At Shot Show 2025, we had the privilege of getting hands-on experience with CANiK's groundbreaking new release - the Mete MC9 Prime. The enthusiasm was palpable at their booth as we tested this impressive firearm, marking CANiK's first American-manufactured pistol. Our team was particularly impressed by its enhanced ergonomics and innovative features, all of which you can see in detail in our video coverage below. The following article breaks down everything you need to know about this remarkable addition to CANiK's lineup.

CANiK has achieved a significant milestone with the launch of their first American-manufactured pistol, the Mete MC9 Prime. This innovative firearm represents the culmination of extensive research, advanced engineering, and CANiK's commitment to pushing the boundaries of firearm technology.

Visitors to Shot Show 2025 in Las Vegas were able to experience this revolutionary pistol firsthand at CANiK Booth, where they were showcasing their latest achievement in firearm innovation.

The Mete MC9 Prime introduces several cutting-edge features that set it apart in the market. The pistol comes equipped with Mecanik M04 optic compatibility, providing shooters with enhanced targeting capabilities. Its 17-round magazine capacity offers extended shooting sessions, while the reversible G-Code holster system accommodates both right and left-handed users. The package includes a durable lockable travel case, essential security features, and comprehensive maintenance tools. Shooters can fine-tune their grip with extended backstrap options and full surface stippling.

Performance innovations define the Mete MC9 Prime's design philosophy. The fluted barrel incorporates an integrated compensator, effectively managing recoil while maintaining exceptional accuracy. The diamond-cut aluminum trigger, featuring a flat-faced design and precise 90-degree break, delivers superior control and consistency. Every aspect of the pistol's ergonomics has been carefully considered, from the enhanced slide serrations to the flared magazine well and intuitive slide stop placement. The inclusion of Night Fision™ Tritium sights ensures reliable target acquisition in any lighting condition.

This launch represents more than just a new product - it marks CANiK's evolution as a global manufacturer with a strong American presence. The timing of its debut at Shot Show 2025 is particularly significant as the exhibition celebrates its role as the premier gathering for the shooting sports, hunting, and law enforcement industries.
