Canik has just announced a non-compensated METE MC9 Prime variant called the MC9 Prime NC.
Compensated pistols are incredibly popular at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that everyone wants one. While they offer advantages when it comes to shooting performance, they have some disadvantages as well, especially in the context of concealed carry and defensive use. Namely, increased muzzle flash, noise and concussion that could be detrimental if shooting in low-light conditions or from inside a vehicle. Comped pistols are more particular about ammo, too. For those who prefer to control muzzle flip the old-fashioned way through training, Canik has just announced the METE MC9 Prime NC.
The NC in METE MC9 Prime NC stands for non-compensated, as the standard, original version features a ported barrel and slide for reduced muzzle flip. The new NC version offers all the same features as the original, minus the integral compensator. Those features include a large grip texture area, deep front and rear slide serrations, an aluminum 90-degree flat-face trigger, Night Fision Tritium sights and an optics-ready slide. It also has an accessory rail, a magwell and 17-round capacity magazines, all in a carry-friendly size.
Jeff Rose, Canik’s Director of Marketing, said this about the new non-comped pistol:
The METE MC9 PRIME has been overwhelmingly well-received for its balance of size, capacity, and optics-ready capability … 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 has an MSRP of $650, and while the pistol’s webpage doesn’t specify this, it’s safe to presume that it ships with the usual Canik extras like a holster and different backstrap sizes.
