    One thing an "unboxing" doesn't show you is the super reliability against failures. After running a few thousand rounds through mine, over the last 3 yrs or so, it's been perfect, with any and all ammo I've fed it. I have the 11, 13 & 15 round mags for it. Super versatile. Amazingly durable. The Hellcat can handle lots of +P ammo too.

I almost bought the mete mc9 but only thing was the grip round the back bottom area of the magwell, my hand didn't like the grip too much, but the SFX Rival shoots amazing and the trigger is crisp and smooth, short reset out the box!

    Can the barrel of G3 put on G3C? More accurate and long distance?

    • @TheArmedNational
      @TheArmedNational Місяць тому

      I have found on forums and seen pictures where some people have done this and it can work. Bear in mind that Lakeline's threaded barrel is 3.9 inches, and the G3 barrel length is 4 inches, so they are pretty much almost exact length. Only difference would be the G3 barrel will stick out a bit more from the slide and no option to thread, as well as the G3 barrel being relatively cheaper than a threaded barrel from Lakeline. Basically down to aesthetics or which you prefer, do you want the option to thread it to add a compensator or silencer when you want, or just added length for that uncommon look that still functions well and improves accuracy a bit while maintaining the lower weight of the G3C? Up to you! Either would be awesome choices. If you aren't going to use comps or silencers 95% of the time and want to save a bit more money, just get the G3 barrel 4 inches and call it a day.

    Very nice video and excellent instructions but just order the Ultimate Surefire topside upgrade kit from Lakeline LLC about 90 buck and switch your whole striker with the upgrade. Just pull out the whole striker and replace with with the upgrade. No fumbling arounds with springs and pieces to lose. You do not have to take it apart a just one kit already altogether with the steel upgrade to essentially plug in..

    • @TheArmedNational
      @TheArmedNational Місяць тому

      That should not be possible unless Canik accidentally supplied you with an incorrect base plate size. I cannot speak for all Canik bundles, but my Canik SFX Rival came with 2 plastic base plates, and the 2 aluminum base plates, so the only varying sizes are insignificant in terms of the material. Which Canik do you have? The same as mine or another?

    question about the plates. is it necessary to change the plates/ why is aluminum better?

    • @TheArmedNational
      @TheArmedNational 2 місяці тому

      It is not necessary exactly, however I prefer them as the aluminum adds a bit of weight to the bottom of the mag, which aids in the mag release and it emptying a bit faster. Plus it is a bit more durable than plastic. Some people prefer lighter, I prefer metal.

      @@ashleyc6157 Depends on your goals and needs. If you are wanting a basic conceal carry gun, budget entry is always good because it does not cost too much to get into the market of conceal carry. I ersonally would go with a Canik Mete MC9, or a Taurus G2C or G3C. The Canik is a little more expensive around $400 but it comes with many accessories on the Canik website. they come with mags and even an inside the waistband holster, and basic cleaning tools for the gun all included. So for value Canik is great. Regarding the Taurus G2C / G3C, those guns are good because they are around $200-250 used, although the trigger is pretty bad from my experience. However, I started with a G3C and it kept me safe for 2 years! I would say, if you are looking for a first gun, take an extra 1 - 2 months and save up a little extra to get the all round package of the Mete MC9. I wish I did that for my first gun instead of getting excited and bought a Taurus G3C immediately instead of being patient and doing some more research. Hope that helps!

      I personally like to clean all my firearms after every range training session. Really you only need to clean it after several hundred rounds. Definately never go more than 500, the more you shoot and put off cleaning, the more carbon builds up which makes it harder to clean and scrub off.
