Gentleman,
Word on the Canik facebook page from a century rep is that the TP9 Compact is fixing to hit the streets. I know for a fact I will be getting one, If its a 15 plus 1 and roughly the size of a G19 im a buyer. Is anyone else interested in this pistol? If anyone has a line at Century can you provide some details? maybe a pic or 2? |

I'm sure they'll be as fast with this as they were at releasing the SFX model with red dot mounting, 20rd mags, and other competition-type mods.  http://www.centuryarms.biz/proddetail.asp?prod=MA550 century has 20 round mags. I was referring to the model of gun, it ships with the +2 20rd mags. I know the mags have been out. They are just stockers with mec gar +2 bases |

I'm curious about the compact as well, bringing in a G19 sized TP9SF or V2 would be a hot seller.
But I thought there was a minimum barrel length for pistols imported to the US? Century imported some Beretta 71s not too long ago, that's the .22lr pistol that was originally made with a 3.5" barrel and had a fake suppressor added to make the overall barrel length 9". I was told that the pistol with a 3.5" barrel was banned from import under the 1968 Gun Control Act. If the rumors of a US factory are true, that explains the upcoming compact, but how are they gonna make it as cheap? |

There is no minimum barrel length requirement. There's a minimum point requirement and the length of the barrel counts toward those points. But seeing as the Glock 26/27/33 & 43, the Walther PPS, Springfield XDm, etc. all meet the requirement, I'm sure this will too. |
Here is a link with the Century part number for it. Appears it is a 4.2" barrel  Should have been 3.9 or less though

Looks like it has ambi slide release and possibly ambi mag release. But it looks like European style mag release on the right side only. Looks a little long on the slide. Frame height looks good. Like it having 15 rounds |
