I own the canik tp9 sf elite and great gun. Really the only difference is the elites a little smaller and has upgraded fiber optic sights. This holds 18+1 rounds the elite holds 15+1 rounds. The elite was made for easier concealed carry while still being full sized and believe it was originally designed for police or military over in Turkey. Both would be a great choice. In my opinion for the price it's hard to beat the quality and what you get. It comes with a holster, different grip back straps for all sized hands, very comfortable to hold, incredibly accurate and eithers a great choice. Hope this helps.
