Canik TP9 sights & optics

Here you find the accessories and upgrades we have for sighting on the Canik TP9: optic plates and red dot mounts that put a red dot on your Canik TP9 and iron sights. Everything on this page is made for the Canik TP9, so you only need to pick the right group for your pistol.

Putting a red dot on your Canik TP9

• Optic plate: for a slide with a factory optic cut closed with a cover plate. The plate goes into the cut and takes the red dot. We have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints. See Optics ready plates for Canik TP9 Elite.
• Red dot mount: carries the red dot on a Canik TP9 without an optic cut. We have mounts for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, made by Outer Impact and Toni System. See Red dot mounts for Canik TP9 SF.

A plate fits only a slide with the optic cut, and a mount is for a Canik TP9 without it.

Choosing a plate or mount by footprint

Every plate and mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount that names it.

Sights for the Canik TP9

Our iron sights for the Canik TP9 come from Angry Bear and Night Fision. Sight pictures: blank, fiber optic and tritium. If you use a red dot, choose tall co-witness sights so you see them through the window. See Sights for Canik TP9.

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits a Canik TP9?

Red dots with the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, on the plate or mount for your pistol.

Can I install a plate at home?

Yes. A plate needs no gunsmith and no milling: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Can I change the sights on my Canik TP9 at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
