So I have all 3 - Elite Combat, Mete, and Rival.
I like the Elite Combat and Rival triggers better than Mete. Mete has longer take-up, and also doesn't have the flat trigger which for me I better than the rounded face of the Mete. Rival is better for Competition, and is the full sized grip for which the standard mag is 18. The Mete is 18 also. The Elite Combat is compact size with standard mags being 15, however there are lots of options by just adding extended base plates from Taylor freelance and other. Because I have medium/small hands I do like the Elite Combat frame the best. So, the cool thing is I can mix and match frames and slides between all 3 (combat,mete,rival) I have done this and shot hundreds of rounds through the various configurations. I think I like Rival slide of Combat frame the best, but Rival trigger is best trigger Canik has in my opinion, with the Combat right behind it. You could compete easily with any of the 3 tho. Also there are Canik threaded barrels you can get for virtually any Canik gun now available.
