Canik METE MC9 - First Range Trip / First Impressions

[@eugeneheaney2681]

My Canik Mete mc9 did the same thing first time using it, failed to feed twice using 115 gr Blazer but I didn’t lubricate it the first time shooting it, I took it home and lubricated it and it has ran perfectly ever since

[@dabagz1]

Yea man, it is a nice piece. However , I had to polish my feed ramp after numerous feeding issues. Get some fine sandpaper and give that ramp some extra love. Canik made a great gun in terms of accuracy, ergo, and performance, but my feed ramp definitely required polishing. Some people get a replacement feed spring , but I found that it really is the ramp that is the root cause. The spring is fine Cheers,

I’m hoping I don’t have to go to that, so far just that one hollow point didn’t go.

[@mrkeitt]

I've got 1000 rounds through mine and no issues. Great gun 👍🏾

[@PAC_84]

My Mc9 was having issues with the rounds getting jammed up on the feed ramp and locking up. Fmjs and hollows both. I emailed century Arms and they sent me a new recoil spring. Shot it today with 115 g fmjs and 124g hollows and it had no issues at all. Very pleased

[@coffee_5.56x45]

That’s good to know! And good to here they took care of it!

[@baddboi8]

How long did it take to receive the new recoil spring?

[@PAC_84]

@@baddboi8 I emailed them about it last Thursday. They said they would send me one. Took them until Monday to ship it and then I got it yesterday on Wednesday. So once it was shipped it took 2 days. Not bad at all. Pretty quick actually. And boy does it make a difference. I was all pissed that I got a bad one but now relieved. It didn't jam on anything today,fmj 115g or hollows 124 g. Just kept eating it.

[@RepentorPerish77]

Follow up to our conversation of mine hitting the feed ramp. After the first 150 rounds it started to run smooth..took it to the range again today ran another 100 rounds through it and no issues. I think she is broken in

[@Faithisthekeyy]

It’s the spring . It’s built strong . Rack the slide and shoot and the spring gets more loose then you good

[@coffee_5.56x45]

I’ve definitely been hearing that about them since I’ve joined an owners group.

[@SHOOTERS_G.n.B]

Good job bro..I thought the mc9 was awesome was just an issue with my hand size slide never locked back for me and the mags didn’t drop freely..overall the mc9 is a dope shooter I wouldn’t carry every day. I went with the slightly larger Mete SF and couldn’t be happier!!!

[@coffee_5.56x45]

Yeah I’d say I have medium sized hands and it’s borderline for me. I still need to do far more testing before I ever carry it just been super busy to do any updates or shoot it more.

[@YesImTaco24-7]

you should definitely check out the mossberg MC2sc or the MC2C

[@coffee_5.56x45]

I was actually looking at those! Also the Taurus GX4 TORO! Both seem like great guns, I honestly had no intentions on buying this, seemed too good to be true and unobtainable for a while as most new Caniks are. My LGS just so happened to get two in last week. I went there several days later expecting both to be gone, but there it was lol.

[@fpav4049]

Mine does the same thing. Hollow point ammo gets jammed into the bottom of the ramp, pushing the bullet into the casing. I have 360 rounds thru mine and 12 FTF and a few double feeds. I still have jams after polishing the ramp.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

Did you ever send yours back and have them fix it? On the Facebook groups people are having better luck with them these days, I think they did a silent barrel change and the new production ones have the newer feed ramps. I know the threaded barrels they sell looked a lot different on the feed ramp than the original ones.

[@fpav4049]

@@coffee_5.56x45 I bought a Threaded barrel and the ramps are cut different and feeds everything. I sent my original barrel back but they are waiting for a shipment. It's been about 7 weeks and counting.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

@@fpav4049 dang that’s crazy it’s taking so long. I thought about going with the treaded barrel just to be on the safe side. It’s been running great with so far for me but I’ve mainly just shot 115gr through it since the original video.

[@Gator69420]

I’m waiting on a whole new mc9 from canik! I had a lot of issues with mine and wasn’t happy At all.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

That’s what I’ve been hearing since I got it. I need to do a follow video to this and address that and what I’ve experienced with mine just haven’t had the time to make a video or shoot this nearly enough to give a good long term opinion.

[@Gator69420]

@@coffee_5.56x45 yeah for sure Make sure she runs! That mc9 needs a solid 1-1300 rounds in it to see

[@Gator69420]

Why in the world would you only buy Glock for years when there is so many super nice hand guns out there?

[@danielk0106]

Why not? Why do some people only buy Ford F-150's? Chevy's? Toyotas? RAMs?

[@coffee_5.56x45]

For me it was first switching to a Glock 19 from a 1911 at the age of 19. I was impressed by the reliability (not that impressive compared to a cheap 1911) and that’s the age I really got into training. So becoming super proficient on the Glock and carrying it everyday for 9 years I just kept buying other Glocks for different purposes. I’ve always been impressed with caniks for the price but was always skeptical of their reliability to want to buy one over a Glock I know will run no matter what.

[@chrissourp6807]

Um, it's simple. Glocks rock. G19 all day, every day. 6000 rounds ZERO failures.

[@davidjackson6895]

I have the same gun, been having the same problem!!! Ejector spring too stiff. Gun occasionally won’t return to battery!!!

[@betogarcia463]

Its weird the first canik i bought i had similar issues with it the very first time i shot it... since then I've had zero problems. I also read a few days ago a comment saying the same thing who knows.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

I’ve heard people talk about them being “over sprung” in some reviews, I’ve heard them say that about the recoil spring and extractor spring. Idk about the hollow points issue. To me it seems like the top round typically sits at a pretty steep angle, if it moves forward in the mag a little the angle is different so that’s probably what happened to mine.

[@123billymichaels]

Ive got thousands of rounds through my caniks with absolutely zero malfunctions of any kind

[@coffee_5.56x45]

That’s the general theme with all the Caniks I’ve heard about just had bad luck with it. It’s doing fine now and I’ll try to make an update video soon!

[@kenhaworth7722]

Good review, I couldn't help but notice you constantly dropping the mags,and switching them. Great job. Mine drop free also, when empty. I have a feeling that Glock availableity is about to increase,and prices decrease. I'm just saying.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

Yeah kind of like a bored fidget thing but also getting reps in at the same time lol I honestly didn’t plan on this being a real review or even on KZbin, just filmed like I usually do when I shoot and decided to talk about my thoughts on it as I went since it was a new gun. Ran too long to put on IG so I put it here.

[@reymondlopez7468]

Been carrying a G-19 for years now and I just purchased an mc9. My question is: What kind of neighborhood are you living in that you have to carry at the gym?

[@coffee_5.56x45]

Less of a bad neighborhood and more of a I just carry everywhere kind of thing, the gym was just one of the places I never could successfully and get a good workout in.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I'd never choose a Glock over my Walther PPQ or PPS.

[@coffee_5.56x45]

I’ve also always like Walthers just never wanted to invest in another platform. Having several holsters and mags for the Glock platform is a big reason I haven’t tried very much else to be honest.

Where'd you get that little black ammo satchel?

[@coffee_5.56x45]

Oddly enough I don’t remember, I have like 3 of them, I used one for a while as a small Trauma pouch I’d keep in my truck, I use them for USPSA so I’m not carry anything bulky. They probably came on something I bought. If you search for small molle pouch on Amazon you’ll probably find something similar. G-Code also makes some small ammo containers like it.
