I’m guilty of being a victim of the never-ending search for the” perfect” carry pistol. I used to prefer the smaller individual load 9mms. The Sig P365 and Springfield Hellcat are two examples of have guns whose potential can be doubled while merely adding around 25 % length. Just because I shot a 5-inch party at 50 yards for my own YouTube video review did I decide to focus on the Hellcat. However, after a few months of carrying and education with it, I came to the realization that while the Hellcat could be exact, the trigger was long and mushy, forcing me to sacrifice speed in favor of accuracy. I desired” fit quality” with a clean break and quick reset.
The Canik MC9 is the newest 9mm” micro-carry” pistol on the market. This concept stands out from the opposition thanks to its cause.

Some of the best manufacturer triggers are included with Canik handguns. Since the cause serves as the primary user interface for a firearm, this is crucial. With a subpar set, great guns can still be accurate, but it’s more challenging, and either speed or accuracy suffer. I was therefore quite serious when Canik introduced their METE MC9 this time.
The MC9 is a” micro” double-stacked 9mm gun that is made for comfortable defensive carry. It also has an effective set, light bridge, and red dot optic for co-witnessing. You can use the 20 square holsters in addition to the 12 or 15 square magazines that are provided because they are compatible with the full-sized TP type magazines.
The cause is unquestionably superior to any other competitors’ precision compacts available right now. A 4.5 pound press with only about 1 / 8 of travel upon break initially experiences a light 3 / 8″ of takeup before being able to press through the solid wall once more after allowing for reset on the 1 / 18″ return. This enables quick shots as well as correct pictures. On my last collection trip, I fired several 5 circular sub 1″ groups from a sitting position of 15 yards. and also made many connections out to 175 feet on a LaRue shooter target. Watch the entire film carefully.
My only issue with the MC9 so far has been how tightly the magazines fit. It has proven to be 100 % reliable. They typically need to be pulled from the pistol and do not” cut free.” Some online forums advise wrapping a magazine in tape, framing it, and heating it to expand it nicely. However, I haven’t tried this but, so please disregard this advice as mere proof that the problem is well known.
For the Shield RMSC retinal footprints of the MC9, I selected the Holosun EPS Carry. Carry guns become incredibly filthy and dusty, and just like the EPS name ( Enclosed Pistol Sight ), this prevents the optic from turning into a dust collector. Additionally, this low profile eye enables co-witnessing of the factory iron sights. Additionally, it just makes you feel unprepared then after I began carrying a handgun and mounted pistol light. Amazingly, Werkz is providing a number of revolvers for the Streamlight TLR – 7 that works flawlessly with MC9.
At its lower retail price of$ 439, the MC9 has been very well received by the industry. They can be hard to find because it’s such a popular product, though. However, if you do, look at it, particularly the set. I believe you’ll get taken aback.
