Can a Turkish delight really earn the combat master's mark?

I should not like the Canik Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) Combat pistol featured in this review. Based on experience, I have a strong preference for duty-proven platforms. I believe ountry of origin matters, and I’ve seen a direct correlation between “Gucci” go-fast modifications and on-range malfunctions. In defiance of my predilections, the Canik TTI Combat pistol is a Turkish-made, polymer-frame, striker-fired semiautomatic covered in slide serrations and lightening cuts. Already a full-size handgun, it’s made longer by a compensator meant to tame, I suppose, the terrifying recoil of its 9mm chambering. The only “combat” this gun has seen appears to be a wrestling match with a woodchipper, and a dull gold paint job completes its aspiring artist aesthetic. The gun’s got “drip,” I’ll give it that, but one look at the pistol had me preparing to “tap-rack” a lot.
I should not like the Canik TTI Combat. And yet, I sort of love it.
