Canik TP9SF vs Glock 17 Gen5

By Cole Harlan, EditorUpdated Nov 5, 2026How we verifyEditorial standards

The biggest printed difference is capacity: the Century Arms store page lists the TP9SF at 18+1 (or 10+1), while Glock lists a standard 17 for the G17 Gen5. The weights are printed on different terms: 1.78 lbs “unloaded” for the TP9SF, and 22.22 oz without a magazine or 24.97 oz with an empty one for the G17. Barrels are close on paper (4.46″ and 4.49 inch). Every figure is copied from the pages linked below, checked November 5, 2026.

Like for like: Canik’s page prints “1.78 lbs. unloaded” and does not say whether the magazine is in the pistol, so we do not line it up against Glock’s without-magazine (22.22 oz) or empty-magazine (24.97 oz) figures, and we do not subtract. (1.78 lbs is 28.48 oz by our arithmetic; the page prints pounds only.) Glock’s height is “incl. Mag.”; Canik prints “Height” with no definition. Our Canik source is the Century Arms store page for the TP9SF, a dealer store that lists the Canik SKUs shown above, not a page on Canik’s own site. We read the standard TP9SF, not the TP9 Elite. Glock notes its technical data “are rounded and do not reflect tolerances.”

Which to pick (on paper)

If you want the larger printed capacity: the TP9SF lists 18+1 on its black and desert models; Glock lists a standard 17 with optional 19 / 24 / 31 / 33. The TP9SF page also lists 10+1 models.
If you want the shorter printed overall length: the TP9SF lists 7.5″ and Glock lists 202 mm (7.95 inch). Barrels are 4.46″ and 4.49 inch.
If you want the lighter printed weight: the two are not a clean pair. Canik says “unloaded”; Glock gives without-magazine and empty-magazine weights.
If you care about height: Canik prints 5.7″; Glock prints 5.47 inch including the magazine. Canik does not say what its height includes.
If you plan to mount a red dot: neither page we read states an optic cut for these models. Check the exact SKU with the maker before you buy a plate or optic.

We have not range-tested these; facts above are from the makers.
