The Canik METE MC9 Prime 9mm in black is a micro-compact striker-fired carry pistol with an integrated compensator, an optic-ready slide and Night Fision tritium night sights (Canik part no. HG8328-N). It rides on the METE MC9 platform and holds 17+1 rounds behind a 3.64-inch barrel. A flat-face aluminum trigger and a polymer frame keep it slim and controllable for everyday carry. The slide takes Shield RMSc, CANiK ONYXc and CANiK PHANTOMc footprint optics. For concealed carriers who want capacity, night sights and a red dot path in one package, this Canik is the standard black Prime.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, the most common carry and training cartridge, so ammunition is easy to find.
• Magazine capacity is 17+1 rounds, a high count for a micro-compact that still conceals well.
• The barrel measures 3.64 inches, which keeps the slide short for concealed carry.
• The pistol has an integrated compensator at the muzzle end of the slide, intended to reduce muzzle rise.
• The slide is optic ready for Shield RMSc, CANiK ONYXc and CANiK PHANTOMc footprint optics, so a red dot mounts without milling.
• The sights are Night Fision tritium night sights front and rear, which keep a visible sight picture in low light.
• The trigger is a flat-face aluminum design, which gives a consistent finger position on every press.
• The finish is black, the standard Prime colorway with no contrast panels.
• The pistol ships with two 17-round magazines, so a spare is ready right out of the case.
• The frame is polymer, a light, durable material for all-day carry.
