Canik METE MC9 vs The Micro Compact Pistol World
With the all new Canik Mete MC9 micro compact pistol hitting the market, there needed to be a comparison between it and the other well established pistols. In this comparison we discussed the similarities and differences between the Springfield Armory Hellcat, Sig P365, Taurus GX4 and Canik MC9 micro compact pistols.

Pistols in this size range oftentimes are a touch on the snappy side due to their small stature but they are perfect for everyday carry purposes. The Canik MC9 is the largest of the bunch but not by a noticeable amount. Someone would need to break out calipers to see or measure that difference. The Sig P365 and Taurus GX4 have the shortest grips in this segment. For carry purposes, all of these pistols conceal well and have good round edges.
The most controllable pistol of these 4 is a toss up between the Springfield Hellcat and new MC9 pistols. Then the Sig P365 and the Taurus GX4. With the most features and best overall value, the Canik takes the cake. It's the only pistol of the bunch with ambidextrous slide release levers and a mag button which is as easy to press as a full size pistol. When working on precision shooting, the sights of the Sig P365 and the Hellcat are by far the best. The Sig and Springfield pistols feature colored front sights, whether its a fiber optic or night sight. In making precise shots on a steel hostage target, the Canik MC9 is the clear winner due to its incredible trigger with a crisp, clean wall and lower pull weight.
In shooting all of these pistols, they each have their own quirks. The Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365 have proven their worth over the last few years and are clear crowd favorites. The Canik MC9 improves upon a lot of the drawbacks with micro compact pistols and challenges the micro compact giants, possibly even unseating them and reaching number one. Try them all for yourself and pick which one shoots best for you. Maybe I like the MC9 or Hellcat the best, but if the P365, GX4, or even Smith and Wesson Shield or Glock 43 or Shadow Systems CR920 is your best shooter, run with it!

For the money, you absolutely can’t beat a Canik pistol. For what they give you, out of the box, it is hands-down one of the best stock pistols made. I have been waiting three years for Canik to finally come out with something that could possibly make me change my 43X EDC. Cannot wait to get my hands on the MC 9 and run some defensive drills with it. If it’s trigger is anything like the prior Canik triggers, along with the same reliability I’ve gotten from all of my Caniks, it will be without question the new king of concealed carry. Unless you have actually ran a Canik pistol through defensive drills for at least 1000 rounds, keep moving on and save your hate for someone else!

@@HuntFishShootChannel that’s just a matter of shortening the barrel and grips hence why it can still take the 18 round canik mags.

If it was quite that easy you would think walther would have made a micro like this. Obviously there is a very hot market for micro 9's these last few years. As for triggers in my personal opinion canik has got it out of the box so they must have used the extra 20% for improvements though I wish canik would have thought out the grip texture like the walther pdp. I will dang sure give that to walther all day long. But hey to each their own!
I have watched this particular video three times. What I am taking away from it is that a good trigger is very very important. I have always felt that the trigger doesn’t really matter, because I as a shooter, should be able to compensate and overcome any shortcomings of the trigger. But when I see a shooter with your skill level routinely discuss the quality of the trigger and how critically important it is a bell went off in my head. I am now fully starting to realize that I deserve to have a quality trigger from the beginning. Huge “learning moment” for me! Many thanks!

Hey glad we can help! Bad triggers can be worked through to some extent but they can begin to hinder a shooter at some point as well. With a good shooter the trigger being better can do nothing but enhance. Less room for error. Triggers are everything but they are a large part of the equation!
The name brand on the grip has never mattered much to me. I have the GX4 and absolutely love it. I own Sigs, Caniks, and Glocks (G48), and the Taurus definitely stacks up. I'm planning on picking up the MC9 when it comes out. Lot of great micros out there, so it really comes down to personal preference.

I purchased the GX4 after trying out the Hellcat and P365 along with others. I actually went with the GX4 over them all because it had the best trigger IMO,felt great in the hand and of course the price was way better. I carry it along with the 43X MOS and Hellcat Pro on a daily basis. That being said, I got excited about the Canik when it was announced, it's on my list without even trying it out yet.

Excellent review. Sounds like the Canik is the best trigger hands down, and then comes neck and neck or slightly takes the edge overall in all of the other important considerations covered here. Then when you factor in everything that comes in the box, the optic readiness, and the value, wow, I think we have a winner amongst some very good competition.

Dropping in a trigger kit from ArmoryCraft or M*Carbo will help the P365 trigger a lot, but it still doesn't hold a candle to a Canik trigger. The best microcompact trigger I've felt so far (since the MC9 won't be released until March) is the Kimber R7 Mako. Phenomenal trigger! It didn't work for me in other aspects, so I went back to the P365, but got a XL and put a M*Carbo trigger kit in it with a Wilson Combat XL grip module. Makes the P365 a completely different gun. That said, I will be getting the MC9 as soon as I can. My METE SFT needs a little brother.

Got my GX4 in June, super stoked, struggled to get 40 rounds through it. Failure to go into battery, dead trigger, jams. After "repair", ran 120 rounds, five different magazines, two types of ammo, didn't get through one mag without failure. Really disappointed, love the feel and shot well w it when it did shoot. Back it goes, I guess, but can't trust it now.

@@matthewfisher3201 ikr, I've sent mine in twice now. Last time they said they replaced barrel, trigger assembly, and recoil spring. It actually tried to load one into battery right behind one that didn't fire. Jammed the mag and everything. Finally got it cleared, but had multiple other misfires and problems after that. Using multiple magazines and ammo, managed to empty a magazine without error only twice. Looking at sending in a third time.
I have a G3C and after 2,000 rounds with no malfunctions I’m going to the canik mc9 cause the trigger is now super spongy like where there was a wall then break now there isn’t and all I’ve heard about canik is being reliable with a high quality trigger

Great review for the pros and cons of each pistol. Canik offers so much to their customers for what you pay and aftermarket support is increasing. If Taurus could only offer better finishes on their pistols, and Sig can fix the triggers from being smushy then that might make a difference, but as of now Canik has been hitting home runs. Edit: What shooting gloves are you using? Given the micros do not have much room within the trigger guards. Thx.

I pocket carry my P365X (in a non-printing DeSantis Super Fly Pocket Holster w/Flap), which has a flat trigger and slightly larger grip and beaver tail than the 10+1 version, and is 14+1 with a standard 12 round mag and the Magguts +2 kit. As far as I'm concerned, the 14+1 P365X (on which I've mounted a Nightstick TSM13G green laser/light combo, and added a slightly larger mag release) is the best micro 9 out there, bar none. I also only carry it with Underwood's 90 gr. Xtreme Defenders, because hollow points just can't reliably perform when shot from such a small barrel, while the XD's fluted solid copper projectiles work amazingly well in the P365.

@user-ry2fy1mw6i The main difference is the trigger pull geometry. The flat face allows for better natural placement for improved leverage on the firing mechanism. It takes work with both to figure out what your personal preference will be, but in my experience with the flat vs curved on both the P320 and P365 FCUs the flat face improves the overall function and feel of it.

Canik should consider making these caliber pistols in the future: _METE MC 30_ in .30 Super Carry _METE SC 30_ in .30 Super Carry _SFX Rival Steel 10_ in 10mm Auto _METE SFT 10_ in 10mm Auto _METE SF 40_ in .40 S&W _SFX Rival 40_ in .40 S&W _TP380 Elite Combat_ in .380 ACP _TP380 Elite SC_ in .380 ACP The .380 ACP is not only subsonic but it has low recoil which is ideal for women, elderly, and men with ailments like arthritis who don't want high recoil. The .30 SC may be new but it performs better than .380 and is close to 9mm, and holds more rounds than both; I see it taking off the moment some affordable brands like Turkish brands or Taurus or some global brands like Glock or CZ adopt it. The .40 S&W remains moderately popular among competition shooters. The 10mm Auto has been asked for by many ever since the METE and SFX Rival series came out; it's also popular against wild animals and would do well in countries where standard military/police calibers are banned for civilian use.

Because both of those pistols are larger in every single dimension. Those are ultimately a different class of micro compact pistol. That would be an unfair comparison in general. We’ve reviewed both the Hellcat Pro and the X Macro, great pistols but they are nothing more than thinner compact size pistols. If you want me to pick since I have shot all of them and compare them, the macro is hands down the best shooter. It’s the easiest to shoot and shoots like a full size. It’s also the largest “micro” compact pistol available.
Carry the micro hellcat when needed(tighter clothes in summer) but I love subcompacts especially the FN 509c with a 15 round magazine. A close second being Glock 26 with an xgrip(Glock 19 mag). That being said I've been waiting for canik to come out with a micro since they tend to be beefy

But it really feels like the MC9, Shield Plus even the Hellcat are better guns, the only real thing they give up on the P365 is being slightly larger and it REALLY isnt that much of a difference. The MC9 for one seems to be superior to the P365 in every way possible cept for once again, being slightly bigger. Which isnt even a downside to a lot of people who want more space to grip.
