Sig P365 vs Canik MC9: Micro Compact Pistol Comparison

[@matthewcranfill4414]

Own many Sigs, Kimbers, and Smith and Wessons and just bought a Canik Mete and I am so glad I did. Very accurate, easy to carry, great capacity, and easy to maintain. 500 rounds with no jams nor misfires. Canik is going to be my choice moving forward and they cost significantly less than the other brands I generally buy.

I carry the Canik Elite SC, which is the big brother to the MC9, and I absolutely love how controllable it is, due to weight and barrel length. Id recommend Canik to any responsible carrier.

[@philvilardi6461]

Another great review! I'm a Sig guy (have a P320XC and a P226) but found the p365 a bit too small for my hand. I picked up the Canik MC9 at my local FFL. The sales guy there just handed it to me and said try the trigger. I was sold. For me, the MC9's ergonomics fit me much better and I really shoot that firearm well.

[@DelThompson]

I now own both the Canik MC9 and the Sig P365. I've owned the P365 for over a year and it is my main carry gun. I think the 365 with a 12 round mag is the perfect size for me. Now that I've had the MC9 for a month or so and have run several boxes of ammo through it, I agree that it is easier to shoot and easier to hit with. I need to put more rounds through the MC9 before I depend on it but I hope it checks out and if so, I will be adding it to my everyday carry. I have put in a lot of practice with the P365 and it took me longer than I had hoped to become proficient with it. That doesn't detract from the pistol, I think it is a wonderful sidearm. Thanks again for your excellent review!

[@markofmckinney941]

I pocket carry my P365 so the slight size difference would matter more to me. I haven’t had a chance to shoot the Caniks, but expect they are great from your reviews. I’m pleased and confident with my P365. All in all, we are fortunate to have such great options and great reviews like yours! Thank you!

[@BBSquared-SteelChallenge]

Love the MC9, it’s my second Canik

[@tjohnson9051]

I went with the MC9 kit for 419.00. It looks the same as yours and came with a 12 and 15 round mag and a nice holster which can be made for inside or outside the waist carry. I was pleasantly surprised at how really good this gun is. I added Tritium night sights to mine as it is my carry gun and my night time on the stand next to me gun. I like the ease of removing the slider for maintenance. Canik has a number of parts and accessories on it's website to purchase which is where I got the night sites. I am totally satisfied with this choice.

[@zues287]

Have you had any malfunctions? I know people had issues with a recoil spring and extractor springs that were too strong. I've been thinking about buying one for my Mom, but would rather her not have too many issues with her first gun.

[@hellothere7946]

[@TravelersChosen]

My first gun that I bought about a year ago was the Canik TP9 SC(sub compact). Great feeling gun to shoot but it’s a little big for concealed carry. Saw the MC9 and I’ve been real excited to get my hands on it.

[@siah5593]

bought a p365 for $499 new at my local outfitter. Absolutely love it especially for summer time carry. Because Sig's modularity I bought a 365X grip, upgraded to the flat trigger and bought an X Macro 17 round Mag as a back up. Having the base 365 for the ultimate conceal with a 10 rounder is nice to be able to switch to. Eventually I'll grab an XL Slide and barrel and then later a X Macro Grip. I'll have three guns that you can change parts out on and only have 1 gun thats registered. Love it

[@PeeJayBrownJr]

I'm at 2500 rounds in my MC9 without one issue and is my EDC. Absolutely love it.

[@kobudo]

@@marvnation924I actually tested the MC9 vs Shield Plus by renting them at the range. Shield Plus had a little more snap, I liked the trigger in the Canik more. Ultimately the plethora of issues with the MC9 returning to battery and how much the frame flexed in my hand convinced me to go with the Shield Plus. Unfortunately after buying the Shield Plus, it tried to shake the locking block pin out after 100 rounds. Smith wanted it back for warranty, I have no idea what they did, but when I got it back I started having failures to feed. So I would recommend the MC9 instead, or get a Glock 48 (or a 43x if you want to stay short) like I did. It carries well, shoots straight, and runs perfectly.

The factory iron front sight is a bit big and blocky but I swapped them out and now have a smaller excellent co-witness. 12 rounds of Liberty Civil Defense ammo helps over weight issue a bit as I also have a Valkyrie mini 2 light on her. 👍🏼

Great content as always, much love from Texas!

[@beli4780]

Interestingly I am 6'4 with long fingers but the P365 fits my hands great for such a small gun. I don't know what witchcraft SIG used, but P365 shoots incredibly accurately and doesn't recoil as much as I was expecting. I own multiple handguns, most of which are full size and wasn't expecting to shoot so good with a micro compact. I live in Florida and wanted something that I can easily conceal under the t-shirt so I went with standard P365. Anything bigger that that wouldn't do the job for me. If I had to buy a concealed gun now I would go again with the P365.

Good comparison. I'm shooting both of these pretty well. In both cases, I was surprised how accurate both guns were from the very first magazine. I think for those who want night sights, the P365 is a no brainer. If you're a trigger snob, the MC9 is a no brainer. At the end of the day, I don't have to work near as hard with the MC9 for tight groups, while the P365 requires just a tiny bit more concentration. I love them both equally.

[@feliksdz4208]

are you afraid of upgrading your P365 trigger? I didn't, but maybe your local armorist will do it for a large fee

[@marvinmyers9367]

Everyone should be a trigger snob. A bad trigger can make a bad shooter even worse. A great trigger, which every Canik has from the factory, won't make a bad shooter better, but it will definitely not make them worse. I like both guns. As a certified Sig Armorer, I can make a Sig trigger much better. The Canik, I don't have to touch. Out of the box, the Canik walks circles around the 365.

[@nightfox9]

Just did this purchase comparison last weekend in my local FFL, armed at least partially with info from your past videos. While the Canik felt slightly better in hand and definitely has a better trigger, ultimately I went with the p365 due to the huge accessory and aftermarket support it has behind it.

[@timconrad2585]

Something rarely mentioned when reviewing the sig is that the grip length can be different by changing the mag. I have an xl with a standard 365 grip and at work I use the 10 round mag because it is super concealable. But in jeans and a t shirt I wear the 12 round. If I have a hoodie I can throw in the 17 round mag. I like the option of having a super small gun or a 17 round gun and it be the same exact gun. I don't have to have different guns that I have to train with depending on the setting. I have one gun that can be as small or as big as I want and all it takes is putting in the appropriate magazine. Having one gun that could fit any concealed carry situation was important for me.

[@ryanh2479]

I've tried so many different carry pistols but I always seem to come back to the 365.

[@markoehler2752]

I have the P365XL & it is by far my favorite for carry. I’m not a huge 9mm fan, I prefer something with a bit more, like 40 or 357Sig. But, for a concealed carry, I love my XL, and what I love most about it is that it fits my hand perfectly, like a custom made gun for my hand. That being said, I’m not a real big guy (5’10 180) and my hands aren’t huge. I don’t know much about Canik but it looks like Sig Sauer may finally have some real competition! As far as I’m concerned, Sig makes the finest weapons in the world, but I might have to check into getting a Canik or two. On another note, thank you! Thanks for being real, & providing true & honest content & information. Unfortunately, that’s hard to find these days, so believe me, you are appreciated! Keep it up, & FJB! 😝

[@Rubeless]

So if a bigger caliber is better, why not 44mag… If a 9mm goes through your heart, game over. If a whatever caliber you think is better goes through your heart, are you more dead? If either round goes through your lungs(which is more the case) you will have a hole in your lungs. Do you think trauma surgeons can tell the difference between 9/40/10/357 wounds? They can’t and it doesn’t matter. We are not gel blocks.

[@markoehler2752]

@@Rubeless no, never said bigger was better, simply expressing my preference for something with more energy than 9mm (IE 40, 357, 45, yes 44 mag) I don’t want to get shot with a pellet gun lol, but if I’m in a situation I want some serious stopping power on my side. That being said, 9mm is a good option considering gun size, conceal ability, mag capacity, etc. shot placement is key. If I have all my guns laid out in front of me in my living room though, & someone breaks in my house, I’m not grabbing my 9. Or my 380, which I have due to the tiny size of the gun (LCP). I’ll likely grab my favorite gun- my P226 in 357 Sig. You can have a BB gun if you want, but it’s really okay for us all to have different opinions lol.

[@Rubeless]

Grabbing a pistol over a rifle shows your ignorance. No such thing as stopping power. Dudes get hit with 300wm and keep running. You either hit something that matters or they keep shooting back. Definitely gonna miss a month after the pain kicks in. The 226 was made for the military and police needs, hence amateurs with poor gun skills. Get some real education and experience.

[@markoehler2752]

@@Rubeless Dude- calm down- seriously WTF? Why you trying to start an argument over my preference for handguns? Why would you even care about my opinion? And why would you think I care about yours? 🤣 I’m an idiot because I would choose a handgun over a rifle???🤣🤣 that doesn’t even make sense as it’s completely irreverent to the conversation- where is this coming from? This video (and my opinion) aren’t even talking about rifles! We are talking about handguns. Your assumption that I have no education or experience is simply you getting defensive about something you know nothing about. In fact I’m very well educated on the subject of ballistics, and have 30 years experience in the business. So, let me rephrase my comment so you may understand it better… take rifles, hand grenades, rocket launchers, F22 Raptors, & even shotguns out of the equation- if I’m sitting in my living room and I have 2 guns within reach, that both happen to be handguns, one is chambered in 9mm & the other in 357Sig, & someone breaks into my house, I’m grabbing the 357 because it is (ballistically proven to be) a more powerful round. It’s as simple as that- that’s all I’m saying. That being said, for concealed carry, I favor my P365 because it’s smaller, lighter, & more concealable, & 9mm is a decent round. Not my favorite, but decent. There are guns, handguns & rifles alike, chambered in many different calibers because none of them are a “one size fits all solution”, and they all have strengths & weaknesses, pros & cons. Even more to the point, people, like you & me, have differing opinions on their preference of firearms and guess what- that’s okay! You carry what you want & I’ll carry what I want, there’s really no need to go around trying to start an argument because someone expressed an opinion that’s different than yours. The whole idea of this video, and thousands more like it, is to get solid information out there & help folks understand the differences & limitations of guns. And to help them make decisions on what is right for them. It’s supposed to be fun & informative & allow people, through the use of the comments section to ask questions, express opinions, share experiences etc. It’s arrogant, obnoxious people like you with a know it all attitude that ruin it for the rest of us. Feel free to express your opinion, and by all means, help educate others in the safe & proper use of firearms, but seriously, there’s no need to be confrontational and try to argue with people over their personal preferences. If you would like to educate yourself more on the subject of ballistic science, the Oehler Research model 35P is the very best ballistic chronograph on the market, but we do offer less expensive models that are very good too. Have a good day, & please note that I have much more important things to do than further this futile conversation, so feel free to express your opinions on guns, ammo, anything you like, but if you are just looking for someone to insult & argue with, keep looking because I’m not wasting any more of my time-

[@TheJHMAN1]

I put a Red dot on my TP9 Elite SC, and your right it huge difference. If I don't have my glasses on I can still see the dot.

[@franky7120]

just purchased a p365. without a doubt the best feel ive had with a pistol from the ones ive held in hand. With that being said, i do plan on doing some upgrades. that was also taken into account when purchasing as the p365 has so much customizability

[@oceandmike]

Great content! Thank you, Outlaw!

[@sirosis1971]

Just bought the MC9, it came with a red dot too. I'm really diggin it and I can use my TP9SA mags in it as well. Great purchase in my opinion.

[@elitesless1539]

Got the black mc9 with the macanik red dot on it and it felt good and shot accurate but the slide failed to lock back a couple times. I only have a couple hundred rounds through it but that took me by surprise. I already bought it so here’s hoping it works itself out.

[@KinetikES]

You may be riding the slide lock lever. Move your thumb out a hair.

[@mtnmann72]

I am fortunate to own both. Love the trigger on the Canik and the Sig gets attention as well.

[@MrSmith-zy2bp]

I rented a p365 at a local range and was shocked at how accurate it was. Considering I have large hands and there's nothing a support hand hold can help. If I bought one, I'd go with a P365X for just a little more length in the grip.

[@luckymanham302]

I own the 365x with Wilson Combat grip module and Holosun 407k 6MOA green dot and it’s damn near perfect. You’ll be happy with one

[@diesdodgerblue]

Nothing is more accurate for a tiny gun the the p365.

[@DeusRegum]

That's what I ended up doing. I can't believe I was just as accurate with the P365 as I am with my PDP-F. Of course the PDP-F feels better and easier, but the accuracy is still the same which I found amazing.

Great video. Bought a Mete MC9 LS last week.

[@jason91notch]

I’ve had 2 p365s, (one was a SAS, that was a joke), and both of them had massive jam issues. My MC9 has been perfect through 1500 rounds. I know my experience is anecdotal though. Lots of excellent P365’s out there.

[@TTime685]

Sig is probably the most overrated brand out there..

[@Rubeless]

It’s always guys that don’t shoot that rave about sig. they make good guns, but to say they are far better than other brands is crazy. The 226 is their holy grail and the reason they chose it, “because the seals did”. Again, they can’t think for themselves. SA/DA guns were designed for amateurs per military police needs.

[@onleejune8646]

The Canik mete mc9 is my favorite. Shoots great came with everything holster and all. Very impressive

[@Holl.Mvrk.]

I personally went with the MC9 due to ergonomics and the trigger. I went to a handful of different LGS and held all the P365 variants, HC pro and MC9 multiple times to really see which one I liked more. I have no real complaints about the MC9 besides wishing the grip texture carried all the way up. I’m 1700 rounds in on it and have only had one failure which was a light primer strike, so could’ve been ammo related and not even the fun. I still find myself wanting the HC pro though hahaha so I have a feeling it’ll make its way into the safe soon 🤙🏼😁

[@heavyjmertes197]

Great video, Team Outlaw! Best darn review channel on the Tube!

[@cnclife2739]

Love the canik. I ran into feed issues after 850 rounds. I changed recoil spring and it fixed the issue. But the problem came back after an additional 1200 rounds.

[@indycharlie]

Wow !! Hope HO see's this !!

[@atranimecs]

I keep hearing this and its worrisome.....I was psyched about this gun and wanted to purchase but stayed away because I wanted something out of the box. I have a friend who is a gunsmith that works at a shop he told me this is what he has done to his: -Recoil spring issue is a stock spring that overlaps itself, replace it. - Magazine release finishing issue where excess plastic snags where the magazine locks in and needs to be de-burred. (can cause feeding issues or magazines that don't drop on release) -Polishing the ramp and the circumference of the feeding chamber will de-burr them -Battery timing issues are from not de-burring the frame slides, polish/remove burrs..... My own conclusion after he told me this and his is that they do not consistently sand/polish finish the burrs off the gun after the cuts in production (come on QC)....there maybe be better copies of the gun out there but I've heard a lot about these problems.

[@lampshadesoapmaker678]

How does the canik differ from the PPQ SC? I feel like the SC is one of the most underrated guns of all time.

[@oskar6661]

Both the Canik and the Sig are "micro-9's" as opposed to the "sub-compact" range of handguns which include the PPQ SC, Glock 26, etc. They're both significantly lighter/thinner than the PPQ SC.

[@dwaynechristensen6449]

I Traded my 365 in. For The Hellcat. But Own several Canicks. Bought the MC9. As soon as it was Available. Excellent Carry Option.

[@coderexe30]

Love my P365. I was shocked at how well it shoots for being a micro-compact. Its very carry-able, and I also love the sights. Bonus is I like the looks better than the Canik. Downside is the price point on the Sig.

[@steammccracken2500]

How do you find the trigger?

@@coderexe30 Yeah, I put in the 2nd to top Ghost trigger in my G26, so it’s very good. I’ll only accept a long trigger in a revolver or my P32. I’ve never had a sub9 like the 365

[@donaldmcnulty]

I really enjoyed your comparison of the two finds. I previously had a CZ p10c, which i traded on for a p365. I liked the CZ, but it was hard to conceal carry. I bought the p365 today, and i went to the range , and found the gun to be very accurate. I think it was a good purchase.

[@BobSmith-ve8sw]

I find the P365 shoots like a much larger gun. The Wilson Combat grip module is an excellent addition to make that even more so. Both guns are quality choices.

[@noahbitz2878]

Thanks for all the great information! I just picked up a mc9 last week and it's a great little pistol.

[@thaneds]

MC9 shoots amazingly well for the size... it is very comparable to the M&P shield if not identical in size. Return to dot with a 507k is easy and quick. It is my pick. Only wish more companies made light bearing holsters for it.

[@loudfastfood2625]

You can’t just point your gun at someone. They can see you but you can’t see them? By the time you identify the guy coming at you with a weapon, game over. Hand held light for concealed carry. I know it’s a cool factor for you guys that have ever even been in a fist fight. All good bud, carry a light.

[@rileycooper8478]

Found a deal on a 365 and scooped it up. It does take some range time to get used to the small size. After 300-400 rounds I'm impressed how accurate it can be.

Every amateur says that “it’s accurate” wow, it’s accurate at 10 yards. All modern quality guns are accurate, people wouldn’t buy them if not.

[@BrendanBrown1]

Considering that the MC9 has had some out-of-battery issues from a few reviewers, I would go with a 365 cause the kinks have been worked out by now. Maybe a year or two from now, as long as the complaints subside, the better bang for your buck would for sure be the MC9.

[@keithwatkins2643]

What do you mean by out of battery?

[@NoodleMcGee]

@@keithwatkins2643 Long answer: In this case, battery is being used in it's "sequence or process" sense, with out of battery meaning that something goes wrong with the events that have to happen for a firearm to be fired, eject the spent casing, and return to a fireable state. Short answer: usually it means the slide doesn't return to where it's supposed all the time so the gun won't fire. Very short answer: trigger yes, bang no; problem.

[@roberts3993]

i really think the guntubers got cherry picked versions of the mc9, as i've had all of the issues reported by others, failure to feed, failure to eject, failure to return to battery, dead trigger and magazines that no longer drop free because the mag well plastic is too thin and warps pinching the mags.

[@Faithfps]

@@roberts3993 I'm not a guntuber and the only issue I've had with my mc9 is that their 12 round magazine has 1 less loop on the spring in the magazine making it not always lock back after last round with a taylorfreelance +4 magazine extension. I got one as soon as it came through my gun store when it released.

[@MarcusWilliams]

@@roberts3993 I have not had any of those issues except for the mags not dropping. Over 1000 rounds through so far.

[@alfonsobenitez8574]

I just bought the Canik MC9 Mete at the end of September 2024. I polished the ramp, and cleaned like I usually do when I buy a new gun. Shot a total of 340 rounds including hollow points of 115 grains and 124 grains, also fmj. I believe Canik corrected any issues that a few people may have had, I only have my right arm and another thing I like is that the rear sight is flat and I have been practicing racking the slide on my belt. I also like the idea that I can use the 18 rounds magazines from my other Canik TP9SF. I will break it in with another 700 rounds before I put my carrying gun, a Kimber Ultra Carry II 45 ACP back in my gun safe.

[@NoodleMcGee]

Much like Classic Firearms' P320 vs Echelon pointed out, tbe problem is that there are enough P365 submodels to compare it to that the Canik is going to be better than the base but worse than others. Also, rust comment.

[@davidmcgahan5328]

I have both i love the canik trigger it's awesome but it felt like it was going to break my knuckle on my thumb. It got so beat up i had to stop shooting it. So now i carry my p365xl with wilson-combat grip and I love it.

[@allbee83]

Great video and two really, really good guns. The Sig p365 was and still is the best micro ever made to this point (IMO). The Canik is fantanstic and a great gun and on a very short list on best micro's IMO. If I didnt have the Sig, I'd prob be wanting the Canik or Hellcat. Tip top with any of these.

[@johnski1969]

I bought the mc9 because your review..very happy with it..thanks

[@davidabernathy4553]

This is a interesting video and a very interesting comparison. I have been a huge Canik fan for a very long time. The Canik line of pistols is one of the best values out there for a high quality pistol. However, the p365 is a very capable and sound concealed carry pistol. I personally carry the sig p365 XL because I get just a little bit longer grip and it gives me a better purchase with my hands. I would have no reservation whatsoever at carrying the Canik.

Crazy how Canik is now competing with sig - 2 years ago it wasn't even a thought. That said, I've been buying all the cheap Tukish guns I can find, and most of them are extraordinary. The RIA TM22 and Ermox X Fire are formidable examples.

[@adenbolin2761]

Canik beats them across the board (striker fired vs striker fired). I was a fan of SIGs until I had the 365 and 2 320s (XCompact, X5 Legion). It was very frustrating to have to put several more hundred dollars into each one of them to make them acceptable sidearms. Meanwhile, all 3 Caniks (TP9SFX, MC9, Rival) consistently outperformed them across the board. I was relieved when i was able to sell the Legion and 365 w/o losing much money. I only kept the XCompact to forego a huge loss.

Excellent comparison, but for a fairer comparison, I think that the P365X (with its standard 12 round mag, expandable to 14 with a Magguts =2 kit) would have been better since it's size is more comparable and overcomes some of the minor negatives you pointed out with the plain (original) P365. And yes, my EDC is the P365X (which I upgrade from the earlier P365).
