indicator the trigger pull on this is a bit lighter four and a half pounds With a very short reset This makes for a pretty good comparison. We have a lesser expensive more featured handgun Versus a awesome Steyr M981 handgun that a lot of people love I think a lot of people love both of these. I've owned this one for a little bit, but I've had Several caniks that I've owned throughout the years and still do What's going on here? Hey, so I missed the first couple I may have raised that site a little bit if I slow it on the video I'll see what exactly is that happened there But the canik actually offers more For less money the Steyr hard to find but it is extremely cool and I own both so I really don't have a Bias, you know, I don't have bias any time I do these Sight hole indicator right there love the color if you go to canik The newer ones have a tungsten gray finish 500 bucks if you could find it You know 380 to 410 we'll say that with the canik Which one would I choose? Well? if you look at what canik offers and Typically, I shoot it really well Not so much today, but I would go with the canik. It's less less expensive It offers more. I like the fiber optic front sight I like this shorter trigger pull or shall I say lighter trigger pull and I think that the Urgels are very nice and it can accept a larger mags. The Steyr has my respect I really like the a2 mf, but those go around 700 bucks and they are pretty expensive and that the slide is Rather fat, but that's okay. I love them both What I really want to know is which one would you choose if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
