First, Canik is a real world military contractor. They have a world class factory and they are capable of producing very good guns. I have yet to come across a "bad" Canik. What I like about their CZ knock offs is they make a full size with an aluminum frame, that's kick ass!

The all steel, full sized, CZ75 is rather light for an all steel pistol at around 32-34oz for a full sized pistol. So when you go aluminum, you're talking like 27-28oz on a full sized service pistol. The compacts are super nice as well. The only "down" side to the Canik's is they are not parts interchangeable with CZ (I suspect they designed the trigger group like the Tanfoglio). So Cajun Gun Works parts don't fit, but I suspect Cajun is working on it because lots of people are buying the Canik's.

In short, I'd buy one.
