I see ppl all the time complain about who they copied for these. Just appreciate they took everything you dislike in those firearms and improved it for a killer price.
I own three canik pistols. They are super high quality. I love all the improvements. That retained rear sight that co witnesses with Red dot is outstanding.
This my first time seeing and hearing about this pistol I have my eyes on this exact pistol I'm getting my income tax soon and I will get this gun along with the micromc9. This pistol is gorgeous and I love how it shoots and how it sounds. I want to buy two 20 magazines and one 18 round mag so I will have 5 magazines and call it a day
The METE line is named after *Mete Khan* (Modun Chanyu), the founder of the Xiongnu Empire (Chanyu Empire) in the eastern Eurasian Steppe which battled China over dominance in Inner Asia between the 1st century BCE and the 3rd century CE. Mete Khan is regarded as a legendary hero among Turkish military historians. _Mete_ is actually pronounced *Mété* or _Met-eh_ (The Century Arms press release said "Met-A" but the _A_ is pronounced like the English letter _A_ which many seem to have misinterpreted).
@han0509 Genghis Khan was born on 1155 AD. Mete Khan rose to power in 209 BC. When Mete Khan rose to power he organised 10.000 soliders as a "Tümen" (division) and then further divided it into smaller units, similar to the way modern armies do it.
I really love how they listen to their customers. The co-witnesses sight and magwell and better grip is all it needed. So annoyed I just got an SFX I would of waited.
@@frankammirati3385 yes I would wait to get the upgrades. For me it's all it is missing, and for like 100 bucks it's not enough money to make the sacrifice worth it. However if you're using this for a competition pistol I would go for it, you can buy a magwell and you'll get to be able to put a larger optic on it if you shoot Optics.
Without watching more than one second of this video I will assume this thing is awesome. Canik makes a hell of a pistol. We bought the base model TP9SF for under $300 right before the stuff hit the fan. Second best stock trigger I've ever pulled, crazy accurate too.
An outstanding pistol for the price, especially with all the upgrades. In my opinion, Sootch is the leader for firearm reviews. He gives you all the information you need when considering purchasing a firearm.
I love my two Caniks and they're great for the price. These two appear to be two more quality pistols. They really are pushing these new additions to the family since this is the third review I've seen today. I'll be looking at purchasing one or both in the near future. Great review as always Sir 👏👍🗽🦅🇺🇸
@@DronesUnder2A I personally don't own one but everyone I've talked to say they are the best buy for the price of any AK manufacturer out there today. 👍
@@DronesUnder2A They're pretty good, to be honest!! I've owned WASR-10's and others and never had an issue, but make sure that all rivets and everything checkout best to have the local gun store (hopefully someone with knowledge about AK builds) check your gun before you finish the purchase!!!
@@Andino. gotcha that time lol yea man what a bummer. It would be cool to have a decent starter kit for a pistol... mag and pistol holsters, tool kit, cleaning stuff etc lol
Excellent Review! Canik just keeps right on improving the basic Walther P99 Design! Still carrying my original Canik TP9V1 as my EDCW. It just keeps on running.
You wanna see rest check out my gun I own the BERSA TPR9 SA/DA 15 rounds plus one in the pipe = 16 watch the Sootch video on the Bersa TPR9 enjoy my friend be safe god bless lock n load long live AMERICA
My man you are with out a doubt the most professional gun guy on the internet. I enjoy your videos and thank you for all the helpful information that you provide to us all. Keep on going straight and strong in 2022.
I love the canik line!!! For what you get out of the box, (and what comes in the box), they really can't be beat. Besides, what other manufacturer out there ships a holster with the gun.
Great review! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks! I bought me a Canik METE SFT, adding it up to my Canik collection. I am amazed that the METE has an improved trigger over the already great TP9 trigger. It is exceptionally good. I am very happy, no complains about it, but only praises. Best pistol for $500 dollars, par with big name gun manufacturers for less price.
Man I really hope I can get my hands on either one of these, especially the SFX since I already have a standard TP9SF which I love! I’d like to try my first pistol competition with the SFX if I can get one. Great video as always, much love from Texas!
@@DOUBLEDEFENSE buy local if you can. We need to support our local gun dealers if we can. By the time you pay shipping and transfer cost. They are most of the time very competitive. If they don't have it just ask, Im sure they can order it. It just means couple more days wait. No Im not a dealer nor do I work for one. Its just our brick and mortar stores are in trouble. And they're you local help line when you need it. A good gun Smith is worth the weight in gold.
Bro by watching your videos on the Caniks I just learned an easier way for take down field striping it thanks, I'm fairly new to the hand gun 🔫 craze even though I grew up around firearms, mostly rifles. When I get paid next Wed I'm joining your patrion because I believe in what you are doing and you and I share similar beliefs. Take care and God bless you.
I have been looking at the Canik line for about a year and thanks to your comprehensive review, I think I found my next gun. I really appreciated the fact that you not only reviewed the firearm but all the accessories too. Thank you.
I have two Canik 9mm, just a real pleasure to shoot. Extremely accurate and reliable. I've yet to have a FTF or FTE. I'm not sure I see enough to purchase a new one but great review as always.
I have had the TP9sf Elite for a year now it is such an enjoyable weapon to handle but the upgrades on the Mete are exactly what I’d want if I asked for any more. I had to run 350 rounds through it during my AZ armed guard qualifier and it performed amazingly there were a lot of people wanting to check it out after the class. Looks like I might have to sell my Elite for a METE.
So i was debating on buying the Elite tactical and I kept hearing about the mete... so after the end of the video i hopped on PSA and dropped 490 on a new TP9 SFT... Much appreciated kind sir
I do have a tp9sfx and love the grip and trigger definitely recommend to anyone who's on a budget. The thing that impressed me is you get more for the money.
I got the tp9sa when they 1st hit the US market for $200 new in box one of the best handguns for the value. Most people dont know but your canik mags will work in the walther ppq. I would love to see your take on the Springfield xdm elite since you have reviewed other xds in the past, I use one for duty use and love it! Keep up the great videos!!!
I'm always impressed that Canik has gone through generational improvements that meet or exceed Glock's generational improvements in a fraction of the time. Nine years on the American market and they're right at the top. Glock has been in the American market for almost 40 years? And we're only good for a generational improvement every 8 years on average. I get that Glock has introduced more models of pistol in that length of time, but seriously?
Glocks look like they're stuck in the year 1980. Canik puts out a new design each year and it looks like its 3-years apart. The new models Canik has announced recently like the _SFX Rival_ and the _Sub Elite CAS_ look like they're from the year 2030. Look them up on Google Images and read about it.
@@realtalk6195 Looks like an attempt at the race gun market held down by manufactures like Tangfolio. And then going after SIG. Love them or hate them, they're not afraid of taking a piece of everyone's market. The simple facts is they're making competitive options for typically $100 less than Glock. I don't know where everyone is supposedly getting NIB gen 5's for $380 that they always talk about. Around my part of the country those always seem to be at the $599 mark. I will say Canik has moved well beyond the "just as good" territory and well into "excellent in their own right".
@@SlavicCelery The _Sub Elite CAS_ or just the CAS variants in general are supposed to have a sight that that works even in the dark and requires no batteries. It's supposed to be the first integrated sight of this nature in a commercially-available gun. _CAS_ stands for "Canik Advance Sight System". The older _SAS_ that Sig released recently worked in daytime but not at night.
You're the best gun reviewer man. Direct and detailed in every aspects. The only reviewer I subscribed. Keep it cool man. Really appreciate how you doing. ❤
Amazing pistol!! Just put my first 15o rounds through my new Mete. It is a tack driver. Amazing accuracy even at 20 yards. Mind blowing 🤯 superior quality and performance.
I have a canik tp9sfx. I have around 4000 rounds or so thru it. Other than when the recoil spring was breaking in on the first two mags I have not had any malfunctions. Just make sure if you run a red dot loc tight those threads. Great trigger also. I dig it.
I traded my SA in on the METE (big mistake) and had high hopes for it ,because my SA was ultra reliable, this mete however has stove piped probably 15 times out of the first 100 ,yes im holding it firmly, im hoping it will break in and run
No matter what! I will definitely be buying one of these Mete version Caniks very soon! Great review an I can't wait for Canik to produce a 40 cal an 45 acp!💯✌🏻
You and everyone should e-mail Century Arms about relaunching the _TP40 V2_ and to put out a .45 version of the _SFX Rival_ that was recently announced.
They are heavily invested in military contracts to a couple NATO countries and several Middle East countries, they may never go outside that 9mm market unless a countries military asks them to
I luv Canik I have the TP9 SF and it has thousands of rounds through it without any problems also have the TP9 Elite SC and it's been a great pistol not one mulfuction so far
Well I didn't wait on the NATO Spec 9mm to show up. Last Wednesday 7 Sept 22 I took my METE SFT out to the range and put one 18 round mag and one 20 round mag loaded with just plain ordinary 124gr FMJ and this pistol just ate the up. Loaded up a 18 round mag with plain ordinary 115gr FMJ and once again this pistol ate them up without any issues at all. I will say this pistol shoots better and feels better than my Glock 17. Glad my son talked me into getting the CANiK METE SFT. One thing I did notice with the CANiK is the day I bought it, the slide release was very difficult to move at all to release the slide. Once I put those rounds through it, the slide release gave up the ghost and works just fine now without having to break your thumbs off.
I gotta find one of these near me. I have a newer tp9sf in black and it's a great full size combat style pistol. I remember when I think it was the first canik to come out and it was like $200. Canik really knew what they were doing and they really gained a great reputation quickly. Super cool.
I just bought my very first CANiK back on the 2nd of August. I got the CANiK METE SFT for $475. This is the same pistol my son owns. Haven't shot it yet as I'm waiting on the NATO Spec 9mm 124gr rounds to show up to break it in per the recommendations I've seen.
After shooting nearly everything, I settled on the Mete SFX... just an incredible shooter! That being said the first time I field stripped it (after firing 40 rounds), the trigger would not reset. FFL sent it back to Canik... their first in 2 years. Several of the instructors at my local range compete with Caniks. Curious if they send me a new one (or Rival!?). My first shot just playing around at 20 yards was a bullseye.
You have cost me a lot of money every time I see your reviews I have to go buy a new pistol. Great content i really like your videos very informative. You are one of the best
The folks that disliked the video are probably my fellow Californians that are not allowed to buy this fine pistol. I wonder if you can get this in OD green? These are so much nicer than Glocks and we’re only allowed the gen 3 versions. Buy these folks if you can!
that will probably be my first canick, ive been fascinated with their offerings for a few years now and this pistol has definitely pushed me toward a decision to buy. I really want the SFT. It almost looks like a striker fired USP but probably better in every way.
Really torn between this new SFT and the Elite Combat executive. I love that this one keeps the iron sites even if you add an optic, but that gold threaded barrel on the combat executive is just so damn sexy.
@@Cashaclysmic the trigger and price are really what got to me. Plus the gold threaded barrel 🤤 it really is a beautiful pistol. I’ve been doing a ton of research considering I’m looking to buy my first firearm, I never thought I would love Canik this much! Any reliability issues with yours ?
Can't go wrong for the price. I have the tp9sfx also and it's great as well. My friend bought the cheapest model and it's still awesome for the price. Also tried the elite SC model and it's great also. I'll soon have a third when I find the mete version. Might buy the elite SC too.
@@Cashaclysmic im definitely going with the elite SC as my everyday carry and doing the executive as a carry/home defense. Im also looking into getting the stribog SP9A1 as my PCC home defense as well. Pretty excited about it!
Great demo on this Canik mete. I like the sft model. This is my next dream 9mm pistol, with ready made stainless steel guide rod assembly, accurate, feeds any kind of bullets with different grains from other youtube videos I’ve watched, holds large capacity 20 round magazine + 1 round in chamber, reasonable price, easy to fieldstrip, more support in grip control, excellent trigger with super crisp/fast reset time, positive feedbacks from other youtube reviews, modern simple pistol, fires flawlessly, lighter to handle, nice two-tone design. It’s great for vehicle carry, owb carry, backpack carry, or with fanny pack carry. Great pistol for imminent danger defense with jhp and for range shooting with fmj/jhp.👍
Atwoods carries these. I've been wanting one for several years, but I want a Steyr L9A2 or A1 more as I've already got a C9A1. Can't find them anywhere.
I looked up mete and it read "dispense or allot justice,...", which seems apropos if used for self defense. Thanks for making it clear it is someone's name.
I discovered Canik a few months back and I am in love.I already have 2 now. They are now my favorite. Better than my Glock, my Sig, my CZ, my HK, and my FN
Wow, that's saying a lot. Glad you found out about Canik. Unlike those stuck in the nineties with bad taste Blocks fan 🤣. The longer peoples sleep on Canik. The longer prices stay low.
I have the SF Elite and it is everything the reviews say it is, and after handling the METE it also appears to be everything you say it is so I decided to order one for myself. Should be here in 3-4 days. The featu res, ergonomics, trigger and reliability can't be touched at this price. It's also a fine looking gun, IMO. 5/2023 Update: YES! The METE was better than expected and I now have the SFT and SFX. The SFT is on my hip 10 hours a day. I never leave home without it.
I see ppl all the time complain about who they copied for these. Just appreciate they took everything you dislike in those firearms and improved it for a killer price.

I don't really know that much about guns and I live in the UK so I won't be getting my hands on one anytime soon either but I enjoy these videos.
No matter what! I will definitely be buying one of these Mete version Caniks very soon! Great review an I can't wait for Canik to produce a 40 cal an 45 acp!💯✌🏻
You and everyone should e-mail Century Arms about relaunching the _TP40 V2_ and to put out a .45 version of the _SFX Rival_ that was recently announced.
They need to make a 10mm. 40 and 45 are meh... 10mm is where its at. Carrying my G20 today.
@@DB.KOOPER That would be hard 2!💯✌🏻
Thanks J! Other calibers would be a great addition to the Canik line.
They are heavily invested in military contracts to a couple NATO countries and several Middle East countries, they may never go outside that 9mm market unless a countries military asks them to
I luv Canik I have the TP9 SF and it has thousands of rounds through it without any problems also have the TP9 Elite SC and it's been a great pistol not one mulfuction so far
Well I didn't wait on the NATO Spec 9mm to show up. Last Wednesday 7 Sept 22 I took my METE SFT out to the range and put one 18 round mag and one 20 round mag loaded with just plain ordinary 124gr FMJ and this pistol just ate the up. Loaded up a 18 round mag with plain ordinary 115gr FMJ and once again this pistol ate them up without any issues at all. I will say this pistol shoots better and feels better than my Glock 17. Glad my son talked me into getting the CANiK METE SFT.
One thing I did notice with the CANiK is the day I bought it, the slide release was very difficult to move at all to release the slide. Once I put those rounds through it, the slide release gave up the ghost and works just fine now without having to break your thumbs off.
Another great offering from Canik!
I gotta find one of these near me. I have a newer tp9sf in black and it's a great full size combat style pistol. I remember when I think it was the first canik to come out and it was like $200. Canik really knew what they were doing and they really gained a great reputation quickly. Super cool.
An amazing pistol at an amazing price, shot one today vs my M17 and the Canik out performed the Sig in every way.
Best stock triggers in the business as well
This was the review that answered my grey area qestions fully.
Thank you
I read that the square indentations in front of the trigger guard are latch points for use with higher retention holsters.
I just bought my very first CANiK back on the 2nd of August. I got the CANiK METE SFT for $475. This is the same pistol my son owns. Haven't shot it yet as I'm waiting on the NATO Spec 9mm 124gr rounds to show up to break it in per the recommendations I've seen.
You did the best review that I have seen on this gun. Keep up the great work!
I found out what the square opening above the trigger guard is: it helps the holster to lock onto the firearm.
Great guns for inexpensive price, cannot beat them for the price and constantly improving based on customer feedback
A shame in. Turkey citizens not allowed to own firearms. Beautiful country and friendly people.
After shooting nearly everything, I settled on the Mete SFX... just an incredible shooter! That being said the first time I field stripped it (after firing 40 rounds), the trigger would not reset. FFL sent it back to Canik... their first in 2 years. Several of the instructors at my local range compete with Caniks. Curious if they send me a new one (or Rival!?). My first shot just playing around at 20 yards was a bullseye.
Caniks are superior built firearms. Be thankful you can buy them at the price you can.
You have cost me a lot of money every time I see your reviews I have to go buy a new pistol. Great content i really like your videos very informative. You are one of the best
The folks that disliked the video are probably my fellow Californians that are not allowed to buy this fine pistol. I wonder if you can get this in OD green? These are so much nicer than Glocks and we’re only allowed the gen 3 versions. Buy these folks if you can!
I've been waiting for this full sized frame for a while. Just wish the slide cut was for a full sized optic.
I’ve seen a lot of reviews, some were good, but urs are absolutely amazing
that will probably be my first canick, ive been fascinated with their offerings for a few years now and this pistol has definitely pushed me toward a decision to buy. I really want the SFT. It almost looks like a striker fired USP but probably better in every way.
You will not be disappointed
Love the consistent round ejection. Will be picking up this one for sure!
@Papa Bleach I like the SFT model better
I don't need another gun but this Canik looks like a winner
I put a Freedomsmith trigger in my TP9SF & I shoot groups like my Ruger 22/45 without a rest. Fun to shoot when I can find ammo.
Mete is the name of the great Turkish Hun emperor.
I love your gun reviews sootch 👌
Awesome review. I’d love to shoot both of these! Definitely leaning more toward the SFT
I have a Combat Elite. The SFX version meta is next for me.
Really torn between this new SFT and the Elite Combat executive. I love that this one keeps the iron sites even if you add an optic, but that gold threaded barrel on the combat executive is just so damn sexy.
The elite executive is fantastic! I love mine. The trigger is phenomenal out of the box.
@@Cashaclysmic the trigger and price are really what got to me. Plus the gold threaded barrel 🤤 it really is a beautiful pistol. I’ve been doing a ton of research considering I’m looking to buy my first firearm, I never thought I would love Canik this much! Any reliability issues with yours ?
Can't go wrong for the price. I have the tp9sfx also and it's great as well. My friend bought the cheapest model and it's still awesome for the price. Also tried the elite SC model and it's great also. I'll soon have a third when I find the mete version. Might buy the elite SC too.
@@Cashaclysmic im definitely going with the elite SC as my everyday carry and doing the executive as a carry/home defense. Im also looking into getting the stribog SP9A1 as my PCC home defense as well. Pretty excited about it!
Get the both
Great demo on this Canik mete. I like the sft model. This is my next dream 9mm pistol, with ready made stainless steel guide rod assembly, accurate, feeds any kind of bullets with different grains from other youtube videos I’ve watched, holds large capacity 20 round magazine + 1 round in chamber, reasonable price, easy to fieldstrip, more support in grip control, excellent trigger with super crisp/fast reset time, positive feedbacks from other youtube reviews, modern simple pistol, fires flawlessly, lighter to handle, nice two-tone design. It’s great for vehicle carry, owb carry, backpack carry, or with fanny pack carry. Great pistol for imminent danger defense with jhp and for range shooting with fmj/jhp.👍
Just purchased today can’t wait to rock it tomorrow…thanks for fantastic review…
Wow, this has been one of the videos you’ve posted and you have ignited my curiosity into Cenk weapons. I love this video..
I was actually looking to get another bigger sized Canik since I love my TP9 elite sc. I think I'll try this Mete SFT out
I've ALWAYS liked the TP9SFX since it came out
Atwoods carries these. I've been wanting one for several years, but I want a Steyr L9A2 or A1 more as I've already got a C9A1. Can't find them anywhere.
I looked up mete and it read "dispense or allot justice,...", which seems apropos if used for self defense. Thanks for making it clear it is someone's name.
Canik keeps hitting home runs and keeps raising the standard.
🤣
The standard...
Been waiting to see this for a while now. Started to think it wasn’t gonna happen. Awesome!
Looks awesome!! I hope they make a compact version.
Really hope canik makes a DA/SA TP9 single stack/stack and half
Canik already makes a tp9da which is da/sa . Just saying
Have ithe elite combat with the sai barrel and trigger, riton red dot and a olight valkery mini 2. Awesome gun
Love mine also! It has become my favorite shooter and if safariland holsters ever make a canick drop leg holster it would my full time training wespon
I discovered Canik a few months back and I am in love.I already have 2 now. They are now my favorite. Better than my Glock, my Sig, my CZ, my HK, and my FN
Wow, that's saying a lot. Glad you found out about Canik. Unlike those stuck in the nineties with bad taste Blocks fan 🤣. The longer peoples sleep on Canik. The longer prices stay low.
the pads to put fingers on has the cuts adjacent, these cuts are for the holsters lock Canik provide with the case
That trigger. Love it. It allows for the most accurate shots.
I have the SF Elite and it is everything the reviews say it is, and after handling the METE it also appears to be everything you say it is so I decided to order one for myself. Should be here in 3-4 days. The featu
res, ergonomics, trigger and reliability can't be touched at this price. It's also a fine looking gun, IMO.
5/2023 Update: YES! The METE was better than expected and I now have the SFT and SFX. The SFT is on my hip 10 hours a day. I never leave home without it.
Gonna be my next purchase. Got the TP9 SA, love it.
