| So, this new offering coming out this month... Its what Walther should have done years ago... like 2018. |
|
Quoted: what do they mean by "Optics Ready"? What Optic is it cut for? No info at all on the product page. They have their own MRDS that fits that profile and lists this new gun as compatible. https://www.canikusa.com/mecanik-mo1 |

I am actually really interested in that. Holster options will be the judge of if I buy or not Attached File Attached File |

Quoted: Is it safe to say this is about the same size as a G26? I would say yes … But with a much better trigger.  New Canik Mete MC9 Micro Double Stack 9mm First Shots  Canik METE MC9 vs The Micro Compact Pistol World |

Quoted: Is it safe to say this is about the same size as a G26? Shot one at the IV8888 shoot yesterday. I have a G26 and love that gun but the MC9 seems to be ever so slightly smaller in every direction but with more capacity. After shooting 2 mags thru it I think I’ll be getting one. Never looked at Canik guns much in the past but the MC9 and the all steel frame they had at the event was very nice. |

Its brand new in the box. I just didn’t like the grip for my hands. I have a medium hand, more towards the smaller size. I took it off the EE and took it to my ffl on consigment. Let me know if you’re interested and I can give you my ffl’s info. Mine was the full fde one. |

I have had a chance to compare and shoot my Elite SC and the MC9 side by side. I'll stick with the Elite SC. Size wise the MC9 is slightly smaller than the Elite SC. Basically the SC is very similar to the G26 in grip length with a slide that is close to the same length as a G19. My gripes about the MC9 is that the grip is flimsy feeling and easy to push in with your thumb. The main complaint I have about the MC9 is the HORRIBLE trigger pull. It is super heavy compared to all other Canik pistols. The Elite SC has a way better trigger. |

Could have been polished up for the shoot. |

Quoted: It very well may have been polished. I went and tried a few different MC9's at several shops to see if my neighbor's pistol was a one off with a bad trigger. And every single MC9 I tried had the same horrible trigger when compared to all the other Canik pistols I have shot. Might be a production change as well if all the ones you tested were from the same time frame. |
| I liked the trigger in mine so much I bought a mete sf. Reason being that I didn’t wanna keep it is that the grip doesn’t fit my hands well and I felt the trigger was a little light for my liking. They made the mc9 trigger not as light because of it being a carry piece. I’m going with a p30sk as my carry. |
| I just ordered myself one from Atlantic Firearms as a birthday present to myself. They have them on sale for $349 so I figured I’ll give one a try and see how it stacks up against my Shield Plus. The Shield really doesn’t have a good option for mounting a light but this might become my nocturnal summer carry gun if it’s reliable. I also ordered a Streamlight TLR-7sub from Amazon and an IWB M6 holster from Werkz holsters for this combo. I also snagged up some extra mags and a tritium front sight from the Canik store while I was at it. From what I’ve been seeing, the dimensions are pretty close to the Shield Plus but it looks as if the grip might be slightly thicker due to it being a full double stack magazine. |

Someone that has access to one of these should take some photos with the slide separated from the frame, I'm curious if it copied the PPS trigger system (/whole gun) or what. Appears to shoot like a PPS... |
| It was from fact store , Night Fision kind of looks like a Ameraglow the fact one was tight left it sit with sum Krol oil , put slide in freezer , then went to work , always use a brass punch had about 1 hr in the job , the sight was just the one for the small MC gun. |

Just picked up an mc9 this morning local shop was able to order me one. Got a black frame tungsten slide. Also got a chance to put three mags through it and it was hitting everything I aimed for and trigger felt pretty good as well. I looked at one almost a year ago and this one the trigger feels better.I have a tp9 sf as well and really liking that gun for a target pistol. I like that the tp9 mag fits in the mc9 doubt I’ll ever use it in the mc9 though but it fits. |

I don't really count rounds down the pipe, but I would guess I am over 600 rounds now. Feels good in the hand and no failures to perform! |

Feels good in the hand and no failures to perform! I knew the early ones had issues I was hoping I would be good and appears so. Hope it conceals like my g43 did it is slightly taller and a hair wider but not much. I kind of prefer the capacity of the mc9 though. I liked the g43 just wish it held 2-3 more in same dimensions just a hair wider on grip it be perfect. |

My trigger was actually very good, not just sort of good or good enough, so not sure what the issue was with samples previously referenced in this thread. I previously had a Mossberg MC1SC but was looking for dbl stack. The MC1SC is basically a G43 clone with a better trigger system and ergonomics than a G43 so I was spoiled. Couple weeks ago picked up the MC9 and it ran great with everything 124 grain+, 6 failures to return to battery with 115 grain FMJ. That was in the first 300 rounds. Got home, polished feed ramp and the poorly finished surface of the breech face, and contact area of underside of slide. Today I ran 350 flawless rounds of 115 and 124 grain stuff. Gun points naturally for me so not sure I'll even get an optic. I even like the Canik branded IWB holster that came with it but lack of a sweat guard is a no-go in SE TX. My advice is to buy one, but plan on doing a small amount of polishing as detailed above. If you're new to polishing gun parts, please don't do what the idiots on reddit recommend which is polishing the slide rails. They are already plated with nickel so you risk damaging a really nice slick plating. ETA: my only criticism would be that the serrations on the slide are not aggressive enough. I never use slide release and I slipped off the rear serrations a few times after mag changes. |

I noticed that while it returns to battery now when firing, that if you bump the slide rearward, there was enough friction in the action to keep it out of battery 3-5mm. Isolated this to tight extractor. Made small cuts to the extractor spring until casings would easily slide up under the extractor. Now you can't make it stay out of battery. Need to go shoot to make sure I didn't screw up ejection with this next. Manually ejects just fine. ETA:Quick range trip today and everything good except on the way I thought it seemed like I was getting hit in the head by brass more frequently than before. Next trip i need to pay more attention to what the ejection pattern is. I think it was just bouncing around in the shooting stall differently and not coming back into my face. Canik is sending me a heavier recoil spring assembly also. |

Next trip i need to pay more attention to what the ejection pattern is. I think it was just bouncing around in the shooting stall differently and not coming back into my face. Canik is sending me a heavier recoil spring assembly also. I did receive my "red" (heavy, marked with "H") recoil spring assembly from Canik and now you can't even create an OOB by pushing back on slide slightly. I think if I'd not trimmed the extractor spring though I'd still have that issue as I was very very tight. My recommendation is to tell Canik you are having an OOB situation due to tight extractor fit and get them to send you the red recoil spring setup, then trim your extractor spring in small increments, stopping to test extractor fit after each (2mm?) cut. Also polish the breech face and extractor if needed. My extractor had no burrs or rough surfaces. DO NOT POLISH the slide rails as they appear to have a slick nickel coating and you risk removing it. ETA: now that my gun is running fine and I have a heavy spring in it, I realize there's one additional gripe. The rear serrations suck. With a stiff spring and a little sweat it's difficult to grip the rear of the slide to clear or to release slide. I'm not sure I'll ever put an optic on this pistol so that's not a fix for a place to grab. The front ones are slightly better. Serrations are just way too shallow. My Mossberg had exceptional rear serrations and my Echelon is 2nd to none in this area. |
