The CANIK TP9 ELITE SC represents a purpose-built compact 9mm Luger pistol engineered for discrete carry and efficient engagement. This platform integrates a 3.5-inch barrel with a robust polymer frame and a durable Tungsten Cerakote slide, delivering a balanced system optimized for concealed applications without compromising operational performance.
Key Features
Precision Engineering & Construction
The TP9 ELITE SC features a 3.5-inch match-grade barrel, precision-machined for consistent projectile velocity and accuracy. The slide is constructed from durable steel, treated with a Tungsten Cerakote finish to provide enhanced resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental stressors. The reinforced polymer frame ensures a lightweight yet rigid structure, designed to mitigate recoil impulse and maintain component integrity under dynamic use.
Ergonomics & Control
Ergonomic design is central to the TP9 ELITE SC. The grip frame incorporates aggressive texturing for a secure purchase, facilitating positive weapon control in varied conditions. Its compact dimensions ensure minimal printing during concealed carry, while the well-placed controls offer intuitive access for rapid manipulation.
Integrated Optics & Sighting System
The slide is factory-milled for direct optic mounting, accommodating various micro-red dot sights for enhanced target acquisition capabilities. This integration allows for a low-profile optic co-witness with the installed sights, ensuring redundant aiming solutions. The low-profile steel sights provide a clear, unobtrusive sight picture for conventional use.
Striker-Fired System & Trigger Performance
Utilizing a single-action only, striker-fired operating system, the TP9 ELITE SC delivers a consistent trigger pull with a crisp break and a short, tactile reset. This trigger mechanism is engineered to optimize shooter interface, promoting accurate shot placement and rapid follow-up shots under pressure.
Modular Utility
A Mil-Std-1913 Picatinny accessory rail is integrated into the dust cover, enabling the attachment of tactical lights or laser aiming modules. The pistol is supplied with both a 12-round flush-fit magazine and an extended 15-round magazine, providing operational flexibility based on mission requirements.
