I've got a TP9 SFX that has very reliable, accurate and is a lot of fun at the range. It's their full "target" model and have no experience with the compact models.

I acquired one in a trade but it wasn't what I was looking for---it seemed to a very well built piece,some really good feature like the trigger and the interior finish--shot really nice

A friend bought one of the first ones imported. It was accurate, had a great trigger for a striker. Don't remember the sights. The thing jammed on every kind of ammo we had, some of it aluminum case crap but not all. I just bought a TP9 Elite SC second hand on impulse. Cool looking gun with slightly longer barrel than Shield Plus (the Perfect One). If I hadn't committed sight unseen I would have balked. Big mistake - for me. It's clunky, too thick. The grip is too short and not too ergonomic at all - for me. The recoil spring is way too heavy. I cut my hand on the rear sight simply trying to rack it. Good sights. Good trigger. I lost $50 getting rid of it. Good riddance!

I have shot one and could find no bad words to say about. Well made and worth what it was paid for!

Recently picked up a Rival and have been shooting it frequently. Very accurate and reliable so far. I’d guess around a thousand rounds consisting of various hand loads and factory ammo. Have had 100% function. Very satisfied to date.
At our weekly club steel shoot there are quite a few Caniks of different varieties that show up. I’ve heard nothing but praise from owners. Some tweak them others shoot them out of the box.

When they first landed here and were ridiculously cheap my son bought 2 or three just to play with. His boys couldn’t seem to break them or wear them out and the next thing you know, one was in hi his EDC rotation. Now all he seems to carry is a 365, but he has nothing bad to say about the Caniks.

I haven't had one of the strikers or compacts, but I really like my S120, which is a steel frame, hammer fired cz75'ish clone. The barrel and slide is a little different than the cz, but overall it's been a really good gun. I like it.
