The Canik METE MC9LS Signature Series Midnight Drip 9mm pistol (Canik part no. HG7896DRW-N) puts custom Cerakote artwork on the long-slide MC9 platform, and only 2,500 of them are being built. It is an optic-ready, striker-fired 9mm with a 3.64-inch barrel and a 17+1 capacity, and it ships with two 17-round magazines. The slide is cut for a red dot, and the trigger system has no manual thumb safety, which keeps the controls simple for concealed carry. Canik produces the Signature Series itself as factory-original, individually numbered releases, so this one works as both a collector’s piece and a pistol you can carry.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, the most common carry and training cartridge, so practice ammunition is easy to find.
• The barrel measures 3.64 inches, which gives a longer sight radius than a shorter micro-compact slide while keeping the pistol compact.
• Capacity is 17+1, a high count for a pistol this size.
• Two 17-round magazines are included, so a spare is ready out of the box.
• The slide is optic-ready, so a red dot mounts without a custom milling job.
• The pistol has no manual thumb safety and relies on its striker-fired trigger, which removes a control to manage during a draw.
• The finish is the Midnight Drip custom Cerakote, a factory design created for Canik’s Signature Series.
• This is a limited edition of 2,500 pistols, each individually numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.
• The action is striker-fired semi-automatic, a simple design with one trigger pull for every shot.
• The sights are fixed, so there is nothing to adjust or knock out of position.
