Canik METE MC9 vs The Micro Compact Pistol World

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

If you like this video, I put together a list of a few more that you'd like too! Canik METE MC9 Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHW7mqaleN5nqqs Canik Elite Combat vs Walther PDP Pro SD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofJpI2QZ7eJf9U PSA Sabre Billet Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4iokGlrqt2SkM0

[@JohnW-yv6yp]

The fact that Canik, who came out years back as a budget line of pistols, has released a micro pistol with more capacity than the P365 for less money and barely any larger is nothing short of amazing to me.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For sure!

[@WhiteDragonSecurity]

As for the capacity, the MC9 accepts all of full sized 18 and 20 round mags too! 👍

[@JohnW-yv6yp]

@@WhiteDragonSecurity How, isn't it thinner? What dark magic is this? Lmao

[@Robespierres_Ghost]

Sig 365 xl has the same capacity and is lighter. Or 3in sig slide w 12rd grip. Even lighter w same capacity, height, but lighter. Nothing wrong with the canik but its not doing anything the other can't do.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

XL or X variants of the Sig weren’t considered and their grip lengths with those capacities are longer than the Canik. Thanks for sharing.

[@josephdixon1688]

Because of this video, I now have a Canik MC9 sitting on my desk! I hope to take it to the range tomorrow after church. I can’t wait!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Glad to hear it!

[@Jayreisofficial]

A year later . How you like it brother

[@willo7734]

I really love Canik as a company. They are showing everybody else how it’s done. Listening to their customers and giving really high quality at a budget price is pretty much as good as it gets from a customer’s perspective.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

They are doing a great job for sure!

[@somedayzo6]

I have watched this particular video three times. What I am taking away from it is that a good trigger is very very important. I have always felt that the trigger doesn’t really matter, because I as a shooter, should be able to compensate and overcome any shortcomings of the trigger. But when I see a shooter with your skill level routinely discuss the quality of the trigger and how critically important it is a bell went off in my head. I am now fully starting to realize that I deserve to have a quality trigger from the beginning. Huge “learning moment” for me! Many thanks!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Hey glad we can help! Bad triggers can be worked through to some extent but they can begin to hinder a shooter at some point as well. With a good shooter the trigger being better can do nothing but enhance. Less room for error. Triggers are everything but they are a large part of the equation!

[@StrollaLawDefense]

For the money, you absolutely can’t beat a Canik pistol. For what they give you, out of the box, it is hands-down one of the best stock pistols made. I have been waiting three years for Canik to finally come out with something that could possibly make me change my 43X EDC. Cannot wait to get my hands on the MC 9 and run some defensive drills with it. If it’s trigger is anything like the prior Canik triggers, along with the same reliability I’ve gotten from all of my Caniks, it will be without question the new king of concealed carry. Unless you have actually ran a Canik pistol through defensive drills for at least 1000 rounds, keep moving on and save your hate for someone else!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Very true!

Canik has really been listening to their customer base and making incredible pistols all together. But especially for the price point! They have become my personal favorite to take to the range. Another great overview love your channel!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For sure!

[@teamskdm1]

pretty easy to make good pistols when youre cloning one of the best pistol manufacturers in the world (walther)

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Does Walther make a micro compact pistol like this? Must have missed that memo.

[@teamskdm1]

@@HuntFishShootChannel that’s just a matter of shortening the barrel and grips hence why it can still take the 18 round canik mags. The internals and especially the trigger are absolutely stolen from Walter as well as the petruding striker system. Plus the rest of their line up is also 80% Walther DNA.

[@primeddefender]

If it was quite that easy you would think walther would have made a micro like this. Obviously there is a very hot market for micro 9's these last few years. As for triggers in my personal opinion canik has got it out of the box so they must have used the extra 20% for improvements though I wish canik would have thought out the grip texture like the walther pdp. I will dang sure give that to walther all day long. But hey to each their own!

[@lancealbrandt9719]

The name brand on the grip has never mattered much to me. I have the GX4 and absolutely love it. I own Sigs, Caniks, and Glocks (G48), and the Taurus definitely stacks up. I'm planning on picking up the MC9 when it comes out. Lot of great micros out there, so it really comes down to personal preference.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Tons of great options!

[@BullseyeHTX]

@@RJ-oi3ck want a cookie?

[@lancealbrandt9719]

@DaddyGoatee that's a good point. Seems like mag compatibility is a tradeoff with micro compacts. Cool that the mc9 will take the bigger Canik mags.

[@MrNOAH504]

I purchased the GX4 after trying out the Hellcat and P365 along with others. I actually went with the GX4 over them all because it had the best trigger IMO,felt great in the hand and of course the price was way better. I carry it along with the 43X MOS and Hellcat Pro on a daily basis. That being said, I got excited about the Canik when it was announced, it's on my list without even trying it out yet.

[@JDPri77]

I also have the GX4 and the version I got had a fiber optic sight for about $20 more. It shoots very well. I am getting a MC9 if the reviews stay positive in the next 6 mo.

[@thomasjohnson6808]

Paid $239 for the GX4. Fits nice, goes bang and holds 11+1 with the standard magazine. Not much more to say than that!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Heck yeah!

[@troytruong8246]

i thought I got a good deal for $250 at a gun show. The front sight fell off on the 2 sessions at the range. I upgraded to night sight anyway. Great gun for the money.

[@22jeepmojave75]

for money, I bought GX4 and for size and feel, p365(paid $499 with two 10rd & one 12rd mag & 1 box of personal ammo). no more guns, running out of storage at home. thanks for your review, best comparison on micro compacts.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

[@troytruong8246]

Same! I have p365 and G42(my edc for 10 years). Couldn't pass up a good deal for GX4 at a gun show for $250! My edc will always be G42. Light, small, easy to cc, comfortable, and easy to shoot. 7+1 is good enough for me. I will try the MC9 out just because people be bragging about it.

[@airplanebuilder8685]

I appreciate your no-bias objective approach.

[@N8urecure]

Excellent review. Sounds like the Canik is the best trigger hands down, and then comes neck and neck or slightly takes the edge overall in all of the other important considerations covered here. Then when you factor in everything that comes in the box, the optic readiness, and the value, wow, I think we have a winner amongst some very good competition.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For sure! Thanks for watching

[@damienharbin242]

This is the way I see Canik and Girsan in general. What they’re doing for the price is outstanding. Between this, the Canik Rival-S, and the Girsan 2311, they’re making waves. If this can finish a couple thousand round review reliably, I’ll pick one up.

But, I appreciate the encouragement, that means a lot 😊 I've been stuck in No-No New Jersey for too long, and need to start practicing again. Especially now that I can purchase again, and am looking for a small, compact carry weapon. Can you recommend anything as for a grip on these smaller weapons where pinky and 2nd hand holds are... um... so much different? Indeed! I've watched some more of your videos, and am greatly liking your channel! 😁👍

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Thanks Lee! For the dominant hand pressure is like your shaking hands with someone and get that grip as high as you can in the backstrap. Then the support hand will fit into the knuckle grooves and take up the grip space and crush the other hand and rear of the grip like a vise. Kinda hard to describe in words. We did do a grip for recoil video awhile back but I have switched up a few things since then. We have had some requests about your particular ask for micro compacts so I think we need to make a video on it!

An excellent review! I have the sig P365 and have never liked its trigger. I carry it with the 12 round mags which add a little to the grip length and this size and shape of the P365 with the 12 round mag seems to me like the perfect size for the way I carry it. I've been researching the MC 9 with it's optic mounting system that will easily take the Holosun 507k or 407k without using a mounting plate and thus enable a co-witness with the iron sights. Your review has helped me make the decision to add the MC9 to my concealed carry guns.

Im the type to keep looking at other options and i decide im going to throw a hogue grip on my hellcat and just learn to shoot better. I could not even try any micro 9s at my local range and just bought the hellcat on a whim because i remember the reviews and it just felt better in my hands at the time.

I bought my wife the Canik MC9...well...it is the best shooting little pistol I have ever fired. The wife and I know own 3 Caniks. She owns the MC9, and the Mete SFT, and I own the TP9 Elite Combat. I am a traditional Smith & Wesson guy, and EDC the M&P 2.0 Compact. But, after shooting the MC9, I may pick one up for myself as an EDC that I can switch out with the S&W when I need a little more concealability. Canik makes great weapons. I just hope they start to produce rifles in the near future!

I'm newer to Pistols so I'm learning quite a bit. I have a Canik rival and a shield plus performance center for carry. I want to shoot a hellcat pro, a p365 and the new mc9. For canik just over $400 I might end up just buying one and making my collection 3 lol. My shield Is a 4" barrel so it's probably almost identical in length, canik did say they weren't going for the absolute smallest, they went smallest for best function which from what I have heard seems to be successful

It is indeed. It’s a very nice pistol!

[@boblaws9851]

[@samnolte749]

As someone who owns a Hellcat but rented a p365 and did back-to-back mags many times, the Hellcat has SIGNIFICANTLY more felt recoil over the P365. Ammo all out of the same box. I would put it in the +20%-30% range, and that's with a stock p365 and the Hellcat with a Hogue grip. Of course, your personal experience is yours and mine is mine, but personally I'm here researching whether my next carry gun is the MC9 or the P365x.

[@dylanholbrook6239]

​@@samnolte749 own a 365 carry a 43x and even tho I've had no issue with the SIG I wouldn't buy it again. I think it is absolutely terrible. I carry my standard 43 when I want smaller. But my wife loves the 365 so we are all different

[@unmalo2768]

I've shot the hellcat, and its good, but not better than the Canik. It comes down to the trigger for me.

In watching a lot of comparison videos guys will rattle off numbers and measurements which does give an indication however, the way you stack them up side by side is exactly the way I had hoped to see for a true representation of the sizes. Nice detailed touch. I started off with the G3 enjoyed shooting enough to get the G4 & have decided I enjoy it enough to move up to the next level and have ordered the Mc 9. 👍 Will check out your video lineup to see if you have info on the next level for my progression. 😉

Happy we could show you what you were looking for !

[@jimmymcclure4549]

Out of those four Micro 9's having never touched any of them I would take the Canik and never give it a second thought. That being said I have three Micro 9's and they are not any of those. My first was a Walther PPS M2 which is a single stack. The other two are a Shield Plus and a Glock 48. If those three did not absolutely have my needs covered already the Canik would be a very attractive option,

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For sure! You have great options already no doubt.

[@erockstar8023]

In my opinion the gx4 has a much better trigger than the hellcat. Love the video though. Will definitely be getting the canik

Nothing wrong with that! Triggers are subjective to some extent anyway!

[@ShonG78]

I have a G3C and after 2,000 rounds with no malfunctions I’m going to the canik mc9 cause the trigger is now super spongy like where there was a wall then break now there isn’t and all I’ve heard about canik is being reliable with a high quality trigger

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Great choice!

[@l00nybin]

Nice comparison! I have a GX4 and a P365XL (modified with a Wilson Combat grip and M*Carbo trigger and spring kit with ArmoryCraft return spring), and used to have the Hellcat. Hated the Hellcat, even with an Apex trigger kit in it. Traded it for the GX4 and a good chunk of store credit and don't regret it. However, I will probably trade the GX4 for the MC9.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Hellcat is very snappy compared to other guns. Springfield makes snappy guns. Had XDS 9mm. Sold it because it was not a good shooter.

Have a GX4, Shield Plus and 43X. Box stock the Shield Plus PC has the best trigger. Changed the 43x to a TTI trigger bar and it better. The GX4 has a good carry trigger with a positive break thats easy to define. I want to give the Canik a try. Iv'e owned a couple of Caniks and they both had great triggers. I wish Canik had made their micro more in the 43x size. I just think the 43x size is perfect for carry. Gonna totally ipgrade its trigger now with a Glock performance trigger and Jonny Glock shoe/bar.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

If it makes you feel better it’s closer to a 43x size than a 43!

[@troytruong8246]

Glock is overpriced. You literally have to upgrade everything. The only glock that I edc is my G42 for 10 years. wouldn't buy any glocks in this life time. Unless they come out with double stack G42!

[@stufoo]

Well. I’m glad I watched this. Trigger is my biggest selling point. I wanted to get the sig x macro or the mete mc9 but if the sig trigger is mushy then it’s a huge no. Mc9 will save me a bunch of money too

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

The trigger on a macro is better than the standard P365, but it’s still not as good as this one.

[@l00nybin]

Dropping in a trigger kit from ArmoryCraft or M*Carbo will help the P365 trigger a lot, but it still doesn't hold a candle to a Canik trigger. The best microcompact trigger I've felt so far (since the MC9 won't be released until March) is the Kimber R7 Mako. Phenomenal trigger! It didn't work for me in other aspects, so I went back to the P365, but got a XL and put a M*Carbo trigger kit in it with a Wilson Combat XL grip module. Makes the P365 a completely different gun. That said, I will be getting the MC9 as soon as I can. My METE SFT needs a little brother.

You are probably the only KZbinr that I’ve watched that rated the Hellcat as less snappy than the others in its class.

I guess it really is a subjective experience.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

The Hellcat shoots like a Glock, Glocks are always less snappy than their competitors. Micro compacts in general have snap, but I have always felt the Hellcat was one of the least. Maybe some folks need help with their grip 😂

[@jdubb2432]

@@HuntFishShootChannel I agree.

[@Tihsllubllasti]

@@HuntFishShootChannel I agree with this completely. I bought the P365 and just could not get good groups no matter how much I tried to improve my grip, stance etc. Hellcat is a challenge as well, but much easier to maintain a solid grip and consistent sight picture. But I'm holding out to try the mc9 before I invest in another micro, because canik has proven to be the best bang for the buck, over all the manufacturers, in my opinion. I'm also interested in trying the new Masada micro that IWI is releasing this year. That would make a good comparison video if you are taking requests. Lol.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

People keep saying the Masada Slim is nice however we have never had hands on with them. The MC9 would be a great option for you!

[@michaelloya6147]

I think most of these micros are similar in recoil and the real difference for people is which ones they are able to get better grips on naturally and inherently shoot better. They all are so similar in size and weight, but some people like and get better grips on certain firearms and end up shooting better

I love the Canik line of guns... I have a tpfsr in 9mm...I have a Sig P365 X Macro Comp which I like as my everyday carry BUT I JUST LOVE MY WALTHER PDP COMPACT... the most accurate and the trigger is the best on any production gun ... love carrying this gun!!

p365 any day i carry the 365XL with the romeo zero RDS. im waiting to get the back iron sight plate cause for a conceal carry i dont want the rds but i will say im coming close too 1,000 rounds though it and iv never had a single issue. gun or sight minus batteries dies around 5 months. i also clean it super good every 2-3rd range trip but i cant express my love for sig. my second favorite is my g43X btw

[@bertrumvodcas1198]

Bought a New Hellcat pro. Reliable but horrible trigger and accuracy sucked. Was also very snappy and could not get a good solid grip. Sold it and bought the Canik MC9. Its about as good as the perfect Gun. Feels good in the hand, tight grip, soft shooting, good trigger , accurate and runs good. High cap mags all in one package. If I were Canik I would make an updated MC9 model, tuned springs, Nightsights, and do something about the gap in the grip handle. Other than thats its my everyday carry.

You really nailed the description of SiG triggers, I always described them as spongy. I actually prefer a stock Glock trigger. SiG’s triggers are surprisingly bad for a pre cocked striker, which the canik, Walther, and HK striker fired pistols all use

[@ertatta]

Yeah Walther could surprise everyone with a fantastic micro in the near future.

Got my GX4 in June, super stoked, struggled to get 40 rounds through it. Failure to go into battery, dead trigger, jams. After "repair", ran 120 rounds, five different magazines, two types of ammo, didn't get through one mag without failure. Really disappointed, love the feel and shot well w it when it did shoot. Back it goes, I guess, but can't trust it now.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

@@matthewfisher3201 ikr, I've sent mine in twice now. Last time they said they replaced barrel, trigger assembly, and recoil spring. It actually tried to load one into battery right behind one that didn't fire. Jammed the mag and everything. Finally got it cleared, but had multiple other misfires and problems after that. Using multiple magazines and ammo, managed to empty a magazine without error only twice. Looking at sending in a third time.

Great review for the pros and cons of each pistol. Canik offers so much to their customers for what you pay and aftermarket support is increasing. If Taurus could only offer better finishes on their pistols, and Sig can fix the triggers from being smushy then that might make a difference, but as of now Canik has been hitting home runs. Edit: What shooting gloves are you using? Given the micros do not have much room within the trigger guards. Thx.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For gloves, I have tried them all, literally. My favorite and go to tactical glove and shooting glove is the PIG Delta Glove. They are awesome. Canik is killing it! 🔥

[@Irfan87]

@@HuntFishShootChannel I have to say, i think the SIG is popular because it brought a larger mag and a tiny size to the whole micro game. The P365 seems to have floated along because of the SIG name. But it really feels like the MC9, Shield Plus even the Hellcat are better guns, the only real thing they give up on the P365 is being slightly larger and it REALLY isnt that much of a difference. The MC9 for one seems to be superior to the P365 in every way possible cept for once again, being slightly bigger. Which isnt even a downside to a lot of people who want more space to grip.

I own the Glock 43x, 26, 27, Taurus Gx4, Sig 365 (which I traded because it didn't fit or feel good in my hand while shooting). My Gx4 is my "go to" for daily conceal carry. It fills out and fits my hand the best with the large blackstrap. I have over 800 rds in 7 months on my GX4 (even after sending it back in for the trigger issue). Im honestly excited to get my hands on the new Canik Micro and see how it does. I hope it lives up to the hype.

[@HoldenTreasure]

Looking to get one of these guns soon. I went to the store and put them all in my hand. I've really been intersted in the Hellcat. But I've also been looking at the "Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus" which didn't even make your list.... Thoughts?

The M&P didn’t make our list because we don’t own them or had one for review. However they are good pistols, I’ve shot them and people seem to like them. Hope this helps. Go with what would work best for you.

The Shield Plus is an awesome pistol. The MC9 is pretty much identical in size but has a different feel. I just picked up an MC9 for $390, so they are quite a bit less expensive than the M&P. Haven't had the chance to get it to the range yet to make the direct comparison to my Plus.

It’s long but not bothersome. In fact the Wall is so defined I don’t mind it one bit.

Since it is a METE series, pistol, the Freedomsmith trigger shoe should fit the MC9, and it will remove most of the long take up.

[@piela650]

I had the same thought, worried about how far back it breaks, reminds me of the Taurus g2c trigger gotta go ALLTHEWAY back. But I have a newer gen GX4xl and they must have improved the trigger since the original GX4s. Mine's got smooth take-up and a completely solid wall, I can't force any grit or creep out of it no matter how slowly I try. Maybe a bit heavier than others, but so solid And it breaks far forward, lots of trigger reach room for big man hands

[@boblaws9851]

@@piela650 It feels nothing at all like a G2C/G3C. It does break clear to the rear but somehow it has a completely different feel than the Taurus.

I've been hoping for a comparison video since your you posted up the MC9 video. I've owned a standard 365 for a couple of years, and I now have a 365XL. The XL trigger is significantly better, still not perfect though. I appreciate it sir!

You are right. Personally i would always pick the XL over any standard 365! Thanks for watching!

[@Shenmue06]

The flat faced trigger shoe doesn't change the way the trigger functions.

[@thatoneguy24752]

@user-ry2fy1mw6i The main difference is the trigger pull geometry. The flat face allows for better natural placement for improved leverage on the firing mechanism. It takes work with both to figure out what your personal preference will be, but in my experience with the flat vs curved on both the P320 and P365 FCUs the flat face improves the overall function and feel of it.

[@Shenmue06]

@@thatoneguy24752 It doesn't change the god awful slack after trigger wall which is literally the biggest issue with the p365 platform. I don't care what shape you make the trigger shoe-that trigger mechanism is garbage. The trigger doesn't break at the wall which is what most people want! People want it to break at the wall! People don't want to hit the wall, pull back a bunch of slack and guess when the gun is going to go off!!

[@jowpopper790]

Overall good video. If I didn't already have the Hellcat I would look at the Canik. One criticism of your video is on a table top review don't wear a black jacket with a black background and handle black guns. It made it very hard to see the guns.

I have a Hellcat and Hellcat Pro with thousands of rounds through them. In my opinion, and in my hands, the MC9 is quite a bit better in pretty much every way. Im only at 1k rounds through my MC9 and plan to put another 1k through it before i carry it full time.

I pocket carry my P365X (in a non-printing DeSantis Super Fly Pocket Holster w/Flap), which has a flat trigger and slightly larger grip and beaver tail than the 10+1 version, and is 14+1 with a standard 12 round mag and the Magguts +2 kit. As far as I'm concerned, the 14+1 P365X (on which I've mounted a Nightstick TSM13G green laser/light combo, and added a slightly larger mag release) is the best micro 9 out there, bar none. I also only carry it with Underwood's 90 gr. Xtreme Defenders, because hollow points just can't reliably perform when shot from such a small barrel, while the XD's fluted solid copper projectiles work amazingly well in the P365.
