If you have gotten good service from your Tanfoglio or other clones of the CZ designed pistols, time to stand up and be counted. I want to hear about:
1.) Accuracy
2.) Feeding Reliability with hollowpoints or semi-wadcutters
3.) Target Matches you placed well in or game you have killed
4.) Use as home defensive arm or CCW
5.) Any other comments you may have
1st Range Trip for two clones, as well as two smaller carry guns, and I am happy to say after 300 combined rounds of 9mm and about 30 rounds of .22, not a single misfire, misfeed, etc from any of the four Canik Stingray (safe queen and range king), Witness P 9/22 Combo (for the SHTF kit), Ruger LC9s (daily carry) and SCCY CPX2 (car gun).
I shot the CPX first as I had one before and knew it was the longest springiest trigger, then my new daily carry the LC9s and its striker fired trigger was soooo much better.
But then, I picked up the Canik and fired the first shot, boy what a smooth shooter and the sights fall right back on the target so nicely because of the weight of being all steel. So smooth, the trigger wasn't even a thought, just bang bang bang every time the sights came back to the target. I could feel the difference in accuracy and when I didn't have to pull the target back to see the rather large keyhole developing around the bull! Marvelous range gun, too heavy to carry without a pistol belt but a marvelous gun, smooth, accurate, dependable. Fired it with both Winchester White Box 115 FMJ and Federal Classic JHP in 9mm. Love it.
Then it was the Witness' turn, deadly accurate just like its cousin the Stingray given they both use the same CZ inspired design. Not quite as heavy given that its polymer, although I had the 19 round mag in it at the time. Again it was smooth enough the trigger wasn't even a thought, SA was beautiful on both, as was accuracy because that keyhold in the middle kept getting bigger and I was firing as rapidly as the sights came back on target with all four guns. Again no issues with either White Box of JHPs and these were all out of the box guns, with nothing but a simple break down, wipe off, boresnake and lube on the rails. Then I switched slides to the 22 conversion, fired off 3 mags of 10 rounds of value pack Federal 40g without a hitch, so then I thought what the heck and tried 10 rounds of subsonic and again, went pop instead of bang, ten times in a row.
I tell people the Canik Stingray is the nicest gun you've never heard of and I mean it. The utility of the 9/22 and low cost ($360) will keep the Witness P Combo in my bugout vest too!
