So, I received the holster shell for the Canik TP9 Elite SC on Saturday.
I installed it on my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0 holster base, although I hat to mess around with the mounting screws and bushings to customize the fit. As well, I used blue thread locker on the screws. I’ve been carrying the handgun in this holster half the day. It carries well with this holster. It doesn’t protect from the grip texture, though, but I installed rubber Talon Grip tape on the grips on Saturday, as well, so the texture doesn’t beat up my skin.
I’ve yet to give the N8 Tactical holster a try. Maybe soon.
Also, I want to give the holster that came with the handgun another try, soon, too.
I found that I’ve another box of Hevi Shot 100-gr frangible 9mm ammo. I shot most of a box (of 50) from the TP9 SC. I think I may attempt to use this ammo as SD/HD ammo. It shoots flat and doesn’t jam the handgun.
UPDATE:
I’ve been giving the Alien Gear holster a try, carrying it around the house. It carries well but the included Canik holster works surprisingly well. I still do not know which I’ll use. I suppose I can use all three over a long time span and report on my findings. So, with that being said, I’ll be carrying with the Alien Gear first!
