matt can fit a mack truck in that space between his palm and the grip on the gun

[@jamesblankenship5903]

I was thinking the same thing. His grip sucks.

[@omarrobbins5646]

That man out there shooting with one hand basically 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@AllAboutSurvival]

Great comparison between Canik and SAR USA pistols!

[@budgetgungeek9027]

is matt even gripping the guns? looks like they could fly outta his hand at any time. 🤣

[@lz_377]

After watching more I'm wondering if he has grip strength issues.

[@davidsawyer6003]

It seemed to me he had more of a revolver grip. All I could think while he was shooting was "hang on to the f---ing gun".

[@Allan215]

I was thinking the same thing...

[@infadelakainf]

It was damn near jumping out his hand. But in his defense he said he’s not a pistol shooter

[@oralreynolds3218]

Matt isn't holding the firearm especially when he is shooting the canik

[@Steelcity77]

Canik for sure, and the rival trigger can be put in any model. I have the rival trigger in my MC9 and it's phenomenal.

[@ronpetrin8481]

I might have to do that with mine

[@chiefurkan5819]

is it your CC gun?

[@Steelcity77]

@@chiefurkan5819 Yes it is.

[@Steelcity77]

@@ronpetrin8481 Just know it takes out all of the pre travel, it's still the same pull weight just breaks at 90° instead of at the back of the trigger guard.

[@jammbbs1688]

Freedomsmith trigger shoes are better

[@ivanvillacorta1599]

I have a Canik TP9 Combat Elite and a SAR 9 compact Gen3, and I love both.

[@keithwong7001]

Yes I was bummed the TP9 SC elite wasn't on the list. I think that would have been better than the Mete compact. The Mete compact feels more like a Sig p365 basic. The TP9 SC elite feels more like a glock 19 with the extended mag.

[@elitefirearmsnc2419]

Jason is a quiet giant. As soon as the gun is in hand, he assumes oneness and he and the gun become one force multiplier!! Good shooting fellas!!

[@edwardbiasi37]

Somebody please show that guy how to properly hold a hangun!

[@paulsanchez5873]

I’ve literally been looking for vs videos on these two manufacturers for a week now and y’all just made this video! Perfect timing and great video!

[@crushthequarter6863]

IMO from firing both - Canik has better trigger and is snappy. Sar-9 = better ergos and softer shooter. Both look good. I prefer the Sar9 over Canik.

[@lorriz9627]

"My gosh...I can't get a good grip with my hands on the MC9 and I am too lazy to spend 3 minutes installing the pinky extenders that come with the gun in the box on the 12 round magazine...."

[@georgepeak861]

Recently shot that gen 3 Sar 9C. I love Caniks but SARS feel so damn flat when you’re shooting. However they make their pistols, they did a great job 😂

[@jonathasmendoncanunes5980]

Having only been on the market for a short time, the Canik is already among the best pistols. Wait a little longer and you will see the impact this brand will have on the weapons market. Canik has perfect pistols.

[@kevinyoung9034]

SAR vs CZ sounds phenomenal!

[@rokarz76]

Cz shoots 1000 rounds through their barrels to break them in. Sar does not. Not a fair comparison unless the Sar gets broke in first. Plus 600+ $price difference at all metal levels.

[@generalmandalore1366]

The 2nd comparison would've been better with the METE SFT and not the bottom of the Canik barrel SF model.

[@danielreeves6485]

I have the SF. It's just as great as my SFX.

[@erikn8897]

@@danielreeves6485 I like my SF a lot. Almost as much as my SFx. 😁

[@danielreeves6485]

@erikn8897 yes sir. Looking at a 300 Win mag for my next purchase. Not that I need it lol.

[@ronaldziajka3637]

The mete line should have been in there. To make this a fair comparison.

[@Balticblue93]

The Mete SF and Mete SFT have the same triggers. The SFT Pro is the Rival version of the trigger and much different. I love them all, but the SF is basically the Glock 19 of the Canik product line. Perfect size and no need for the MC9 or the Elite SC. But I rarely carry any of my Micro 9's like the 43x, MC9, P365 unless it is the XL or Spectre Comp.

[@saltiorama]

The Sar K12 is a Tanfoglio clone. Tanfoglio copied the CZ 75 during the Cold War and developed it separately over the years, eventually producing very popular and successful competition guns. CZ returned the favor w/ the Shadow and Tactical Sports guns.

[@oddballgunman5288]

The P8L is my favorite of the Steel frames mainly because of the ported barrel. It would be awesome if they put out a gen 3 of the K12 optics ready and a 1913 rail! Maybe someone can influence them to create perfection at an affordable price. I've got the 2000 model with custom CZ G10 grips and the Galloway Precision trigger spring kit and it shoots almost as good as the Shadow 2.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

I own a SAR USA B6 semi auto pistol and I love it. I had been in the market for a hammer fire pistol for a while and the price was right for under $400 when I bought it at Dunhams a couple years ago. Full size pistol for less than the original CZ75 it was copied from just can't beat it and it yeets the brass a good distance behind me.

[@travis42sb]

I use the B6c as my EDC, and I absolutely love it!

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

@@travis42sb Mine fits in my Beretta M12 holster and one of the holsters I have for my S&W SD9VE and a M7 and M3 USGI leather shoulder holsters.

[@iGame2A]

I have a canik mc9 and I can definitely relate to the shooting experience. Might go get a SAR to replace it as my EDC.

[@tonycariaga2176]

I have the Sar Socom non-threaded Barrel black and it's been excellent no issues at all and very accurate and comfortable to shoot. I would highly recommend this pistol especially at the price point and what it comes with..💯

[@mattsheltz1]

Man I love this channel!! My favorite to watch hands down

[@Duck_Boi556]

Im gonna go with SAR, I own a SAR 9 and its the best striker fired pistol I've shot

[@josemato6351]

Great Video. I’ve been a Canik shooter for a very long time and have a few. However, I have heard of SAR pistols and just recently picked one up in 45ACP (SAR K2 45C). Fell in love with it. It’s very well balanced and can shoot lights out. I just ordered an SAR P8L this past week (before seeing this video) and it arrives tomorrow. Looking to see how it compares to my Canik Elite Combat (my favorite).

[@brandonwoodley5198]

Canik mete SF is a game changer, compared to earlier model.

[@bagmech]

I think Jason was much better than Matt at reviewing these handguns and giving a perspective on them.

[@latenightvibes9213]

I LOVE THE AMOUNT OF CONTENT YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING OUT! I love you guys really good energy from Kaya and Jason you guys are the best

[@JTSterr]

Recoil rod/spring design has an impact on recoil impulse. The standard SAR9 has a two-spring design like the XP series and halfway to the DPM aftermarket systems. If you don't mind adding $100 to the cost of the Canik, you can probably get the recoil to feel equal or better.

[@isidrosevier1125]

Maybe we need a SAR usa TTI collaboration, or maybe Sar just needs to make a competitor to the tti combat.

[@davidabbott7270]

I own a sar USA and my wife owns a Canik. We both love both firearms. We love the Dual sided rail release on The Canik. Other than that to me the Sar USA is a little bit better when it comes to handling of different types of ammunition. Because we both noticed when we were at the range using the training ammunition if you will the cheap ammunition the Canik had a higher Jam rate then the Sar USA. Other than that they are very close we both own a I believe it's the 4-in model so again over all they are very close, they're very good it's just that one issue that we notice.

[@wejones426]

I'll bet those HK p30/vp9 grips did feel good on the SAR😂

[@rokarz76]

Out of box canik takes it, but sarsilmaz has very well built handguns for their price point, I'm a personal fan of their p8L . Sar recommends 200 to 500 round break in period for their barrels, they have one of the hardest barrels in the industry. For 600$ they offer all metal lifetime guns... not a lot of other folks doing that in semi auto high capacity. Also canik in my opinion has the best package as far as in box presentation, they give you everything but ammo for less than a basic glock 19 price.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

The mc9 should have had the pinky extension baseplate on the 12 rounder, I have no idea why they even include the non pinky extension.

[@michaelmunoz2524]

Have both. 👍👍

I just picked up a Canik METE MC9 today and I love it no REGURTS!!!

I was looking for a comment on that. Thought it was just me for a minute.

[@AlirAlbayrak]

I’d time travelled and couldn’t get it for a while :D then realized its just a small part

[@Bryan-1689]

Good video and comparison. Matt shooting pistol is interesting and think some of his recoil control is a better grip with his support hand. But great to get his point of view coming in as a less experienced pistol shooter. Jason is spot on, trigger is one of my things as well, give me a good trigger and I can deal with most of the rest. Honestly though I have no comparison as I have shot all the Caniks but the Rival-S and not had a chance to shoot the SARs as you just do not see them where I am at. Would love a chance to shoot the sub-compact to compare to the MC-9 as I have 2 of them and shoot them well. And Jason, change out the trigger on the MC9 to a Fat Daddy or Fat Daddy 2 from Freedomsmith and it makes a big difference, at least to me.

[@oddballgunman5288]

I honestly love my SAR 2000!

[@bryanroberts]

Gen 3 vs gen 1... night sights vs white... extended mags and not extended... guys??? How was this a fair comparison for either company?

[@azizbadalov9972]

MC9, METE SFT PRO, SFx Rival-S aren't 1st generation.

[@ericbergfield6451]

I like these comparison videos, keep 'em coming

[@randabuffer6562]

The one guy must have butter on his hands, not gripping it at all lol

[@MichaelVarlotta]

Why does Clint rarely do any 'group" videos with the rest of the team? Most of the videos with him are solo at his "ranch".

[@danefuentes3877]

Because it generates so many comments like this one. The bust your builds series' have proven that. :)

[@adrielmartinez26]

No wonder matt sticks to ARs he cant grip a pistol to save his life.😅

[@Hollerboy931]

Idk how the guns don’t fly out of Matt’s hands lol

[@Gr74veshoota]

I think it would have a little better comparison if they had the mete sf versus the sar instead of the older model

[@kennystilson7113]

Oh yeah, CANIK! TP9SFX BABY! It's not for you sista!

[@Keithjmcc]

This is a perfect comparison. Good job, fellas.

[@ron8566]

I thought Canik had the best triggers in the business? What happened with that?

[@whatiwant8898]

They're trying to sell the SARs lol. You look at their past videos with Caniks and they say the triggers are some of the best everytime. It's always like this with a comparison with them since they want to sell their newest products.

[@tradedate]

Canik flat triggers like on the Rival shoot way better than you may expect from an out the box pistol at that price point. And you can install them in many of the other models that come with curved triggers.

[@craigslue]

So is there any difference between all the Sar gen 3 and Socom triggers? I think I read somewhere the Socom has a lighter trigger pull?

[@kaybee2810]

I carry the Sar 9 SC Gen2 having bought the Dagger Micro 3 weeks prior to getting the Sar 9 SC Gen 2. I can honestly say I haven't carried or used the Dagger Micro sense. I also like the fact that the Gen2 can take the SAR9 full size mags (17) rounds.

[@KStenta93]

I’ve never shot a SAR but I’d like to try. I have a Canik TP9 Elite SC and it feels really good imo

[@swimDad66]

I have the SFX Pro and love the trigger but experienced similar issues with shooting it suppressed with some failures to eject. Would love to try the SAR Socom.

[@budgetgungeek9027]

Canik for the win, better trigger by far and many more models to select from, only thing Sar wins in feel in the hand, i like the finger grooves,and 45 acp, Canik doesn't make one. i have 2 sars sar-9 k245c, i own 3 caniks, tp9sfx, tp9sf, tp9sf elite, and also a tristar (canik) T-120 which is my favorite pistol i own, so I say Canik Wins

[@davidsawyer6003]

I had a SAR a few years ago and the trigger sucked. I would like to try the Gen 3 though. Can you get holsters for the SARs?

[@rodgerm5311]

I have the older Sar9 full size and now the Sar9 Compact Gen 3, and I can tell you the triggers are very different now. Exceptional triggers now and with the slide cuts it is beautiful with low recoil and low muzzle rise. I love it. As far as holsters, they will both fit the same holster.

[@alansimmons9744]

Great video guys, Canik is more popular but Sar is a natural shooter. You can pick up a Sar 9 and just shoot well because it's ergos are almost perfect. I have owned both and I prefer my Sar 9 Gen 1, if I wanted to just grab and shoot without thinking about it, also it has been 100 percent reliable.
