Canik 55 9mm Turkish Pistols

The Canik 55 pistols are clone guns. That simply means it isn’t the original: that is the CZ 75. Just as Kimber handguns are 1911 clones, the Canik 55 is a clone of the CZ 75. A company manufacturing a handgun on a certain pattern may make changes and these may be beneficial or not. The handgun may be built to be sold more cheaply or it may be improved to meet higher standards.

The Canik 55 is a good example of the gun maker’s art. It was designed to be a good gun at a certain price point and arguably we get a little more than we were willing to pay for in this handgun. The handgun compares more than favorably to the original.
