The compact CANiK METE MC9 PRIME pistol has been named the 2025 ICA (Industry Choice Awards) Concealed Carry Handgun of the Year. This compact single-stack 9mm pistol features a ported barrel and an optics-ready slide. Average retail price is $599.99.
Testers have stated the METE MC9 Prime has good ergonomics, a good trigger, and the ported barrel reduces muzzle rise compared to popular carry pistols such as the Glock 19 and Ruger American. The controls are nice and the pistol ships with 3 backstraps, so the grip can be adapted to owner hand size.
The METE MC9 Prime is equipped with an integrally-compensated slide and ported barrel, flat-faced trigger with 90-degree break, slide lightening cuts, and flared slide for smoother manipulation. The frame boasts full grip stippling for a better feel and control. The slide is optics-ready with co-witness capability. This made-in-USA CANik firearm ships in a premium hard case and includes two 17-round magazines, a G-Code IWB/OWB ambidextrous holster, 3 sizes of backstraps, tool/cleaning kits, and magazine speed loader.
Jeff Rose, CANiK Director of Marketing stated: “This isn’t just another micro-compact. The MC9 Prime delivers unmatched capacity, uncompromising control, and a trigger that redefines what you expect from a concealed carry firearm.” The METE MC9 Prime is the first pistol made in CANiK’s new facility in West Palm Beach, Florida.
