The Canik METE MC9L 9mm in black stretches the MC9 micro-compact with a longer grip and a 17+1 capacity (Canik part no. HG7882-N). A 3.19-inch barrel and an optic-ready interface keep the slide compact and ready for a red dot. Canik adds a curved trigger, a white dot front sight and a blacked-out serrated rear sight. Two 17-round magazines ship with it. For daily carry that wants more grip and more rounds without a full-size footprint, this Canik is a sensible pick.
