Canik SFx Rival-S 9mm 5″ 18-Round Stainless Steel Pistol with Rosewood Grip
The Canik SFx Rival-S takes the competition-oriented design of the SFx Rival and builds it around a substantial all-steel frame. Chambered in 9mm, the Rival-S combines increased weight, excellent balance and a performance-focused feature set with the distinctive appearance of a stainless/chrome finish and rosewood grip.
This configuration features a 5-inch barrel, 18-round capacity, optics-ready slide, adjustable rear sight, fiber-optic front sight and ambidextrous controls. At approximately 42.6 ounces with an empty 18-round magazine, the steel-frame Rival-S provides considerably more mass than Canik’s polymer-frame competition pistols.
Steel-Frame Rival Performance
The defining feature of the Canik SFx Rival-S is its steel-frame construction. The additional mass provides a solid, substantial feel in the hand and gives the Rival-S the balance and handling characteristics desired by many competitive and recreational shooters.
The sculpted frame incorporates textured gripping surfaces and ergonomic contours designed to provide positive control during extended range sessions and competition use.
Distinctive Rosewood Grip
This Rival-S configuration stands apart with its rosewood grip, adding a classic visual element to the modern competition pistol. The warm wood finish contrasts sharply with the stainless/chrome appearance of the steel frame and slide, creating one of the most distinctive configurations in the Rival-S lineup.
The grip maintains the full-size profile and ergonomic characteristics of the Rival-S while giving the pistol a premium appearance that separates it from standard competition-oriented finishes.
5-Inch Barrel
The Canik SFx Rival-S 9mm is equipped with a 5-inch barrel and uses a short-recoil, locked-breech operating system.
The full-size barrel and approximately 8.11-inch overall length provide the dimensions expected from a pistol developed with competition and precision range shooting in mind.
Optics-Ready Slide
The SFx Rival-S features a factory optics-ready slide designed to accept compatible electronic sights using Canik’s interchangeable optic interface system.
The Rival-S platform supports multiple optic interfaces, providing flexibility for shooters who prefer to configure the pistol with a compatible red dot sight.
Adjustable Competition Sights
For shooters who prefer traditional iron sights, the Canik SFx Rival-S comes equipped with a click-adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front sight.
The fiber-optic front provides a highly visible aiming reference, while the adjustable rear allows the sighting system to be tuned for the shooter’s preferred ammunition and point of impact.
Performance-Oriented Trigger
The Rival family was developed around competitive shooting, and the SFx Rival-S incorporates Canik’s performance-focused striker-fired trigger system with a flat-face trigger design.
The trigger, steel-frame construction, extended barrel and competition-oriented controls combine to give the Rival-S the performance character that distinguishes it from Canik’s more conventional duty and defensive pistol platforms.
18-Round Capacity
The Canik SFx Rival-S 9mm uses full-size 18-round magazines. Canik specifies the Rival-S with two 18-round magazines in its standard configuration.
An included flared magwell helps guide magazines into the grip during reloads and complements the pistol’s competition-focused design.
Ambidextrous and Adjustable Controls
The Rival-S incorporates an ambidextrous slide release along with a side-reversible and extendable magazine release. Multiple magazine-release extensions allow the control setup to be adapted to the shooter’s preference.
An integrated under-barrel accessory rail also provides mounting space for compatible lights and other rail-mounted accessories.
