Canik Announces METE MC9 Prime NC Micro-Compact Pistol

West Palm Beach, Fla. — Canik, a leader in high-performance, striker-fired pistols, today announced the latest addition to its popular METE MC9 family: the CANiK METE MC9 Prime NC.

Building directly on the success of the 2025 Concealed Carry Handgun of the Year, the METE MC9 PRIME, the new METE MC9 Prime NC offers shooters the class-leading micro-compact platform and feature set — now available without a ported barrel or slide. The non-compensated model is designed for users who prefer a traditional slide and barrel profile in a slim, high-capacity carry pistol.

"The METE MC9 PRIME has been overwhelmingly well-received for its balance of size, capacity, and optics-ready capability," said CANiK Director of Marketing Jeff Rose. "With the new METE MC9 Prime NC, we're giving customers exactly what they've asked for — the same outstanding ergonomics, trigger, and sight package in a non-compensated version that maintains the lightweight, slim profile our customers love."

The METE MC9 Prime NC retains every core handling characteristic and functional advantage of the METE MC9 PRIME platform while delivering a more traditional, non-ported slide design that many shooters prefer for specific carry methods or personal shooting styles.
