August 13, 2020 Delray Beach, Fla. – (August 13, 2020) – Canik is proud to once again support the slogan of “Superior Handguns” with yet another recognition as the ICA (Industry Choice Awards) Concealed Carry Pistol of the Year with the TP9 Elite SC! The TP9 Elite Subcompact (SC) is a concealable, lightweight, reliable, double stacked, striker fired polymer pistol. This pistol comes chambered in 9mm and features a 12 round standard capacity while still being easily concealed at an impressive 1.45” width and 6.70” overall length. This pistol capitalizes on all of the amazing features the Canik brand has become known for while adapting to the needs of the discreet firearms owner. “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,” said Adam Ruonala, Canik USA’s National Director of Marketing. “This firearm was designed with the sole intent of being an everyday carry for everyone who wants the peace of mind in knowing the capacity and functionality of the pistol is top of the line. The fact that it was selected over other industry heavyweights as the best of the field in such an innovative year for concealed carry is truly an honor we don’t take lightly!” The 3.60” barrel is the optimal length designated by Canik’s trusted engineers to ensure top tier accuracy out of the 4.60” tall TP9 Elite SC. The weight comes in at a minuscule 24.78 ounces which results in an effortless carry. The nickel coated internals result it the smooth functionality that the Canik line has become internationally known for. The features of the TP9 Elite SC far exceed the basic standards of a subcompact. The firearm comes in a number of durable and sleek finishes, optics ready slide mount allowing co-witness with iron sights, a loaded chamber indicator, ambidextrous slide release, reversible magazine release, white dot front sight and black out rear sight for easy low light target acquisition.

Every pistol also comes standard with the new subcompact holster which has the ability to mount for an inside or outside the waistband carry. Each pistol comes with a 12 and 15 round magazine.

January 29, 2019 Century Arms, North America’s premier AK manufacturer, is excited to announce availability of newly manufactured models of the highly sought after AES10B 7.62x39mm and PSL 7.62x54R rifles from Romania. The AES10B is modeled after the Romanian version of the RPK, features a heavy barrel profile, RPK bipod, clubfoot stock, and will ship with a 30-round magazine. The PSL is also modeled after the RPK rifle, but in the 7.62x54R cartridge and paired with a new Russian PO4x24 optic. “We haven’t brought in the AES10B or PSL rifles in many years. AES10B availability has dried up due to a lack of the parts kits used to build them and surplus PSL rifles are being sent to other parts of the world before we are able to acquire them,” said William Sucher, the company’s Vice President of Business Development. “We have continued to look for a solution for the American market due to the high demand for these models even though the days of low-priced surplus options are long gone. After reviewing all options and working with the manufacturer, we were able to acquire and bring in small quantities of these as newly manufactured rifles, albeit at a higher price, but still uniquely rare and desirable.” Century Arms will have a limited quantity of these newly manufactured rifles and have sold out of the initial shipments. If you are a dealer please contact your local distributor to acquire an AES10B or PSL rifle while supplies last. READ MORE |
