They are having problems because they don't clean and lube new pistols first.People on the Internet have convinced people to try shooting out of the box before removing packing grease and metal particles or shavings.I thought everyone polished their feed ramps.This is why a cheap Dremel from Walmart and Mother's mag and aluminum polish.Great vid!You bought the right pistol.I own 3 Canik s.Urban lock leather has Canik holsters.Even for redot cutout.

Bought mine 2 weeks ago. Loved the size, fit my hand perfectly…and then I went to the range the next day. Put through it about 40 rounds and had 6 failures to feed. Went back the next day, put through it around 60 rounds had 8 failures to feed. Two days later, 30 rounds and 6 failures to feed! Btw, and I tried different ammos. Took it to my armory and they send it back! It’s frustrating I have the TP9 SA and have put through it about 1000 rounds, give and take, and have never had ANY problem, it works flawlessly!

I had this same issue. I racked a few rounds through it and noticed the casing was super scored in the ejection lip. The ejector was razor sharp and not allowing rounds to feed. I took a jeweler file to the ejector very lightly and have no issues with it since.

Glad I found this video. I’ve had my Canik about a week. The two things I didn’t like were the sights and the empty mag (no)drop. I replaced the sights with some Night Fision’s which was about a 14,000% improvement, but still had the mag issue. The tape and heat method didn't solve the problem 100%, but the mag drop is much much better. I put two layers of tape on the magazine, shoved it into the well and then used a heat gun on low setting for one minute on each side of the grip while watching like a hawk to ensure the heat caused no damage. I let the gun cool, removed the taped mag and inserted the untaped mag and the drop was better, but I still wasn’t satisfied. I added a third layer of tape and went through the process again. (I had tried three layers initially, but I couldn’t fit the mag into the well.) There was now a vast improvement releasing a magazine than there was before starting this process. Not 100%, but darn good. I was tempted to try a fourth layer of tape, but decided to wait and give the gun a break, give it some time and see if things improve on their own. If not then there’s no reason I can’t do four layers of tape later. I don’t know where you found this solution, but I appreciate you sharing it.

I have only about 400 rounds out of mine and round number two after I bought it it jammed. After that I had one more jam and that was today about an hour ago. I know this vid is a year old so hopefully Canik made some modifications to the pistol but I will be taking my down today for cleaning. And I will look for these small imperfections. As it comes to the mag sticking it is my 12 round mag that sticks but once it’s loaded it doesn’t stick on release. I’m glad I seen this video. Thanks.

I polished the feed ramp and then had no more failures to feed. They will be a lot more reliable once they start producing these in Florida. My favorite ccw by far.

stick mag was an easy fix for me. I noticed the the mag release button doesn't have enough travel and it was creating friction that would keep it from dropping freely. With the slide off I used a dremmel with a small grinding stone and on low speed I trimmed the mag lock tab. I stopped often to check function. It didn't take long to get it to function perfectly. I couldn't justify the tape and heat gun trick. I didn't want to risk warping something. Worse case with my way was having to order a new mag release if I messed up. I didn't and I am thrilled with the gun now. I had the out of battery issue also but that was even easier to fix and I didn't buy or replace anything.

I noticed they happened at the end of the magazine usually a couple rounds away from empty. Might be a combination of magazine and extraction pin burring. I read somewhere where someone opened up the top of the magazine just a little and fixed their feed issues. If you have other caniks the magazines are interchangeable and see if its the magazine causing it. The heating of the well and tape just squeezes the magazine and slims it a little which could be done in a vice even just slightly compress it. Also have you ever tried different grains and brands to see if it's an "I hate that ammo" situation with the gun? I see very few issues on videos with this MC and far more no issues so a few problems aren't indicative of the thousands already out there. I have the SC and TP9 SF and the SF had a very stiff spring that took a while to quit misbehaving as well as I left it locked back to for a couple days to give it a little help and now it runs flawless and never a single issue with the SC just want it a little smaller which will be the MC but they aren't easy to find as of right now.

I have a Muddy River Tactical and a We the people holster so far. I am left-handed. This is why I chose these two companies. If you have any other options to look at, post it. Thank you for your review.

Canik fixed these issues on the new models. The feed ramp is totally different. Polished and more open. No notch on the bottom of the barrel feedramp. Mine ate 115g winchester, magtech, CCI blazer, range rounds and 124g Hornady defense rounds no problem. Not one failure with 300 rounds so far. I just got it 2 weeks ago.

Holding off on purchasing one of these until they fix all the issues I've been hearing about. I'll stick to my TP9 elite SC until then.

I'm glad they fixed it.

Shout out to your brother who came with you to the range for some ballistic therapy. He may not be one to ever carry a self-protection device, but he still supports you, and knows that you will always have his back! Hope your Canik continues to protect you and yours in the years to come!

They did the same to mine. They also broached the magazine well. It's working great now.

Close Quarters Carry makes a very good holster.

I’ve had mine just under a month and put 800 rds through it and had 2 failure to feed issues within the first 100. Honestly think it was the ammo (Remington UMC)cause I’ve had identical issues with my Glock 26,Sig250,and G2C using the same ammo.

It’s like getting your first tattoo bubba, once you’ve shot your first gun you want more

Roughly 150-200 rounds put in no issues at all… until today. 😢 I am having numerous failure to feed issues, thought it was the spring in the mag I swapped to the 15 found one, pulled it out and threw the small mag back in and still failing to feed or a slight hiccup if it does feed like it’s catching on the entry to the barrel.

Light primer strike could be due to Winchesters degrading quality? Idk if you ran Win but if so could be the issue. That primer looked like it was struck pretty well. It wasn’t a failure to go into battery the second time, it was a failure to bring friends to the range that know how to operate firearms 😂. He didn’t just let the slide go, he rode the slide into battery… jeez man all these “canik issues” people have. Not saying the gun didn’t have any issues but like i said before half of these are issues with friends who you don’t want to have next to you in a firefight. Like you’re buddy with a 9 year olds grip from the first video…

Well, METE MC9 was an option to buy for me. Not any more. Thank you for pointing out the issues.

Was messing around with my MC9 and realized that my mag wasn't releasing properly because of the weird mag release button design. As i gripped the pistol, my hand was pushing against the other side of the mag release, causing it to not fully disengage. No pistol I've owned had a mag release that worked like that. I'm baffled.

Can't tell you how excited I was when this was announced. But it's pretty clearly not ready for prime time yet. I love Canik but I'm not gonna pay to beta test for them. I'll wait a year till they get their QC up to par on this one.

I was going to buy this and ended up walking out with a g26 lol. I’ll probably still end up getting one. The magazine not dropping out freely was one thing that steered me to the g26.

I have five caniks in total between me and my fiancée we’ve had to swap out her guide rod for her MC9 but other than that no problems what so ever I know you get what you pay for but this is still best bang for the buck folks say they aren’t fans but will spend about 300-600 dollars to get their Glock just to the way they like it Ijs lol. Good video and insanekydex creations have MC9 holsters with ready to ship and custom options

Just got one based on all the good videos but failed to see the issue videos. Well just grabbed mine magazine does eject. But with round in chamber pull slide half way back it doesnt go back into battery. Both with or without mag in. Did same with my 320, 365, hellcat, glock 43 none have this shortcoming. I havent shot the gun yet but not sure id every be confident carrying it as long as it does this even if after shooting it it perform ok. Just knowing this issue is present is enough to not carry it. Guess ill be calling canik cs tomorrow. Hopefully they can fix mine so i can have confifemce to carry it.

I think your boy may have contributed to the return to battery issue due to being weak wrist. On the failure to fire, it appeared that you had a solid strike making it an ammo issue

This is really bumming me out as I’ve had nothing but good times with my Mete SFT and was eyeing this as a carry option. Not buying a gun that needs this much work to be reliable. Wonder when they’ll get it right on a new one. Still would give it a chance if they sort it out. It doesn’t cut it that you can only rely on it with a nearly perfect grip and technique. Too many scenarios where you’re not going to have those things happen in a split second decision to save your life, even for very experienced shooters. It should be pull the trigger, it goes bang, no matter how you’re holding it.

Mine got back and ready for action. Stay strap and watch your back.I got a red dot on mine . It sick lol

Holy shit, your 12 rounds weren't dropping out full of ammunition? Jesus, neither my two-tone or black MC9 does that. I thought the issue was after the magazine was empty. All my magazines (8 total MC9 magazines and a whole box of 15-20 round magazines drop completely empty). Wow, that is a whole new way of looking at it. I had no idea, full magazines weren't dropping out. That is nuts!! Have you tried brand new out of the RETAIL packaging magazines?

I got a slimfit holster for my mc9 fitted for a light and optic. Took about 4 weeks to get to me.

Try loosening the spring on the ejector. I saw another video where that was the fix for the fail to return to battery.

That's what I've been saying. It's not a "beginners" gun. Especially if you are running light ammo through it. I'm over 400 rounds through mine (cheap & light to premium carry ammo) and have experienced zero issues. I shoot a lot. Had a friend who doesn't shoot much try it and he had 2 failure to feed issues in one magazine. The MC9 likes experienced shooters who know how to handle a handgun.

Put 500 rounds through in one range visit, noticed that it runs great until you start rapid firing then it seems to heat up and slide isnt as smooth.. put some oil on it and back to perfection. I guess im saying clean it after use and oil it really good and runs exceptionally well. Have over 1000 rounds through in just a few weeks and have started just shooting it strictly one handed to be better prepared of a oh shit moment

I guess where I'm most disappointed with the MC9 is that they have been promoting it saying that its been 3 years in development and they are obviously have a few issues with this release i.e., not returning to battery, mags not dropping freely, etc... Maybe a little more R&D was needed or QC. Not sure. I bought the Mete SFX about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. Never a single issue so I decided to give the MC9 a try and have been somewhat disappointed. I had to contact Century Arms because mine was not ejecting the mags without having to physically pull them out of the well. They did say they would replace the mags and gave me a FedEx return label to return them. Then I read in another forum that if you put tape on both sides of the mag and then insert it into the well, and heat it up with a heat gun, and then cool it down, that it will then work as it was intended. It did work! Crazy! So at this point I'm not returning them. Fortunately, I have not personally had an issue with mine returning to battery. I was just hoping for more from Canik since they've come a long way since the beginning. I hope they correct the issues quickly and aren't backsliding. Time will tell.

I really want the mc9. I'm torn between that or the Shadow cr920p. For the price of the shadow I can get two caniks( one for both my wife and I) might look at other models until canik gets this all ironed ( or polished lol) out

You can see the different grip so you know that there's two different people shooting the same gun

I've already got like 3000 rounds through mine and I don't have an issue at all. I don't understand how so many people are having issues with this pistol? I guess I just got lucky or something

Nice his grip was loose. . I have 250 threw mines. My mags was getting hung up until I put. Painter tape on. Then use a blow dryer around the grip. Now my mags drop free

Oh and the holster… I hate it😂 I found one through Black Scorpion Gear. I didn’t like the one they sent me so I ordered other parts for it to make it more concealable.

I'm going to be getting mine back in a few days, so let's hope the failure to battery issue goes away.

That return to battery issue is unacceptable. Canik taking a dip in brand name cause of it. I’ve only heard good things about Canik’s pistols besides the MC9

They sent me a new spring in the mail and I have had no issues with mine ever since I replaced my recoil spring

You're the only one that does crazy stuff to your gun haha 😂

WHAT WAS YOUR ISSUE THAT YOU HAD TO SEND IT OUT?.?

I grined off a couple of my extractor spring coils, because that was also causing unnecessary friction, and got my new recoil spring...Mine has been flawless every since...No failure whatsoever.

Thank you for this Video, from the video time mark 5:07 and 5:32, and 5:44, and 6:43 It still fails to go to into battery, even after "Their fix" So I'll hold off of the purchase

Check for overburr on the firing pin guide rails.....that's one of caniks issues, file them down and everything will work fine...

He had a bit of that limp wrist going on 🤣

We The People makes a holster that is designed for the M&P Shield 9mm. It actually fits the MC9 better than it fits the M&P.

You need to put a red dot on it made my Canik Is called Mecanik Mo1

I have put close to around 500 rounds through mine between Winchester white box and reloads and its been running flawless and im able to shoot it great and fast. I am a fan

No it was the feed ramp that was the actual problem. They swapped the recoil spring to a lighter one just because

My mc9 started doing failure to go into battery and light primer strikes after 250 rds I got rid of it asap! Went back to my very reliable g43x/48 I say that cause I use 43x lower for both uppers ! Cause my life is worth it imo! Great video bud 👊💪👍🏼

All these kinks may be worked out soon. first batches sometimes have issues. All I can say is "limp wrist" does not always apply. G19 has never failed , limp or not. Just saying they work. At the end of the day my 2 cents is fundamental - Guns should shoot. Period...I dont care for all the "it doesnt like this ammo or that ammo" , Its not alive , So just shoot. LOL (kill me in the comments if you will ) but thats my thought. Im not a Glock fanboy but there is no taking away from the fact that a G19 is gonna pop off whatever you put in it. Dirty , clean, steel , brass , aluminum, JHP, FMJ, etc etc. Canik may work this out the same way Sig did with the P365...Hard to wait to get one tho. May need to shoot both 2 decide. These Vids help so much tho!

Honestly I would request a brand new gun from them

How much did they charge you to ship the pistol to them for repair?

Great video bro, all my Canik’s did the same. Be careful what you feed it because they were made to only take Nato, CIP, or SAAMI rounds. Canik also doesn’t do well with any grain under 124 grain. Even though I feed 4 of my brand new Canik’s the right ammo, they had multiple jams. I even locked the slide back for weeks and still fte, stovepipes you name it. Contacted Canik and they sent me new guide rods and recoil springs. Still had issues! I do admit they have awesome triggers out the box plus all the accessories are cool! However they need to do better with their QC. Great guns at the range but never would I trust them with my personal protection means. IE home or self defense. All my Canik’s came from Academy or big gun retailers and still had issues. My ammo was new and everything but still had problems. I have Glocks, Walthers, Springfield’s, HK’s, etc. Honestly Glock is superior to all of those. They really do work! Now of course any gun can jam, but Canik needs to do better. You can google and KZfaq Canik issues and it’s a lot. I really tried with them because I loved their guns! But I literally sold or traded all mines and no issues out my other guns! Now yours may be ok and perfect. Just put about 200 rounds and see if there are hiccups. Not a fan boy to no firearm brand at all. Just speaking from 10 plus years of firearms experience. That’s why some Canik’s are so cheap and include all the goodies. It’s because they put emphasis on all that and none on reliability. Henceforth the cliche, “You get what you pay for.” Any gun you buy make sure to read the manual fully. Surprisingly you’ll find very informative and needed info. Keep the content coming your channel is what’s needed bro!

Im glad you called out the fact that he was limp wristing it and thats why it didn't cycle 100 percent for him .. I have the holosun eps carry greendot non solar panel and it fastens right to the slide co witnesses to the irons and i have to say i like optics now

Grip tape on the slide?

Idk who that was tea cupping but please teach them proper grip lol 😂😂😂😂

Only time failure to function happened the same person was shooting I’d say user error of not knowing how to hold a gun properly

You should’ve told them about the mag release

Mine went back to canik 2 times before they said send it in we will replace it. Now 6 weeks layer still no gun called they said they are waiting on guns. 1st canik likely last. Hellcat very similar and proven.

I had to send my canik back after 3 mags it shit itself😢

He's anti gun so that's why the gun was giving him problems.

10 day old video??? 5/15/23 said on KZfaq.

Wtf? You said no hiccups. Your joint wouldn’t go into the battery. I wouldn’t rely on that in a life saving situation.

If you're brother had a smile on his face? I bet he did! The next time you take him shooting,and you will. Make him pay for the ammo! It won't be long and he won't be anti gun anymore. Teach him right, stay safe and have fun.

so are you fixed that problem? because i have same issue and don't know what to do :(

2 misfires in one range trip doesn’t sound like a good carry gun to me

The elephant in the room is…. What ammo were you using? I’ve had no probs with mag Tek 115 grain target ammo and critical defense h points. For the critics out there…. 500 rounds is is my personal minimum before rendering judgement on ANY GUN. Gotta break it in first! :-)

5:08 You have a terrible flinch! Yikes! Unreliable guns don't help at all. Remove the extractor and polish the extractor "hook". Don't file it, polish it. Use a small piece of of wood, wrap it in 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper and gently give the inside of the hook a few strokes. Then wrap the stick in a cleaning patch, apply some polishing compound and polish it to a mirror finish. Disassemble the pistol and inspect the frame and slide rails very carefully. With the barrel and recoil spring removed, move the slide on the frame, feeling for any spots that "drag" or hang up. Pay special attention to the polymer frame around and _behind_ the slide rails in the frame. If there are any burrs or bumps, you can remove them with a Dremel tool or small files. I would polish the feed ramp myself, just to be sure, but I really don't think that is, or was, the problem.

kia model?

Dude, things like that should never be happening. I have one and have NO issues. I'd show them that video and ask for your money back. It's called the Lemon Law.

masada slim

Canik f’n up 😒

Shadow cr920

It’s a Canik - what do you expect? Reliability out of the box? 😂

Check out Muddy River Tactical for a good holster. I enjoy their IWB.

Bro grip the gun then push the button. Should drop right out. I have same problem

Are you gripping with your left hand? Looks like your thumb is under it. Use combat grip. Good luck.

Keep on to your brother and get him on the 2a bandwagon

Should always take pictures of before and after when sending a product back to the manufacturer.....

I found a fix for the mags not dropping

Constructive criticism from a professional photographer.... Clean your lenses often while filming, the driving scene looked like a steamy shower..

You're filming on your phone while driving, and you can actually see your lane assist going off just as you passed someone. Maybe stop doing that.
