Canik METE MC9 vs The Micro Compact Pistol World
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2023
- With the all new Canik Mete MC9 micro compact pistol hitting the market, there needed to be a comparison between it and the other well established pistols. In this comparison we discussed the similarities and differences between the Springfield Armory Hellcat, Sig P365, Taurus GX4 and Canik MC9 micro compact pistols.

Pistols in this size range oftentimes are a touch on the snappy side due to their small stature but they are perfect for everyday carry purposes. The Canik MC9 is the largest of the bunch but not by a noticeable amount. Someone would need to break out calipers to see or measure that difference. The Sig P365 and Taurus GX4 have the shortest grips in this segment. For carry purposes, all of these pistols conceal well and have good round edges.
The most controllable pistol of these 4 is a toss up between the Springfield Hellcat and new MC9 pistols. Then the Sig P365 and the Taurus GX4. With the most features and best overall value, the Canik takes the cake. It's the only pistol of the bunch with ambidextrous slide release levers and a mag button which is as easy to press as a full size pistol. When working on precision shooting, the sights of the Sig P365 and the Hellcat are by far the best. The Sig and Springfield pistols feature colored front sights, whether its a fiber optic or night sight. In making precise shots on a steel hostage target, the Canik MC9 is the clear winner due to its incredible trigger with a crisp, clean wall and lower pull weight.
In shooting all of these pistols, they each have their own quirks. The Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365 have proven their worth over the last few years and are clear crowd favorites. The Canik MC9 improves upon a lot of the drawbacks with micro compact pistols and challenges the micro compact giants, possibly even unseating them and reaching number one. Try them all for yourself and pick which one shoots best for you. Maybe I like the MC9 or Hellcat the best, but if the P365, GX4, or even Smith and Wesson Shield or Glock 43 or Shadow Systems CR920 is your best shooter, run with it!

The fact that Canik, who came out years back as a budget line of pistols, has released a micro pistol with more capacity than the P365 for less money and barely any larger is nothing short of amazing to me.
For sure!
As for the capacity, the MC9 accepts all of full sized 18 and 20 round mags too! 👍
@@WhiteDragonSecurity How, isn't it thinner? What dark magic is this? Lmao
Sig 365 xl has the same capacity and is lighter. Or 3in sig slide w 12rd grip. Even lighter w same capacity, height, but lighter. Nothing wrong with the canik but its not doing anything the other can't do.
XL or X variants of the Sig weren’t considered and their grip lengths with those capacities are longer than the Canik. Thanks for sharing.
Because of this video, I now have a Canik MC9 sitting on my desk! I hope to take it to the range tomorrow after church. I can’t wait!
Glad to hear it!
I really love Canik as a company. They are showing everybody else how it’s done. Listening to their customers and giving really high quality at a budget price is pretty much as good as it gets from a customer’s perspective.
They are doing a great job for sure!
I haven’t been this excited about a new carry pistol since the shield plus came out.
The shield plus is a great pistol too!
The shield plus was missing in this video but I have no doubt is better then all of them. I hope the canik leaves up to our standards jaja
My exact thoughts. I can't wait to pick this up. I have the Shield Plus and the Hellcat.
@@oilyque I've had them but my currently edc is a macro with a Wilson combat grip module xl size and the 12r flush 😎👍 but I will get the canik
yea replace taurus with shield plus
I have watched this particular video three times. What I am taking away from it is that a good trigger is very very important. I have always felt that the trigger doesn’t really matter, because I as a shooter, should be able to compensate and overcome any shortcomings of the trigger. But when I see a shooter with your skill level routinely discuss the quality of the trigger and how critically important it is a bell went off in my head. I am now fully starting to realize that I deserve to have a quality trigger from the beginning. Huge “learning moment” for me! Many thanks!
Hey glad we can help! Bad triggers can be worked through to some extent but they can begin to hinder a shooter at some point as well. With a good shooter the trigger being better can do nothing but enhance. Less room for error. Triggers are everything but they are a large part of the equation!
For the money, you absolutely can’t beat a Canik pistol. For what they give you, out of the box, it is hands-down one of the best stock pistols made. I have been waiting three years for Canik to finally come out with something that could possibly make me change my 43X EDC. Cannot wait to get my hands on the MC 9 and run some defensive drills with it. If it’s trigger is anything like the prior Canik triggers, along with the same reliability I’ve gotten from all of my Caniks, it will be without question the new king of concealed carry. Unless you have actually ran a Canik pistol through defensive drills for at least 1000 rounds, keep moving on and save your hate for someone else!
Very true!
Picked mine up Sunday. I think my Shield Plus and GX4 may be spending some serious time in the safe.....
@@boblaws9851 I am so jealous!
Canik has really been listening to their customer base and making incredible pistols all together. But especially for the price point! They have become my personal favorite to take to the range. Another great overview love your channel!
For sure!
pretty easy to make good pistols when youre cloning one of the best pistol manufacturers in the world (walther)
Does Walther make a micro compact pistol like this? Must have missed that memo.
@@HuntFishShootChannel that’s just a matter of shortening the barrel and grips hence why it can still take the 18 round canik mags. The internals and especially the trigger are absolutely stolen from Walter as well as the petruding striker system. Plus the rest of their line up is also 80% Walther DNA.
If it was quite that easy you would think walther would have made a micro like this. Obviously there is a very hot market for micro 9's these last few years. As for triggers in my personal opinion canik has got it out of the box so they must have used the extra 20% for improvements though I wish canik would have thought out the grip texture like the walther pdp. I will dang sure give that to walther all day long. But hey to each their own!
The name brand on the grip has never mattered much to me. I have the GX4 and absolutely love it. I own Sigs, Caniks, and Glocks (G48), and the Taurus definitely stacks up. I'm planning on picking up the MC9 when it comes out. Lot of great micros out there, so it really comes down to personal preference.
Tons of great options!
@@RJ-oi3ck want a cookie?
@DaddyGoatee that's a good point. Seems like mag compatibility is a tradeoff with micro compacts. Cool that the mc9 will take the bigger Canik mags.
Other than being a great video, as are all your videos, I also respect that you take the time to respond to everyone's comments. Kudos to you! Nice work!
It’s important, there are legitimate questions and some of the guns people mention in the comments aren’t bought or acquired due to a lack of traffic on TH-cam or overall search volume. Thanks for watching!
Just became a fan of your channel. You have the most detailed and informative descriptions of all the videos I've watched about the products I've been looking at. Thank you very much for your hard work. Looking forward to watching all your videos. Keep up the good work.
Heck yeah! Thanks for the kind words and glad we can provide you what you need! Glad you found us!
I was waiting for this comparison. It was fantastic! I own 3 Sig P365s. I’ve always wanted a better trigger. The Canik MC9 has won my heart. Gotta have one. Loved your review. Great job !
I have two of the Canik pistols and love them both. Great trigger,very accurate and never had any issues
Thanks Douglas!
3 of the same guns? really? lol
Literally the comparison I wanted to see I carry MR920 and thickness for me is a big factor. Crazy the difference, I looked at the specs and reading specs versus actually seeing it in person very different... much appreciated and great video as always..
They are definitely considerably different. Glad we could help!
Paid $239 for the GX4. Fits nice, goes bang and holds 11+1 with the standard magazine. Not much more to say than that!
Heck yeah!
i thought I got a good deal for $250 at a gun show. The front sight fell off on the 2 sessions at the range. I upgraded to night sight anyway. Great gun for the money.
Thanks so much for taking the time i subscribed a while ago when you did a review on 6.8 western and haven’t regretted it great content
Hell yeah thank you! The 6.8 was one of my more favorite reviews!
I have all of these. The Hellcat out shoots all of them, hands down. That's with 4 different shooters. But... they all will definitely get the job done. P.S. The Canik has the sweetest trigger.
For sure! Thanks for sharing!
As someone who owns a Hellcat but rented a p365 and did back-to-back mags many times, the Hellcat has SIGNIFICANTLY more felt recoil over the P365. Ammo all out of the same box. I would put it in the +20%-30% range, and that's with a stock p365 and the Hellcat with a Hogue grip. Of course, your personal experience is yours and mine is mine, but personally I'm here researching whether my next carry gun is the MC9 or the P365x.
@@samnolte749 own a 365 carry a 43x and even tho I've had no issue with the SIG I wouldn't buy it again. I think it is absolutely terrible. I carry my standard 43 when I want smaller. But my wife loves the 365 so we are all different
I've shot the hellcat, and its good, but not better than the Canik. It comes down to the trigger for me.
shot my friend's Hellcat. The gap of the mag bit my pinky finger!!! the gun is snappy. Had XDS 9mm before. Had to sell it because it was very snappy. Springfield makes snappy guns. Never i'll buy any springfield.
First time that I have watched one of your videos. And I'm quite impressed.
Dude! The fact that you can hold these tiny little guns and maintain an almost FLAT recoil pattern is astounding! My hat goes off to your crazy mad skills.
Having the choices that were in my choice group for a micro nine all in one vid and in such an in-depth comparison, was extremely helpful.
Great vid!
Thank you Lee! Some training and practice, and you can do the same no doubt! Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment! Hopefully you stick around for the rest of what we have to offer!
@@HuntFishShootChannel HFS, Thank you for the quick response! I'm really sorry it took me long to write back!
But, I appreciate the encouragement, that means a lot 😊
I've been stuck in No-No New Jersey for too long, and need to start practicing again. Especially now that I can purchase again, and am looking for a small, compact carry weapon. Can you recommend anything as for a grip on these smaller weapons where pinky and 2nd hand holds are... um... so much different?
Indeed! I've watched some more of your videos, and am greatly liking your channel! 😁👍
Thanks Lee! For the dominant hand pressure is like your shaking hands with someone and get that grip as high as you can in the backstrap. Then the support hand will fit into the knuckle grooves and take up the grip space and crush the other hand and rear of the grip like a vise. Kinda hard to describe in words. We did do a grip for recoil video awhile back but I have switched up a few things since then. We have had some requests about your particular ask for micro compacts so I think we need to make a video on it!
This side by side micro compact comparison is phenomenal. Thank you.
Thank you Damian!!!
Great video, I own a gx4, but after hearing Canik came out with a new micro compact also watching a few review including this one. Now I can’t wait to get me one in black.
Canik is the way to go. The first time I shot a GX4 I was impressed but this is just better.
Yep. I may just trade my GX4 for it. I don't see myself getting rid of my P365XL with Wilson Combat grip and M*Carbo trigger and spring kit with AC return spring. It actually makes the P365 nice to shoot.
@@HuntFishShootChannel it's like the difference between a Mustang and a Porsche. Both are good, and you won't go wrong with either, but one of them is just better.
Very true!
I like how your promo came in the middle of the video, was short and concise, and related to the topic we all clicked to watch - good video
Thank you for that! We appreciate it!
Kool jacket, what kind is it
If only we had a code for the jacket! It’s a Black Rifle Coffee Company woobie hoodie
I purchased the GX4 after trying out the Hellcat and P365 along with others. I actually went with the GX4 over them all because it had the best trigger IMO,felt great in the hand and of course the price was way better. I carry it along with the 43X MOS and Hellcat Pro on a daily basis. That being said, I got excited about the Canik when it was announced, it's on my list without even trying it out yet.
I also have the GX4 and the version I got had a fiber optic sight for about $20 more. It shoots very well. I am getting a MC9 if the reviews stay positive in the next 6 mo.
Excellent review. Sounds like the Canik is the best trigger hands down, and then comes neck and neck or slightly takes the edge overall in all of the other important considerations covered here. Then when you factor in everything that comes in the box, the optic readiness, and the value, wow, I think we have a winner amongst some very good competition.
For sure! Thanks for watching
This is the way I see Canik and Girsan in general. What they’re doing for the price is outstanding. Between this, the Canik Rival-S, and the Girsan 2311, they’re making waves. If this can finish a couple thousand round review reliably, I’ll pick one up.
I need that mc9
This was a great informative video. I think this was the first video I ever watched from start to finish LOL. Good job and thank you!
Great! Thanks for watching Anthony!
Thank you for your in depth reviews. Keep up the awsome content.
Thank you! We will!
Very nice comparison. One of the thing I had to do on my P365 10 round mag is to round off the corners at the back of the baseplate. They were squared off just enough that they were stabbing into my palm, leaving a noticeable mark. After they were rounded off, I had no issues.
Awesome! Thanks for the input!
Thank you for this thorough evaluation of these pistols. Evals. as good as this are rare, & you have removed some of the mystery of which ones to consider, great job.
Thank you! We appreciate it and glad to help!
I seriously can’t wait for this one, I have all of them so far but I think this will be my go to…
Hell yeah!
I appreciate your no-bias objective approach.
We appreciate you watching!
Just picked up my canik mete mc9 as my first firearm and I love everything about it. Taking it to the range Friday for some testing and praying it performs flawlessly.
Awesome!
Awesome!
how'd it go?
Fantastic , honest and a complete fair review with guns that are all very close in all aspects . For me, the best reviews up to now of micro 9. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉. Smith & Wesson Shield Plus out of the group selection maybe because of size !
Thank you!
A great comprehensive review. Thank you.
Thanks Fred!
Big fan of Canik. I own a few. GREAT guns. I plan to purchase the MC9 and the Rival-s. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Me as well. Have two need those two. That steel Rival is something else
Best comparison for micro 9's so far. Great video!
Thank you! We appreciate that!
Took mine to the range last week and it was flawless. Getting the MeCanik M01 red dot tomorrow.
Got a Canik TP9SF for 250 bucks on Century arms Wayback when and it still to this day is best gun I’ve ever owned
Same man, now caniks are $400+ im still torn between another canik or taurus gx4
man you handle all of those little pistols so well like you are shooting a bigger gun. very good shooting and recoil management. plenty of people act like the hellcat recoils so hard. Its nice to see you say its not that bad compared to the other popular choices. Im the type to keep looking at other options and i decide im going to throw a hogue grip on my hellcat and just learn to shoot better. I could not even try any micro 9s at my local range and just bought the hellcat on a whim because i remember the reviews and it just felt better in my hands at the time.
Good to hear! Thank you I appreciate it! It takes practice and proper form but you can do it as well!
Great, well-done comparative assessment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I am sold on the *Canik METE MC9!*
So are we! Hard not to love it!
@@HuntFishShootChannel I am already a Canik-fanatik 😎 one more to add... for every occasion.
We are becoming one!
First time on the channel
Good video
To the point
No fluff

SIZE COMPARISON
Thank you !!
Hell yeah! Thanks Ray, if you liked this, it’s what you can expect for our content in general!
Nice video, own Taurus and Caniks and like both. Caniks by far have a better trigger than any other gun for the money. Liked and subscribed. Can never have enough info on pistols these days.
Great! Thanks for sharing!
for money, I bought GX4 and for size and feel, p365(paid $499 with two 10rd & one 12rd mag & 1 box of personal ammo). no more guns, running out of storage at home. thanks for your review, best comparison on micro compacts.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Same! I have p365 and G42(my edc for 10 years). Couldn't pass up a good deal for GX4 at a gun show for $250! My edc will always be G42. Light, small, easy to cc, comfortable, and easy to shoot. 7+1 is good enough for me. I will try the MC9 out just because people be bragging about it.
I appreciate the information it’s very informative and helped me a lot trying to decide what to get
Happy to help!
Glad to hear you didn't cry about the hellcat being snappy like everyone else does 👍
Thorough video! Loved that and appreciate it!
Thank you!!!
Absolutely love my HELLCAT!!! Just got my hands on the MC9, definitely a nicer trigger pull but still gettin’ used to the slight size difference… both you can’t go wrong with either
For sure!
Awesome comparison; very informative!
Thank you!
Great video and comparison I carry the gx4 but the canik looks amazing .
Thank you!!
Yes another review. You've earned another subscriber all the way from the other side of the world.
Hell yeah! Thanks!
@@HuntFishShootChannel I have to say, i think the SIG is popular because it brought a larger mag and a tiny size to the whole micro game. The P365 seems to have floated along because of the SIG name. But it really feels like the MC9, Shield Plus even the Hellcat are better guns, the only real thing they give up on the P365 is being slightly larger and it REALLY isnt that much of a difference. The MC9 for one seems to be superior to the P365 in every way possible cept for once again, being slightly bigger. Which isnt even a downside to a lot of people who want more space to grip.
100%
Excellent video comparison!
Thank you!
Very thorough review! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the Canik TP9 Elite SC. Although, may have to pick this one up for summer wear EDC.
Heck yeah!
Nice comparison! I have a GX4 and a P365XL (modified with a Wilson Combat grip and M*Carbo trigger and spring kit with ArmoryCraft return spring), and used to have the Hellcat. Hated the Hellcat, even with an Apex trigger kit in it. Traded it for the GX4 and a good chunk of store credit and don't regret it. However, I will probably trade the GX4 for the MC9.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Hellcat is very snappy compared to other guns. Springfield makes snappy guns. Had XDS 9mm. Sold it because it was not a good shooter.
We are living in a great time for firearms. So many great products put out in the last five to ten years.
Yes we are indeed!
Still haven't seen an mc9 in person yet. Or the rival S series. They're on my list to get this year, great review sir.
Thank you! They should be available any day now!
An excellent review! I have the sig P365 and have never liked its trigger. I carry it with the 12 round mags which add a little to the grip length and this size and shape of the P365 with the 12 round mag seems to me like the perfect size for the way I carry it. I've been researching the MC 9 with it's optic mounting system that will easily take the Holosun 507k or 407k without using a mounting plate and thus enable a co-witness with the iron sights. Your review has helped me make the decision to add the MC9 to my concealed carry guns.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
I have the tp9 Elite SC. I can't wait to pick up a little brother for it
Excellent comparo and review.
Thank you!
Nice format. Good info. Thanks!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Be sure to subscribe because we have a ton of stuff coming next week at SHOT Show!
Good comparison, I would’ve liked to see the thickness of the pistols compared. Because to me that is sometimes more important than the length when it comes to CCW. Also I think the M&P Shield Plus is a top contender as well!
Thank you! Thanks for the input!
I'm newer to Pistols so I'm learning quite a bit. I have a Canik rival and a shield plus performance center for carry. I want to shoot a hellcat pro, a p365 and the new mc9. For canik just over $400 I might end up just buying one and making my collection 3 lol. My shield Is a 4" barrel so it's probably almost identical in length, canik did say they weren't going for the absolute smallest, they went smallest for best function which from what I have heard seems to be successful
It is indeed. It’s a very nice pistol!
The MC9 is almost identical in size to the Shield Plus with the 3.1" barrel. The 4" is a good 3/4" to an inch longer. I own all three now and have compared them all side by side.
Out of those four Micro 9's having never touched any of them I would take the Canik and never give it a second thought. That being said I have three Micro 9's and they are not any of those. My first was a Walther PPS M2 which is a single stack. The other two are a Shield Plus and a Glock 48. If those three did not absolutely have my needs covered already the Canik would be a very attractive option,
For sure! You have great options already no doubt.
I've been hoping for a comparison video since your you posted up the MC9 video. I've owned a standard 365 for a couple of years, and I now have a 365XL. The XL trigger is significantly better, still not perfect though. I appreciate it sir!
You are right. Personally i would always pick the XL over any standard 365! Thanks for watching!
The flat faced trigger shoe doesn't change the way the trigger functions.
@user-ry2fy1mw6i The main difference is the trigger pull geometry. The flat face allows for better natural placement for improved leverage on the firing mechanism. It takes work with both to figure out what your personal preference will be, but in my experience with the flat vs curved on both the P320 and P365 FCUs the flat face improves the overall function and feel of it.
@@thatoneguy24752 It doesn't change the god awful slack after trigger wall which is literally the biggest issue with the p365 platform. I don't care what shape you make the trigger shoe-that trigger mechanism is garbage. The trigger doesn't break at the wall which is what most people want! People want it to break at the wall! People don't want to hit the wall, pull back a bunch of slack and guess when the gun is going to go off!!
Excellent comparisons! Canik is awesome!
🔥🔥🔥 thank you!!!
Well. I’m glad I watched this. Trigger is my biggest selling point. I wanted to get the sig x macro or the mete mc9 but if the sig trigger is mushy then it’s a huge no. Mc9 will save me a bunch of money too
The trigger on a macro is better than the standard P365, but it’s still not as good as this one.
Dropping in a trigger kit from ArmoryCraft or M*Carbo will help the P365 trigger a lot, but it still doesn't hold a candle to a Canik trigger. The best microcompact trigger I've felt so far (since the MC9 won't be released until March) is the Kimber R7 Mako. Phenomenal trigger! It didn't work for me in other aspects, so I went back to the P365, but got a XL and put a M*Carbo trigger kit in it with a Wilson Combat XL grip module. Makes the P365 a completely different gun. That said, I will be getting the MC9 as soon as I can. My METE SFT needs a little brother.
You are probably the only TH-camr that I’ve watched that rated the Hellcat as less snappy than the others in its class. I have the Hellcat pro and again many of the reviews on TH-cam complain about its snappiness. I’m just not seeing what they’re talking about. I find it very easy to manage. I guess it really is a subjective experience.
The Hellcat shoots like a Glock, Glocks are always less snappy than their competitors. Micro compacts in general have snap, but I have always felt the Hellcat was one of the least. Maybe some folks need help with their grip 😂
@@HuntFishShootChannel I agree.
@@HuntFishShootChannel I agree with this completely. I bought the P365 and just could not get good groups no matter how much I tried to improve my grip, stance etc. Hellcat is a challenge as well, but much easier to maintain a solid grip and consistent sight picture. But I'm holding out to try the mc9 before I invest in another micro, because canik has proven to be the best bang for the buck, over all the manufacturers, in my opinion. I'm also interested in trying the new Masada micro that IWI is releasing this year. That would make a good comparison video if you are taking requests. Lol.
People keep saying the Masada Slim is nice however we have never had hands on with them. The MC9 would be a great option for you!
Got the MC9 for $431 at psa last weekend out the door
Awesome!
You really nailed the description of SiG triggers, I always described them as spongy. I actually prefer a stock Glock trigger. SiG’s triggers are surprisingly bad for a pre cocked striker, which the canik, Walther, and HK striker fired pistols all use
Yeah Walther could surprise everyone with a fantastic micro in the near future.
Nothing wrong with my 365 trigger. But then, triggers don't matter that much for a SD carry weapon.
🔥🔥🔥
@@ertatta a slimmed down shorter pdp that held 11+1 or 13+1 would be awesome
@@youngboyharless9769 Absolutely! My 3.5" PDP F-Series is ideal for me with it's mirror image ambi slide lock/releases and 15 second mag release swap (lefty) but she's also a 'fatty' at 1.34" thick!
Great review Brother 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks man 💪💪💪
Much appreciated!
Hey mike have you seen the wcs 365? If so, any initial thoughts off the top of your head? If not, will you be getting one?? Thanks brother.. chris
Are you talking about the SAS model 365? Not sure about the WCS
No I saw it advertised on the Wilson “youtube page” as the wcs365, didn’t watch it yet but maybe it’s similar and Wilson just put some lipstick on it?? Idk? But either thanks for the reply and the video yesterday about that G4 kinda broke my heart bro… lol thanks Chris
Ah ok, and that’s exactly what that pistol is. I’m sure it’s nice but it will
Be overly expensive. You could get a 365 and put the Wilson combat grip on it for less!
In my opinion the gx4 has a much better trigger than the hellcat. Love the video though. Will definitely be getting the canik
Nothing wrong with that! Triggers are subjective to some extent anyway!
Great review. I'd be interested in a review of the IWI Masada Slim. Takes CZ 75 mags and looks like a great new addition to the market.
Not sure we will be reviewing that pistol as it’s fairly rare and as great as a pistol it may be, it’s not all that popular in the search and metrics field. we will keep it in mind though!
This was an awesome video! Just subscribed! It was almost perfect but it was missing the shield plus and the 43x lol jk Ived had all of them and can't wait to get the new canik 😎👍
Hahah maybe in the future we will do an update with those if we acquire them. I own a G48 but the longer grip and slide goes into a different category like the plus or Sig XL.
@@HuntFishShootChannel yes your right, but great video and a great review! Looking forward for more like this 😎👍
Thank you! Glad to hear it and we appreciate viewers like you!
I bought my wife the Canik MC9...well...it is the best shooting little pistol I have ever fired. The wife and I know own 3 Caniks. She owns the MC9, and the Mete SFT, and I own the TP9 Elite Combat. I am a traditional Smith & Wesson guy, and EDC the M&P 2.0 Compact. But, after shooting the MC9, I may pick one up for myself as an EDC that I can switch out with the S&W when I need a little more concealability. Canik makes great weapons. I just hope they start to produce rifles in the near future!
They sure do and affordable options as well!
Good showing bro I just got the canik 😊
Thank you!!! Enjoy it, it’s a sweet little gun!
hey Mike this was a great break down of these pistols. I have to tell you i own taurus G3 full size 9, i LOVE the gun. I had a hellcat and sold it a month later, just was not impressed at all with it. i have shot the 365 and again was not impressed. cant wait for the canik, but tbh i prefer my G3 over those others, i have well over 2000 rounds through it without any failures and i carry that bitch everyday. But, this was another great one brother.... thanks, chris
This pistol is quite a bit nicer than the G3 in my opinion, I highly recommend it.
Oh yeah I totally agree… like I said other day I’m definitely watching for it to get to my gun shop. Thanks for the great info! Look forward to what’s next.. Chris
I never thought i would like the hellcat trigger, until i did. Its hard to flinch or anticipate if your not quite sure when its gonna pop. Shield Plus has got to be the fovorite though. It fires when you just think about it.
Keep hearing that! Thanks for watching!
It would have been cool to see a S&W Shield+ on the table. That trigger is just straight up hard to beat alone out of the box. And the list goes on and on. Cheers and thank you for the vid.
Another great option for sure! This was just a few guns we had on hand at the time, not and exhaustive comparison.
I just don't like the design of the Shield! lol
Wondering how it would stack up in a back to back comparison against the Shield Plus. Seems promising.
The shield plus is a good gun, this was just meant to compare with guns we own.
Many of you have to realize he compared the guns that he owns lol there are many micro 9s out there and impossible for anyone to do a full comparison of each. Would have been nice to see the Plus and 43x but someone would also want to see a Kimber comparison or even a Masada Slim. This is a great video and comparison. I own the Plus and Hellcat and will be getting the Canik.
I’m glad you listened to that part 😂 Moral of the story though, whichever is someone’s favorite is subjective and the Canik MC9 is a serious competitor.
I have a TP9sfx and I love it so the Canik is tempting but I see it has the same grip design as the elite sc. That weird gap with the extensions felt very uncomfortable in my hand with the elite sc so I don't suspect it will be better with the MC9. I tried the Taurus at the same time and it felt great, even though it's probably a lesser gun overall. But, a decent gun for $300 bucks that I will shoot occasionally at best is hard to beat.
Thanks for sharing! The MC9 feels good with the 12 plus pinky extension. You can feel the gap with the 15 round mag, but it’s not obnoxious nor obtrusive when shooting.
I love the Canik line of guns... I have a tpfsr in 9mm...I have a Sig P365 X Macro Comp which I like as my everyday carry BUT I JUST LOVE MY WALTHER PDP COMPACT... the most accurate and the trigger is the best on any production gun ... love carrying this gun!!
Great fun for sure, it is quite a bit larger than all of these though!
I like my gx4 but I'm definitely looking into the mc9 for sure
It’s a sweet shooter!
Great analysis! You got my sub!
Thank you!!!
Great review for the pros and cons of each pistol. Canik offers so much to their customers for what you pay and aftermarket support is increasing. If Taurus could only offer better finishes on their pistols, and Sig can fix the triggers from being smushy then that might make a difference, but as of now Canik has been hitting home runs. Edit: What shooting gloves are you using? Given the micros do not have much room within the trigger guards. Thx.
For gloves, I have tried them all, literally. My favorite and go to tactical glove and shooting glove is the PIG Delta Glove. They are awesome.
Canik is killing it! 🔥
Nice comparison!
Thank you!!!
Overall good video. If I didn't already have the Hellcat I would look at the Canik. One criticism of your video is on a table top review don't wear a black jacket with a black background and handle black guns. It made it very hard to see the guns.
Yeah, we’re avoiding black attire in the future lol
If Armalaser comes out with a laser for the Mc9 then that might put it on top for me. Love just about everything about it, really hoping they catch on and the aftermarket support gets better.
Awesome
Have a GX4, Shield Plus and 43X. Box stock the Shield Plus PC has the best trigger. Changed the 43x to a TTI trigger bar and it better. The GX4 has a good carry trigger with a positive break thats easy to define. I want to give the Canik a try. Iv'e owned a couple of Caniks and they both had great triggers. I wish Canik had made their micro more in the 43x size. I just think the 43x size is perfect for carry. Gonna totally ipgrade its trigger now with a Glock performance trigger and Jonny Glock shoe/bar.
If it makes you feel better it’s closer to a 43x size than a 43!
Glock is overpriced. You literally have to upgrade everything. The only glock that I edc is my G42 for 10 years. wouldn't buy any glocks in this life time. Unless they come out with double stack G42!
good review my man
Thank you and thank you for watching Jason!
I’m not sure how many rounds you have through the GX4 but does the grit work out after you shoot more? JW thanks I haven’t shot the GX4 or the Canik yet I’m trying too pick one of this style gun.
The Canik is a significantly better firearm.
@@HuntFishShootChannel absolutely thanks,I was just wondering if the GX4 got better or broke in and felt better eventually.
Our GX4 has close to 500 plus rounds at this point, it’s actually a good trigger. Just not Canik good!
@@HuntFishShootChannel awesome thanks for taking the time to answer me,appreciate it love the channel
You are welcome! Glad you like it and thanks for watching!
Which one can I conceal the best? I live in Florida and it’s shorts and T shirt season most of the year.
Really all of these would be a great option and conceal well, it’s more depending on holster and belt selection since the size differences in these are so negligible
Very nice presentation! You earned a subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
@@HuntFishShootChannel You are certainly welcome. I appreciate your firearms expertise. There are lots of reviewers out there but far too often the reviews are laced with “f bombs” and other poor language choices. I appreciate materials and knowledge dispensed so i can show it to my wife and others without cringing. Well done!
Glad we could present it to you a well received manner! Thanks for watching, what you saw here is what you get 100 percent of the time!
@@HuntFishShootChannel I am very happy about that.
Thank you!
p365 any day i carry the 365XL with the romeo zero RDS. im waiting to get the back iron sight plate cause for a conceal carry i dont want the rds but i will say im coming close too 1,000 rounds though it and iv never had a single issue. gun or sight minus batteries dies around 5 months. i also clean it super good every 2-3rd range trip but i cant express my love for sig. my second favorite is my g43X btw
Thanks for sharing! Carry on!
Have not shot the Canik but have shot the rest - EDC is the GX4 - love everything about it - but will be fun to shoot the Canik soon!
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Wish I waited for the mc9. I already pulled the trigger on a cr920 elite... Definitely would have saved some $$$.
The CR920 will serve you well! We are gonna be reviewing one of those shortly!
Very good video, just feel a bit incomplete without a shield plus which a lot of people have and are probably looking what's next lol
The shield is actually not popular, you would be surprised how unpopular it is. It’s not a bad gun, in fact a good one! We did not or do not have one to compare.
I’m surprised it gets extremely positive reviews very close in size best trigger by far haven’t held mc9. He also it’s $400 or 450 for optics ready not even on sale. Night sights on the negative. I think it has. Is it slightly larger it’s kind of in between these and the 43X.
@@ar15tac I have the shield plus performance center but it's the 4" barrel. I like it but I want to shoot the mc9 and a hellcat pro
@@Yahweh-Chase-Bella have heard the performance center is pretty sweet. I shot hellcat and sig nearly the same. Even though I liked everything better on the hellcat. It didn’t translate to me shooting it better. I did shoot shield plus better by a good margin.
LOL The Shield is one of the most popular, best selling EDC guns on the market. Guess we know now why there wasn't one in this comparison... LOL
Great review! What brand hoodie are you wearing?
Thank you!
It’s a black rifle coffee company hoodie!
Does the chamber loaded indicator throw crap onto the front of an RDS?
Not of concern!
It's amazing how these gun manufacturers developed such high quality hi magazine capacity pistols in such a tiny little package we definitely have lots of options now we are definitely spoiled 🤣 I want them all
OH yeah and GO TAURUS!! These guys actually entered the game and done excellent!! Okay HI POINT your up next 🧐
Very true!
*Standard capacity magazines. ;)
Looking to get one of these guns soon. I went to the store and put them all in my hand. I've really been intersted in the Hellcat. But I've also been looking at the "Smith & Wesson M&P9 Shield Plus" which didn't even make your list.... Thoughts?
The M&P didn’t make our list because we don’t own them or had one for review. However they are good pistols, I’ve shot them and people seem to like them. Hope this helps. Go with what would work best for you.
The Shield Plus is an awesome pistol. The MC9 is pretty much identical in size but has a different feel. I just picked up an MC9 for $390, so they are quite a bit less expensive than the M&P. Haven't had the chance to get it to the range yet to make the direct comparison to my Plus.
@@boblaws9851 shield plus can be found at 399.99 to 449.99
@@Three60Crusader I haven't seen one for less that $450, but if a person can find one for $399 they better be buying it. That's an awesome price for one of the best EDC guns ever made.
Very good review
Thank you!
