4. 18-Round Mags: The Mete SFT One runs on standard 18-round steel magazines that are reasonably priced if you want to stock up, too. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
5. Great Training Companion: You don’t have to baby this gun, which makes it a great training companion if you want to put thousands of rounds through it for training or sport. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
6. Excellent Trigger: Canik’s Mete line has great triggers that offer a short takeup and reset for accurate and fast shooting. Mine breaks at right around 4 pounds. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
7. Good Looks: I personally find the profile of the Mete SFT to be very attractive. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
8. Robust Finish: Even after extensive shooting, reholstering, and carry time, the finish on all the Caniks I have tested – including several personal ones – has not noticeably worn or chipped. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
9. Easy Disassembly & Cleaning: The Mete SFTs quickly break down into just four main parts, thanks to the easy-to-use disassembly lever. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
10. Metal Sights: The Mete SFT One comes with metal sights. There are also tons of options for upgrades, or you can just run the metal three-dot setup that comes with the gun – that’s what I do. Also, note the red striker indicator at the rear showing the gun is cocked and ready to fire. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
11. Size Options: You can pick between this very controllable full-size Mete SFT One or the more compact Mete SF One. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
12. Ergonomic Grip Angle: The more vertical grip angle of the Canik Mete SFT points naturally and helps with recoil control. I far prefer it to the grip angle on my Glocks. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
13. Solid Grip Texture & Slide Serrations: Canik gave the Mete SFTs good grip texture. It also added aggressive front and rear slide serrations right from the factory. The rear backstrap can even be adjusted depending on your hand size. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
14. Good Aftermarket Support: Canik and other manufacturers have good support for parts and accessories to enhance the Mete line of guns. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
15. Optics-Ready Design: The Mete SFT One is optics-ready with a Trijicon RMR/RMRcc and Shield RMS/RMSc footprint, which is great to get you on target at longer ranges, in low-light conditions, or just for faster target acquisition in general. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
16. Holster Options: There are loads of holster options for the Canik Mete SFT One from both large and small holster makers alike. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
17. Quality Magazines: Canik’s 18-round magazines for the Mete SFT One are made by the well-respected manufacturer Mec-Gar. They are robust, reliable, and set the industry standard for quality mags. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
18. Oversized Controls: The Mete SFT One hosts an elongated, ambidextrous slide stop/release and an oversized magazine release. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)
