I have been writing to Walther for 10 damn years begging them to make a PPQ-PPS hybrid and they must have thrown out my requests and/or given them to Canik. I'm sick of being a disappointed Walther fanboy. I'm getting one of these, taking a picture of it, and sending it with a copy of all my letters to Walther with a big "FU, thanks for nothing" on the front..
I wouldn’t say Canik is surpassing Walther. That’s a big statement. Yes Canik has more to offer in selections and different pistol class more than Walther but it’s Quality. I’m a Walther fan boy just like you. PPS is good lil shooter I have both ppq and pps. Don’t forget Canik clone after walther p99. The thing with Walther is once they do release a gun it’s bad ass but it’s worth the wait IMO
Walther as bigger company probably has a board of managers/directors that decides which products need to be made and sold to make revenue goals. Canik knows what US market needs and makes it. No drama.
I’m mad because I just caught on to this awesome company in the gun world!!! Have a canik TP9 S ordered but waiting on the micro compact to come available! For my carry style the under 3.5 to 3.2 are my most comfortable length!!!
Got a full blackout one a couple days ago due to the recommendation of everyone in the shop. They recommended the Glock 48X but I wanted something different from the masses, so they showed me the MC9. I bought it without knowing how great it is. No buyers remorse here.
I give Canik mete mc9 A plus because not to many manufacturers Won't provide a case and tools for this great price and pistol great video on how to takedown your Adult toy😊
Man I really love my TP9SF and Mete SFX, and I think one of these will be next on my list. Definitely want to get the two tone to match my Mete SFX. Great review, much love from Texas.
Well done comparison and the minor differences between the two. Canik is knocking it out the park and I will seriously consider adding this to my collection. I’ll hold until after the range tests with you and Miss Tia. Thank you for the excellent videos!
Just purchased 1 a week ago haven't gotten out to the range yet but I have plans on going tomorrow first shots nice video very much appreciate ur knowledge and insight 👍 made me feel good about my purchase this is my 2nd canik i have the tpsf elite great firearm figured the mete is just the smaller version.
It would be really helpful if you did a follow up to this video with some side by side comparisons of other "micro compact" pistols like the Hellcat, Shield plus, and such just to see how much of a difference there is in width of frame between them. It appears smaller than a full size in width yet takes a true double stack magazine which is an astounding feat in of itself. I am super curious to see the range-day results, as I am definitely a fan of Canik firearms and their triggers. Should be interesting to see, and not for nothing the idea of more than one backstrap is a major plus in this segment so I am curious to hear your and Teya's thoughts on that feature. This could very well be my next carry piece.
It's too easyforcamer angles of lens focal length to distort your perception of things like that. Check the specs if tenths of an inch mean that much to you.
@@GBGuns it is the same width as a shield plus @ 1.1" which makes the true double stack magazine architecture a mind blowing feat of engineering. I think that it boils down to the type of polymer compound used to make the grip and frame and maintain structural integrity. The thickness of the grip walls on the MC9 look very thin like the Sig 365 whereas the grip wall on the shield, Max9, and others appear much thicker. 1.12" is very respectably narrow and should definitely make for a discrete carry. Not to mention it is on par with the Shield plus, Hellcat Pro, and Sig 365XL as far as width. The Max-9 is the slimmest at 0.95" but I did not like how that pistol shot at all. Its best quality was the hybrid Tritium/Fiber optic front sight. I am super intrigued by the Mete MC9 and am anxiously awaiting your range review.
@@darrinbarnard6797 the micro dagger does have my interests peaked a bit but honestly if the MC9 trigger is anywhere near as good as its larger siblings it is a no brainer as IMO it is by far the best out of the box striker trigger on a pistol that does not say PPQ or PDP on the slide 😉.
I bought a Canik 4 years ago Since then they have been coming out every six months with a variant, update, or improvement to their TP9 line of pistols…it is truly mind blowing. They need a manufacturing plant in the US asap!!!
It's nice to see the more budget friendly, but still quality, brands coming out with Micro compact guns for carry. This, and the PSA Micro Dagger are both on my list to check out. I would really like to see micro compacts form the other budget friendly brands form Turkey like SAR, Tisas, and Girsan. It's always nice to have competition in the market, which also creates options for us. Thank you for the review, can't wait to see it shoot.
Another awesome review! I have been watching your reviews for several years now and they are always highly professional, informative and extremely well done overall! Keep them coming! Thanks
I picked up the sc to replace my hellcat but found it to bulky for my taste. Would love to see a side by side comparison with the more popular micro compact like hellcat, 365 , shield plus . I really love the canik trigger but u brought up a good point of having too ligt of a trigger on a carry option . Looking forward to the shooting impressions and what you think .
The sweet spot is 4.5 pounds on a micro pistol. If this thing is 3.5 pounds then that's honestly ridiculous. 3.5 is literally the weight of a lot of competition pistols. I had a bad feeling that canik was going to make the trigger too light. For the most part this thing is a pocket pistol so 3.5 pounds is dangerous with fabric and leather holsters. You would literally be stuck with hard material holsters unless you wanted to risk harming yourself. Then again maybe they made it heavier than 3.5 pounds. Wish he would have tested the trigger weight!!
I've been waiting for your breakdown on this! The added thin-ness, compatibility with the larger Canik mags (so it can use my Mete Pro mags), the trigger 👌, and that price. I am disappointed that the holster isn't an AIWB style, I had heard rumors that this would have one. This will push my GX4 to the safe 😆
Canik triggers especially the reset is second to none. I don't really carry any of my caniks cuz i have smaller options but i have them setup for home defense with lights and sfx mags. Checkout bloody wheels if u need grip sleeves for your canik sc or taurus g2c
I may want to get one of these to alternate carry with my Hellcat. I was considering the SC Elite when I was shopping, but decided on the Hellcat because it was so much more concealable. This is only a tiny bit bigger than the Hellcat, and if the trigger is anything similar to the SC Elite, then it will be absolutely fantastic.
Canik makes great guns. Full Stop. If friends or acquaintances mention wanting to get into guns, I direct them to Canik and Walther PDPs. I have carried the Canik TP9 Elite SC and just love it. I think it is bested by the Walther PDP-F. Incorrectly marketed "for women," although it is a great gun for women, it too is simply an excellent handgun with a stellar trigger that has been a hit with every man who has tried it. Can't go wrong with Canik. Solid engineering, good grip, great trigger and both fun and easy to shoot well, all at a solid price point.
Thanks for posting!! "Janick" is the pronunciation, in Turkish, the C is usually a J sound. They're gonna get real popular... Turkish gun makers, they're making REALLY good pistols....shotguns....not so much... But ALL Turkish made pistols I've fired are just insanely good for the money. Especially in the reliability realm.
You know Canik is on point when they beat Walther to the punch with a P365 competitor. I've been begging Walther to produce a PPQ-PPS hybrid for 10 years.
I have a elite and almost bought an elite sc but there just wasn't enough difference in size. This just might be my next purchase. Thanks for the video
Love Canik. I personally know 3 individuals who own them. I used to own a TP9sf elite, but traded it in om a CZ P07. Miss the Canik, it was awesome. May get another.
Can't wait to get mine! A side by side size comparison to the Shield Plus would be nice to see. On paper they are almost the exact same size. "On paper..." Interesting with the SC mag with the pinky extension not locking in the MC. They were supposed to all be interchangeable. Not a big deal since all my guns have their own handful of mags, but interesting nonetheless.
@@jamesmanning8795 Just so happens I have a couple extra base plates that came with my Rival. I need to see a comparison with the SC pinkie extension and the one that comes with the MC. Something weird about that. They should be the same. Guess I will get to do the comparison myself when I get my own MC9.
Interesting little gun, I"d pick one up if I weren't already swimming in pistols in this category. I might anyway if they decide to offer it in that sexy tungsten cerakote.
Finally, a non-industry video of it, I have 'short listed' this for EDC for two reasons, Better trigger shape than my PDP (the blade just kills me) but 2, like the PDP, this has that giant ambi slide lever, medical issues mean my hands don't work right that slise 'paddle' makes running my PDP nice n easy....oh and I'm a lefty, so ambi is nice.
the canik slide release is one of the better ones out there. i think it has too much flex, but the size and shape are great. it's something i am reminded of every time i try to use the slide release on my g43x. if you put a red dot on it, you can use the dot body to rack the slide. might get some finger prints on your lens, but it makes racking the slide ridiculously fast and easy.
@@Catgat37 I would love for them to come out an actual PDP micro. Like they did with the PPQ SC. That was an amazing little gun. I wish I would have kept mine.
@@infidel24 I get it. I have traded off multiple firearms and regretted a few of those. I think I found a winner with Walthers though. I bought a Q4 SF for a hell of a deal last month and from there I bought a PPQ M2 and a PPS M2. Have 2 more Walthers on layaway. They are just great guns. I think they should release a staggered stack version of the PPS and label it the M3. It should have the grip length as the current gen with the 7 round magazine but make it flush fit and try to squeeze 11 rounds into there. I don't however see that happening anytime soon. They are too focused currently on the PDP line. What I would really like to see is a revision of a P88 champion.
I've been carrying a PPS M1 for close to 13 years. Every now and then I've debated getting a micro 9 to replace it. I've never have because I'd always find a goofy quirk in whatever pistol I was looking at. I'd love to see a M3 or PDP SC to address the only real issue I have with the PPS. That it is low capacity by 2023 standards.
Great video. I've been interested in this firearm since I saw the video from Shot Show. Currently carrying a Hellcat so i'm interested in the comparison. Thanks for comparing to TP 9 SC as well as i'm interested in that one too
I view this as direct competition to the P365 but is larger & heavier than the P365 so would like to see a comparison in accuracy & felt recoil with this & the P365. Also, can you pocket carry this as well as the P365?
I'm newer to Pistols I went with a Canik rival for my first one and recently got a shield plus performance center for carry. I haven't got to shoot a p365,hellcat, or caniks carry guns. I'm not sure if I want to keep my shield or trade it for something else. It does have the 4" barrel but it weighs about the same. I'm a little jealous you got the Rival metal frame I wish I would of been able to get that
The trigger looks really good. Never shot a Canik before.... but (if I'm not mistaken), they're supposed to have some of the best triggers. Always get FN, Canik and one other brand mixed up... so I could be wrong. Anyways, it reminds me of a Glock with an 8lb connector. I know 8lbs seems a little heavy for a Glock trigger, but it has a very short break and is more like a single action than the lighter connectors... and you can significantly decrease the weight with a trigger job, making it more similar to a single action (if you like that kind of trigger). I actually prefer it stock with the 8lb connector. Don't think 8lbs is a bad trigger at all (esp with such a short break)... so I actually recommend them for EDC. In my opinion, they add a little bit of extra safety, but without making the trigger any worse.
I’m contemplating trading my SC in for this, I just couldn’t get on board with the SC as it was just to big to be a true sub compact and just didn’t compete with other brands in the micro compact category.
Was a Glock “fanboy” for over 20 years. Canik is absolutely the best firearm on the market for the value! Period. Hard stop. You just can’t beat their out-of-the-box product for what you pay. There is not another firearm company right now that can touch Canik for what they provide. Can’t even be a logical argument against it (Usually from someone who doesn’t own one and loves “their” own gun brand). Lol I still carry the 43X with shield mags as my EDC, but I have literally waited three years for Canik to come out with their version to compete against the 43x. As soon as I can port that slide on the Mete MC9, that will absolutely become my EDC. Hands down!
It’s gonna be hard for me to decide what to get when the dagger micro comes out. The Canik mc9 or dagger micro. I have the full size sfx and the dagger and I love them both. Ahhhh so many decisions. Thanks for the great reviews.
@@whatsup24_7 I shoot the dagger well. I do have a apex trigger to put in it. The trigger isn’t awful to me. The grip on the dagger is so great. Feels so good in the hand.
@@scottschreiber6008 that hump or one finger groove or whatever PSA wants to call it is in the way of my grip. My friend had one and he dremeled it down because it affected his grip too. That and the trigger are the 2 biggest complaints by people. If the trigger wasn't awful you wouldn't have bought an Apex trigger for it which is 1/3 the price of the gun. Haha
@@whatsup24_7 the original acct trigger was awful. The dagger trigger to most of us is very manageable. I bought a apex try because I got a extremely good price on it. My wife doesn’t complain about her’s at all. No, it’s not a sfx trigger by any means, but far from awful. A lot of people are trigger snobs. Go watch “the firearms guy” video where he makes fun of trigger snobs. Very inlightning. I have a new trigger for it and extra mags and still not spent as much as a Glock. Some people have to have the “brand name” stuff. I certainly don’t. Enjoy your weekend.
I agree with re-holstering. Always thought it was best (whenever possible) to remove the holster, then reholster the gun and then reinstall the holster on your belt. Have seen too many accidental discharges from re-holstering and/or from people not paying attention while they re-holster to later find out that something got in their trigger guard (when the gun goes off from them bending over or while they're getting out of their car, etc... etc...). I know it's not always feasible... but it's worth the extra 2 seconds if you have a holster that can be removed and reinstalled quickly (like the vast majority of IWB/AIWB holsters with clips, over-hooks or the soft loops).
I never cared for the Canik pistols. Particularly because they didn't fit comfortably in my hands. I do like the current micro pistols that a ammunition capacity greater than 12 rounds. So, I'm anxious to try this one out.
Was interested in the sc but it's too bulky for me to be considered subcompact. This is perfect and unlike the hellcat and 365 you can put an actual extended magazine (20 rounds ) as well as change the back straps..I'm very impressed and I'm definitely going to buy this pistol. I wonder how much it cost and if you can get it with factory night sights
Great table review, this handgun catches my attention as it looks that the grip is just a hair thicker or wider potentially making it more shootable compared to the other micro 9’s while bringing all the goods at a stellar price. I look forward to your range report and comparing it to the p365 and the hellcat.
I am EXCITED to see how this shoots. I love Canik firearms, and I always said I just wish the sc had more texture. This answered my wishes. Looking forward to the range review because I am definitely looking at this for my ccw.
The smaller trigger guard makes sense on a ccw pistol honestly. Unless you have sausage fingers you don't really need a large oversized trigger guard to accommodate tactical gloves. There might be an argument about winter gloves but for the majority of engagements it's fine. I don't see too many people who practice their draw wearing mittens anyway. Some people carry a different gun in the winter season anyway.

hey man what barrel did u use to swap you're Rival to gold?
How the heck did you get one already?! I’m so jealous.
What size punch you use to knock that pin out for the back strap? My included punch is broken lol.
How in the world did Canik beat Walther to the market with this??? GOOD FOR CANIK WELL DONE!!!
Was about to say the exact same thing. Canik surpasses Walther (which I love) in this sub compact category.
I have been writing to Walther for 10 damn years begging them to make a PPQ-PPS hybrid and they must have thrown out my requests and/or given them to Canik. I'm sick of being a disappointed Walther fanboy. I'm getting one of these, taking a picture of it, and sending it with a copy of all my letters to Walther with a big "FU, thanks for nothing" on the front..
Walther isn't nearly as big a company as people think. Also Umarex seems to be calling the shots. They aren't innovating like they used to.
I wouldn’t say Canik is surpassing Walther. That’s a big statement. Yes Canik has more to offer in selections and different pistol class more than Walther but it’s
Quality. I’m a Walther fan boy just like you. PPS is good lil shooter I have both ppq and pps. Don’t forget Canik clone after walther p99. The thing with Walther is once they do release a gun it’s bad ass but it’s worth the wait IMO
Walther as bigger company probably has a board of managers/directors that decides which products need to be made and sold to make revenue goals. Canik knows what US market needs and makes it. No drama.
Canik has been really killing it last few years. You get so much for money!
Not a canik owner but I shot em before and it's definitely a really good bang for your buck (no pun intended 🤣)
They can charge a lot less when the research and development is stolen lol
Not talkin shit tho, caniks are sick
I’m mad because I just caught on to this awesome company in the gun world!!! Have a canik TP9 S ordered but waiting on the micro compact to come available! For my carry style the under 3.5 to 3.2 are my most comfortable length!!!
Way way better then Glocks in my opinion
You are the first American video I can find of it
Can’t wait to see the range time! Heavily considering getting one already.
Can't wait for this to become available. Looking foward to the range review!
Ditto
Got a full blackout one a couple days ago due to the recommendation of everyone in the shop. They recommended the Glock 48X but I wanted something different from the masses, so they showed me the MC9. I bought it without knowing how great it is. No buyers remorse here.
I'm so excited about this new Canik , first tabletop review , can't wait to see the shooting impression and whats for dinner test .
I am a Canik-fanatik. Hence, I can not wait for your shooting impressions to make my final determination. Thanks, GB.
Should be a flawless What's For Dinner/range vid knowing Canik (or Janik) as we do!
I give Canik mete mc9 A plus because not to many manufacturers Won't provide a case and tools for this great price and pistol great video on how to takedown your Adult toy😊
Impressive upgrade.
Man I really love my TP9SF and Mete SFX, and I think one of these will be next on my list. Definitely want to get the two tone to match my Mete SFX. Great review, much love from Texas.

Always appreciate the detail you go into on all your reviews! 😊
I know it's almost a Walther, but I keep hoping that Walther releases a micro.
The PDP-F series 3.5" may be as close as they ever get to a micro 9.
They have a Micro 9. I know that capacity isn't the greatest on it. But it is a very nice shooting micro 9.
@@Catgat37 I would love for them to come out an actual PDP micro.
Like they did with the PPQ SC.
That was an amazing little gun. I wish I would have kept mine.
@@infidel24 I get it. I have traded off multiple firearms and regretted a few of those. I think I found a winner with Walthers though. I bought a Q4 SF for a hell of a deal last month and from there I bought a PPQ M2 and a PPS M2. Have 2 more Walthers on layaway. They are just great guns. I think they should release a staggered stack version of the PPS and label it the M3. It should have the grip length as the current gen with the 7 round magazine but make it flush fit and try to squeeze 11 rounds into there. I don't however see that happening anytime soon. They are too focused currently on the PDP line. What I would really like to see is a revision of a P88 champion.
I've been carrying a PPS M1 for close to 13 years. Every now and then I've debated getting a micro 9 to replace it. I've never have because I'd always find a goofy quirk in whatever pistol I was looking at. I'd love to see a M3 or PDP SC to address the only real issue I have with the PPS. That it is low capacity by 2023 standards.
I can't wait to get one
Awesome reviews..I have the SC ..thanks for the comparison between the two.. definitely gonna pick one up as soon as they hit my local stores
Need to find one and get my paws on it. Looking forward to your range video.
I just picked up my canik rival and I absolutely love it. I'm am really curious about this gun and might have to pick one up as well
Hell yah awesome review!! 👌 cant wait to get my hands on one
Thanks
Great video. I've been interested in this firearm since I saw the video from Shot Show. Currently carrying a Hellcat so i'm interested in the comparison. Thanks for comparing to TP 9 SC as well as i'm interested in that one too
I miss the Megadeth intro 😢 great vid!
Haha, I do too. Even though it was protected under "fair use" we dropped it to avoid hassle from TH-cam as well as shorten the video a bit.
Canik finaly getting the respect they deserve
We've been with Canik since 2016
Canik makes the MC01 Red dot fits Perfect
I view this as direct competition to the P365 but is larger & heavier than the P365 so would like to see a comparison in accuracy & felt recoil with this & the P365. Also, can you pocket carry this as well as the P365?
dont they look so cute! awesome in deed. the best of the best. all the competitors a speachless.
Ready for canik to get into a different caliber
I'm newer to Pistols I went with a Canik rival for my first one and recently got a shield plus performance center for carry. I haven't got to shoot a p365,hellcat, or caniks carry guns. I'm not sure if I want to keep my shield or trade it for something else. It does have the 4" barrel but it weighs about the same. I'm a little jealous you got the Rival metal frame I wish I would of been able to get that
awesome video. got down to the wire, love the info helped me understand more about it
was waiting for this..👍👍
The trigger looks really good. Never shot a Canik before.... but (if I'm not mistaken), they're supposed to have some of the best triggers. Always get FN, Canik and one other brand mixed up... so I could be wrong. Anyways, it reminds me of a Glock with an 8lb connector. I know 8lbs seems a little heavy for a Glock trigger, but it has a very short break and is more like a single action than the lighter connectors... and you can significantly decrease the weight with a trigger job, making it more similar to a single action (if you like that kind of trigger). I actually prefer it stock with the 8lb connector. Don't think 8lbs is a bad trigger at all (esp with such a short break)... so I actually recommend them for EDC. In my opinion, they add a little bit of extra safety, but without making the trigger any worse.
Excited for this one
I can't wait for the new segment "Trigger Talk" sounds exciting.
We've had "Trigger Talk" for a couple hundred videos.
@GBGuns Sorry I must have missed it before now. When you get to shooting impressions, I'm curious how this compares to the M&P Shield Plus.
Unfortunately we've not reviewed the Shield Plus.
@GBGuns Graham, Could you put it on the short list to review. PLEASE and THANK YOU!
We'll see what the Patrons think, they're the ones funding purchases.
I’m contemplating trading my SC in for this, I just couldn’t get on board with the SC as it was just to big to be a true sub compact and just didn’t compete with other brands in the micro compact category.
Great channel. Great review. Great gun.
Thank you for throwing in the SC comparison. That was my 1st thought when I heard about this coming out. Curious how it compares shooting as well.
Mete MC9...WHOOOOOOOOWWWW HOOOOOOOO!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🤩😍🤩😍😱🥳🥳🥳🥳
Was a Glock “fanboy” for over 20 years. Canik is absolutely the best firearm on the market for the value! Period. Hard stop. You just can’t beat their out-of-the-box product for what you pay. There is not another firearm company right now that can touch Canik for what they provide. Can’t even be a logical argument against it (Usually from someone who doesn’t own one and loves “their” own gun brand). Lol I still carry the 43X with shield mags as my EDC, but I have literally waited three years for Canik to come out with their version to compete against the 43x. As soon as I can port that slide on the Mete MC9, that will absolutely become my EDC. Hands down!
I love all my canik's smooth like butter!
It’s gonna be hard for me to decide what to get when the dagger micro comes out. The Canik mc9 or dagger micro. I have the full size sfx and the dagger and I love them both. Ahhhh so many decisions. Thanks for the great reviews.
That's an easy decision for me..I'd get the Canik micro compact over the mini dagger. The PSA trigger sucks.
@@whatsup24_7 I shoot the dagger well. I do have a apex trigger to put in it. The trigger isn’t awful to me. The grip on the dagger is so great. Feels so good in the hand.
@@scottschreiber6008 that hump or one finger groove or whatever PSA wants to call it is in the way of my grip. My friend had one and he dremeled it down because it affected his grip too. That and the trigger are the 2 biggest complaints by people. If the trigger wasn't awful you wouldn't have bought an Apex trigger for it which is 1/3 the price of the gun. Haha
@@whatsup24_7 the original acct trigger was awful. The dagger trigger to most of us is very manageable. I bought a apex try because I got a extremely good price on it. My wife doesn’t complain about her’s at all. No, it’s not a sfx trigger by any means, but far from awful. A lot of people are trigger snobs. Go watch “the firearms guy” video where he makes fun of trigger snobs. Very inlightning. I have a new trigger for it and extra mags and still not spent as much as a Glock. Some people have to have the “brand name” stuff. I certainly don’t. Enjoy your weekend.
@@scottschreiber6008 yes I watch all of Dan's videos, great channel and he lives fairly close to me.
I agree with re-holstering. Always thought it was best (whenever possible) to remove the holster, then reholster the gun and then reinstall the holster on your belt. Have seen too many accidental discharges from re-holstering and/or from people not paying attention while they re-holster to later find out that something got in their trigger guard (when the gun goes off from them bending over or while they're getting out of their car, etc... etc...). I know it's not always feasible... but it's worth the extra 2 seconds if you have a holster that can be removed and reinstalled quickly (like the vast majority of IWB/AIWB holsters with clips, over-hooks or the soft loops).
I never cared for the Canik pistols. Particularly because they didn't fit comfortably in my hands. I do like the current micro pistols that a ammunition capacity greater than 12 rounds. So, I'm anxious to try this one out.
That is soo much value for the price!
Was interested in the sc but it's too bulky for me to be considered subcompact. This is perfect and unlike the hellcat and 365 you can put an actual extended magazine (20 rounds ) as well as change the back straps..I'm very impressed and I'm definitely going to buy this pistol. I wonder how much it cost and if you can get it with factory night sights
Love the look and size of the gun.
Great table review, this handgun catches my attention as it looks that the grip is just a hair thicker or wider potentially making it more shootable compared to the other micro 9’s while bringing all the goods at a stellar price. I look forward to your range report and comparing it to the p365 and the hellcat.
Really nice presentation. Thank you
I am EXCITED to see how this shoots. I love Canik firearms, and I always said I just wish the sc had more texture. This answered my wishes. Looking forward to the range review because I am definitely looking at this for my ccw.
The smaller trigger guard makes sense on a ccw pistol honestly. Unless you have sausage fingers you don't really need a large oversized trigger guard to accommodate tactical gloves. There might be an argument about winter gloves but for the majority of engagements it's fine. I don't see too many people who practice their draw wearing mittens anyway. Some people carry a different gun in the winter season anyway.
That's my thought. If it's cold enough for heavy gloves it's cold enough for a bigger gun
@@GBGuns exactly.
He has a lot of Caniks. I like it
this might be my next EDC
As far as striker fired pistols Canik are top of the pyramid. I have a Rival Darkside and it's awesome.
They don't top Walther and CZ but they do have pretty good triggers.
How are you the only channel who got hold of one? Nice work.
