This will be my first gun purchase ever. I spent DOZENS of hours researching everything from cheap to luxury and after factoring the price quality upgrades [optics, light] and decent ammo (and I mean A LOT) plus other common accessories, the METE SFT is my pick. I primarily got into guns for self defense and want 1 gun that does it all. I first looked at sub 4 inch barrels for the odd occasion II might want to conceal carry but it just wasnt big enough for a night stand pistol. I also liked the rival SFx but with an 8in+ barrel I am not large enough to conceal carry that beast. The SFT can be both home defense and conceal carry when needed. I literally don't need anything else!

I just got back from taking a 4 day handgun course at Front Sight with my new Canik Mete, it preformed awesome! Over 600 rounds and not one failure. I shot it much better than any pistol I've shot to date. The trigger is awesome, super fast reset and light. They almost didn't let me shoot it because they thought the trigger had been modified, apparently they don't allow triggers under 4#, mine was 4# 1.5 oz. Awesome pistol, seems very well balanced, super happy with my purchase.
@mrarivv00072 жыл бұрын
The fact that they thought it was modified not knowing what gun this is and call themselves a pistol course is embarrassing. They should know what that is and how they perform just being gun connoisseurs, apparently they aren't and probably have certain biases.

I am really impressed with the upgrades that Canik did on an already good quality product. If you are not currently improving your product your competitor is busy working on coming out with something to replace yours. So they came out with an improved mag well with an additional aluminum mag well guide, double undercut, shorten the trigger pull, and reduced the slide weight. In the mean time CZ, Glock, H&K, and FN have done nothing to little to improve their latest designs, while Walther and Canik have upped their game. Kudos to Canik for continuing to deliver value/performance on a product that is not that old.

There's the gun to gun variance but these have the same trigger system as pretty much anything post - SA mod (decocker SA only variant) - so the SF, SFX, etc all use the same silky smooth NiB coated internals. I don't know about the Salient enhanced elite models though. What is definitely better is the grip module, though a few beers worth of courage and a Dremel could essentially make the same improvements if you've ever undercut a Glock.

I am going to rely on Canik's systems since the TP9 series all use the same mags. Although it is disappointing to hear the SFT will not have a regular RMR foot print. My Vulcan Holosun is awesome.

If I had my way, CANIK would get rid of the chamber indicator on top and the striker indicator on the back (just useless to me, and parts to screw up or a place for crap to get in), and use different sights (black rear, slimmer front). I get mine on Wednesday, but I think I'd like a bit stronger wall on the trigger--though I do like a light break (I hope to get this one down to 3.25-3.5lbs).

I have a METE SFT. I love it. I paid $650 for mine with optic. It may not be the best optic, but it works.

The mete SFT is going as low as $450 online and seeing the mete SFX for as $500 crazy cheap for what you get. If i didnt splurge on a Grandpower XCalibur and Q100 this summer id grab one but my wife would strangle me

I bought me a Canik METE SFT. It is truly an improved version of the TP9 SF (which I have). I looove the METE! It lived up to my own expectations. It is outssstanding!!! By the way, Canik is pronounced CANIK in English, we don't speak Turkish. In fact, we don't call the country Türkiye in Turkish pronouncing it "Turkeeyee." People just want to sound sophisticated telling you is pronounced "Jaenick!!!" 😎 Screw them. Last, but not least, it is horrific how social media moguls are controlling freedom of speech and expression, while injecting a one-sided political anti-gun agenda, with the ill purpose of eliminating all gun content in social media platforms. People are not paying much attention, but the progressive movement is about restricting everything that does not fit their own thinking, views and agenda. One day we will wake up to all gun channel creators gone! And it will be too late.

I have the Canik SFT and it is the same size as my favorite gun, the CZ P 07. I really like this size of pistol to shoot for a striker fired gun!

10:40, some holsters are meant to be used to store your pistol! Not for quick draw, not for concealed duty carry. You can holster your pistol as you walk down to your target. If nothing else, it will serve you until get a better high-speed holster to use as you walk down to check your targets at the range.

Very useful review. Thanks. I have a few pistols, but the Mete SFT Pro will be my next purchase. If, the ATF ever gets around to approving my suppressor purchase. 👍

My METE SF arrived at my ffl today. It has the "glock 19 sized" shorter frame and slide, so I don't understand why it isn't being advertised.

I own the Elite SC, has been pressed into a home gun. For EDC I have PPS, and seems like it will be co-opted by my wife. SC will become my EDC when the holster comes in, and I have been debating on either PDP or the Mete for my home weapon and battle belt gun. Love my Canik and my Walther, but I think I am going to get the PDP, because of wanting a full size optic and not a micro. Currently I am saving for the Swampfox Sentinel for the SC, but I think on a full size gun I really do want a full size optic, I would not be trying to conceal it.

The Holosun 407K V2 mounts easily in less than 10 minutes, but two rear posts on the Shield plate need to be filed down since the optic only has recesses for the front two. There is a specific youtube video showing how easy it is.

Crazy how you mentioned that you can’t use full sized Holosun optics on this gun in this review, but then Holosun came out with the EPS which is full sized with the micro footprint. Wild how canik was kinda ahead of the curve on that

The ink isn't even dry on my Extar ep9 purchase and I'm already eyeing this. I was looking at the tp9sfx but that was oddly too long of a barrel (the thing that attracted me in the first place) but this felt 10 kinds of right in my hands. Another great review, subbed (thought I was already...hm)

You could pronounce it Susan for all I care. If it works and is accurate and reliable I don’t much give a crap about its name. I bought this pistol about a week ago. First Canik I’ve ever owned. I’ve always dismissed them as a budget low end pistol. I got it on a whim and I am impressed. I also scored 3 extra factory mags which I’m told are hard to find. The trigger is pretty spectacular.
