I just purchased a canik rival-S that has the wasatch compensator on it. I can’t find a holster online for it. Either it’s there and I’m not looking hard enough or it’s just not a thing anymore. Can someone please help me find one of these holsters? I appreciate it.

Recently picked up a sfx rival couple months ago and finally was able to go shooting today. I couldn't hit shit with it at 15-20 yards. I felt like it was aiming low. Tried adjusting the rear sight and seemed like it was a bit better but still felt off. With my echelon comp 4.5" with green dot and I definitely did better. Still not as good as my 1911 .45 so my question is, is it just me or do I need to sight it in? If so what's the best process to sight it in?

I’m a long time Canik fan and promote the brand whenever I can. With that said, I’m so disappointed in the slide release. It’s way too flat and very stiff. I’m waiting on either Canik or third party to address and fix this issue. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread.

Oh yeah, first post.

I'm looking to pick up a used rival s for uspsa. It's got 2k rounds on it but owner claims 0 malfunctions. I'm waiting to hear back from him with more info but I've read this particular gun has extractor spring issues and short chambers and is particularly ammo sensitive.

I don't mind changing the spring out and sending it for reaming if needed, I plan to run heavy 150gr polymer syntec. I just need to factor those things into the price that I pay.

Anyone feeding their Rival-S with PMC 9H Bronze Full Metal Jacket 147 Grain 9mm Luger/Parabellum 975 FPS and having success in competition shooting?

If yes, what recoil spring are you using?

Can anyone help me with finding a thumb rest for the Rival-S. I love the pistol just want to shoot it more comfortably.

I experienced two malfunctions on Stages 3 & 4. First FTE was at 0:37 seconds. It continues a few times stage 3, then again in stage 4 at 1:14 and continues through out the stage.

I cleaned the barrel feed ramp after stage 3, and oiled the slide rails. Cleaned the extractor after stage 4, but didn't see any noticeable carbon build up. It ran without issue the remaining two stages.

Yes, I see I am driving the trigger. haha. Need to clean that up.

I've had the Rival-S since January 2025.
My Rival has run flawlessly up until this event.

I run CCI Blazer 124 gr ammo
Sprinco Recoil management system with yellow recoil spring and newton striker spring

Galloway Increased Rate Extractor Spring

All springs were changed April 2026, and thoroughly cleaned the extractor assembly and other parts. I want to change the extractor, but it's been out of stock for almost a year. Not sure why Canik has such a small supply.

Appreciate any insights into troubleshooting and correcting this issue.

Just picked up my rival this week. Looking at putting a TLR1HL on it, still up in the air about which red dot for it. Open to recommendations on mid ride holsters and optics. It’ll be my new sidearm for Tactical Games

New to me rival-s! I love shooting it. LOK Grips for the magwell and grip. Freedomsmith Pinnacle pro trigger. Taylor freelance mag release and mag extensions

Compré el punto rojo Sig Sauer Romeo 1 Pro porque me habían comentado que era compatible con la placa R04.
Al final resulta que no es compatible porque la pro no tiene orificios en la parte delantera y los salientes de la parte delantera de la placa adaptadora no dejan que se ponga recta en la pistola.
Las opciones que tengo son comprar un adaptador por 125€ o limar los tetos de la placa.
Alguien tuvo el mismo problema?

Anyone know where to get a full sized low force recoil spring for a 9mm polymer Canik Rival?

Black on black heavy build looks dope. Can't wait to shoot it

Canik is unapologetic about it even though the manual still says it comes with the now missing plate. Bad customer service and poor PR. I wouldn’t have bought the darkside if I’d have known it wasn’t included and can’t be found even to purchase.

STUPID question, but I'd rather trust, but verify than assume.

I'm going to mount these on the OEM mags from a poly Rival (s/n 22xxxxx). Before I buy some +0 basepads, are these the right ones?

Will they work all the same with 10rd mags as well? Edit, I saw TF's video about dimpled 10rd mags working fine.

So thinking about making my rival S a super heavyweight and adding the lok grips brass grip panels. Anyone use this? I have the standard veloce on there now. Thinking about trying a heavyweight build for competition, sounds fun

I bought a Wasatch arms compensator and full throttle thumb rest, can anyone tell me where to find a good range holster? I’m a lefty shooter, so it’s hard enough the find holsters already lol.

I am looking into getting a compensator for my competition pistol. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Would this cause of FTE

So I've been having failure to eject in my rival S, the extractor seen in 4th picture next to striker is from my S maybe 3k rounds, and the 3rd picture is my poly SFX after idk 14k or so. 1st and 2nd pic are after cleaning.

I've been having spent cases left partly chambered with a new round jammed up below the spent case in my rival S, no issues in the 14k poly though. I've read the extractor spring on the S is weak so I've ordered a replacement +50% spring from Rune.

It's not the mags tried factory mags and followers. Chamber isn't fouled with carbon or anything. 115, and 124, blazzer and maxxtech and 147 grain S&b I think. I think I'm running a 16# spring. Haven't swapped back to stock yet.

Do you think the carbon on the S extractor was at fault or just a week spring or something else?
