Please expound on the term 'over sprung".Definitely over sprung from the factory. You'll want hotter factory loads.
Galloway Precision offers a replacement spring set for it in a variety of weights.

Point taken.
Well right now this new Canik isn't printing anything close to your efforts. Still shoots low and left. Very frustrating!

Too heavy a spring, heavy spring pressure. takes more to push it back. light loaded ammo not able to push it back far enough.
My Canik Rival has fired everything I fed it since new, and not one round to date has been the "NATO" load. Had a few hiccups in the first hundred rounds...but far less than my Ronin during break-in. My Rival even likes the crappy aftermarket magazine I bought (against the advice of everyone here).
The gun has no problem cycling.

I hate to say it but 95% of the time you find the solution to that in the mirror.

At the ranges we typically shoot the difference in weight of bullets is negligible in terms of accuracy. Shooting low left is common for right hand shooters due to the body mechanics involved. I have seen it hundreds of times in my courses. Try shooting from a rest at 5 yards and see what you get. If you get a tight group off to the right or left a simple sight adjustment may solve the POI. If you are dead on from the rest, look at your grip and trigger management. Adjusting grip and trigger management might clear up your frustration.

Not really, I run mostly standard 115gr ammo thru my Caniks and I've never had any issues. I also have thousands of rounds thru them.

As has been mentioned by you, in your op, and others, they have a heavy spring rate for NATO spec ammunition.
I have 2 of the original SFx and both have W74 tungsten guide rods and 14# springs. The factory spring is just a tad over 19#.
The issue with this model Canik it has fixed sights.

You can still tap the rear sight one way or the other to adjust for windage.The issue with this model Canik it has fixed sights.

If you don't have a sight pusher, I suggest you get a brass punch and hammer to adjust the rear sight. It should drift right or left in the dovetail. If there is a set screw loosen it. Drift the sight in the direction you want the POI to go in very small increments. Don't mess with the front sight. Don't do any of that until you have shot a few groups from a bench rest to rule out shooter induced deflection.The issue with this model Canik it has fixed sights.

Shooting low and left is you the shooter not the gun. You are jerking the trigger. Look into shooting low and left on internet.

The Warner rear sight is anchored with a screw to the slide. Yes, it's dovetailed and an extremely tight fit, but in order to adjust for windage the screw would no longer serve a purpose. Does that sound kosher?

Loosen the screw tap sight over and retighten it.
