Part 2 is here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhxgpBmmuDZeI0.html

Appreciate you taking the time to do this review and for being the first person to do the mc9 vs 43x mos comparison!

I got 2 Caniks, MC9 one of them… and honestly I’m in love. I haven’t shot a ton of pistols, but so far they’re my go to 100%.

Hurley Welding makes a sleeve for the 18 round Canik mag to fit the MC9. They also make a mag butt plate that fills in the gap at the bottom/back of the grip.

Thank you thank you !!! I’ve been in between these 2 and no one has done a comparison.

Yea, I'm stuck between these two options. The Canik is what I'm leaning towards, but I just want to see a torture test done on it, have a gun engineer look at the internals to see quality, and have a holster option similar to Tenicor that does a quality work and offers a wedge option. That's my only hesitation, mostly the holster, though. I can run my own toeture test to see how it holds up.

This the video I’ve been waiting on!!

Great comparison... thank you!

Thank you for the honest review!

Yeah, I don't get why the MC9 is as heavy as a G19...but I was worried the grip was going to be a lot wider than the 43X, which doesn't appear to be the case. I much prefer the 17.8oz CR920 (but I guess I could cut some weight with underwood 65gr ammo instead of 124gr HST). Thanks for the detailed comparison.

I agree with u bro wen I first went to the store to get the 43x soon as I held it , it just felt perfect in my hand

The canik trigger will work itself out after roughly 100 rounds. At least it did for me. I had the same issue and thoughts about it.

I have the MC9, Shield Plus and Hellcat. Plus is my EDC but will be carrying the Canik as well. Not a fan of the Hellcat because of trigger but my Apex will be in Monday so hoping that changes things. It's my wife's favorite though. Never shot the 43x. The MC9 shoots great and the trigger is nice and I am putting the mecanik mo1. Can't wait to get more rounds down range .. good review

I haven't shot the 43X yet, but I did shoot the MC9 alongside the 48 and a few others and was surprised that the Canik didn't seem anywhere near as snappy as the P365-9mm (although the Shield Plus did shoot slightly better IMO). I'm torn between the MC9, Shield Plus and S&W CSX for a true micro-compact 9mm for carry. I will say that the CSX does (for me) shoot quite well for its size and is easy to manipulate out of the box, whereas the MC9 and Shield Plus both have much stiffer slides starting off. Hopefully the Canik just needs to be broken in similar to the Plus. Thanks for doing this comparison.

Idk if I'm correct but I believe canik wanted the mc9 to have a fuex double action - single action trigger feel so you know for sure your ready to fire since it's a microcompact ment for ccw...also it still gives the canik break and reset thier known for

Now you can get the OSA mags for the 43X and you don't have to change the mag catch !

I also own both of these. I carry the glock. The weight and full grip is what is what swayed me to pick that one weight being the bigger selling point. That being said I like the canik more if I could only have one I would probably take the canik. It feels really well made solid it’s probably the extra weight and I enjoy shooting it more I like the trigger more I can live with tue king take up cause to my hands my fingers the glock trigger feels sharpe and almost hurts my finger. You can’t go wrong with either pistol there both nice guns.or own them both it’s a free country piss off the liberals and own lots of guns.

I got my sleeves from bloody wheeels for the Canik it cost 12 with the shipping I just had to sand it down a lil bit for a better snug fit

Like the review but im also thinking about getting the PSA micro dagger

On the Canik, you can use the site to reset

With the shield 5 round extender you get 20 in a flush fit mag, plus 1 in the chamber.

Great comparo; no muush! THX!

Funny this video popped up because I just saw the Mete MC9 in person for the first time today. I’ve absolutely been looking forward to it. I didn’t get to shoot it but I did handle it and actually agree with you about the initial pull of the trigger. If you ride the wall after every reset it’s great, but yeah that initial feel/take up is a little odd. Curious how much you paid for it if you don’t mind my asking? It was $450 at the place I went, which seems high because I think the MSRP is $440 and I was assuming actual price would be $400 or less. But who knows, it did just come out (and again, I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet), so maybe the price will hopefully come down. All I know is the p365 and its many variants have gotten too expensive imho. My main hang up with the 43x is its lower capacity single-stack magazine, which, along with its grip angle, give the 43x more height, and that means more potential to print. And again, that’s despite the smaller capacity. Even so, my choice will likely come down to these two, the M&P Shield plus, or the Taurus GX4 TORO (and before anyone s**ts on me for the GX4 because it’s a Taurus, check its reviews and the awards it’s won). Thankfully I think it’d be hard to go wrong.

The MC9 is a much better shooting gun than the 43X, hands down. The M&P Shield & Shield Plus and the Taurus GX4 are also much nicer to shoot. I sold my 43X and kept the rest. Hopefully you're not a fanboy and give us your honest thoughts when comparing the two. I rank them MC9, Shield & Plus, GX4 then the 43X.

You can put the rival trigger shoe into the mc9 which reduces the take-up and basically mimics the rival trigger in general. The trigger break itself is really the most important part for accuracy. The glock has more creep once you push against the actual wall before it fires so most people are going to disagree with you. I agree that the take-up sucks but the actual trigger break and reset are better. I recommend just going online and buying the rival trigger shoe. Basically all caniks have that false wall accept for the rival. The glock 43x was never the king of micro pistols by the way. The shield deserves that title and is probably the highest sold micro pistol ever created. The glock 43 is basically just a copy of the original shield so I don't think it deserves to have the title of king.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Canik trigger do that. You should seriously think about sending it back and getting a new one! I have four Canik’s, not a single one of their triggers have ever done that. Not one.

Where is everyone finding the MC9? I check daily at inventories, and nobody has them in, in the Stl. area.

Bought canik for my first firearm purchase and rented the Glock 43x sigp365 to compare all together, if I could go back for my ccw I would go Glock first sig second canik 3rd the Glock felt the most compfy and I shot more accurate with it.

Thanks for comparing these and giving your honest opinion. I have a friend with 2 Caniks and he swears by the triggers . I have yet to try them out. I came here specifically looking for someone to have compared the 43X and this new Canik, I’m not into red dot optics and stuff so its more about the sights, feel in hand and trigger. I have heard so much about Canik triggers its sort of making me feel like…ok really??? The same way everyone raved about the flat trigger with the Sig P365…meanwhile I hated it. So the bandwagons are very real and ppl don’t even know when they hop on them. It’s like the car guys who buy a Cold Air Intake and then “swear” the car is faster…NO BRUH…5HP isn’t gonna do ish to yr 0 to 60 time. It’s the first person online I’ve seen to be like ehh the trigger wasn’t all that. SO I hope people aren’t going to accuse you of now being a Glock “fan boy” ..anyone that does should also ask themselves if they are just a hater…Cuz like Canik or Sig. Glocks are good ass guns. Anyways thanks for this comparison

I rotate carry between the mete mc9 and glock 48 mos I like the canik way more as far as shooting goes

Rear sight on the mc9 is for cocking 1 handed against your clothes

But the entire Glock is slick tho

Does your mc9 have a little side to side play on the trigger?

Which one is easier to rack. Bad wrists unfortunately?

The sights are rough so you can rack it on tables and other things without causing damage

Stuck between these two as well as the new Avidity Arms PD10 😅 still waiting for the review on that from someone

I think I saw holsters for the mc9 at muddy River tactical

I own 6 Glocks & there is no doubt that the Canik shoots better than all the Glocks I own..

I love the false wall.

I don’t know why your trigger is like that, but mines isn’t. Mines is perfect! Just like all my caniks. Love my caniks!

The only review that didn't like the trigger, this I find interesting.

I have both. I think the Canik shoots far better. As far as the trigger I think it has best trigger of the micro 9's .

Nice video. You need a stand for your phone so you can use two hands.

You didn't mention the ambi slide stop/release, lefty friendly

If you want to do an honest review on a gun you should consider shooting it before you make a video. Then your opinions would be justified.

MASADA SLIM is underrated

Matatan.®. Ribirin HS, Both look very cool.

no hate but youre wrong about after market mags the shield arms mag is better than the plastic glock mags

At 11:10 when you displayed the Canik trigger I was turned off and away from buying the MC9. Luckily I have my METE 9 here and it has the same "fake wall" and break. After I realized that I am here to say to others - It may look bad on camera but that mushy trigger play followed by the fake wall just looks bad on camera. They rant and rave about the METE trigger. The MC9 trigger is getting praise also. Ill be going to the store to check out the MC9. Its that or the 43X. Or a 365.... of a PDP.... :)

Before even startin Canik is a east choice for me

Can't do a damn thing with ten rounds here in Michigan. 15+ or bust. Also, Canik shows love to lefties.

So it definitely needs to be broken in but I will agree with you that the trigger doesn't feel like all the other standard canik triggers. But it is true that these weren't made to the same spec bc of importation regulations. Which I didn't know until I bought mine. I'm going to be swapping some other triggers around to this gun to test this theory and confirm that it is true. If so you should be able to order just a standard canik trigger and a few parts and swap. And like some other people have mentioned you can put a Rival shoe on it.. just my thoughts. It's still better than a glock by far. I had both of these guns. And my 43x was broken in and I'm still saying the mc9 is better. And another small thing to add I can't imagine what world people would have to be in to buy a 43x and not run shield arms mags😂 put it in your reviews and preach it bc if you buy the 43x it's a package deal you gotta have the shield arms mags😂😂

those are "target triggers" required for small striker fire guns or blow back guns to be imported into the USA. See ATF Form 4590 (5330.5). This will explain why the .380's aren't typically imported (glock 42 in manufacture in Georgia).

You like the Glock more, it's obvious.... lol. You are the only person that has Negative points with Mc9. Good it's your own personal view.

Check out the review by Graham Bates of GB Guns

You have contradicted every spec that is out there. I have an mc9. I’m looking to purchase a shield plus or 43x. The Glock absolutely has the smoothest release. What are you doing?

“Your finger”. Jesus Christ. As wide as that trigger is, you had to intentionally pinch your finger. How do you do a review without firing.

Bro, you were good until you talked about trigger guard. You aren’t going to carry with the firing pin out of battery and it’s actually worse than the Canik when “cocked and locked”.

I love my 43X, but it definitely is NOT the king of CCW!

The champ has never been the 43x. The Sig365 has been the champ, and the Mc9 doesn’t change that since the macro365 was released. My 365 has the 365x slide riding a modified macro grip module cut down to fit the shorter 365 slide. 17+1 is better than the Canik 15+1.

Man you gotta shoot it cause mine is perfect

caniks feel like they are 3d printed..

Andre ward ?

Canik all day every day.

The shadow systems cr920 still destroys both of these

You're complaining about the trigger, yet saying you haven't shot it yet. Go shoot it. Almost any trigger out there is better than a Glock trigger. The safety blade is flush when the trigger breaks, can Glock say that? After shooting a few rounds or mags with a Canik, does it wear on your finger or leave an indent on your finger pad. Shoot first, review later.

G26 for the win

This guy just said the trash ass Glock trigger is better than the Canik! Muhahaha he’s definitely trolling or doesn’t know guns lol. All reviews Canik MC9 has an amazing trigger for a MC. I own the MC9 n have shot Glocks. There’s no debate lol.

Canik is a walther trigger. You just proved you are clueless

Glock sights suck and you are a $100-$150 extra for an mos

😂

8:51 8:51

P365 x macro much better

just got my hands on my canik mag. going to modify it to fit the glock 43x or 48 but ill keep you posted in the comments. definitely definitely worth it if it works.

one youtuber modded that 18round mag and it fits the 43x and you dont have to switch the mag release to run s15 mags. that was a marketing scheme to take another 40$ on top of the mag.

Sheild arms s15 should come with 48 and 43x and now you can grip chop 43x and make a 10 and 15 round gun now .glock will always have aftermarket.

i have a 20 round hack for the 43x but i aint sharin

I rotate carry between the mete mc9 and glock 48 mos I like the canik way more as far as shooting goes
