I have the Zigana Px9 G2 and a Girsan MC9 the thing about Turkish made handguns is they need to be broken in with 124g ammo because they were manufactured in NATO facilities..I had stovepipes with both pistols using 115g then I switched to 124g fired 300 rds and hadn't had an issue since and now it runs both grains smoothly BTW love the 80's style intro very cool
I was lucky to pick up px9 last week here in San Antonio TX. My purchased from a pawn shop was in pristine condition with M&P Tridium Night Sights. Paid $240.00 . I am extremely excited to get to the range this weekend!
I paid $219 ($30 rebate included) for the SAR 9 in December. That was without a doubt the best purchase I’ve ever made. Gun or not. I live in F’in NJ so even though it didn’t ship with the 2 included magazine, i was able to find 10 rounders for $30 each that came before the gun was cleared through my FFL. I got 2 of those and that was $66 all in with shipping. If someone told me that i can get a brand new, Turkish made 9mm pistol that went through hell for its consideration for the Turkish Army’s new sidearm with replaceable side/ back straps and the feel of a VP9/Glock 17 for $285 + $40 for the FFL = $325 i would have bought 100 of them. This deal went on for a month or so at PSA and my FFL immediately bought one when he saw the receipt upon delivery. I’d say for once that…..WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. Several of my friends in various states also bought it for the amazing price and quality and we all now use it for our Home Defense Gun. 6 out of the 7 replaced their Glocks including me. Go out and get this bad MF
Great Video!!! Regardless of how most folks feel, I like the Turkish guns... thus far Girsan is my fave company. The Regard is a bad ass machine for us Beretta fans that don't want to drop 1200 on a m9. Canik comes in hella close 2nd. I have a Zigana coming in a few days, heard rage reviews and saw TONS of awesome videos of it in action, can't wait to squeeze off that 1st hundo!!
I own the SAR 9. And it is the best pistol I have ever owned. Shooting the SAR 9 is so much fun. Accurate right out of the box. You can not find a better pistol !!
@Lewis Thompson the Canik mags don't lock the slide open on the Taurus. Do you know which other may or may not be fully functional? Always nice to have only one type of magazine. Now I have the Taurus/Canik , Colt XSP, and 1911.
Hahaha I know, I completely missed doing that portion. I made sure to in their individual reviews though lol. Thanks btw, I think you'll be very happy with the PX9. It's a great little pistol!!
PX9 MY FIRST AND ONLY HAND GUN.A year and a half. One and only session so far. Cheap ammo, jams every 5th round. Misdeeds. Will try again this week end.
@@obaidsafi4930 I smoothed out some of the sensitive area, now it shoots well. One jam in 30 shots. Not too bad. Can't afford the ammo to shoot more yet. Stovepipe jams.
@GMSpecials over 1,000 plus Rounds all kinds not one jam or Hiccup.. but I ran 100 rounds of Hott 9mm 1st because of the stiffness of the spring these guns are built like a Sherman Tank" for NATO Standard.. so the Hott Ammo is or should be cycled 1st Did the same with my Canik....
Some awesome looking firearms for the money. Look brand new and you have all stuff came with. I am terrible with keeping organized like that. Thx for sharing bro🤙🇺🇸
@@ToddTheGunGuy Yeah man, and more ammo. That stuff is getting so hard to find (especially at a reasonable price). I can't find a box of 20 rounds of 3030 for less than 60 these days.
Great video. Any thoughts on the Girsan MC21, Girsan Regard MC Gen4, and TISAS Zig 14? I read an article where it mentioned that Canik makes up 75% of the Turkish handgun exports to the US. So that means SAR, TISAS and Girsan are 25% combined. The Sar-9 series is up there with the Canik TP9 series, I'm surprised they don't have a bigger marketshare. I think Canik does well marketing wise, they have special editions like the Salient Arms collab (TP9 EC) including the "Battlefield Trophy" colorway, and the TP9 SFX 'Signature Series' including the "Whiteout" (AKA "Storm Trooper") colorway and a yet to be released Black-with-Red-accents colorway. Meanwhile, TISAS doesn't update their YT channel, and Girsan doesn't even have one. If SAR does special editions they could carve out a nice collectors market too. You've got one of the best Sarsilmaz collections BTW. Canik has a SFX Rival handgun coming out, it's Grey-with-Gold-accents, a collab with CERAKOTE Coating. They've also made their own red dot accessory called MECANIK.
Thank you very much! I've actually been wanting to get my hands on the models you mentioned. They seem like great pistols and I'm always looking for more get my hands on and learn.
I have the SAR 9: RELIABLE , very accurate and the trigger is not bad at all: I have a CZ to compare it with: It's a brute, great grip and 100% RELIABLE ..... is that not the point for all our guns?
Good quality stuff here, keep posting man, try to get out to the range for reviews if you can, i know ammo aint cheap but do a couple clips of you shooting
@@shadowknight4738 Thank you! I appreciate your support! It's tough sometimes especially working, gym and everything but I honestly have a lot of fun with it.

I purchased the px9 about 3 weeks ago.i have same thing you have except I have 3 18rd mags.i ordered a light with laser ...be here next week.havent found any customs for it.do you have any links.nice video thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! I've been researching trying to find compatible sights and such. No 100% confirmations yet. As soon as I get some good info I'll drop another video or pin the comment if it pops up in here.
@@Slavinatorski I have a px9. I stippled the grip where the “snake” inserts are, as well as the back strap and front strap. I installed XS DXT2 big dot sights for a full size smith and Wesson. Mec-gar makes a 20 round Italian p226 mag that fits and functions like the 18 round that comes with it, with an added footplate. The sig branded 20 round USA mag functions but doesn’t drop free. 1200 rounds through mine. I love it better than some of my guns that cost twice as much. I bought it locally for 319.99. Been looking for another one to go full custom on. I want to mill the slide for an RMR/Holosun The barrel is only 4”. Not 4.5”. It’s sold three ways. First is 2-15 round unbranded mags, and a front night sight and a Philippines military crest logo. Then, like mine, 3 18 round Mec gar branded p226 magazines and no night front sight. I’ve been seeing the last batches mixed with 2 15 or 2 18 round mags. A side note, you can grind the bumps out of the 15 round mags to turn them into 18 round mags. The dimples or bumps are put there on the 15 round versions to limit the capacity. All three versions come with the holster, speed loaded and three back straps I had a sar bp when they first came out. Was a good gun for the price. Used cz75 mags.
Unfortunately you skipped the two most important aspects of any forearm starting with shooting and accuracy straight out of the box and most importantly, are the AK wielding gnomes included (and where available?)
Very good and detailed video! Have you checked out Canik btw? If you did what is your opinion? I believe their latest models are a little more expensive than those 3 (around 370$ if I remember right) but still a pretty good deal compared to Glock for example
Tha k you very much!! I've actually been thinking about picking up some Caniks to take a look at. They have some really nice models and people seem to love them!
@@Slavinatorski Haha it has taken the gun review community by storm these past 5 years I think you will like it! It will also make for some more quality content, keep up the great work!
They are budget compared to everything else on the market, but make no mistake, I do not think they are less at all. Finish out the video, you'll see what I mean.

@@Slavinatorski How about Girsan and Canik? They are also Turkish made pistols and have a good price level.
@@mrtwilxicu I've had several requests for Canik and I have a couple Girsan in my favorites lists too. I think I'll grab some as I heard great things.

The PX9 sounds interesting. My Caniks can use the226 mags. Also the Taurus G3C G3 and G2 can use the226 or Canik mags.
@Lewis Thompson the Canik mags don't lock the slide open on the Taurus. Do you know which other may or may not be fully functional? Always nice to have only one type of magazine. Now I have the Taurus/Canik , Colt XSP, and 1911.
Great video explaining each gun.
Amazing review chief, my 3 favorite handguns!!!
I have the canik elite and tristar P120 and love them both!!!
I would only recommend Sarsilmaz because they've been making quality guns since the 1800s.
Check out the gen 3 PX-9. Optics cut, 90 degree flat breaking trigger, side and back straps
You didn't test the triggers 🤯😁🤭 great video i have px9 on the way.
