Mine wouldn’t go into battery after about 600 rounds. They sent me a new recoil spring for free and fixed the issue. I’m back to carrying it every day now
I own the SFX Rival and so I was very interested in the MC9 when it first came out. I’m the kind of person that will research the hell outta something before I buy it. I was seeing the failure to go into battery issues and the mags not dropping free. I went to the gun range and rented one and sure enough it had these very issues. Keep in mind this was shortly after release. At that point I gave up on the MC9 but I couldn’t quit looking at videos about it and several months later Canik had seemed to fix these issues at the production level so I took a chance and ordered one with the highest serial number I could find. I have had it for several months now and only use the cheapest remain brass internet ammo I can find with zero issues. Mag drops fine slide locks back on empty and the only failure to go into battery I have experienced was 100% ammo related. Sorry for the extended comment but the moral to the story is I feel like these issues were in pre release models and have since been fixed.
I’ve had my mc9 for for 2 weeks already and know 2 weeks isn’t a lot but I’ve put 130 rounds through already. No problems what so ever for me. Magazines drop freely, return to battery is good, no malfunctions and shoots hollow points and other range ammo perfectly. Going to the range tomorrow for some more testing
My MC9 was a first manufactured one and it started to have rounds nose dive on the feed ramp and they sent me a new recoil spring and then it seemed fine. 2 weeks ago it did it again and I just sent it in for warranty. I hope they settle the issue. I really like it a lot,,,shoots great.
I’ve had two MC9. The first one wouldn’t eject the 15 round magazine and also had trouble feeding 124 grain V crowns, which is my main carry ammo so I traded that in for a PDP. After watching your videos, I decided to purchase a second MC nine which I got about 100 rounds through and the slide quit locking back and then it wouldn’t feed any rounds. I couldn’t even get around into the chamber or get it to fire so I sent that back to Conn. I should have it back in about 6 weeks. So far, my luck hasn’t been as good as yours, but I really wish it would be. I really enjoy the gun and the way it looks the way it feels the way it shoots so far. I’m just having issues with the reliability when I get the pistol back, I’m gonna put a few more rounds through it if I have any issues, I will be purchasing a sig xmacro tac ops
Canik sending me a brand new mc9. 650 rounds and had out of battery issues and rounds jamming on the feed ramp. HP and FMJ had issues. Customer support was great but was highly disappointed. Hopefully the new one works
Hundreds of rounds through mine. Got it on pre order so came the week it dropped. Had a couple issues with a full mag on the first round and returned to battery weird. But with all the issues I was seeing I was nervous. Had them send me a new spring and i have not had any issues. It's one of my summer carries. I babe the Mecanik MO1 on it. Have to get a new light and holster because I don't like the olight because of the way I hold my pistol is slams back into my thumbs and hurts.
Never had an issue with mine either and I’m 800 rounds into mine. Freedom Smiths trigger with Mecanik 01 optic. Very good and accurate hand gun. As far as triggers it is very nice but one caveat is my Walther PDP trigger it’s unmatched and while my Canik is close it’s not beating my Walther. Love them both….
Got mine recently in FDE and man this thing is a dream in every way, I don’t know if I got lucky or what but it’s absolutely perfect in every way hahaha it replaced my glock as my edc and I will never look back and that’s coming from a die hard glock fan boy lol
With the discontinuation of the PPQ, the Canik IS a delightful rebirth of the style. Then again, the PDP is just too square and bulky in the slide. The SC and MC 9 are just the right size in my hand, and the tiny pinky hook and the Plus 3 magazines are equally handy and still concealable.
With the red dot and good technique, the MC9 is so good especially with its trigger. Add a light to reduce recoil and a tape grip for better control. This gun competes worth higher end guns easily.
I really like my MC9. I had the recoil spring overlap issue, but Canik sent me a new one within a week and I fixed the overlapped spring myself (so I have a backup now). I also have an SF Elite with over 1k rounds through and zzzzero malfunctions.
just wanted to give you some feedback on the plus 1 issue you are experiencing with the extended mag. i spoke with Ron at taylorfreelance and he explained that with some of the mags, the plastic loader attached to the top of the spring will get stuck at the top of the lip on the back of the extended based plate. You have to file down the 2 little legs on the back on the loader. Try filing it so that it makes a little ramp, that way when your loader reaches that point of tension near the bottom, it will kiss that lip and slip past that top part of the extender. I'm no gun smith but after doing this, I was able to get plus 4 on my mc9 using the same extension you have in this video. In total, my 12 rounder now holds 16
@@dariuskincaid sure thing! There is a catch that me and Ron just discovered today. The 12 round spring is set for the 12 round base plate and does not provide enough pressure for the gun to lock back when empty if used with the +4 extension. So you get the extra 4 rounds but you don't get that lock back on E. Luckily I have a SF Elite with the 15 rounder so I just swapped springs. Now the 12 rounder w/ the extended base plate has the 15 round spring and locks open majority of the time. It still slips up from time to time but I just intend to use this as a secondary mag so its no big deal.. The weird thing is, my SF Elite seems to lock back perfectly fine even though it has that 12 round spring!
A lot of people who have had problems with the MC9 started out using 115 gran if they ran 2 boxes of 124 first for a break in period they would have no problems at all. People just want to bash canik
I picked up a MC9 yesterday at a gun show. So far I like it, but no one ever seems to mention how absurdly hard it is to rack the slide. I have owned many Glocks and Sigs and they were never this stiff. I’m hoping it’ll loosen up a bit after a few hundred rounds.
Thanks! This was really helpful. My girlfriend recently got her concealed carry license, and we were looking for options for her. She really likes this one. I carry an XD, but I might pick up one of these as well as a backup. There's a really good deal on these now. Cheers!
I've had actually the opposite experience when you talking about gripping the p365 and holding onto my SC elite. The SC and Mete are jumpy in my hand. Maybe I should add some grip tape
one thing that i cannot stand about the canik guns or maybe its just my elite sc, racking the slide is HARD, ive never had to apply so much grip and strength just to rack a slide. my hellcat pro slide is so smooth and doesnt need so much power just to rack it,
Man I watched all your videos and I’m stuck on the mc9 vs the elite sc I’ve found both around the 330.00 range brand new just kinda worried about the issues but for the price I’m just gonna go the mc9 route I’ll probably grab the sc in the next month or so
I had a hard time choosing also. Had both in my hands and the sc felt better. I went with the mc9 because a friend had one and it shot great. I ended up with a lemon and am in the process of getting it repaired. Really wish I went with the sc.
@@justinkaemmerer1671 my friends mc9 is very nice and accurate which is why I chose this over the elite. If you get a good one , they are really nice. Supposedly all the problems are from the recoil spring , ejector spring and possibly the striker spring so it should not be a complicated fix if you get a lemon. I sent mine in because I wanted to have them fix it for warranty purposes.
Love you channel bro I'm definitely subscribing. How do you feel about carrying a weapon with an aftermarket trigger? I know alot of people in the gun community say it makes the gun significantly more susceptible to an accidental discharge. How do you feel in general and about the freedomsmith trigger specifically on the canik?
When I first got my MC9 the recoil spring overlapped itself. Canik sent me a new spring and I haven’t had any problems now but it’s hard to trust it still. I’m not a gunsmith but I’ve looked at recoil springs from different guns and the Canik spring seems less quality but it could be just as good I don’t know?
Yessir got a couple coming! Doing one with my ported mc9 and tp9 elite sc and got one for two 19x’s I’ve been working on. Waiting on my Insta 360 to get to me. Also had to change ranges cause my old one was fudd galore 😭
That’s my problem too. I was just telling my wife I should open a gun accessory store that’s like the Apple Store.. lol you get to try things in person before you buy
I bought an MC9 4 weeks ago and took it to the range to try it out. Loved the way it shoots but, had numerous light strike (failure to fire). Ran any bad rounds through my Rival-S. All rounds fired no problem. I was with an instructor. We ran the ammo through his Glock as well. No problems. It was federal american eagle 115. I did a course of fire for my CCW test as practice. Had some 10 shot mags where 3 rounds out of 10 light were strikes. Want to use this for my CCW. Sent it back for warranty repair. Hopefully it comes back soon. Really like your videos.
That sucks bro! Hopefully you just got a lemon. They should really nice and it’s perfect for a ccw so I hope the issue is addressed! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏾
I love my MC9, but the slide release won't catch on the left side but does on the right. Do you know of any remedies for this? I also bought the METE SFT, both are great!
Sorry but i tried looking up those TF mag extenders and im not sure which ones to buy on the site i feel like i went through and didnt see any advertised for MC9
You gotta search it in the tab. But it doesn’t matter all of the canon tp9 line works the 18 rounds mag or whatever I have them all even the 50 drum and 33 round everything fits it I’ve tried it at the range multiple times hundreds of rounds now
Thats more like a compact ... like the elite Canik has as a compact. When the barrel is 4.19 ... that's mid-size. No dis to Canik ... have two. Two each its own ... but you changed the trig

Tp9 elite sc is a better buy in my opinion. Fits better in my hand and almost no negative reviews that I could find
It’s not a bad platform
Only reason why I’m gonna get the MC9 also is it’s better suited for carry when it’s above 80* outside
I run the same taylorfreelance +4s 👌 cant beat having 16+1 in such a small set up

It’s goon tape. And I get all of my Canik ones from Taylor Freelance! 🙏🏽

Please do a range video with mc9 and tp elite, Sir.
I saw this for 399 and a Reflex for 499. In your opinion is the Canik worth a try 4 conceal carry
I def want this MC9 or elite sc, one of them will be a next buy for sure, also bro you recommend any of the carry sling bags?
Mc9 for sure bro I have both mc9 for sure
Ebrlestock bando bag
What key on the the 1913 for the tlr are you using on the mc9. I use either fourth or the first one
Wouldn't be nice if our TP9 SCs were Double Action?
Broo can you plz ask freedom smith to drop the green triggers plzzzzzz I️ need it
I tried to love the mc9 but I kept going back to my 43x. Now that shadow systems is releasing the cr920x I think im going to have to let the mc9 go
