- Mounting a Holosun X2 series micro red dot sight to the new Canik Mete is not as straight forward as you would think. This is a some what quick video on what you'll have to do, to make it work.

Really great video man. Very informative, because I just purchased the Mete Sfx. I am going to purchase the holosun and the streamlight. You made it look easy, and I appreciated that. Keep doing the videos dude.
I didn’t even field strip it. I just locked the slide back and it gives access to those punch holes! Thank you for the video brother. I wanted to make sure I did it right.
Good idea.
Hey, this is not all you need to do... The front dimples are too tall as well. You can look under and see they hold it off the plate. I used a sharp razor knife to remove the back two and same to shave off a hair of the front two. Was fairly easy. Fyi... On a hellcat these 4 dimples are metal and you have to use a grinder same way, remove back two and shave down the front two so the sight sits flat... Thanks for the video, helped me to get started.
great video - easy to follow. had me grinning at 8.58 - "just like Tabasco, I pretty much put this shxt on everything" - classic. thank you.
Thank you! Thought I was crazy when my Holosun 407k didnt fit either. A tiny filing worked perfectly! 10/10 great content!
My SFT is set up the exact same way, same light and i’m buying the 407k now, thank you for the help!
Just bought my Mete SFT and only have about 200 rounds through it. What do you think of it after a few months of ownership and shooting?
@@robertd9850 i used it throughout my school criminal justice program summer course, used over 1000 rounds, love it. great trigger, firm wall, crisp break!
@@Vonstrangl Thanks. Just took mine out again to the range again yesterday. Really nice gun.
Awesome video, I was struggling until this video was played.
Thank you.
Super helpful video! I Mounted that optic on a mete sft. Filing two of the nobs off of those cheap adapter plates worked fine. If I could go back I would have just bought a higher quality metal adapter plate from freedom gorilla, but shaving the plates works well enough
Hell of an explanation that was simple and to the point. 💯🍻
Used my wife's nail file on the nubs taped the edges i didnt wanna hit to protect them. Glad i found this video I wasnt sure if grinding em was ok at first seemed like an odd thing to have to do especially for the optic most people are gonna buy for this gun. Just used the locktite the came on it ,dont have a torque wrench so I hand tightened it like you did . Doubt it walks loose. 407k Green dot used a laser snap cap to zero it gonna shoot it tmo and see if its on
I thought taking the two nubs off was weird also. But I figured the optic only has two holes in it, so what difference would it make to the optic.
I looked all over for a torque spec for either the holosun or canik. The only thing I found was a company that says they put them on a 5 inch pounds. Which is probably less than hand tight.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video instructions. I recently bought a Rival. It is so new that there aren't any videos installing a Holosun on them yet. I figure it is basically the same, except with the Rival, you get 5 plates in the package. Maybe it will keep me from having to grinds the nubs off a plate. I think I am going to try the 507c ACSS with the chevron reticle.
I think the Rival has the plates, more like the TP series not the Mete series.
Let me know what you think about the rival..
😬 me, when I saw the rival shortly after buying a Mete.
Great video. Easy to follow directions.
Nicely done!
Thank you for making it clear and easy
Has anyone tried jus mounting them straight to the slide?
Great instructional video!
Appreciated. I spent a little time getting used to my iron sights on my Mete SFx, and I'm now researching optics. I narrowed down to Holosun 507k, 407k, and the Swampfox Sentinel. To be honest, I'm leaning toward the "407k" for 3 reasons: it's offered in GREEN dot, it's 6 moa...compared to "2" moa on the 507k, and finally - price. Swampfox seems decent, but the business and rep is just so young, and their pricing is just too close to Holosun for me not to go with the reputable. Side question: Does the 407k co-witness with the SFT/SFX METE okay?
Co-witnessing is pretty good. You only lose the bottom 1/4-1/3 of the front sight. I don't think there would be any reason to switch to suppressor sights.
I was going to go with the 507 at first, until I did some looking around. And saw almost everyone saying that they never use the extras with the 507 over the 407. So I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra money.
As for the swampfox. I don't know anything about them. This was actually my first Holosun product because of the same reason. I also tend to lean towards the tried and true brands.
Good luck..
I just installed the 407k on my sfx mete, it co-witnes's just fine
@@marcreed4031 I actually just installed mine about 2-3 weeks ago, and got it sighted in. Like he showed in the video, it's just a small bit of easy filing to get the fit.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
MEH-TAY! Great video, thanks!
Definitely lot of help appreciated the vid brotha 💪🏼
My hijo San won’t fit in between the guards on the plastic mount
This is my exact set up. No idea you ran the same.
Went to out on the red dot, and had to sand down those two little nubs.
Good video - do you by chance have an OWB light holster for this - if so can you recommend?
What I do is have a local person make my OWB holsters for any of my pistols with optics,lights,or both. Then make sure they can make it adaptable to the Safariland ALS system. That way you can just swap back and forth without having to spend $200+ on each individual firearm.
The combinations of firearms to light, firearm to optic, firearm to light and optic is pretty vast. So finding a good holster that matches your particular set up is pretty hard. Legacy Firearms Co makes one for the Mete and TLR1, that doesn't look bad.
Good luck.
I went with Close Quarters Carry Holsters, tons of options and amazing quality, they had the option for the Baldr Pro R that I have on mine, Plus they are already cut for optics and offer plenty of options for The Mete's
"These lil dillywhoppers and things like that"😳😳😳 bro
It's a highly technical term..🙂
Perfect video!
You are great...
Which optic will mount directly to the slide without a plate? I thought the 407/507k would mount directly without a plate?
If you get an answer to this let me know. I have a rival but thought the plate was mandatory
@@LamboFit yeah everything I’ve read says a plate is required because otherwise the mounting screws have to take all the recoil. I was hoping someone found an optic that fit tight enough into the cut to prevent that but it’s not looking that way.
What holster you running for that exact setup? I know the factory one will accept the optic but not the light. Appreciate any info
I have a local guy who makes most of my holsters for me.
Got tired of trying to find them that match a setup.
Typically, if you ask around the local gun stores, they know of someone who does a good job at making them to your spec.
Which streamlight was that I couldn't make it out. Thanks for your video man I'm about to install a holosun on my mete sft pro.
TLR1
I have a TP9 elite SC. I bought the 407k holosun. Do I use the mounting plate that comes with it or the one in my canik box? When I installed the optic kinda felt like it was leaning forward a little. Any thoughts?
Should use the adapter plate that came with the Canik.
I'm confused on the plate part. Where did you get the plates from?
They came with the gun.
@@lastavocations9487 Thanks. I figured it out after a bit. Mine didn't come with anything. The range didn't even give me the box. Got some folks help on Reddit for an aftermarket solution. Appreciate the reply though.
anyone can say me if this dot fit on a glock 45 NON Mos ?? exist a plate mount adapt?
I have a HS507C X2 on a Taurus TX22 comp. I tried to mount it on my Mete SFX and the holes don't line up. Are the mounting holes on the 407 different??
Yes, the 507 is a little bit bigger than the 407.
But the 507 has the same base as the Trigicon RMR. So you should use the plastic plate for the RMR to mount a 507.
Why k and not c model on a full size handgun ?
I went with the K because it's noticeably thinner than the C. Also I like the square top over the rounded.
Saw some people mounting directly on without the plate. What are your thoughts on that?
The cut out on the slide is longer than the sight. Without the plate filler on the adapter, the screws would have to take 100% of the torque from the shock going back and forth. Just my opinion though..
@@lastavocations9487 since this is a plastic plate, could this present durability issues? If so, is there anywhere I could purchase a metal plate and still be able to co-witness with my iron sights?
I think it's durable "enough" for 99% of what ppl are going to do with a Canik.
If I was thinking about taking it into battle or a service pistol, I probably wouldn't bet my life on it. I would go with a direct mount for sure.
Yes, there are companies out there making aluminum plates for them. But I'd warn, that steel and aluminum in direct contact with each other with massive swings in tempature will result in fast corrosion issues.
@@lastavocations9487 Okay thank you! Also, since the screws would be taking 100% of the torque, would regular use cause the screws to become loose and lose zero? If so, would blue loctite be enough to hold zero?
The way I see it. The screws (mostly) hold it down vertically, and the little cut out it sits down inside holds it horizontally. That's why the slide cut out is so important.
If you torque the screws down to the proper in/lb, in the proper sequence, you shouldn't have any problems with it loosening up on you. And (I myself) put blue loctite on EVERYTHING.
One thing I recommend to ppl is to not fully sight it in until you've shot enough rounds through it to get the slide good and hot. Plastic and metal expand A LOT from heat at different rates (plastic less at faster rates and steel more at slower rates). And you've got an aluminum sight, mild steel screws, a plastic plate, and a hardened steel slide. So naturally, you're going to have different alignments at different tempatues. That's why it's so important that you don't over tighten your screws. Because if you've got those screws almost to their yield point at room temperature, when it gets hot and expands, it will stretch the screws past their yield point, and things will start to loosen up on you.
I can't get the hollow sun 407C to line up on the stud holes. Seems to be a wider optic sight?
Yeah, the Mete's are pretty limited on, which sights will mount to them compared to the TP series. I actually bought a Burris for this and found out the same way you did.
Did same thing bought the 407C.....
When is C&h gonna make a plate
Thank you!
has it been holding zero?
I was wondering the same thing, by using the plastic spacer.i think I saw somewhere they used a metal spacer on there's. Thanks for your input 👍 great video.
Are you the person I messaged about this in Canik Fanatik forums?
I don't think so.
Sanded down the nubs, used the proper screws. All good. Realised, I sanded the wrong plate. I sanded the one with only one vertical lip. Still mounted. There's just a gap between the red dot and iron sight. Besides the gap, will this effect the red dot?
I would put the correct plate on it.
The way I see it. The screws hold it vertically and the lips hold it horizontally.
You're asking a lot out of those screws to keep the sight from sliding, considering the amount of inertia that is on it as the pistol cycles.
@@lastavocations9487 ok, that makes sense. Gonna do that asap. Thanks for the help.
@@lastavocations9487 sanded down the nubs in the right plate. The difference is quite noticeable. It is much more "solid".
Have you tried the removable stock? Instant PCC.
No. I don't really understand the drop in pistol stocks.
With the price tags of them, why not buy a true PCC and get the advantages of a longer barrel?
If they were sub $100 bucks, I could see their usefulness. But with a lot of them being well over $500, I just don't get em...
@@lastavocations9487 I got mine for $129 cdn aka $90ish usd. What I like is, you can simply pull it off the pistol.
I dunno if it's possible,. It are there screw on barrel extensions?
Which exact screw size is that
Sorry, I didn't measure them before I put them in.
Thank you
will the 407k co witness METE SFX ?
Yes, you can co-witness through the bottom 3rd of the site with factory irons.
Did you use the gl key on the streamlight?
I'm sorry. I can't remember which one I had to put on it.
What holster are you using
I have a local guy who makes most of mine for me.
@@lastavocations9487 ok I can't find a good holster for canik
Talk to the folks at one of your local pew pew stores. Chances are, they know someone in the area that makes quality holsters that will work with you to get close to what you're looking for.
@@lastavocations9487 lol I asking them they don't know nobody that does 👀👀👀👀
FYI, it's pronounced MUH-TAY as per Canik.
Do these sights go witness since there’s not plate adapter or are is the dot still above the irons?
Edit: nvm you used a plate. So my question still stands. Do they cowitness?
