Ammo Performance for Canik Pistols

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).
 
Well right now this new Canik isn't printing anything close to your efforts. Still shoots low and left. Very frustrating!
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.
 
"Caniks are designed to run 124gr NATO rounds which are heavier and hotter than the standard 115gr target round you find on shelves the most."

Do you agree with this statement?
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.

The issue with this model Canik it has fixed sights. :confused:

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.
 
I’m not into the NATO spec ammo, I just use regular 115, 124gr ammo, personally don’t see the need for the NATO stuff

You can still tap the rear sight one way or the other to adjust for windage.
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?
