I got to hold one at a gun show last weekend and I’m glad I did because I hate how it fits my hand. If I’d spent that much money sight unseen I’d have been pissed. To me the gen 6 Glock feels much better.

Thats fair. It fits my hand a little tight with the Radian backstrap too. Canik sent it with 2 more backstraps to make it compatible with anyone's hand size

Someone should make an app where you hold your hand up to the camera and it tells you what pistols will fit you best. Fit is real, it either does or not.

But adjustable back straps change the grip size

Canik really has my interest, want that micro compact Mete.


The Mete MC9 is my EDC. It’s got the typical smooth Canik trigger and is the perfect size. I shoot it very well compared to other subcompacts I’ve tried including the Springfield hellcat.

Canik is the only 9mm pistol I buy at this point. If Canik expanded to other calibers I wouldn’t buy any other brand of semi

It was the width of the grip that didn’t fit me. I had always thought about an FN 509 but when I picked one of those up at this same gun show I was surprised how thin it felt. Springfield Hellcat, same thing but the Echelon full size and compact both felt perfect.

This site is useful. I use it to compare guns I don't have to guns that I know fit me.
