The METE MC9L is a striker-fired 9mm with a polymer frame in FDE and a matte black slide, delivering a clean two-tone look. It measures 6.27 in in overall length, 5.43 in in height, and 1.12 in in width, with a 22.15 oz weight for balanced carry and control.
The slide is optics-ready and cut for RMSc, Sig Romeo Zero, and MECANiK M01 footprints, and includes an optic cover plate when irons are used. Front and rear serrations and an external extractor round out the slide features. Dovetailed iron sights pair a white dot front with a blacked-out rear for a fast, uncluttered sight picture.
Controls are modern and user-focused, with ambidextrous slide stop levers and a reversible magazine release. Safety elements include a trigger safety blade, loaded chamber indicator, and striker status indicator. A MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail with three slots supports common lights and accessories.
Ergonomics are adaptable via interchangeable backstraps, and this example is customized with an installed Hogue HandALL rubber grip sleeve with finger grooves. It ships with two 17-round steel magazines to match the pistol’s 17+1 capacity.
Proof and import markings read "CENTURY ARMS INC GEORGIA, VT, Made in Turkey," confirming its import route and country of origin. As part of the METE series, it offers current Canik feature sets in a compact, capacity-rich format.
