Canik METE SFT Pro - Hard to find better than this!

[@raymondrodarte1678]

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen do not be intimidated by how long the review is its long because this guy tells you everything that you want to know about this gun..... simply perfect 🤘😎

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thank you, sir, for watching and your kind words. Although I do try to keep my reviews as short as possible, I also realize that most gun consumers want as much information as possible on a firearm to make an informed purchasing decision. I strive to provide that. I just take a different approach than most gun reviewers.

[@ryanscarphone4672]

Up n coming. I like it

[@v.german11b]

I am a Canik-fanatik. I own 6 different models. Out of them, this one is my very favorite. Why? Because I shoot the tightest groups with my *METE SFT PRO.*

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I enjoyed the short time that I had with this version.

[@JustPopz1]

Do you own a sfx ? If so how does it compare to the sft pro ? Is the sft pro just as good ?

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

@@JustPopz1 Thanks for watching and for your question. No, I do not own a SFX. I sure would like the METE SFx in the stable, however. I just have no need for a threaded barrel and the SFX is essentially the SFT Pro without the threaded barrel. I would have to assume that the METE SFX would be as good as the SFT Pro in this review. High quality for a good price.

[@10ft5x3]

Me too,just wishing that they would make this in 10mm.

[@ammogiant824]

Fyi the tools to remove the screw for the magwell is included. Its the tiny canik thats in the box. All bits are held in the basepad tiny canik and irs used as a tool as needed.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching. I forgot to mention that. It is a neat little tool and just not a novelty item.

[@Koyoo11]

How do you change the back strap on the new model there is no pin but the Manuel says pull the pin out lol I called support and they didn’t even know what to tell me

[@ammogiant824]

@@Koyoo11 there is a pin holding the grip on. Use the provided puch tool to drive out the pin.

[@Koyoo11]

@@ammogiant824 there is no pin I even called Canik customer support and they confirmed there are not pins in the new models of the Pro . They told me too slide it down but that wont work

[@ammogiant824]

@girthbrooks377 interesting mine isn't a pro but it is a mete sft and has a pin. From what I've seen, they are the same grips.

[@robertditaranto7568]

Great work! Really enjoy your obvious knowledge of firearms. Look forward to catching more reviews. Thanks

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thank you for stopping by and commenting, as both mean a lot. I appreciate the kind words.

[@jnananinja7436]

I’ve got a few Caniks.. They were my first firearm purchases and they are exceptional pistols. The SFT Pro is superb. Slightly better trigger than my PDP Pro, just wish it was metal. Tricking this one out with a lot of chrome/aluminum accents. Looks amazing, almost want to put it on display! For me, Canik and Walther and I haven’t needed to look further (except for an RIA 1911 ;)

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I enjoyed reviewing this Canik. The SFT Pro is, indeed, a fine pistol. Don't make it to pretty to carry. Nah! Go ahead and make it pretty!😁

[@Danimalofthedesert]

Just bought my tp9sf elite and love it. I'm also saving money for the mete.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope that you garner enough funds for that METE.

[@lomesh08]

I have this one and i love it lots of fun very sort reset and crisp break

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Great review. Just picked one up for $499. Couldn't pass it up. Ordered a Holosun 407k red dot as well.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

[@tedm4932]

Just now came across your review and it was a clear slow pace unlike others. Truly like your style of introducing & explaining the pistol ! 👍 I am not familiar with Canik and do have other brand pistols , so I decided to maybe purchase the mete sft & put an Holosun optic on it. I found one with a price tag of $419.00, so I am kind of considering it. Again , truly enjoy your great video on this Cank pistol , well done ! 👌

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Happy that you found the review. The SFT Pro not only looks good it shoots good. It would perform well with or without an optic. I do like to put detail in my videos, as I think that someone who might be interested in the firearm that I am reviewing would appreciate knowing fully about what they are considering to purchase. Glad that you liked it and will come back.

[@tedm4932]

Thank you for your reply ! Do you think the Canik METE SFT will shoot as well as the Canik Pro ? Is the difference between the two , the threaded barrel & length ? Yes , I have subscribed to your channel ! 👍@@RangeRoninChronicles

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

@@tedm4932 I appreciate your subscription. There are differences between the SFT and SFT Pro, but it really depends on if those difference make a difference to you. Of course the barrel length is different due to the threaded barrel of the PRO. The 4.93 barrel of the SFT is not going to make any difference over the 5.0-inch barrel of the PRO. If the barrel end cap of the PRO is loose, you just might end up losing it. The sights are different; the PRO has a tritium sights front sight and blacked out rear sight; whereas, the SFT has a three-white dot system. The barrel receiver is black out on the SFT, but not on the PRO. The triggers seems to be the same and both are optics ready. I think that the SFT would serve you well. In fact, if I were to purchase a METE, the SFT would come home with me, simply because I have no use for a threaded barrel and the two-tone barrel receiver does nothing for performance, and I would have full-confidence in it without a threaded barrel and no two-toned barrel. I think that I covered 'bout everything important. This is just my observation between the two and I hope that helps you out.

[@tedm4932]

Thank you for taking your time & what I need answered ! I have my eye on this model . . .be soon . Thank you much !! Also what state are you at ? Stay warm.@@RangeRoninChronicles

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

@@tedm4932 I try to be helpful where I can. I hope that you can get it and like it. I am in middle Georgia. It's cold right now, but will warm up this week. Thankfully, I am not seeing the weather other's are. Being a former "Yankee", and have been in the South long enough to exclude myself from "Damn Yankee" status, Northern Michigan was left behind long ago never to return.

[@markusk2475]

Great review! Greetings from finland.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thank you for watching and commenting - from so far away. I am humbled. I struggle at times in deciding if I should keep this channel alive. Kind comments like yours are what keeps me prodding forward.

[@hasancan]

for someone who will never be able to get a silencer, is threaded barrel a waste ?

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree about the threaded barrel; it's a waste unless unless you are going to "can" it. I am also not a fan of accessory rails. I am just not the "Tacticool" type.

[@hasancan]

@@RangeRoninChronicles thanks for reply.

[@MeCanik79]

Absolutely not. Not a waste at all. Most of my pistols have a threaded barrel, but I don't own a suppressor. It's not because I can't. I can have anything that I want where I live. However, I love compensators. I have several comps on my threaded barrels.

[@bushybwoy]

Definitely useful for compensators which are legal and need no additional ATF garbage.

[@desertedham37]

what a profoundly interesting video

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Profound, now that's something my reviews have never been called.

[@Bill-jv5eg]

Nice, but none of the Canik guns have manual safety……just my preference

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. I am aware that no Canik incorporates a manual safety, nor grip safety that I am aware of. The lack of external safeties is just as reference to those pistols of this type that do have external safeties; Springfield Armory XD and Smith & Wesson, for example.

[@Bill-jv5eg]

@@RangeRoninChronicles , yes, I do have a Springfield Armory XDS because of the grip safety

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

@@Bill-jv5eg Right there with you; XDs in 9mm and .45 ACP, and XDm's in 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 10mm. My XDe, however, does not have a grip safety but does have a thumb safety. It all depends on the pistol as to whether I prefer external safeties or not. There are some that I would not carry without an external safety of some sort.

[@kogasoldier9379]

Got a tp9 sc not long ago and let me tell you. It’s been the best firearm I’ve put in my holster…

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Indeed, the CANIK line is excellent!

[@johnnygonzalez9019]

I love my Canik and not being American made should not be an issue Glock is Austria Ford , chevy and Dodge components are also not made in USA! Century arms is a USA distributor as well! I own Canik and Toyotas. Quality is still Quality!

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I agree with you - quality is quality. Some of the finest firearms have come from Europe, but you can't discount those products coming from other countries that are also quality builds. We, firearm owners, have come to expect a high degree of quality for the firearms that we own - or want to own. The Canik is definitely a quality product.

[@ronstiles3298]

Love mine!!

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching. I am holding off giving this one back to my Son-in Law😁. Stay tuned to the channel for a review of the Walther PDP with Holosun optic, hopefully next week.

[@10ft5x3]

Luv mine too,wish it came in 10mm too!

[@10ft5x3]

Now if they'd make this in a 10mm we'd have an excellent powerhouse of a pistol.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

I'm with you on that! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great video, thanks

Does it cycle hollow points reliability?

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

Thanks for watching and for your question. Does it feed hollow points reliably? Yes, yes it does. The SFT Pro is boringly reliable - if you do your part.

[@allenhurst3176]

@@RangeRoninChronicles I loved it. Made me laugh. I am thinking about buying SFT Pro. Never had a Canik. Is the trigger too touchy or did you get used to it over time?

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

@@allenhurst3176 You would like the Canik SFT Pro. I really hated returning it to my son-in-law. The trigger did take a while to get used to. I am not all that familiar with flat-faced triggers and the SFT Pro's trigger is very nice once I got used to it. For the money, with what you get for your money, and how the pistol performs, I believe that the Canik SFT Pro would serve you well. But don't just take my opinion as a final word. If your LGS has one, fondle one, watch other videos reviews of it, and read other reviews of it before you make a decision. But I do think that you would be well-satisfied if you decided to purchase one. It is an impressive handgun. And by the way, thanks for taking the time to watch the review and commenting. Both help me keep growing the channel.
