Ranking Canik Pistols

In this episode, we cover Canik's explosive SHOT Show 2025 presence and break down what might be their strongest year yet. From slim-line carry guns to competition-ready monsters, Canik continues to deliver high-performance pistols loaded with features at unbeatable value.

We dive into:

• The new METE MC9 Prime, a Glock 48-sized carry pistol with integrated compensator, night sights, aggressive grip texture, and an enclosed optic option — all made in West Palm Beach, Florida

• The Canik TTI Combat, a factory-comped, striker-fired 9mm collaboration with Taran Tactical that blurs the line between carry gun and race gun

• The SFX Rival and Rival-S, Canik’s top-tier competition pistols, still punching above their price class with match-grade triggers and 18+1 capacity

• The METE SFX Pro, a long-slide, optics-ready tactical pistol perfect for defense and duty

• Canik’s signature trigger quality, praised across nearly every model as among the best factory striker-fired triggers in the game

• Their unique edge: incredible accessory kits — holsters, tools, optics plates, and even magwells included at a price that leaves other brands scrambling to compete

• Canik’s U.S. manufacturing facility, a game-changer that mirrors their Turkish production and marks a serious commitment to expanding their footprint in the American market

We also compare:

• MC9 Prime vs. Glock 48 and Sig P365XL

• TTI Combat vs. Shadow Systems and other factory-modded striker guns

• SFX Rival vs. guns twice its price in USPSA and IDPA competition

Whether you’re a new shooter, a die-hard Canik fan, or just looking for the next pistol to add to your carry rotation or match bag, this episode covers the full 2025 Canik lineup — from budget-friendly bangers to U.S.-built performance machines.
