Unpopular opinion: Canik TP9 Elite is overrated
Ok hear me out. The Canik TP9 Elite gets SO much hype but after owning one for 5 months I don't see it. Trigger is meh, ergonomics are average. Sold it and got a Ruger LCP MAX and couldn't be happier.
Anyone else feel this way or am I crazy?

You should check out the CZ P-01 too. Similar price point and I think the trigger is better.
Ehh I kinda agree tbh. Tried one at Mesquite gun show last month and wasn't blown away. For the price point there's better options imo. Though I will say the aftermarket support is pretty good if you want to mod it up. What made you go with the LCP MAX over something like a Shield Plus?
You're not crazy but comparing a full-size to a pocket pistol is like comparing a dump truck to a sports car. TP9 Elite served me well as a bedside gun - that trigger reset is actually pretty good once you get used to it. But hey, if the LCP MAX works better for your needs then you made the right call. Different tools for different jobs.
