Canik has built a following by giving shooters a lot of features at a fair price, and the METE SF is a good example. It is a 9mm pistol with a slide cut for a red dot, and this used example comes with a red dot installed, two magazines, and the factory box.

A pistol that arrives with an optic saves you a step. Mounting and zeroing a red dot takes time, and the results depend on the plate and screws. When you receive the pistol, check that the optic sits firmly, the screws are snug, and the dot appears where you expect. Test it at the range before you rely on it.

The SF designation points to a single-action trigger option with a short, crisp break. Canik pistols also have a steel-feeling slide and a well-shaped grip, and owners say they shoot flat. The extra weight helps tame the recoil of a 9mm.

Take a few minutes to inspect the pistol. Rack the slide, test each magazine, and look at the barrel and chamber. Check the finish for marks. For a shooter who wants an optic-equipped pistol without paying the premium for a big-name brand, this one deserves a look. It is sold as described, in used condition, and ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
