TriStar/Canik T100 versus C100???
« on: September 01, 2019, 05:07:55 PM »
I'm a bit confused about two of the Canik/TriStar offerings:

 They have a C 100 and a T 100 and while I could get the specs for them both (T100 is 7", 15 round mags, 3.95 barrel, and 5" high with the C100 at 7.2" long with shorter barrel at 3.7" and 5" high) I can't find anything that compares the two.

 Does anyone have any experience with both of them?

 Reviews are good for both as far as price/value; they both mimic CZ75 compacts; but after that there isn't too much, so I'm looking for some input.

 I could just go for a CZ compact, but I don't really need one but at the lower price point I can see adding a Canik to the safe.

When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

Not sure what more differentiation you are looking for.  I have both.  T100 is more "modernistic" I suppose.  The frame extends to the end of the Slide whereas the C100 stops short perhaps ½ to ¾ of an inch of the slide.  Doubt that makes it more tight or accurate although one could suppose it.  In 9mm both have steel alloy / aluminum frames.  In .40 cal the c100 a P100 are steel frames.  T100 doesn't come in .40.  As to the slide release and safety levers, while the both function identical, the T100's engagement hump is slanted at a approximate 30 decree angle.  In my hands the slight angle provides nothing different other than cosmetics.  Both are excellent shooters.  My P100 has a dust cover cut that will accept lights.  Will to share more if your have specific questions.  Get the one that appeals to you cosmetically over the other.  That's about it.
