Canik Mete MC9 Prime 9mm

Guns & Ammo interviews Century Arms’ Vice President of Business Development and Marketing Adam Ruonala and discusses the popular Canik line of handguns including the Mete MC9 Prime in 9mm, which appears in the July 2025 issue. Unlike most Canik models made in Turkey, the Mete MC9 Prime is made in the U.S. and represents a complete collection of current trends. The Mete MC9 Prime is an optic-ready pistol with an RMSc footprint and has a compensated barrel and slide that keeps muzzle rise to a minimum. The gold-anodized trigger safety calls attention to the flat face and incredibly smooth pull, while an excellent texture enhances every contact point and grip surface. Discussing the growth and changes to Century Arms’ Canik line is Editor-in-Chief Eric Poole and Handgun Editor James Tarr, who evaluated the Mete MC9 Prime for Guns & Ammo’s coverstory.
