JAKARTA - Turkish pistol manufacturer CANiK has again received the title of "Pistol of the Year" with its SFx RIVAL at the 2022 Industry Choice Awards (ICA), which is considered one of the most important awards of the weapons industry in the United States.

What makes the title even more special, this year marks the fourth time that CANiK has received the award in the last six years.

CANiK, one of the world's leading small arms manufacturers operating under Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS), previously received this award with the TP9 SFx in 2017, TP9 ELITE COMBAT in 2019 and TP9 ELITE SC in 2020.

General Manager of SYS C. Utku Aral, whose views are included in the company statement, stated that although the CANiK brand has grown from Turkey to the global market, it has proven its quality all over the world.

Stating, they continue to grow in the US, Aral said: "With our products, which are a reflection of our deep-rooted history and innovative face, we add qualified value not only to companies but also to the Turkish defense industry", reports Daily Sabah on June 30

"We offer users a better shooting experience with our products designed by our team of experts with long-term studies", said Aral.

"We see this prestigious award as a representation of the company's success in the most challenging arms market. With this award we have received, we will continue to represent the latest points we have achieved in R&D and innovation worldwide, while increasing our market share in the US", said Aral.

Please note, the Industry Choice Awards (ICA) of which no company is accepted as a member or sponsor, make evaluations of pistols mostly without the company's knowledge.

Judges buy weapons or accessories to evaluate from the shop, evaluate them, and announce the results. The jury, which represents all types of military, police, and civilian users in the firearms market, as well as gun shops, also considers distributor satisfaction to after-sales support of the product, in addition to market performance as an evaluation process.
