You a re the pro
So, - you’re the guy with spoonful of soot next to a jar of honey LolI agree! I hope they are all enjoying retirement
Not sure what means but I can rub one out with anythingSo, - you’re the guy with spoonful of soot next to a jar of honey Lol
Till she asks you to give her one since it was 'free'.They give them away at the gun shop. Done. How long have you been married? That was an easy one
Don’t spill it into honey,Not sure what means but I can rub one out with anything
The tool? Go for it lolTill she asks you to give her one since it was 'free'.
Do you own shotguns?Don’t spill it into honey,
I never owned anything made in Turkey and really don’t know anything about it and never thought of it in any way - like a quality product.
So are caniks yet hear we are
Didn't even notice“Here”
Didn't even notice
For posterity I'll leave it alone so everyone can see how retarded I am!
That's what Cosby said the day afterIt was an easy serve, I had to spike it.
It's not if you have anything more than a microscopic worldview of the gun and its system. If you look beyond that the costs aren't much different from its peers. Especially on back end resale. Canik effectively is still an off brand. That means that reduced frontal cost will bite hard if you ever had to sell it or trade it in. Caniks are good guns but if i owned them i wouldn't bother selling them because of the beating you'd take on the back end. (This isn't the worst thing but it's a reality you have to accept when going in that direction. )Less expensive
I wouldn't say most..... its more like bird/sporting guns than anything else. Once you get out of that zone the numbers drop. I have a CZ1012, that's a turkatron gun too, but at least its serviced by CZ if it breaks. A lot of turkey trans the Importer will just play games so that the manufacturer isn't liable for whatever junk is out there turkatrons can vary from being excellent like a Huglu or absolute garbage depending on the spec of the Importer etc.Do you own shotguns?
Because there's a 85% you own a Turkish banger most shottys are Turkish imports
The fit and finish on them are great
And i had one back when i lived in nh
Had 7k rounds through it... ran like a sewing machine
The turks make really good guns

FWIW that cz i beat the piss out of it and probably put several thousand shells through the thing and only give it minimum maintenance the only thing that ever broke on it was this little plastic bushing ferrule thing that is meaningless under the comb. Great shotgun for 600ish bucks.
Yeah, I’ve tried Glocks but they just don’t fit my hand like a CZ75, CZ83 or even my 1911. I have short fingers and when I grip a Glock, it‘s like gripping a 2x3.The same could be said for every other striker gun.
It's another striker gun to use, and for some people a Glock doesn't fit their hands, a canik is better for the easy button types.
Yes exactly... there are so many different ergonomics going on that I'm glad they make so many different kinds of handguns so that different people can shoot what they need to shoot. I don't have a ton of compatibility problems although the CZ 97 is one of them... the magazine well is too large front to back, to allow me to easily hit the mag release without flipping the gun and basically for me that gun is an ergonomic nightmare although it looks like a finely crafted handgun.Yeah, I’ve tried Glocks but they just don’t fit my hand like a CZ75, CZ83 or even my 1911.

The 509 is great if you never shot another gun. The only trigger worse imo is the apx carry
And the original version had the striker block lift out of the frame and you could disable the gun by pushing it downThe APX in addition to being fugly had a "weird hitch in the giddyup" of the trigger that was foul but I think the 509 is worse. Scratchy as f***, and you can tell just by dry firing the guns that its not just "going to smooth out on its own over time" its really THAT f***ing scratchy. makes Glock and even M&P factory triggers seem f***ing delightful comparatively speaking. Honestly even the much maligned Smith SD9 VE would be a better buy than a 509, at least those triggers can be cleaned up.

Meh, worrying about resale value is pointless. Buy what shoots good and is reliable or buy special edition guns and keep them as safe queens so one day you can make a profit.Sure? You can buy a new Canik for a lot less than a new Glock, even in a free state. The delta in used vs new for Caniks and Glocks is big in percentage, but not so much in actual dollars. e.g.: New Glock price minus used Glock price is not really that different from new Canik minus used Canik.
or put another way: you can lose $300 selling a glock, or $300 selling a Canik, but the Canik is cheaper to start out, so there's a lower overall cost (if opportunity cost has a value)

My wife spends an ungodly amount of $$$ on dietary supplements so I have no problem spending a few (or a lot) of bucks on stuff, whether it's firearms, ammo, accessories, guitars, basses, etc. So many of my guitars and basses look alike to the untrained eye (my wife's) that she has no clue what is new or old...same with my guns. I don't hide my purchases from her per se' and I usually leave them in plain sight most of the time. If she notices, she doesn't say anything though once I bought a bass guitar that was different enough she did notice..."Is that a new bass?", she asked. Yep...what do you think? She just said, have fun.
We've been married 43 years today. If we haven't sorted all that stuff out by now, I guess we never will .

This.....I traded mine. Got what I bought it for after 3K rounds because of the price I bought it before they became popular. If I put it here I would have had to dump it for 150 to the cheap ass tire kickers on this fxcking site. I got double that in trade.The canik will take you 3 times as long to move (you did mention opportunity cost, lol) and you will lose more money. There is no way around this, it's the way the market is. Off brands don't have that kind of flex outside of new retail.
So if you don't care about the huge loss of stored value, then NBD. But IMHO when the totality of circumstances is taken into account, as I've mentioned before, this quibbling over a couple hundred bucks on a striker gun is just shitty math that doesn't pan out in the long run. We're talking about a price difference thats less than a case of 9mm..
"saving money" by buying a canik is a fools errand. Maybe you save money if you buy like, 10 of them or something. Sure.
I agree with this."saving money" by buying a canik is a fools errand. Maybe you save money if you buy like, 10 of them or something. Sure.
