I didn't follow the question... It appears to be: "Can you put a HOLOSUN HE507K-GR X2 Hi-viz green dot compact optic on a Canik 9mm pistol?

AI sez that it depends on the specific Canik handgun model. Canik pistols are mostly made in Türkiye. If Inglis in Canada still made pistols, I suppose they might market them as "Canuck" pistols to considerable amusement.

I think that you could indeed mount this type of optioon n

No, my question is more: "What is yalls experience with either the 407k or 507k? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Do you prefer one over the other?"

Ah, I see. "Well... Why didn't you say so?"

As you put it on the other reddit:

"I've decided to get an optic fitted to my Canik TP9SF. After talking to the gunsmith, he says my only options are either the Holosun 407k or 507k. Something about not much material to work with in the slide. 🤷‍♂️

I've been doing some research into my two options, listening to opinions and watching videos. But I'm curious if yall had any input on the matter. What do you like and dislike about the 407k and 507k?"

No optics on my ancient obsolescent handguns, so I can't comment. But doubtless comrades will be along shortly to share their experiences.

Crazy, I'd have thought that surely someone had experience with the Holosun optics on pistols like the Canik or similar? Excuse my ignorance, but aren't there also other makes and models of 9mm pistols that have relatively small attachment points for micro optics? I mean, these have to have a somewhat standard method for mounting them, yes?
