Canik METE SFx

[@universeconsciouscitizensc592]

The Canik Elite Combat is my #1 pistol for anything, even concealed carry. It's simply a fantastic handgun with a perfect trigger, and the METE fixes the only minor flaw it has (optic cut rear-sight loss). Get one if you don't mind it's made in Turkey. Honestly, I own German, Israeli, Turkish, Slavic, and American firearms, and they all get along great!

[@CHEECHMUN]

[@joeparker54]

Does a rear sight really matter if the optic has one built in or optional addon? Basically anyone who isn't trijicon and vortex have started including a rear sight notch

[@atamanapa3741]

Turkey is a great country with great people. these pistols are built with Turkish honor. Turks are very patriotic For example it is forbidden to print the turkish flag on underwear or carpets or use the turkish flag as tablecloth. "every turk is born a soldier" parents teach this to their children

[@dongrimes108]

Turkey is a NATO member and fought alongside US troops during Korean War. They are also supplying Ukraine with the deadly drones causing havoc on the Russians. Canik's country of origin is not a problem for me as an old US Army Infantryman.

I hate these Canik videos. I don't want the secret out. Such a great line of affordable guns. My TP9SFX has the best stock trigger on a striker fired pistol I've ever felt.

Just put 300 rounds through it. Shoots like a laser. Stupid accurate. Was having some issues with returning to battery. But after cleaning and oiling and just breaking it in, it runs great without issue. Absolutely love it so far

[@erickvanjaarsveld9832]

Is the reason why it sometimes jam is because of a too tight recoil spring or is the spring too weak? I have a Canik Mete SFX, first time pistol owner. I believe most of the reason why it jammed in the beginning was due to incorrect grip. It does not happen that often since I bought it four weeks ago. I probably put 500 rounds through her so far.

[@ReubenOaks84]

I love my Canik TP9SFx, it is by far the best shooting pistol I own. The trigger on these pistols really are great compared to most stock triggers.

Oh yes, I concur Sir!!! Do you think the METE is a major advantage? I'm not seeing a BIG difference.

[@ShellShock794]

I've had my TP9SF for about 5 years now. Roughly 2,000 rounds through it and I think I've had 3 malfunctions. First two malfunctions were literally the first two shots out of the box and were magazine related and the 3rd was a FTE and was immediately after I mag dumped and threw the gun at the target as a joke lol. By far my favorite and best shooting pistol that I own and is the gun I trust the most

[@stevedriscoll2539]

You "threw" the gun at the target? 🤣🤣🤣

[@gonerydin4225]

We had a similar problem with our TP9SFC where it would not always go fully into battery. I contacted Century Arms about getting a stiffer recoil spring. They told me I actually needed a lighter spring and they sent me one. To my surprise, that did indeed fix the problem. Our other 2 Canik pistols have been good to go.

[@davidabernathy4553]

Canik makes a very good and reliable accurate pistol. I have owned the canik sfx 9 mm for 3 years now and have fired a estimated 3000 rounds through it with no problems and it is one of my favorite pistols to shoot. I have fired a lot of reloads as well with no problem and the accuracy is just right where you want it.

[@hartsickdisciple]

Canik TP9 and METE are some of the best striker-fired pistols on the market at any price. They're top quality. The build quality, features, performance, and fit & finish are on par with guns that sell for $500-700. The trigger is arguably the best on any stock striker-fired pistol on the market.

[@brianhall23]

[@exoticflavorsBulls]

Mete series of pistols is named in honor of Mete a Turkish military hero. Mete is credited for creating the world’s first army over 2,000 years ago. Mete is properly pronounced “met-a”. The name Meta is used as an abbreviation meaning: Most Effective Tactic Available.

[@goochma]

I haven't heard anybody say anything bad about this gun yet. I've got an older TP9SA that has never let me down. I'm really interested in this METE SFx. Canik is doing some good things. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. This METE SFx just might be it.

@@jasonsherman89 unfortunately that's just the pistol. I've been doing shooting matches with my CZ for the last few months. I've been kicking myself for not getting the optics ready version now, but I want to try a pistol with a red dot before I get my CZ machined for one. This seems like a good option for that. I'm kinda confused about the optic options for this Canik. I thought you could mount a Leupold Deltapoint Pro or Bushnell RXS250. I want a bigger red dot, rather than a tiny, expensive one like the Trijicon RMRcc. I've also been thinking about getting a 9mm PCC. And I want an action camera for the shooting matches. So many decisions, so little time!

[@calholli]

The regular SFX does take larger dots... but people wanted to be able to retain the rear sight for back up irons.. so they shrunk down the dot footprint on the mete... I bet if they would just do away with that long loaded chamber indicator, then it would have plenty of room for larger dots.

[@schneir5]

I think the Mete SFX does include one optic plate too, that has the Shield footprint, which is the same as the Leupold Deltapoint Pro and a few others, like those two Bushnell reflex sights. I've been shopping for a pistol red dot for a while, and the Deltapoint Pro is one of my top choices. Edit: I just read the description again, and it says: "NEW Optics-ready slide accept the the Trijicon RMRcc and Shield RMS/RMSc footprint micro optics". I thought that the Shield has a different footprint than the RMRcc, but I'm not sure.
