I created an indexing key that allows TLR-7’s and TLR-8’s to attach to the Canik MC9 frame.
A few notes:
- Your print settings and filament will determine whether or not this key is suitable for live fire.
- I can’t endorse any specific end product as suitable for duty/critical/EDC use.
- Determining whether or not this key suits your needs is up to you.
- Do not attempt to use this key with any lights or firearms not listed below.
In the event of key failure:
- Light may unexpectedly eject from the pistol during live fire
- Light-bearing holsters may function improperly/unsafely
All that said, this is designed to be as strong as possible, and preliminary shock testing results look promising.

Next, you’re probably wondering where you can find a holster for such a setup. At Werkz, we’ve tossed around the idea of making them, but we’re looking to gauge interest – is this something you guys would like to run? Let me know down below.
