I took delivery of my Canik TTI Combat in June of 2024. I proceeded to go to the range and shoot it with my standard 124 grain 9mm Sellier & Bellot (that I use on all my guns, including PPC with 0 issues). Nearly every other round would NOT fire. It was easy and quick to notice that the slide was not going back into battery. Pushing the slide with my thumb would temporarily “resolve” the issue, after another round was shot, then the cycle would start again. I immediately stopped and went out to the pro shop to purchase different weights and brands of 9mm loads just in case the gun was sensitive to a specific load or brand. Of 4 different brands and 3 different weights, NONE made a difference. All malfunctioned at the same or worse frequency. Incidentally, I do not reload my own ammunition; I only use quality rounds. All brass, all well known, well tested brands. I stopped, disassembled the gun and tried the included light spring. The problems got even worse. For the record, I am an experienced shooter, and I do not limp wrist. I invited other shooters in the range to come in and try it (just to make sure it was not me that was mishandling the gun in any way). They had either the same or worse experiences and a lot of raised eyebrows. Note that I own a Canik TP9SFX and I have not had a SINGLE issue with it. I absolutely LOVE that gun and purchased the TTI Combat based on my previous experience with Canik. At that point, I stopped (after about 200 rounds) and went home to thoroughly clean the gun as I heard rumors that the gun must be cleaned before it is shot, or that it requires xxx of rounds to “break in” the gun. A day later, after a thorough cleaning and inspecting all the parts, including purchasing two additional brand-new magazines, I went back to the range and bought new ammo in 119, 124, 148 and subsonic 160 grain. The TTI Combat malfunctioned the same way with either spring or either magazine. I went back home and sent out a message to Canik through their online service form including taking a picture of the slide when it was out of battery. Within 1 day, I received a very professional response from Canik stating that they recognize the issue and that they would be sending me through FedEx a new spring and to only use that one. I received the new spring that Canik sent within 2 days of my email/conversation. WOW. Ever since, the gun has NOT had a single malfunction. Not on ANY brand of ammo, ANY grain or ANY shooter. The problem was 100% fixed thanks to the new recoil spring assembly. In conclusion, I have to say that ANY company in ANY industry may experience problems. It is the way you HANDLE the problem, and you interface with the client base that makes all the difference. My experience with customer service at Canik was not mediocre, was not good, was not great, it was IMPECCABLE! Hence, I want to THANK the Canik service team for the manner and the matter in which they have handled this issue and resolved it satisfactorily. THANK YOU! I am a big fan and a return client.
So I just bought one and I’m gonna assume that canik has resolved this issue in the new version of guns, so I shouldn’t have any issues. Or I’m hoping it’s resolved
Always enjoy your honesty, however... I'm gonna have to say that I've had zero issues, and I just completed 1000 round review with my TTI, not a single malfunction or failure. It's definitely gonna be a keeper for me. Keep crushing it, bro🤜🤛
@@SMASHTIMEI don't understand these guns goes thru some serious tests before the market and uses by police forces and army in Turkey..Do you think this kind of failure those forces still will use it..I don't have this one but I have tp9 sfx competition ready model and I put lot of round on that and no problems..I would check that firing pin on that gun just n case..Did you buy this gun or someone send it to you for review????
WOW!!!!!!! you saved me a lot of money. almost bought one at my local GS till I started to hear about all the problems, think I will stick with my GLOCKS instead. Cheers
Same here, I have the SFX version. I have tried several different ammo brands, steel case, brass case 115gr, 124grn, 147grn, +P, hollow points and FMJ and have never had any failures of any kind.
@@SMASHTIME I don't own any Caniks but have only heard good praises from those in my parts that do. I wanted the TTi to be my first.... but now I'm not so sure. Do I choose the TTi or just go all out and grab a Sig P210 and call it a day? Hmmm
I took mine to a course last Saturday and had 1 malfunction, a double feed. I was also shooting one handed because I had surgery on my left elbow and wrist. It was hand loaded 115 grain. The gun ran perfect with the mecanik optic. I also used the holster it came with. With the double feed, I couldn't clear it by myself. I had the flushfit mag in and I couldn't strip it from the magwell. So 1 malfunction out of 500ish rounds using 124 grain, 115 hand loads shooting with my right hand. I'll chalk that up to limp wristed it.
My first 100 rounds on mine I had nothing but a ton of failure to feeds and no less then 5 light strikes . I now have 400 rounds through it and it is feeding perfectly fine. But I am still getting a lot of light primer strikes one every other mag. Canik is sending me a new recoil spring and striker assembly.
Caniks are more trash than treasure Great packaging and awesome trigger - that isn’t even their own (it’s a Walther trigger with lighter springs) It’s what you’d buy if you didn’t really know better
Sucks to hear. I fired a couple of their firearms pass couple years never had any issues, I own 2 of their firearms the canik subcompact And the rival never had an issue both new, the subcompact is my EDC rival range toy but thinks for Thanks for your opinion much respect I want to look deeper into this because I really do want one. I've had high praises and hope for canik over the years. god bless take care.
Great video I shot mine for the first time and had more problems with 147gr failure to eject and feed in the barrel. Brought it home and cleaned it and will see what happens tomorrow.
i heard talk around the grape vine this pistol was rushed out the door with out extensive testing which wouldnt surprise me if its true but i have to ask if you inspected the nose of the rounds that didnt feed or the casing on the ones that didnt allow the slide to go into battery for any abnormal markings also just out of curiosity what is the feed ramp like is it polished or coated in anyway
I have my canik Rival over a year 0 malfunctions 115 Gr right out of the box ,has shot everything the 50 Gr Underwood 147 . The Metal gun came out shortly after the Rival's .I Decided to wait I Put a Delta point Pro on it new, It had and still has the Best out of Box Wide Trigger i have shot ever . I will be keeping a good one like mine. I have another Favorite a staccato But i shoot it with iron sites . The DR920 P I had to break in with 200 rounds of Hot ammo after 200 rounds 115 gr it shoots everything My favorite thing is The Front Sight does not Replicate it stays out Front Great For iron sight shooting . CZ's I really Like But i carry the lightweight's .
I have an SFX. Out of the box I had cycling issues with 115gr. Swapped out the recoil spring to a blue 1. Runs flawless now. Just warn against using +p with blue spring.
That's why I don't mind if a gun is slightly used. If the manufacture runs a couple of mags through it to make sure it functions, then I'm fine with that.
I was thinking the same. Like to have saw how it ran for him. Looked like the kid was letting it move a little and that def will affect cycling. I mean if u let the firearm move action cannot!
picked mine up at the store with a range so unlubed and straight out the box fired 150 rounds of sellier & bellot 124 grain had two stove pipes and 3 failure to feed but could be because they blocked my mags to 10 rounds…. did some googling and found out you have to keep the slide locked for 24 hours for the stock spring to break in and took it to the range next weekend and it was flawless… and still not lubed up. im assuming it will run better if cleaned and lubed. but overall great gun for the looks but for function and value the rival S wouldve been a better value coz of the 3 mags included. and the TTI only comes with 2
That sucks that it didn’t work well for you. Got mine in 2 months ago, but finally getting my review out this Friday. No issues to report, but I agree with you, it’s definitely overpriced…
Great video! I get it! Great marketing strategy by Canik. Taran's name is going to sale. Let's face it it's a "poor man's" Cooper head. The oppertive word is "Combat." Is it really a combat pistol? It's not much better than a regular Rival or Rival S. Imo Over Hyped! 👍👍

Finally an honest canik review !!!! I traded mine after first try out. Ftf and a jam. Same category as a High Point. Pistol is junk. Trotline weight.
I have a Canik Mete, never had any issues and I really love it.

Fingers crossed.. how did it go>?
Got one a month ago. Started off with 200 rounds of 124 grain, then few hundred rounds of 115 grain. Not a single issue. So far, so good.
Thats great to hear.
where those light primer strikes? or failure to go into battery?
a few failure to go into battery but mostly failure to extract with all types of ammo
Unfortunately, im seeing limp wrest. Thats what's causing it not to cycle properly
Wow it keeps jamming

Humm I've been wanting one, have to rethink it
That's why I don't mind if a gun is slightly used. If the manufacture runs a couple of mags through it to make sure it functions, then I'm fine with that.
I never understood people that did not want to buy a gun thats used. I dont mind at all
Was it a fail to feed, or fail to eject? Noticed forward slide movement upon pulling the trigger when there was a failure.
a few failure to go into battery but mostly failure to extract with all types of ammo
@@SMASHTIME Have a gauge to drop into the chamber?
I havent had one issue with mine. Maybe have little man hold it tighter he seems to have a limp grip or change out the back grip
I was thinking the same. Like to have saw how it ran for him. Looked like the kid was letting it move a little and that def will affect cycling. I mean if u let the firearm move action cannot!
That thing is he shoots 10 different guns with no issues.... Happened to me also
@SMASHTIME maybe you bought a lemon, it happens with guns, cars and other things

Combat pistol should work better than all others
when you had that FTF & you ejected a round, was it a spent round or fresh?
some were spent / some were fresh.
Good video 👍
No Canik TTI for me.
Just went shootinf yesterday I got 300 rounds no malfunctions yet.
I have 2. No issues. When shooting 115 blazer brass I use the low power spring.
It appears that the youngster is limp writing the gun.
Ouch!
I have the PT9SFX good gun.
Thanks for saving me some money
Lil Smash is getting so big
Hey SMASH TIME can you review the Kimber R7 Mako. Im really interested and i wanna get your thoughts on it.
I’ll take it
👍👍.... I would get the canik pro or rival s over this.
100 Percent
They look good, but I didn’t see any difference then the other models even with the compensator
You kind of have a point there other than a different looks.They all fire and feel the same🤔
And I was going to get one of those
Pistols these days look so goofy. Can't wait for this Fad to end and go back to practicality. All these gizmos and gadgets for a shit group on a still target at 7 yards (Not you Smash, just those I unfortunately have to share space with on Earth)
I have to agree.. those guns are fun to look at but in all honesty I like my guns sorta plain.
1000 on mine and zero issues.....
Shot 100+ rounds through my PSA Dagger today, 0 failures
Exactly.. I have 600 through my dagger over the last year. no issues.
If it's not for you send it this way lol.
Have had this gun for about 2 months put well over 2000 rounds through it from 115 grain and up I had 1 failure
Own 1 and i love canik, but honestly, not impressed with the TTI.
I opted for the Rival S. In the ghetto fabulous chrome finish!! Lol.
I like that one a lot. Its not ghetto ahahahahaa
Maybe that's why it was $850 😅
I can take it off your hands for cheap of course since it doesn’t work reliably.
Go get g19x😊
Its not in batteri…. I Can se the slide is moving forward Wenneberg the trigger is pulled…. Regards from denmark
I'll run it for awhile for you.....
Take it hahahaaa Its on the chopping block.
Limp wrist of youngster causing battery issues
it worked fine, until the kid had it
Did you delete my comment lol 😂
I do not delete comments.. youtube will hold back comments if they think there is NON PC crap in it. I do not care as long as its funny
After owning one its kinda trash tbh its not much different then my sfx rival
These guns are garbage!! Mine like many was broken in the case!!
I own three caniks , bad review
Horrible group at 10 yards you should able to stack that
You are correct
