The Canik METE MC9 delivers striker-fired reliability in a compact 9mm platform designed for California compliance. This micro-compact pistol combines Turkish engineering with American market requirements, offering a 10-round capacity that meets restrictive state regulations without compromising on performance.
What Makes This Different
The METE MC9 features Canik's refined trigger system with a crisp break and short reset, distinguishing it from typical striker-fired competitors. The polymer frame incorporates aggressive texturing and an ergonomic grip angle that promotes natural point of aim. Unlike many micro-compacts that sacrifice shootability for size, this pistol maintains a full grip length while reducing overall dimensions.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards with quality ammunition. The pistol functions reliably with various bullet weights from 115 to 147 grains, making it suitable for both practice and defensive applications. The low bore axis reduces muzzle flip, enabling faster follow-up shots during rapid fire sequences.
