It includes tungsten grey cerakote over nitride finish, Warren Tactical sights, and comes with holster, magazine loader, and cleaning kit. The trigger measured at approximately 4.25 pounds in independent testing.
Background
The Canik TP9 SFx disrupted the competition pistol market by offering a feature-rich, optics-ready platform at roughly half the price of established competitors like the CZ Shadow 2 or Walther Q5 Match. It quickly became the top recommendation for budget-conscious USPSA competitors.
