The Canik METE SF One Series delivers striker-fired reliability with enhanced ergonomics for shooters seeking a compact, high-capacity 9mm pistol. This model features a shortened frame design that maintains full-size performance while improving concealability and comfort for extended carry. Built on Canik's proven METE platform, it combines Turkish engineering precision with American market preferences.
What Makes This Different
The METE SF (Short Frame) reduces overall grip length by approximately 0.5 inches compared to standard METE models while retaining the same 4.46-inch barrel length. This configuration provides better concealment without sacrificing ballistic performance or sight radius. The One Series designation indicates factory-installed Warren Tactical sights and an upgraded trigger system that breaks consistently at 5.5-6 pounds with minimal overtravel.
Key Features
- 4.46-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate for optimal 9mm performance
- 15-round steel magazine with witness holes and polymer base pad
- Warren Tactical fiber optic front sight and serrated rear sight
- Optics-ready slide with removable cover plate for red dot mounting
- Ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine release
- Picatinny rail section for tactical light or laser attachment
- Polymer frame with interchangeable backstraps and aggressive texturing
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The shortened grip improves draw speed and reduces printing during concealed carry while maintaining sufficient purchase for rapid follow-up shots. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris during adverse conditions. The striker-fired action provides consistent trigger pull characteristics across temperature ranges from -10°F to 140°F.
