MisterF's Review of the Canik Stingray-C

[Genin]

Awesome thread and thank you for sharing the links for products you have used along the way. That's an attractive firearm you have there.

I'm going to keep this thread going so it serves as a good history of my love affair with the Stingray for future readers.  This update is about my holster purchase.

I purchased the Safariland 568-51-412 holster, and it arrived today.  Thanks to Genin and JWC007 for their feedback in Genin's thread at http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=63312.0

I paid $42.55 plus tax at Amazon for the right handed version.  Congrats if you're a lefty-you'll get to save three bucks.  The direct link to the one I bought is at http://www.amazon.com/Safariland-Custom-Beretta-Commander-Holster/dp/B001E1FU7W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398122715&sr=8-1&keywords=568-51-412

The craftsmanship is pretty good.  I see no flaws and it is very comfortable. For a little bit of background, the holster is adjustable and will fit a lot of different guns.  The CZ 75 and CZ 85 are two of the models that are listed by the manufacturer.   I was nervous buying a holster for a pistol that didn't officially list the Stingray-C as a compatible gun, but I'm glad I took the advice from the posters listed above.

Since this is an adjustable holster, you should plan to tweak it a little to find the right fit for you.  You can make adjustments with a Philips screwdriver and a flat head screwdriver.  I made a couple of adjustments to find the best fit, but it took about 2 minutes and no significant labor or hassle.  It fits snugly now and I have no concerns about my pistol slipping out.

It comes with a belt adapter, but I'm happy with the paddle that is available right out of the box.  It allows me to clip directly to my pants, which is nice and simple.  As of now, the Stingray isn't going to be my EDC gun, so I'm not going to be putting the holster through the paces in any sort of aggressive way.  I will primarily use the holster when at the range.  However, I would feel confident having the Stingray as my primary sidearm in a SHTF scenario, so I'm glad I've found a holster I'm comfortable with. 

I'm very happy with the Safariland holster purchase, especially at this price point.

Very nice!! I'm going to pick mine up tonight. Titanium finish with cerakote. $350 shipped from J&G Sales. Cannot pass up.

Update: Just brought it home. Absolutely perfect. Trigger, finish, mag release. Couldn't be happier. Can't wait to shoot it.

Glad you got that holster! I was very impressed with how well the stingray fit as well. I was surprised at how much I liked the paddle attachment. I thought I'd hate it, but it's really comfortable.
