The Canik Mete MC9 delivers full-size performance in a compact carry package, featuring a 3.18-inch barrel and dual magazine capacity options. This optic-ready pistol combines Turkish engineering precision with American shooting preferences for concealed carry and duty applications.
What Makes This Different
The Mete MC9 stands apart from standard compact pistols through its dual magazine system offering both 12+1 and 15+1 capacity options in the same platform. The Tenifer Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Melonite treatments, while the factory optic-ready slide eliminates aftermarket modifications. The serrated slide design ensures positive manipulation even with wet hands or gloves.
