The Canik Mete SFX delivers competition-grade performance with factory precision at a price point that challenges premium manufacturers. This optics-ready striker-fired pistol combines Turkish engineering excellence with features typically found on custom builds.
What Makes This Different
Built on Canik's proven SFX platform, the Mete incorporates a flattened trigger face with 90-degree break wall for consistent shot placement. The extended slide and barrel configuration reduces muzzle flip by 23% compared to compact models. Factory match-grade barrel delivers sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, while the optics-ready slide accepts popular red dot patterns without adapter plates.
Key Features
- Optics-ready slide with four mounting patterns for direct red dot installation
- Match-grade 5.2" cold hammer-forged barrel with enhanced rifling
- 18-round magazine capacity with extended grip for full-hand purchase
- Flattened trigger with 4.5-5.5 lb pull weight and tactile reset
- Reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide stop lever
- Picatinny rail system accommodates lights and laser modules
- Warren Tactical fiber optic front sight with blacked-out rear notch
Extensive testing demonstrates consistent cycling with ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains across temperature ranges. The extended sight radius improves target acquisition speed in competitive scenarios, while the balanced weight distribution maintains control during rapid-fire strings. Phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance in humid environments and high-round-count training sessions.
