The balance in "square-type" pistols like the G45 is awesome. No surprise at their popularity. The fact that so many LE switched from the G17 speaks volumes. Keep up the great work, man. Happy New Year.
I’ve been a Glock guy for the last 30 years and I love them. I work every day in the worst condition for a gun where they are exposed to see water, sweat, and sand. Recently bought a Canik mc9. I disassemble both guns side by side, my glove 23 and my Canik mc9, I have to confess that it was surprised by the quality of construction of the Canik, all of the metal parts are thicker and stronger than the Glock, and I mean every single part. Don’t follow the instructions of any of those stupid videos saying that you need to polish every part in the Canik for them to function properly. In the beginning of the production, they were using a striker spring two hard and stiff to compensate for pressure impose by the recoil spring. Just replace the striker For a Glock spring, which will be reducing about 2 pounds and it will work flawlessly. Remember, event, log had done some mistakes, just thinking about the Glock 44 and 66. No gun manufacture have a 100% perfect record. Canix are extremely tough guns, probably the best construction on polymer guns out there.
I am a stock Glock guy. I train at the range almost every week with my Glocks and others i.e. Cz, IWI, Steyr, Kimber. I am use to the Glock trigger and sites so no upgrades for me. Thank for the review.
People want striker triggers to be like 1911 triggers. Instead they need to realize they are more like a colt double action revolver. Once I started to think of them that way, the gen 5 trigger is awesome
I have had a couple 43X's and always end up selling them off. I have a MC9LS on hold at my LGS and should be picking it up in a few days and look forward to shooting it. They are a bit "chunky" but they shoot great. Great review and lets see the rifle.
Capacity is great unless you live in a state that has a maximum capacity limit. Then 10 rounds or less is what you have to work with. Then it comes down to which one fits your hand best.
I chose the MC9 over the 43x because of the price and capacity. But you're right, its heavy when loaded up. I can only imagine how much more heavy the MC9L is with 17 rounds than the 43x
Carry with pilgrim bullets! Theyre 50grain, low in weight and high in velocity and doesnt make the gun feel as heavy when all loaded up. Thats what i use when i carry my Mc9
I don't mind the weight. Its a 3.5 oz difference. In holsters the size difference is minimal however the regular mc9 is shorter than the 43x and has 2 more rounds. If someone wants a short barrel skinny glock 19 gun.... this works. Unless you love the glock grip angle. Then why discuss and everything glock.
Nick, Very good comparison. Too many people FUDD a gun before even shooting it with the sights it comes with. Let's see some rifle footage. Thank you very much. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week. LORD GOD Bless and stay vigilant.
Love the vid! Obviously I'm brand new to this game. Right now I lean Glock because of that track record of reliability. I know canik's are great, I've held a couple, very nice pistols. But I like the idea of knowing that when I pick up a Glock it's going to go bang. And if anything happens i can walk into my local gun shops and get what I need for it. Where the Canik becomes compelling to me is the MC9LS and if I'd get it over a Hellcat Pro or P365 XMacro. But in that 3.5 inch barrel range 100% give me the Glock.
I haven’t shot the MC9L yet but from what have seen the 43X is a better choice. I think the 43 is not as snappy as people say it is and I’m not a Glock fan. Still prefer my 365’s but with night sights, a flat trigger shoe and PSA mags the 43 rocks.
The 43x dissappears in my hands, and I can smother it into submission. Shoots better than my 19. My GF owns the 43x and shoots a cannik tp9 for competition. She doesn't like the 43x so as soon as the mc9ls arrives in South Africa. She'll be switching to that forbher carry and ill take the 43x. So for her the same grip and feel as her comp gun makes it a a great option. That said. I also got a nocturne C as a baclup carry I love how that shoots and its the same as my shadow2 comp gun, so there's that.
MC9L all day over the 43x I have owned the 43x and the original mete mc9. When it came down to the original or the 43x I would pick the 43x but only because of the grip handle now that the MC9L has arrived it is just better shooting and has all the nice upgrades that the 43x don’t have as far as reliability I have never ever had a issue with canik or Glock but my new MC9 will be my new carry during certain months and my g19 will be my carry during certain months.
@@GoToSleep-i4z we have a RXM on the way. I don’t have a gen 3 on hand to compare it to though. We will put 1000 rounds through it and see how it does.
Canik Mc9L good gun but grip too long. It should be shortened with a 15 round magazine. In fact It is more aesthetic without a magazine, so it should have a small 15-round magazine.
I simply prefer it to the Canik. I’d carry the Shield Plus over either options though and that’s probably why I continue to get rid of the 43X. The 43X is smaller than the Shield Plus and the Canik so it’s in a different category for me. If I could only have one it would be the Shield Plus - it checks all of the boxes.
MC9 is a great pick for the money, Hellcat is superior, and the 43x is comfortably in the middle. The thing that cracks me up about Canik is how many doodads they include. Like, is there a gun somewhere in this box?😂

I like your no BS, straight to the point, simple comparison. That’s all I wanted. “I’m no expert. I just like to shoot.” Same here. Great video.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Kevin.
This is a great channel. Straight to the point.

Makes sense. It’s nice to live in a place that doesn’t have those requirements.
Great video. Both great options. I have a 43x and like it a lot. But being a fan of Canik will likely get a MC9LS also
They both are great options. Tough to pick one.
I chose the MC9 over the 43x because of the price and capacity. But you're right, its heavy when loaded up. I can only imagine how much more heavy the MC9L is with 17 rounds than the 43x
The price is a good point. I should have touched on it a bit.
You can get a 15 round mag for the 43x at Shield Arms.

@@Dkingerytrue but reliability is varied.
Great content, looking forward to your videos with the H&K CC9. A solid contender in micro EDC class.
Can’t believe i found you out in the wild, Im a big fan of Navarre also! Nice to see you again Nick.
This is a new adventure. The kayak parts business is still what I do all day. Thanks for the support.
@ Might be time to get a FFL and get a new business venture going
Not enough hours in the day for that one!

Thanks for watching. I think we will find a way to film the new hunting rifle in a video sometime.
My 2 favorite factory stock triggers are my TP9SF-Elite and my Walther Creed ...

Glock is the easy answer. It’s simple and it works. Hard to go wrong.
Went to the store and tried to hold the 43x, same issue as all glocks for me. It just doesnt fit.
I then held that S&W shield plus, felt much better!
It’s hard to beat a Shield Plus.
Get both. They're both great
@@boyangles6405 facts. That’s the best option.
I have both but trust my 43x over Canik any day.
Having faith in a system is important. That’s why I also pick the 43X.
43X for me but the canik is a nice pistol.
It is a nice pistol. Tough choices.
I haven’t shot the MC9L yet but from what have seen the 43X is a better choice. I think the 43 is not as snappy as people say it is and I’m not a Glock fan. Still prefer my 365’s but with night sights, a flat trigger shoe and PSA mags the 43 rocks.
@@BYoun69 at the end of the day every gun you mentioned would do the job. I tend to come back to the 43X though.
I love my canik mc9ls. Makes me not want to pick up glocks anytime soon😂
@@freecaliswag there’s nothing wrong with that! I want to get my hands on the LS one day.
I carry the 43x for personal defense. I bought the Canik Mete MC9LS just to shoot for fun. No reason you can’t own both! 😊
Facts. Might as well own them all. Just in case.
The 43x dissappears in my hands, and I can smother it into submission. Shoots better than my 19.
My GF owns the 43x and shoots a cannik tp9 for competition. She doesn't like the 43x so as soon as the mc9ls arrives in South Africa. She'll be switching to that forbher carry and ill take the 43x.
So for her the same grip and feel as her comp gun makes it a a great option.
That said. I also got a nocturne C as a baclup carry I love how that shoots and its the same as my shadow2 comp gun, so there's that.
They are all great guns
MC9L all day over the 43x I have owned the 43x and the original mete mc9.

Makes sense to me. Everybody has a personal preferences.
@ it would be cool if you did a video on the new ruger RXM vs a Glock 19 gen 3 since that’s what the ruger is.
@@GoToSleep-i4z we have a RXM on the way. I don’t have a gen 3 on hand to compare it to though. We will put 1000 rounds through it and see how it does.
@ well I appreciate you responding to my comments you earned a new subscriber it’s awesome when TH-camrs are active with the community.
@@GoToSleep-i4z I appreciate the support!
Sadly I don’t even look at my Glocks anymore thanks for the memories Glock but CANIK GOT IT FROM HERE .
Everyone has their preferences. Nothing wrong with it.
Yes please ,
Dry fire a G43....feels hard and heavy...BUT they shoot great. Must stick that t finger further in the hole, might feel weird at the beginning
The trigger does feel much different when shooting compared to dry firing.
Can you do a video on 43x vs the Shield Plus that you have?
I think that is a great idea.
Canik Mc9L good gun but grip too long. It should be shortened with a 15 round magazine. In fact It is more aesthetic without a magazine, so it should have a small 15-round magazine.
I agree.
You said you got rid of about 3 previous 43x. So.why chose that over the Canik??
I simply prefer it to the Canik. I’d carry the Shield Plus over either options though and that’s probably why I continue to get rid of the 43X. The 43X is smaller than the Shield Plus and the Canik so it’s in a different category for me. If I could only have one it would be the Shield Plus - it checks all of the boxes.
Wish list, 43x & canik mete mc9ls.
Can’t go wrong with that wish list.
MC9 is a great pick for the money, Hellcat is superior, and the 43x is comfortably in the middle.
The thing that cracks me up about Canik is how many doodads they include. Like, is there a gun somewhere in this box?😂
The Hellcat is a great pistol. I enjoyed shooting the Pro Comp and I still have it. I’ll pull it back out and compare it to the MC9L sometime.
Here for this 🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃
Thanks, Joey.
