Century Arms National Marketing Director Adam Ruonala spoke about the design philosophy behind the Canik Elite SC.
“The demand for a reliable, double stacked, concealable handgun, at a price point the blue-collar American could afford without sacrificing quality or comfort was a challenge the Canik team accepted head-on! We are proud to say that the TP9 Elite SC is exactly that, a superior handgun.
“This firearm was designed with the sole intent of being an everyday carry for everyone from the Law Enforcement officer as a backup, to the private citizen who wants the peace of mind in knowing the capacity and functionality of the pistol is top of the line.”
