My Case broke second time I opened it!!! Shout out to Canik, I emailed and they sent me a brand new case with all accessories and holster!!!! AWESOME SUPPORT!!
Here is something to consider when contemplating the MC9; unlike most micros on the market that have proprietary magazines that are stack and a half, the MC9 accepts the full size double stack magazines. So 18 round Mete mags will work as long as you do not slam it up in there. This has to be one of the most impressive feats of engineering in a micro compact. Great video Sootch, thank you.
the micro compact magazine is the defining factor of what makes a gun a micro compact. this is closer to a g26 , actually it appears to have a larger grip according to handgun hero
@@teamskdm1 according to the specs data, at its widest point it is 1.18" wide which makes it the exact size of the Shield plus width wise. So while it may not be in the sub 1" territory of the Sig 365 it is still considerably smaller than its big brother TP9 variants. I was at a local shop earlier in the week that has a rental range and has an excessive inventory of Canik pistols in every model configuration, and one of the instructors told me the Canik rep was there 2 weeks ago and brought a demo MC9 that they all got a chance to shoot around with. He told me it is significantly thinner than the larger Caniks and that if anything it was a mm or two more girth than the Shield plus and Hellcat Pro. He told me that it was by far the best micro 9 he has shot to date, that it was surprisingly less snappy than many of the others, and had the best trigger hands down. That is pretty bold and rather shocking given that it only has a 3" barrel. I was told they should start arriving on the shelves mid April, early May so I reserved one. Now it trying to stay patient until it arrives.
@@tonyrogo227 do you know the specs for the rest of the micro market? The Sig 365xl, Hellcat Pro, Gx4 are all 1.0"; the Shield Plus, Glock43x, Canik MC9, and Mossberg MC2 are all 1.1". The Glock 26 overall width is 1.26", the M&P compact is 1.16" so are any of the micro compact really that much smaller than its bigger siblings? The answer is no not really. The p365 however is because the P320 is 1.4" wide which is almost a half inch difference. If you are going to squabble over 2 to 8 hundredths of an inch, IMO, the everyone has become petty as hell because you would need a micrometer to even measure that accurately.. Just saying.
I have heard nothing but GOOD about Caniks. At the rate they're going; they're building a solid reputation akin to Glock. I would definately recommend based on the experiences of trusted sources.
@jacobdoolan4978 I have 3 Canik's with over a thousand rounds through each one. Never had any problems with either one. I just picked up the Mete MC9 few days ago and sure it's going to be great
I’ve been obsessed with my SC Elite since day one. $400 and shoots like guns twice the price. Can’t decide if I want this one or still get a 365 like originally planned. Scared it’s not much smaller
@@DaseggMQB Look up Handgun Hero, it’s a size comparison website. Also I think the pros vs cons lean in favor of the Canik. Unless you want to spend $1,100 on a 365xl Spectre Comp or $700 on an XMacro the MC9 is a very good option.
@@Sklounst_Actual Actually a website tested it at 5.25 pounds and another youtuber said it was close to 5.5 pounds after he broke it in so I don't know what to believe.

In fact, the initial trigger take-up seems much longer than on my Glock. I agree with Sootch this isn’t as good as the usual Canik trigger.
You are one of the best weapon review channels on this platform. As a Turk 🇹🇷 I love when you test Turkish weapons and talk about them. Obviously there are a lot of other reviews but i was just wondering about your thoughts. Take care of yourself !
@@KorayErkin sevgili dostum evet üstte Canik yazıyor ancak ithalatçının ismi niye var yanında? Başka hiçbir markada bunu göremezsin. Örneğin Nike pabucunun üzerinde Türkiye ithalatçısı Toksöz spor Mlz. A.Ş yazısını göremezsin. Canik de kendi sektöründe dünya markası. Sadece adı ve üretim yeri kafi değil mi sanki başka bir ülke şemsiyesi altına giriyor?
Finally picked one of these up and most say, shoots great and accurate. I have shot a lot of Micro 9's and this by far is one of if not the best I have shot. I carry a CR920 which I love but I must say, this firearm is going to give my SS CR920 a run for its money for my EDC.
I’ve grown to love Canik guns I got the original SFX like 4-5 years ago and I’ve bought 2 more Canik’s sense.I’ll definitely be picking this one up,I know the trigger is going to be way better than 99% of Cary guns.the only thing I don’t like is the extended mag isn’t flush with the back of the frame,wish the plastic would fill that gap.hopefully someone out there offers a fix,my Elite carry has the same deal
They have another great pistol coming out of Turkey called the Sarsilmaz SAR9 and it's a sweet looking pistol!!! Turkey integrated the lower from the Walther P99 and they have really added onto the trigger and they have integrated their own parts as they get more experience with manufacturing these pistols!!!
So many great guns since Sig came out with the P365. Can't buy them all, but sure is nice to see competition! You do a great job. I'm waiting to buy the next great thing.
I came thinking in would see just another 9mm compact. I am a bit shocked. The minimum recoil and the muzzle control ability is fantastic. Well, guess that's another one to add to my collection. Thanks for the excellent coverage Sootch!
Canik is an Excellent firearm company! 💪 they have a Great intuition when it comes to just knowing what customers want. They're a company that provides a fantastic value to their customers. Not to mention their Pistols have awesome triggers.
Bought mine Friday last and took it to the range Saturday afternoon to sight it in. Mine required drifting the rear sight to the right to zero it. Then I shot it at 24 yards from sand bags and 10 yards and 7 yards using two hands. Accuracy was impressive and reliability 100%. It did, however, shoot low and I haven't decided how I'm going to correct that. For the moment it can easily be aimed a bit high. So far I'm very positively impressed but it's not my first Canik and so it comes as no surprise that it's a fine handgun.
If I didn’t already have a P365 as my daily carry, I’d be seriously eyeballing this one. I don’t own a Canik, but I’ve shot a few and was extremely impressed. A buddy just picked up a Rival S, and I can’t wait to try it. My next pistol will probably be one of the Rivals to use as my IDPA comp gun.
I have the 365xl. Iv been shooting canik for a while now.....always said if canik makes a micro 9 I will retire or sell the 365xl. The trigger and reliability iv had with the canik.....also the fact that it literally will shoot anything and the 365xl is a very picky eater.....especially when prices and inflation is so high I need range time for cheap.
Been waiting for you to review this gun! Mine is already on order. I currently have a Sig P365 but I really like Canik. Thanks for the time you put into your videos.
Hurley Welding and Woodworks sold me a super nice 3d printer rubber ext plate that takes up the gap behind the mag. Feels great and makes this gun AWESOME!!! Look them up
Great review, Sootch. Every time im interested in another firearm i cannot find reviews as good as yours. Ive got plenty based off your very detailed and honest videos. The 18rd TP9SF FDE was my last Canik purchase. I really like the MC9 as well. Might be my next. God bless you and your family. Hello from western NM brother.
I want one really bad. I heard their USA factory is going to be running this summer so I'm trying to decide if I want to wait a few extra months for an American version. Maybe I'm being too picky though lol.
Glad that people are starting to warm up to Canik, before a lot of RUclipsrs didn't like em just because they were Turkish but everyone is starting to see the value they offer per dollar you spend
I have long wondered that with micro nines, where the objective seems to be to cram as many rounds in as possible that manufacturers do not offer a .30 Super Carry option as well. From what I have gathered, apart from the extra capacity, ballistics are almost up there with the 9mm and slide pull is lighter which will aid those shooters with reduced hand strength.
They will be coming along soon, it's just not a commonly known round yet but I think it's going to eventually take over and replace everything in the .380 market along with that portion of the 9mm market that you described.
shield plus has a .30 super carry option and imo is the best micro on the market so far ( not sure against the mc9 as ive not shot one YET hopefully soon)
I have a Mete SFX and I wouldn't want the trigger from it in a carry gun, that thing is FAST. The slightly heavier trigger isn't a bad thing at all here. I am considering selling my Sig 365XL for one of these. My Mete SFX is my favorite semi auto that I own.
I stopped in at an old antique store/pawn shop in Georgia. I walked in and immediately saw the gun counter, and they had the METE MC 9 on display brand new. For it, they charged me $420. Didn’t even have to pay full price for it, and its a great gun!
I just want to say congratulation on another great review. I always look for your reviews before I buy a gun so guess what?, my MC9 is already on order. Your reviews are precise and cover all the topics we as gun owners-users want to hear. Great job sootch00!!!
I installed the largest backstrap as my hands are bigger than most. I have a superbly accurate, easy to shoot, easy to fieldstrip and clean, easy to carry, reliable CCW. 2000 rounds without a single malfunction. I like the factory holster, however, I am 192 cm tall and weigh 100 KG, so my body can hide it in comfort.
When did yours come out of the factory? I am asking because I have ordered one. I want to know if the early kinks have been ironed out. I picked this over the P365, becuase I have shot a few of those and I don’t really like them. I did shoot a TP9 SC once and it was a fantastic gun.
my EDC is a G43X MOS. i bought the Canik TP9 Elite SC because i liked the way it looked. i shoot the Canik way better than my G43. now i want the Mete. picking one up tomorrow if Bass pro is open
I have the MC9 and the Rival, I haven't had any issues with the MC9 or the Rival but I don't really have enough ammo through the MC9 to know for sure it doesn't have the out-of-battery issue that some MC9 owners are complaining about. So far it's been a great shooting gun. The trigger is really good on these Caniks.
Thanks for the great video and explanation. When I looked at this type of pistol, I observed that the features and prices were close to each other, and the ones with high prices were definitely original designs. I come from the spirit of the 1955s. I say my name is Bond, James Bond, on pistols of this size.
I just bought mine yesterday and can't wait to get it on the range. I have heard so many people say the trigger on it is awesome and all and so can't wait. I'm left handed so I guess I'm gonna have to wait for holsters to come out for it. But if it shoots and all like I think it will this will def be in my carry rotation.
Great video. I have been pocket carrying the P365 for a while however I have found that "micro" 9s print in shorts partially due to width but also due to weight when loaded to 10+1. I have considered IWB however if I were to do that I might as well carry my CZ P01 which I prefer over any micro 9. Currently I am in the process of going back to pocket carrying a single stack 9 in the summer. It is about .1 to .2 of an inch thinner than the P365. Being thinner and having less weight of the extra ammo makes a single stack 9 a better choice for me in the summer. I carry an extra loaded magazine in another pocket.
I have a P-01 too, as well as a Springfield Hellcat that I do pocket carry. Funny how they both have pretty much the same sized barrel but the p-01 seems so much more capable. When I need less print (summer, funerals, weddings, etc.) I go with the LCPll. That thing vanishes, and beats the heck out of a harsh word or a pointy stick. My current winter carry is along the same line, Springfield xd-s mod 2 45, IWB. It's basically a blend of the Hellcat's size and the LCP's capacity- single stacked and need to carry an extra mag. But it's a 45.
@@natjonestower3035 I used to carry the LCP II and did so for many years. It’s a great deep carry option that I still carry in situations like you described.
Thanks Scott! It's good to have choices because of different situations. I carry the LCP Max for deep concealment and it's only slightly wider in the grip than the LCP II, which I carried for years.
When Canik first came out, I thought their guns were junk- but I have seen so much good on reviews and features of these guns it ALMOST makes me want one...
@@Catgat37 Yeah Walthers are definitely higher quality but unfortunately they won't release a solid high capacity micro pistol. I'm going to buy this canik mc9 but I'm going to automatically assume before I pick it up that it might have slide coating defects and possibly minor flaws. For some reason I can imagine canik sending out a firearm even if it had a couple scratches on it or something. Maybe I'm wrong though 🤷♂️.
@@Shenmue06 there is rumors of a PPS M3 in the works that may be 12+1. I might get the MC9 at one point. I had a whitewash battleworn mete sft on layaway. Talked my wife into letting me get a Q4 SF if I let her have the Canik. Been going down a rabbit hole of buying Walthers since. My wife wants to get more Caniks after I get a decent Walther collection squared away. I am very interested in seeing a Rival S in person.
Thanks for this review Sootch00! I just paid for my 2-tone CANIK METE MC9 today! It's on backorder, but it'll be a great upgrade from my old ccw: Taurus Millennium G2!!!
I'm an appendix carrier beside P336 I haven't found anything better yet. I might check one out. Thanks for uploading the video. It's not available yet in the U.S.
I just purchased this as my second carry option (other is Glock 43). Watching this I appreciate my purchase even more and look forward to taking this to the range. Your knowledge and review is excellent. New subscriber here!
By then they'll probably have a xl version with a flat faced trigger. I honestly doubt this is going to drop down in price as fast as some of the others. I heard that their building an American factory so if anything the prices might go up.... I could be wrong though..
Looks like they made it work by using a steel/metal sear housing assembly vs plastic which is used on all other models. Ensures frame maintains its integrity and rigidity since they shaved off so much polymer to reduce the width.
idk it seems more like G26 sized than P365 or Hellcat sized to me. Actually just checked on handgun hero it is pretty much exactly G26 with a 12rd mag size and weight in all dimensions, just with a slightly shorter barrel which doesn't mean a whole lot here. Canik really should come out with a whole new model on new tooling that trims the fat off this guy, really get it down to P365 size but hopefully with an extra round or two like the Hellcat did and keeping the same excellent trigger Caniks are known for. If they could even make a DA/SA version like the full sized TP9's/Walther P99 that would be almost a guaranteed buy from me to replace my Hellcat. As it is though all I'd be getting from it is a better trigger in exchange for less concealability and more weight, maybe a little less muzzle jump but not enough for me to care since the Hellcat ain't half bad for it's size anyway. I like the fact I can rock the Hellcat with the flush mag under basketball shorts in the summer and that I can easily stash it with the whole holster along with the spare mag into my coat pocket in colder months if I don't want to carry my full sized Beretta, it's just so convenient as a tiny little hooker pistol over anything even remotely bigger.
Just grabbed this mc9! Shot about 70 rounds so far day 1 between the 12, 15, and 18 rnd mags 😅 first time at 7y nice fist size groupings! I made a target out of Horse Stall mats(can grab at tractpr supply for $40ish and cut in some grooves, and just spray paint over the bullet holes.

Finally picked one of these up and most say, shoots great and accurate. I have shot a lot of Micro 9's and this by far is one of if not the best I have shot. I carry a CR920 which I love but I must say, this firearm is going to give my SS CR920 a run for its money for my EDC.
You can put a 20round mag from the full size ,. First micro with that mag versatility
And with the Masada Slim you can use a CZ 75 drum or any of the other capacity count mags for the CZ. So not quite the first.
Much less muzzle rise than I expected! Wow!
I’ve grown to love Canik guns I got the original SFX like 4-5 years ago and I’ve bought 2 more Canik’s sense.I’ll definitely be picking this one up,I know the trigger is going to be way better than 99% of Cary guns.the only thing I don’t like is the extended mag isn’t flush with the back of the frame,wish the plastic would fill that gap.hopefully someone out there offers a fix,my Elite carry has the same deal
Could you tell us where we can buy this gun?
They have another great pistol coming out of Turkey called the Sarsilmaz SAR9 and it's a sweet looking pistol!!! Turkey integrated the lower from the Walther P99 and they have really added onto the trigger and they have integrated their own parts as they get more experience with manufacturing these pistols!!!
sar9 sc far far better then canik
Canik the new glock but better. Actually listens to customers wants.
Literally nothing like Glock. Not overpriced or outdated.
So many great guns since Sig came out with the P365. Can't buy them all, but sure is nice to see competition! You do a great job. I'm waiting to buy the next great thing.
This is it. Canik for the win
Yes you can. Just don’t tell your wife.
HK is coming out with one soon too
Selling the 365xl or putting it in the safe.....canik is the way to go.
The two pistols I am looking at for concealed carry are; Canik Mete mc9 or the IWI Masada Slim 9s.
Same here. I still use my shield 1.0 for when I need a small gun, but I’m looking at the same 2 as you. I can’t decide lol
I came thinking in would see just another 9mm compact. I am a bit shocked. The minimum recoil and the muzzle control ability is fantastic. Well, guess that's another one to add to my collection. Thanks for the excellent coverage Sootch!
You can tell that by watching a video?
@@tonyrogo227 Yes
Canik is an Excellent firearm company! 💪 they have a Great intuition when it comes to just knowing what customers want. They're a company that provides a fantastic value to their customers. Not to mention their Pistols have awesome triggers.
Bought mine Friday last and took it to the range Saturday afternoon to sight it in. Mine required drifting the rear sight to the right to zero it. Then I shot it at 24 yards from sand bags and 10 yards and 7 yards using two hands. Accuracy was impressive and reliability 100%. It did, however, shoot low and I haven't decided how I'm going to correct that. For the moment it can easily be aimed a bit high. So far I'm very positively impressed but it's not my first Canik and so it comes as no surprise that it's a fine handgun.
If I didn’t already have a P365 as my daily carry, I’d be seriously eyeballing this one. I don’t own a Canik, but I’ve shot a few and was extremely impressed. A buddy just picked up a Rival S, and I can’t wait to try it. My next pistol will probably be one of the Rivals to use as my IDPA comp gun.
I'm going to buy the canik mc9 and sell my p365. I don't shoot the p365 very well so it's actually dangerous for me to carry it.
I have the 365xl. Iv been shooting canik for a while now.....always said if canik makes a micro 9 I will retire or sell the 365xl. The trigger and reliability iv had with the canik.....also the fact that it literally will shoot anything and the 365xl is a very picky eater.....especially when prices and inflation is so high I need range time for cheap.
Been waiting for you to review this gun! Mine is already on order. I currently have a Sig P365 but I really like Canik. Thanks for the time you put into your videos.
Thanks for stopping by John and hope you enjoy your new MC9. It's solid!
Been watching your videos for well over a decade, appreciate it. 👍
Brought it home today!!! Changed back strap and put ext finger mag plate on, oiled it up, new urbany carry lock leather holster!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Hurley Welding and Woodworks sold me a super nice 3d printer rubber ext plate that takes up the gap behind the mag. Feels great and makes this gun AWESOME!!! Look them up
Yea I’m grabbing one asap
Canik is always the way to go. Never disappointing
Great review, Sootch. Every time im interested in another firearm i cannot find reviews as good as yours. Ive got plenty based off your very detailed and honest videos. The 18rd TP9SF FDE was my last Canik purchase. I really like the MC9 as well. Might be my next. God bless you and your family. Hello from western NM brother.
I'm very impressed with what Canik has to offer. I have to get this gun!
I have 2 Caniks now… might be time for a third. They REALLY are good.
Already put my name on the list for one at my local shop. Can’t wait to get a matching two tone little brother to my Mete SFX haha.
I want one really bad. I heard their USA factory is going to be running this summer so I'm trying to decide if I want to wait a few extra months for an American version. Maybe I'm being too picky though lol.
@@Shenmue06 I’m sure the quality will be the same for both versions.
Very nice video, hi from Turkey. Canik is one of the best Turkish gun brand 🇹🇷
Glad that people are starting to warm up to Canik, before a lot of RUclipsrs didn't like em just because they were Turkish but everyone is starting to see the value they offer per dollar you spend
The tiny tool kit gun sold me. I need this now.
I have long wondered that with micro nines, where the objective seems to be to cram as many rounds in as possible that manufacturers do not offer a .30 Super Carry option as well. From what I have gathered, apart from the extra capacity, ballistics are almost up there with the 9mm and slide pull is lighter which will aid those shooters with reduced hand strength.
They will be coming along soon, it's just not a commonly known round yet but I think it's going to eventually take over and replace everything in the .380 market along with that portion of the 9mm market that you described.
New 16 round Glock in 30 super
shield plus has a .30 super carry option and imo is the best micro on the market so far ( not sure against the mc9 as ive not shot one YET hopefully soon)
Excellent review, Sootch! Nice side by side comparisons! I’m definitely getting the two-tone as soon as I get my hands on one!
Thanks Abbas! It's a sweet carry option!
I have a Mete SFX and I wouldn't want the trigger from it in a carry gun, that thing is FAST. The slightly heavier trigger isn't a bad thing at all here. I am considering selling my Sig 365XL for one of these. My Mete SFX is my favorite semi auto that I own.
Man that case! I don't see anybody beating the deal at the moment 👍
Yep, Canik has a gun that is built like a tank, reliability like a AK. Optic plate. Awesome case, grabbed one myself.
Yeah, I want one.👍👍
I stopped in at an old antique store/pawn shop in Georgia. I walked in and immediately saw the gun counter, and they had the METE MC 9 on display brand new. For it, they charged me $420. Didn’t even have to pay full price for it, and its a great gun!
I just want to say congratulation on another great review. I always look for your reviews before I buy a gun so guess what?, my MC9 is already on order. Your reviews are precise and cover all the topics we as gun owners-users want to hear. Great job sootch00!!!
Any idea when it's coming in? I'm interested in picking one up, too.
My next EDC!
I installed the largest backstrap as my hands are bigger than most. I have a superbly accurate, easy to shoot, easy to fieldstrip and clean, easy to carry, reliable CCW. 2000 rounds without a single malfunction. I like the factory holster, however, I am 192 cm tall and weigh 100 KG, so my body can hide it in comfort.
When did yours come out of the factory? I am asking because I have ordered one. I want to know if the early kinks have been ironed out. I picked this over the P365, becuase I have shot a few of those and I don’t really like them. I did shoot a TP9 SC once and it was a fantastic gun.
Hard to beat the value of a canik!!!!!
my EDC is a G43X MOS. i bought the Canik TP9 Elite SC because i liked the way it looked. i shoot the Canik way better than my G43. now i want the Mete. picking one up tomorrow if Bass pro is open
I have the MC9 and the Rival, I haven't had any issues with the MC9 or the Rival but I don't really have enough ammo through the MC9 to know for sure it doesn't have the out-of-battery issue that some MC9 owners are complaining about. So far it's been a great shooting gun. The trigger is really good on these Caniks.
I say the Canik MC9 and the Masada slim are the new breed of micro compacts . Caniks are not budget , the competition are expensive .
How are they the new breed? The P365 and Hellcat are still a thing, and the guns you named don't bring anything new to the table.
Only thing 365 and hellcat have over the MC9 is being easier to keister. That's it. MC9 wins for me.
Thanks for the great video and explanation. When I looked at this type of pistol, I observed that the features and prices were close to each other, and the ones with high prices were definitely original designs. I come from the spirit of the 1955s. I say my name is Bond, James Bond, on pistols of this size.
Ever since I heard about this new Mete MC9 coming out of Shot Show, I’ve been trying to decide if it’s worth still keeping my TP9SC
I’ll keep my SC for winter carry but I had the same question. This MC9 I hope is my next summer carry.
Obviously a capable little pistol, but still leaning towards the IWI Masada slim !!
It's my favorite ccw. I like it better than the p365, kimber r7, shield plus, and Glock anything. Returns to same position instead of kicking around.
I just bought mine yesterday and can't wait to get it on the range. I have heard so many people say the trigger on it is awesome and all and so can't wait. I'm left handed so I guess I'm gonna have to wait for holsters to come out for it. But if it shoots and all like I think it will this will def be in my carry rotation.
Canik and Walther triggers are a bit over rated imo so don’t get your expectations to too high.
Great video. I have been pocket carrying the P365 for a while however I have found that "micro" 9s print in shorts partially due to width but also due to weight when loaded to 10+1. I have considered IWB however if I were to do that I might as well carry my CZ P01 which I prefer over any micro 9. Currently I am in the process of going back to pocket carrying a single stack 9 in the summer. It is about .1 to .2 of an inch thinner than the P365. Being thinner and having less weight of the extra ammo makes a single stack 9 a better choice for me in the summer. I carry an extra loaded magazine in another pocket.
I have a P-01 too, as well as a Springfield Hellcat that I do pocket carry. Funny how they both have pretty much the same sized barrel but the p-01 seems so much more capable. When I need less print (summer, funerals, weddings, etc.) I go with the LCPll. That thing vanishes, and beats the heck out of a harsh word or a pointy stick. My current winter carry is along the same line, Springfield xd-s mod 2 45, IWB. It's basically a blend of the Hellcat's size and the LCP's capacity- single stacked and need to carry an extra mag. But it's a 45.
@@natjonestower3035 I used to carry the LCP II and did so for many years. It’s a great deep carry option that I still carry in situations like you described.
Thanks Scott! It's good to have choices because of different situations. I carry the LCP Max for deep concealment and it's only slightly wider in the grip than the LCP II, which I carried for years.
When Canik first came out, I thought their guns were junk- but I have seen so much good on reviews and features of these guns it ALMOST makes me want one...
They definitely don't have the fit and finish of the Walthers that they copied. But they are solid guns.
I've bought 8 of them they are great guns! Never had an issue other than light primer strikes which are rare maybe 3 out of thousands of rounds
@@ThatCountryBoy90 that’s good to know
@@Catgat37 Yeah Walthers are definitely higher quality but unfortunately they won't release a solid high capacity micro pistol. I'm going to buy this canik mc9 but I'm going to automatically assume before I pick it up that it might have slide coating defects and possibly minor flaws. For some reason I can imagine canik sending out a firearm even if it had a couple scratches on it or something. Maybe I'm wrong though 🤷♂️.
@@Shenmue06 there is rumors of a PPS M3 in the works that may be 12+1. I might get the MC9 at one point. I had a whitewash battleworn mete sft on layaway. Talked my wife into letting me get a Q4 SF if I let her have the Canik. Been going down a rabbit hole of buying Walthers since. My wife wants to get more Caniks after I get a decent Walther collection squared away. I am very interested in seeing a Rival S in person.
Break down is similar to the R7 Mako with how you have to lift up the slide. Great video Sootch!
Thanks for this review Sootch00! I just paid for my 2-tone CANIK METE MC9 today! It's on backorder, but it'll be a great upgrade from my old ccw: Taurus Millennium G2!!!
Well. I'm going to buy one. Thanks for the review.

I finally got my hands on one. It is PHENOMENAL!
Good video I just picked up my mc9 today can't wait to test it at the range this weekend
I bought this gun yesterday and mounted the new vortex CCW red dot.. So far it's doing great
I just looked at this guy yesterday and now im seeing this video. Must be a sign.
I just purchased this as my second carry option (other is Glock 43). Watching this I appreciate my purchase even more and look forward to taking this to the range. Your knowledge and review is excellent. New subscriber here!
When I see one of these for $299 later on, I’ll need to buy it.
By then they'll probably have a xl version with a flat faced trigger. I honestly doubt this is going to drop down in price as fast as some of the others. I heard that their building an American factory so if anything the prices might go up.... I could be wrong though..
I'm buying this.
The clip inner width is built in my opinion for larger width belts.
Other than that; it's a
100% package!
PS: Love the IWI: Masada - Slim Scootch!
I would love to see a video on how this compares directly to the gx4 toro
Looks like they made it work by using a steel/metal sear housing assembly vs plastic which is used on all other models. Ensures frame maintains its integrity and rigidity since they shaved off so much polymer to reduce the width.
idk it seems more like G26 sized than P365 or Hellcat sized to me. Actually just checked on handgun hero it is pretty much exactly G26 with a 12rd mag size and weight in all dimensions, just with a slightly shorter barrel which doesn't mean a whole lot here.
Canik really should come out with a whole new model on new tooling that trims the fat off this guy, really get it down to P365 size but hopefully with an extra round or two like the Hellcat did and keeping the same excellent trigger Caniks are known for. If they could even make a DA/SA version like the full sized TP9's/Walther P99 that would be almost a guaranteed buy from me to replace my Hellcat.
As it is though all I'd be getting from it is a better trigger in exchange for less concealability and more weight, maybe a little less muzzle jump but not enough for me to care since the Hellcat ain't half bad for it's size anyway. I like the fact I can rock the Hellcat with the flush mag under basketball shorts in the summer and that I can easily stash it with the whole holster along with the spare mag into my coat pocket in colder months if I don't want to carry my full sized Beretta, it's just so convenient as a tiny little hooker pistol over anything even remotely bigger.
I will not buy a gun until I watch Sootch review it. Most indepth reviews on YT 👍👍
Just grabbed this mc9! Shot about 70 rounds so far day 1 between the 12, 15, and 18 rnd mags 😅 first time at 7y nice fist size groupings!
I made a target out of Horse Stall mats(can grab at tractpr supply for $40ish and cut in some grooves, and just spray paint over the bullet holes. Cheaper " Infinity Target"!! 😅 New to shooting, that trigger is woah. 🔫
Haha love the review and especially the American pronunciation of Canik!! That’s right we’re in America that’s how we say it!!!
This will be my next edc
Masada slim9 looks softer with equal tigger. Thoughts?
I have 2 Caniks no issues so far over 2000 rds each
It’s between this or the psa micro dagger to replace my 43x. I can’t wait to try one of these out!
I have a Taurus GX4. Really debating on selling it now for this. And I really love my Taurus. Ima have to go hold it when it comes in to my local FFL.
this coming with a nice holster is gonna be a big win with the newbie CCW crowd
Are we calling double-stacked mag weapons micro now? The Glock 26 is a sub-compact. I'd call the 42 & 43 single stack 'micro'.
This is so much thinner than a glock 26. The 1.12" width includes the ambi slide release, so the width sounds decieving.
@@tysonlamay1637 I see. Very well.
I've been hearing good things aboit these guns. I'm pretty satisfied with my Ruger Max 9.
With they made one slightly smaller barrel with 10rd cap just as an uber-micro version.
