CANIK55 SHARK-FC 9MM DESERT TAN 17+1 - FDE/Tan, 4.7" Barrel, 17+1 Rounds, 3-Dot Sights

I like the desert tan finish. The cerakote is very uniform and seems to be holding up well. This gun is a clone of the CZ75 platform and is made to resemble the baby eagle, jericho 941, in my opinion. It has very nice lines. The only thing that detracts from the looks are the cheap black plastic grips. This is easily remedied though because pretty much any CZ75 grips will fit this gun, although some fitting may be required. The gun ships in a decent black plastic case with 2 17 round magazines. It has pretty good sights, there a snag free design and are easy to get a good sight picture, at least for me and my 43 year old eyes. The gun does have an alloy frame so is pretty light. I was concerned this would affect recoil and follow up shots, but it did not. Very soft recoil and follow up shots were great for me. This may be due to the ported barrel (FC in the description stands for Full size Compensated). Whatever the reason the gun was easy to shoot and felt very good in the hand. I took it out after cleaning it and put a couple hundred rounds through it. The trigger is working in very nicely, but wasn't bad from the beginning. It had a very crisp single action pull and the double action, although heavy, wasn't bad either, smooth with some stacking at the end of the pull These canik triggers are very good out of the box when you consider the price. The gun shot very accurately for me with some pretty tight groups. Very nice pistol. I love mine. It's one of my favorite CZ clones right now. I do have a short video review of this gun on my you tube channel, username darink300zx. Check it out and my other videos of guns I've bought here. Oh and as for Buds, great as always, if I had any complaint about them it would be that they make it too easy to buy a gun online, LOL. My wife hates it, LOL.

My compliments to Buds on speedy shipping and great packaging. Shot on my property, 50 rounds of econo ammo. Not a single failure. Accuracy was excellent for someone who wears bi-focal lens. Minimum recoil. Recommended for women. My wife will probably trade in her XDM after she shoots this one. Value is excellent. Recommended for anyone, especially first time shooters.

I'm a VIP member, I ordered this gun on a Tuesday, it arrived on Friday! (On the other side of the country!) I bought my Shark after seeing a similar one at a LGS. I did a lot of internet research before ordering. I got the ported Shark FC in desert tan color. At first I thought the color might have been a mistake but the gun doesn't seem to show dirt or oil. Or maybe the ammo we were shooting was just extra clean. The gun itself is flawless. Beautiful workmanship. I don't see any machine marks, although I did see some on the gun I saw in the store. Frankly I think it's a better gun than the CZ original that it's based upon. We headed from the gun store straight to the hills. We shot a box of Armscor FMJ and a box of flat nose Remington (of some type) that we found in the back of the ammo locker, which is getting mighty empty these days. :( No issues with either ammo. We didn't have any targets with us so we used targets of opportunity and were both consistently shooting twigs off a bush at 50 feet right out of the box! Slow fire or rapid fire all were great. The ramp appears well finished. At first I thought it had been polished, but upon close inspection there are still some small ridges (TINY ones). Obviously smooth enough to deal with the flat nose junk we were shooting. At some point I'll polish the ramp but it's not necessary for good function. I personally don't notice a big difference in recoil with the ported barrel, but I am used to .44 mag, so a 9mm is a pop gun compared. Next time we'll take a Beretta 92 to compare. This is one sweet gun! I think they are going to catch on. And with Bud's guaranty you can't go wrong. PS - Just don't order the Chrome model - until I get mine!
