End of last year I was dealing with the first time firearm buyers stress. I had basically settled on the G19 (as it seems to be the usual go to that everyone suggests) and was about a week away from finalizing my purchase. I ended up running into one of your canik SF videos and decided on the Mete SF. It was honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made. It runs smooth as butter and has an uncanny tendency to just shoot where you want it to (and I'm by no means an experienced shot).

Hey man just reading your post and I thought I'd mention I am also going thru the first time firearm buyer stress! I read up on the caniks and came across the Mete SF which I found to be amazing with everything it has to offer in a compact size pistol! I am finally settling down on the Mete SF and glad to have read your review. Not badly priced and my purpose for it would be an edc . I would just like your thoughts on how long have you had it and do you edc it? Also which holster are you using? Thinking about going the Shinobi AIWB holster. Thanks man

Canik anytime, any day. Few of my Glock friends are migrating to Canik after having shot one at the range. Glocks thrives on history but Caniks thrive on superiority 💯

Anything that gets more South African's interrested into becoming armed, safe and trained citizens is a pro. Canick can offer a lot for a lot less, but you're never going to beat the glock platform for aftermarket accessories, holsters, and their track record, simply because it's been there for a lot longer and their sales don't lie. As for what's better.... No amount of gear is going to beat training. The important part is that you are armed and that you know how to use it.

Canik are great guns I have two of them but I trust more the Glock. If there is gun I’d rather have when SHTF is a Glock. It’s years of experience ahead of the Canik that’s all. Even if the Canik is better. I can’t explain.

Nice one Ryan, another awesome video. Been watching you for a bit, and been interested in your Canik journey. My first handgun will be a Glock 17 Gen 4 (as I'm buying it from my bud who's emigrating), and will train off that base in the meanwhile. But am really interested in a Canik as my first compact. Keep up the good work, G.

Yo dude, remember Glock isn't a bad gun, that Glock is gonna server you extremely well. But if you should ever look at another option in the future, definitely give the Canik's a look.

@@greymanoperations Yeah for sure, didn't mean it to come across as though I'm not happy with the Glock. Just that what you get out of the box with Canik, and at the price point, is very impressive. So if I was buying brand new first time, it would be the Canik.

@greymanoperations So I am from Chicago, found your channel. I have a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS, honestly the OEM plates that came are trash. I went to install my holosun 507c and the OEM plate was bent and didn't sit flush with the slide. Better option would be to try C&H Precision their plates are better. Now I also own a Mete MC9 and a Mete SF, first question to the rear right hand side of the trigger guard there is a black portion, what is that? I don't have it on my Caniks. Second have you been able to successfully remove and reverse the screws postion on you Canik factory issued holsters? If so how did you do it, I am interested in using the factory Mete SF Canik holster for concealed carry. Keep up the good content.

How was it mounting the ACRO to the Canik? I have the acro and was going to buy Glock, but everything I read tells me I should do otherwise. Would be great to get some info on mounting the acro - as it is impossible to find online and none of the Canik mounting plates suit the acro. Thanks.

@@Veritas.is.7ru7h Glock = Citi Golf, basic. It works, no major changes featurewise for years. Minors tweaks between various models. Lots of accessories to make it better. Canick = Polo Tdi. Modern design and ergonomics. Out the box, better sights, trigger, ambi mag and slide release. Hope this helps.

Great review. I appreciate these kind of honest reviews, and as you said Canik has some ways to go reputationaly.. But you ran it and agree with it. My brother runs a Meta MC9 and I love it. Especially it's consealibility. But I love my CZ P10C... PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

Canik is great, great value for money and just plain good guns BUT one thing glock has that canik does not is bulletproof reliability. Caniks often have issues like the MC9’s well know failure to return to battery issue. If you are buying 1 gun that your life and the lives of your family is going to rely on, the reliability of a glock is worth a lot.
@marcgessner3836 ай бұрын
You beat me to it. Infact I saw this at a range recently and wasn't impressed. Brand new cleaned and lubed Mc9 wouldn't go into battery and would not cycle any type of Defensive ammo . I wanted one myself for edc but that put me off.

The 43 had jamming issues and fail to return too when they first came out. People had issues with the 19 as well this happens to every gun manufacturer not just Canik. NO arms manufacturers are perfect not even glock. I will agree the QC on the MC9 should have been way better but it's not relegated just to Canik
