The Canik SFx Rival-S delivers competition-grade performance with enhanced slide porting and optic-ready design for serious shooters demanding precision and speed. This full-size 9mm platform combines Turkish engineering excellence with features typically found on custom race guns.
What Makes This Different
The SFx Rival-S features slide porting that reduces muzzle flip by up to 15% compared to standard pistols, enabling faster follow-up shots. The optic-ready slide accepts most popular red dot sights without adapter plates, while the match-grade trigger breaks cleanly at 3.5 pounds. Premium rosewood grips provide superior texture and moisture management during extended shooting sessions.
