Canik Mete MC9!

Many of you know we are the source for Canik handgun information as we've spent substantial time with several of their models over the last several years. This inspired us to write the Canik Guide (updates obviously will be coming), and now we're happy to share the news of the micro compact...

The dimensions appear to be a sizable improvement over the TP9 Elite SC while still providing the same capacity. Looks like a worthy opponent to the options on the market.

I wonder if the 18rd magazines will fit it?
I like the 3" barrel but want a full size grip. Only way to get that at this time is with a Taurus g3x with 18rd P226 Mec Gar magazine and a sleeve.

If this will accept the 18rd Canik Tp9 magazines and I can get a sleeve it may become my new carry gun if it's as reliable and accurate and has the good trigger the rest of the Canik Tp9's have.

I am looking for the ideal IDPA BUG. This looks like it is in the running.

MSRP is $440 so I'm going to say will be able to pick them up for around $350-375

That's a bonus, but the cost is somewhat irrelevant. I want the biggest gun that will still fit inside the box. And of course the best shooting one which is somewhat subjective.

This one has my attention. Looks to be very similar in all dimensions to the Shield Plus, but with 12 round mags instead of 10 with the flush baseplate.

 

[venenoindy]

I will giving this a try.

I just got conformation from Canik USA that the Mete MC9 will be able to use the 18rd and 20rd magazines that the other Canik TP9 series pistols use.

So is the MC9 less like a Shield Plus and more like a Glock 26 maybe? I'd think that those mags are a pretty standard width for the normal double stack pistols that use them. Hard to tell from the pics, looking forward to handling one.

Unless they slimed up the grip it's probably going to be similar.
We'll have to wait and see once a few youtube reviews show up or they get to the lgs.

From this videos it looks like a slimmer grip.

 

[freedomenthusiast100]

Those look pretty sharp! I may have to try to pick one up used once they get into circulation.

This one has piqued my interest, so I'll give it a shot. In every way, it appears to be identical to the Shield Plus.

 

[zachcz]

Definitely one that im interested in. Any good option in the realm of micro 9s is good for us. To date the gx4 is my favorite as dumb as it sounds.

 

[DadSmith]

What has me interested is the ability to use the 18rd and 20rd magazines. Just need someone to make a magazine sleeve for the 18rd magazines and I'd have imo the perfect edc.
3" barrel, and full size grip.

The P365 XL/X and Macro series called, they want you to stop buying Turkish Walther clones and buy nice pistols. there I said it, if it's Turkish it belongs in the trash.

Canik pistols.

The Mete that WT mentioned is mine and I am very impressed with it. I fired a very good group with it. The trigger is fantastic as WT said.

That Turkish trash has won two USPSA titles in a row.

I’m very interested in this new micro 9. I’m in the process of finding a new edc to replace my Shield 2.0. The list of candidates just keeps growing!

Shield Plus OR
P365 X or XL
Hellcat Pro
Canik Mete MC 9

I watched about 2 hours of YouTube reviews on this new gun last night. I’m impressed.
