Going to pick up a Canik tonight (my first one), and I am SO TORN. Do I go with the SFX Rival or the Rival S? I will be using it for competition shoots as a beginner, as well.
I know the steel frame of the Rival S is preferred for more stable shooting/less recoil during comps - but I’m also seeing weighted options for the SFX Rival to help with its contrast in weight and recoil also (not sure if those options do make all the difference or not).
I also love to “trick” out my firearms that I own, and I’ve been seeing a bit more options for accessories and color for the SFX Rival as opposed to the Rival S also.
For reference I’m female, 5’4”, tiny ass hands, and also concerned with the fatigue of the rival S over time with its steel frame (if that’s something I should even be concerned about lol). Thanks everyone! 😊
