The Canik METE MC9L 9mm FDE 17+1 is the extended-grip version of Canik‘s micro-compact METE MC9, built for concealed carry that still holds seventeen rounds (brand part no. HG7882D-N). The longer grip and added surface area give a full hand something to hold, while the 3.19-inch barrel keeps the slide short. A white dot front sight and a blacked-out serrated rear sight handle the iron-sight work, and the slide carries an optic-ready interface for a red dot. The polymer frame is finished in flat dark earth. It is a practical choice for everyday carry, a nightstand gun or a first optic-equipped pistol.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, a widely available cartridge with a broad choice of defensive and range loads.
• Capacity is 17+1, which gives a micro-compact carry gun a full-size magazine count.
• Two 17-round magazines are included, so a spare is ready from day one.
• The barrel is 3.19 inches, short enough to stay concealable under a cover garment.
• The slide has an optic-ready interface, so a red dot mounts without machining the slide.
• Sights are a white dot front and a blacked-out serrated rear, a simple pairing that is quick to pick up.
• The frame finish is flat dark earth over a polymer frame that keeps weight down.
• The action is striker-fired semi-automatic, with a curved trigger for a consistent reach.
• Overall dimensions are 6.25 inches long, 1.16 inches wide and 5.43 inches tall, a compact footprint for a 17-round pistol.
• Unloaded weight is 22.22 ounces, light enough for all-day carry.

The MC9L gives up very little to a full-size pistol in capacity while staying compact enough to carry every day, and the optic-ready slide leaves room to add a red dot later.
