The Internet's Wrong Again! Canik MC9

When this review came out, some reviewers were saying the MC9 is a "fail." There was some dog piling on the MC9 (just like when the Sig P365) came out. Uh huh.
Well here's some rebuttal in defence of the MC9 and my bold prediction on how successful it will be. The crew and I tested the MC9 and came away impressed...like immediately. We'll talk about some of the ridiculous testing protocol some click baiter 'reviewers' use to draw your attention (and this works btw). Then we deliver a real review and talk about what we found out.
Also integrating for the first time are data from my TNP Patreon clubhouse (join below). I will use this on occasion to add to my own data. I've known many of these guys for years and years and I trust their information.
TacticalDoodle and I cover the MC9 accuracy, reliability, firepower, color & coming special editions, sights, grip, the still xlnt competitive options, and much more. Kinda' how watching a mountain bike crash is more interesting that click bait gun "testing."

I have the 2-tone Canik Mete MC-9 it's been a great CCW workhorse! I was in the USAF as a CATM Instructor/Security Forces Craftsman for 15 years (1991-2006) and did a ton of pistol shooting, trading, carrying for duty! Surprisingly, this little pistol shoots like a bigger pistol! Usually, smaller compacts/subcompacts kick pretty good, but this one seems to take up the recoil. It's well balanced. I carry with the 15 rounder and use the 12 rounder as the spare mag. Thanks for your service to our country TNP! 🙏✝️🇺🇸🕊️

Salute! I'm a father of 3 so I only get one right tool for the right job, so my daily is a Shield Plus. So I recently picked up the TP9 Elite SC for my winter carry (can get away with a bigger gun more capacity). Took it to the range and as beautiful to shoot as it is to look at.

It makes to no sense to buy a gun with a dubious track record of reliability, when there is a tidal wave of similar guns with excellent reliability - Shield Plus, G43/43X/48, Ruger Max 9, P365 and many more.

Check out my "short" on it, it's like 1min long and it's just me shooting steel with it. My TP9SFX Rival has been completely reliable and I've shot the piss outta that gun. I'm still a Glock guy but Canik is really winning me over.

I got lucky and won both the canik MC9 and the IWI masda 9Slim… both are very comparable in size and trigger pull… both have optic cuts. I enjoy shooting both, I ultimately carry the IWI dude to a little more comfortable in my medium size hands.. love caniks tho!! Original Glock fan here.

I bought two of them in black at bass pro! They fit very well and really make the grip feel 100 times better. You will see for yourself!

[@DougJames-ym9qf]

My EDC for the past 5 years has been Sig’s P365. Flawless operation without any issues after 1,000 plus rounds down the pipe. Bought a two-tone Mete MC9 last week. First time at the range resulted in 8 failures to fire in the first 125 rounds. Light primer strikes, nose of the FMJ ball ammo rounds that didn’t fire were damaged in the process. Various brands and weights of ammo. 115 and 124 FMJ as well as 147 JHP with random failures across all types. Contacted Canik and they asked for more info and photos then responded with a return label asking that I send it back for warranty service. Hoping for the best at this point. We’ll see how it goes. Would not recommend at this point.

[@thetjdrummer789]

Nutn’s prediction is right. Been trying to find a daily carry piece for the wife for a while. She doesn’t like the controls on my 43x, so I tried putting a plethora for 365 variation in her hand and she didn’t like any of them. Was at a gun store today and saw the MC9, put it in her hands and she loved it. Walked out the door with it and a 507k to match 🤘🏻

I had bought one about 2 weeks ago from a local gun show. I have not fired any live rounds with it yet just been practicing with the aiming and sight coordination with my Stikeman Lazer practice set. About to shoot it this weekend with live rounds with 124 gr. That is what the guy at the gun show said to use for the first couple of boxes to loosen up the springs. Also take it apart and wipe the factory grease off of it and clean it well then oil with your standard oil you normally use. That will help with any jamming issues you might have. I will post a report after I shoot this weekend. It feels awesome! I am shooting average of 9's in a round of 20 shots at 15 to 20 yards with laser. Great for guys with smaller hands that want that 9mm with a good feel. I got the METE MC9 TWO-TONE.

[@ronolson2024]

Nice review. Have yet to buy a Canik and have heard nothing but greatness from the larger Caniks. Reviews are mixed on the MC9 and is the same size & weight as the Shield Plus. As my PC Shield Plus with its ported 4" barrel with fiber optic sights is one of my most accurate pistols, I feel there is no need to experiment on an iffy pistol. I was thinking about buying another 3.1" Sheild Plus as I could use the extra mags when shooting IDPA or ASI. I happen to love the loaded chamber indicator (have it on my Ruger SR9C, another fantastic, durable, reliable, & soft shooting pistol) as it is not only an indicator, but it also removes the open peep hole which carbons up your red dot window as it does on my Shield Plus, plus the fact the dot sits right over the breech face. I have found the red dot is useless on my Shield Plus, so I put it on my P365XL. The Shield plus is very accurate because of the nice crisp trigger along with my favorite fiber optic sights. Only my Springfield Ronin Elite 1911 in 10mm is as accurate, most likely because it too has a fantastic trigger with fiber optic sights.

I got into pistol shooting with a TP9 SFX (2019). The only time I have ever had problems with it are when 1) I had not cleaned my gun after 1000 plus rounds and 2) I was reloading my 9mm with a very low powder charge. I have over 8000 rounds through that pistol now and it still runs great.

I really like mine, it’s my everyday carry weapon. I have experienced failures to return to battery and dead trigger issues early on. Canik’s customer service is second to none, however and treated each of my issues promptly and at no charge, sending me the appropriate parts needed to overcome its problems. After replacing the recoil spring and the firing pin spring (they actually sent the entire pin assy.) since then, the gun has performed nearly flawlessly, and I carry it without reservation. I also have a TTI Combat which had similar issues out of the box, but a lighter recoil spring and a rather extended break in period has completed eliminated all performance issues. No one makes better commercial quality triggers than Canik, in my opinion . Trying to improve it with aftermarket triggers, seems like a waste of time and money. The TTI Combat is my absolute favorite handgun, while the MC-9 is my favorite carry. All the initial problems have been addressed by Century Arms for the latest Gen 2 production run. Meanwhile plenty of articles and videos had pointed out the guns flaws and listed the steps necessary to overcome them. Buy this gun with confidence,knowing that if you have issues, Canik’s excellent customer service will be available to guide you in correcting them.

Just bought my 2nd Shield Plus (a regular 3.1" w/3 dot white sights with a 4.5 lb. trigger) as it seems all my pistols go back to the factory for regular repair. So I thought I'd get a 2nd one to shoot a lot while carrying the other Shield (a PC Shield Plus w/4" ported barrel & fiber optic sights and a 4.25 lb. trigger pull) as it just came back from the factory. The Shield Plus has the same footprint and weight as the MC9 with an also excellent trigger, & it was on sale at Cabela's for $399.00 with a $50 rebate. Can't put a red dot on it but if you could the red dot would carbon foul up as it did with my PC Shield Plus, so I had to take it off. The red dot now resides on my P365XL where it gives no trouble. It looks like the Shield Plus may be more reliable but I get the occasional stovepipe, even after S&W servicing. I wonder if the barrel stock porting takes away enough pressure to give cycling problems.??... My Sig P365 & P365XL know the way back to the Sig factory as they have both been back 3 times... EACH. But before you encounter problems with these Sigs, they run 100%. I almost bought a Glock for the durability factor alone, but the 2nd Shield plus shoot so much better & now I have 6 mags for IDPA!

Likewise, may never pick one up. Don't know. Cutting back on getting new guns, more likely to have a few of the same thing than a bunch of different ones at this point. One platform and keep it simple kind of philosophy. At a time when it seems like more and more people are getting away from Glocks and going to the new micro-nines, I, as someone who was always lukewarm about Glocks, recently picked up a G27, my first personally owned Glock ever. And I'm perfectly happy with it. Would have been a G26 but needed to go with a .40 for reasons. Was changing my EDC pistol every couple of years. Just not going to do it any more.

I purchased the MC9 and I like all the accessories an the packaging. I give my MC9 a C+ rating. It checks more boxes than my Hellcat Pro but nowhere near as many as my M&P Shield Plus. I agree 100% with you about the mushy mag release. Racking the pistol is the biggest problem. The slide is much too tight and mine only remains in the lock position when there is an empty magazine inserted. The back sights are razor sharp and will cut your hands if you're not extremely careful. I see why you're wearing thick gloves. Shooting accuracy was decent and meets the requirement for a EDC pistol. I'll most likely keep it but I'm not in love. It certainly won't replace my EDC M&P Shield Plus.

The TP9 Elite sc is still the best Canik on the market, in my opinion. Going strong, no failures after 5 years and thousands of rounds.

[@jamesd1106]

Been interested in these, waiting for gen-2.. I'm Happy with my S&W SHIELD PLUS 👍

[@Chaos486]

I bought this and took it to the range. Range ammo was perfect, but with hollowpoints, it failed to feed repeatedly. Had a few out of battery issues. Sent it back to Canik, they replaced the spring and barrel. No problems at my first range trip back and tried a bit of everything with 300 rounds. Happy its working... I just need to test a couple hundred more rounds before I'm satisfied with reliability.

[@veevans01ify]

On Saturday I bought a used but unfired one made in Dec 23. Ran over 150 rounds through it yesterday to include 124gr Fmj and hollow points 115 gr fmj , 115gr 9bple +p+, and underwood 115 gr extreme defender. No malfunctions with any of those rounds and extremely accurate. I carried a p365 for 4 years and have owned a hellcat. The size of the Mete MC 9 is the sweet spot that I was looking for that is a balance between the p365 and my Glock 26. This pistol is solid.

I run olights on everything, even my self built custom 2011. I don’t like lights that extend pass the muzzle. I know most internet hates olight, but they work.

[@floridaman6138]

Not necessarily against a light that extends past the muzzle, but a fellow Olight fan for sure. 👍 Have a few Streamlights too but got to say I prefer the Olights. Don't really see a reason to spend the money on a Surefire.

[@bighaasfly]

Had mine for nearly a year. Had the mag slow to eject WHEN FULL but would eject fine when empty. Never did figure out why. It went away at about 700 rounds or so. Works flawless. Only failure I had was during competition when I was running my big 20 round stick in it. Never had a problem with the smaller mags that came with it. I’m a tack driver with it. I shoot it better than I do my larger guns at less than 20 yards. Love it.

[@DvrDwn]

Love my Caniks and nice to hear about another person that likes OLight I have a bunch of them with NO issues. Thanks for the review.

[@Bkthompson387]

I agonized over buying the mc9 ( I already had the SFX Rival and I loved it ) because of all the reports of malfunctions. Long story short I waited a few months in the hopes they would fix the issues at the manufacturer level. I finally bought one Jan 2024. I got the nastiest cheapest remain brass ammo I could find online ( I’m a baller on a budget ). So far it’s ran flawlessly. I love it and the fact all my rival mags are interchangeable.

[@rayl.clemonsjr.4210]

Love the review.For my money it's the Springfield Armory's "Hellcat".I also love (and own) the Cold Steel Safemaker 1 pushdagger or what they used to called a "gimlet knife" back in the 19th century. Great video!

[@alanb.1540]

Love mine , had awhile now, runs great , carry’s great . Using the muddy river tactical holster, I’d recommend the canik anytime

[@shanepillsbury5042]

I have a mc9 . I absolutely love it !!! I retired my s&w shield after first time shooting it . Guns accuracy is extremely impressive! I have two caniks both are impressive. So far extremely reliable.

[@Lorenzo-fw3gx]

I can't shoot micro guns. My favorite grip size is a Glock 21. The MC9 is about as small as I want to go for something I need to shoot with confidence under stress.

[@pinballrick6031]

I understand return to batter issues have pretty much been resolved by a replacement recoil spring. I just bought the MC9 a few days ago so I’ll find out this weekend at the range. It has also been said that some small burrs on the frame can cause the issue and simply sanding them down slightly resolves it. Again…. I’ll see this weekend. The mag release issue has not been resolved. My firearm was manufactured in November and has this issue. Squeeze the grip too tight, (pretty much any pressure at all), and the mag won’t drop. Not sure how Canik can fix this. Make the walls thicker and the gun is thicker. However, the fix is to wrap a mag in a couple of layers of painters tape and shove it into the well. Heat the grip for about two minutes with a hair dryer. Let the gun cool off. Remove the mag. Remove the tape. Try inserting and releasing the mag. Surprise! It works now.

[@carlhansen8672]

Pistols from Turkey are, for the most part, excellent pistols. I have a Canik TP9 SC Elite a TP9 METE and will be adding a MC9 for conceal carry. I currently carry a Taurus GX$ for a conceal carry and look forward to adding the MC9. I am living proof that you don't have to spend $700.00 or much more to get a dependable pistol.

[@tylerstewart2474]

My Mc9 had a bad mag. One mag jammed every other round and one mag flawless. All else was great

[@loudfastfood2625]

This was my top choice for new EDC in 2023. I experienced tons of feeding issues with certain FMJ and JHP's and even on occasion with the ammo it seemed to like. I can't trust this gun as much as I enjoy shooting it when it's working. I recently got a new fluted threaded barrel from Canik which supposedly has an improved feed ramp but haven't shot it enough to confirm if it actually makes a difference

[@neils68]

Dude, you have predicted a lot 7 months ago and you are so far, spot on.

[@johnchristopher20]

I bought the Walther P99 as, the compact version as well. Canik simplified the design, eliminating the double strike capability, so it works like a Glock. Quality is iffy for Canik, but improving. I’d stick with Walther.

[@thitisakskulkroo1486]

Thanks for your review, I just got MC9 last month. Next day I went to the range and found like your review shooting was excellent, very accurate only the slide was very heavy for me so I just kept slide open when kept . Till today it seems better I will keep like this till it more tender. Thanks again for your review.

[@bmiller9456]

Two Caniks - the MC9 is on my list. I've never had a failure in a Canik. They're accurate, easy to shoot, and affordable. Quickly becoming my go-to pistols. Now if only Canik would make a 10mm.

[@rodneydavis8454]

My Canik mc9 runs very good after 1000 round I put everything through it now it is in my carry rotation. Great video keep them coming.

[@zacharyminnick1106]

Fancy your the man! Appreciate all the years of service and knowledge you have shared with us! Please keep up the solid work.

[@LTAdkison55]

Just ordered one, I have heard that the earlier ones in the year is what had issues and the new ones from factory are clearing up

[@LawrenceArnell]

I think I have had the failure to return to battery twice. I have had a few FTF when shooting one handed which concerns me. I need to put a few more hundred rounds thru it but I have thought about letting it go. One handed shooting just seems like a very likely circumstance and I don’t like worrying about it performing. My MC2C has never ever failed me in any type of handling. I have nothing but confidence in that gun which is way under the radar.

[@evolution2k6]

Always enjoy your content and appreciate your feedback and reviews. Personally, I have a lot invested in the 365 with training and trust my life with it. So you're probably correct with this platform, but it's another reason why I have a weekly rotation that includes the 365, 365x, 365xl, xdm elite 10mm, and shield2 (along with a K6S as a backup). I may in the future give this platform a try. Keep up the great work!

[@tonym362]

💯 I've been shooting Caniks since 2017. I compete un USPSA, IDPA & Steel Challenge. No issues, no complaints. I currently own 16 Caniks, all paid with my money, no sponsor from Canik or anyone else. Between all of the Caniks I own, I have over 75,000 rounds. No FTF, FTE, no double feeds, etc. Yes, both of my MC9 were first release versions when they hit the shelves & they had mag freely dropping issues. Called Canik, they sent new mag release buttons, all good. Best Out-of-the-box triggers, accurate, durable & always reliable.

[@fobjoe]

I qualified with Staccato C2 (125/125), CZ Shadow 2 compact (115/125), Sig p365(125/125), and Canik MC9 (125/125)...The canik MC9 grouped the tightest. It was a March 2023 manufacture and I've had zero malfunctions through ~1000rds. I did a bunch of pre-emptive tinkering before shooting though. I filed/sanded the plastic frame to be flush with the metal locking lug/sear housing rails to remove friction during cycling (likely the cause of failure to return to battery for most folks). Next, I polished the barrel feed ramps (new barrels feature different feed ramp geometry). I took a full sized canik mag (18rd-size), placed masking tape on the sides, and heated the frame with a hair dryer. Mags drop free.

[@Mako-sz4qr]

Love your reviews man love it ! I’m on the fence between the FN Reflex or this Canik MC9. Thank you 👍🏻

[@allenc4909]

I really want to get this gun but will probably wait until their 2nd version of it.

[@Powernoodle_]

Its wise to let Canik figure out how to make this gun as reliable as its competitors before buying one.

[@dannyentin5594]

Awesomeness! First trip to the range I shot 250 rounds of everything from 64g to 147g. Zero malfunctions! This will shot everything. For me the grip is better than any other Micro 9. I’ve been rocking a Walther PPSfor years. This is the first gun I liked enough to replace it. Best of the Micro-9’s!

[@Futon_III]

My wife got the MC9 after falling in live with my mete SFx. She has/d the P365. Its her EDC now. We had one hiccup on the 3rd round (hollow point) and i made her shoot another 300 rounds FMJ (no issues) and no issues since. Even Dutch loaded it to try and get a repeat. No other issues. I think she may have limp wristed the Canik and it wasnt a load issue.

[@Honk21]

Mr. Guns and gear is awesome! He came to Richmond a few years ago for the protest we had in Va. I think he handed out 30-round mags. Love to see a nutnfancy review pop up in my feed. I never remember to visit the pateron, I set it and forget it LOL

[@Robespierres_Ghost]

That's Andre Arlovski former UFC heavyweight champ in the Canik video ad. A true legend of the sport.

[@unixfool]

The guy in the Canik promotion video is Andrei Arlovski, a Heavyweight-class UFC fighter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Arlovski

[@MikoTactical]

Nutnfancy, your channel got me into guns 8 years ago, and I still watch the channel for good info. That being said, please don’t use Olight! You’re breaking my heart here, man 😂

[@JoeA418]

I have seen many different videos of this pistol being nit so reliable after putting roughly 500 rounds through it. But inhave also seen several other videos that illustrate the fix forbit and its simple enough, but canik has been aware of this problem and as far as I'm aware they have not fixed it. Without going into detail of the problem its just made to handle different ammo than what we commonly use and a few springs are to stiff. Spring co offers the replacement springs.

[@jfrog1979]

Dude on the mountain bike reminded me of when Goofy flew back into his bedroom window after flying off the ski slope🤣😂😴

[@ColdWarrior-rn9jc]

I have the T9SFX, the SC Elite, and this one. I have over 3000+ rounds through the TP9SFx, have been carrying the SC Elite for 2 years (and 1500-ish rounds through it); no issues with any of them, and the BEST TRIGGER ever. I was a die-hard Browning HI-Power guy for 35 years previous to these... Caniks are such amazing firearms.

[@straightblazin7]

I got a sc and my buddy got a white out full size a few years ago. They both didn't function out the box. Will never even buy a box of ammo to put threw Canik ever again

[@LizardKingC]

I used to watch your channel way before I ever had a gun lol I was just a kid now I’m 30 and I’m so glad to see your still at it

[@tylerlargent44]

Love the channel. Thanks for all the work and time u give

[@priest0701]

I listen to what you and your sun said about the carry mag vs backup, makes sense what you are saying. Some people can carry it with the 15 as well with the 12 and not show any difference.

[@waynemessner9691]

Ive had my MC9 for about 10 months now. Its been solid for the most part. However, when I first bought it, I had feeding issues with CCI 124 gr ammo. Sent the gun back, they replaced the barrel. Still had the same issue. Sent it back again, the sent a replacement firearm. Still had the same issue. I still have the second MC9. I can shoot any grain ammunition, from any manufacturer except the 124 CCI. Its a bit odd, but not a major issue.

[@blakelog2050]

I love your reviews you have some of the most solid content in the gun world!

[@zkamm99]

I got the METE SF 4.x inch. Very solid. My MC9 was a dumpster fire. Never successfully cycled JHP rounds. After filing and polishing and sending it back it would almost run FMJ reliably. Still never ran JHP.

[@TheSquirrelE]

It looks like a solid and economical option but it's a Turkish product and I personally don't want to support that. I'm a Sig P365 fan. I got a sweet deal on a promotional P365 Tac pack. The pistol was $450 with 3 mags and a serviceable kydex holster at a local gun store.

[@MichaelHoward-fr3hp]

I have had mine for almost one year!!! My EDC and I love it!!! Flawless!!! Mine is FDE and Black

[@MichaelHoward-fr3hp]

I do use the 124 grain or 147 grain, mine wasnt crazy about 115 grain but it ran it fine!!

[@The_trees_have_ears]

Loved Caniks when I workeda gun counter here in the Portland metro area. Couldn’t keep them on the shelf since they’d sell so quickly

[@The_trees_have_ears]

@heavenboundtrucker4444 a man of taste👍

[@StagFabulous]

Doodle is correct about FDE. OD Green is superior anyway.

[@floridaman6138]

It reminds me of when our dogs had puppies and their s*** before they ate solid food and had firm stools. Not that I necessarily dislike it, but it's that color. Do like OD better.

[@JamesDatWork]

After many reviews i went with a Masada Slim over this .... Masada's trigger beats all micro compacts

[@TevTooCold]

I have that same firearm. It's my EDC and I'm looking at getting a full size Canik here pretty soon. It's been nothing but good for me
