Canik x Salient Arms TP9 Elite Combat Airsoft Training Pistol Licensed by Cybergun / EMG (Color: Black / Essentials Pack)

"I love this pistol. It kicks hard, it's very gas efficient, and it has the smoothest slide action I have ever felt on a pistol. My only issue with it, and judging from other reviews this is definitely an intended feature from the real pistol, is the trigger pull. Dry firing with no gas, this pistol has the mushiest and lightest trigger pull I've ever felt. There's no click or anything. However, when there is gas in it, suddenly the trigger goes from the softest pull I've ever felt to the heaviest pull. Every person I've handed this pistol to thought something was wrong when they tried to fire it- even the refs at the field I brought it to. The trigger pull didn't make it impossible to use by any means. I was still able to hold my own with is just as well as any of my other pistols, and shooting it feels really good. Just keep in mind that if you want to rapidly fire a bunch of shots off in a row, you will likely tired your trigger finger out very quickly. But, short bursts of a few shots should be fine which is generally how you should be using a pistol anyways.

Oh, and somehow the rear iron sight fell off at the arena I went to. No idea how or when it did and by some miracle the staff were able to find it and it slid right back on into place. But, just to be safe, I might try to find a way to keep it in place so that doesn't happen again.

Other than that, this gun is great. The build is solid and shooting it is really fun. Absolutely worth it if you want something that's a bit more unique than your Glocks or 1911/2011s.

"Super good pistol, hop up works well, it fires heavier bbs to longer ranges than my aap01. The trigger is hefty, if you want to be sure about your shots, this one makes it no accident to discharge a bb. The barrel and slide feels a little wobbly, but I don't think that's poor quality, the barrel actually dips down when the round cycles, which is satisfying to see.

"Great gun... newer to airsoft but not to real steel. This trigger is awesome. EXACTLY like the real thing, reset and all. The break is super crisp. So much better than any other airsoft I have shot so far! Heads up though for the young kids, the trigger may not be easy for them to pull, or a full day of playing might not work for them with this one and may get fatigued fast. But this is a must buy!!! Can't wait for upgrade parts for this... the detent seems a little squirrely but very accurate at 50 ft. When upgrades come out then this will really be able to reach out but definitely only good for cqb right now

"I have the real Deal Canik TP9 Combat Elite. I have a Vortex Venom with Doctor mounting Plate. Since I have the Sight removed form the Canik. I tried it on the Salient Arms. It fits Perfectly, so any of the Mounting plates from Canik for the TP9 Combat Elite should fit on the Salient. I have not tested it yet to see if there is any adverse effects from the extra weight.

"A great gun it comes with the owners manual, its the best gun I have ever shot I like the blowback it is green gas powered, most of my freinds said it was the best gun they have seen.

"Very nice gbbp. So much fun. Everyone I shoot with it. I mean show, sorry. Wants one. Functions like a real pistol, if not sure what blow back is. The slide operation is just as real as semi auto pistol. For law enforcement it’s great for indoor training. SIMS are not cheap at any means. All you need for this. BB’s and cans of gas. So easy to maintain and clean. Breaks down like real thing. Trust me you will have with this where ever you are. Want to start thatching you children. This is it. Do drills, clear you own house or neighbors cat. Welll ya know….. this is top notch. Well worth the $$$. Cop for 22 yrs SWAT for 16 man I wish we had these back in the day of pew pew pew. Get one show admin. Let them pop a few off. SOLD,…..

"very good gun shoots well and stays faithful to the real steel counterpart down to the takedown mechanism. very accurate fire out of the box.

"Update. Just shot it and shoots really well but might need to adjust it a little. Alps I bought an optics plate from caniks website however the screws that come on the pistol aren't long enough to fit the optic plate on the too so I had to get a longer set of screws so it works perfectly now. Just something to think about.

"real realistic good for cqb and realism nice strong trigger and good blowback. don’t recommend for a primary or any competition play

"This was my first ever Airsoft gun. After some trial and error and can say this thing is great for sure! The shipping grease causes the gun to malfunction, feeding issues and hop up doesn't work at all. Once you clean the barrel and hop up unit with some isopropyl alcohol or any kind of de greaser this thing really starts work great.

"Canik tp 9 is a nice starter gun it feels nice in the hand and looks good too. It came well lubed and works well with the few mags I have shot out of it. My only issue so far is the the replacement mag I purchased has been leaking a little bit but it hasn’t been terrible. Shorting the gun was nice nice and accurate out of the box!
My other concern is that there isn’t a whole lot of customization options or upgrade options so it’s a bit sad I’m thinking of a co2 Glock next. But it was a good starter :)

"Have run a few mags through and chrono’d it with .20 bbs. It’s coming in around 340 fps (1.09 joules).

The feel and construction feels REALLY good. I also like the striker fire system they have going with the trigger. Put together a review for more in depth info:

"Currently have not shot this gun yet but my god does it feel good. Amazing build quality. Well oiled as well. Looks very very close to the real deal. Give it 4 stars cause I haven't shot it yet but I'm sure it will perform well.

"Good quality build. Only disappointment is the trigger….very, very heavy making it not the best for USPSA practice!

"Great pistol however all the mags I bought leaked like crazy. I would not recommend this gun if you wanted to use multiple mags.
