About this product

The Canik Mete SFT Pro is the upgraded, match-oriented version of Canik's full-size Mete SFT pistol, adding a longer threaded barrel and Pro-specific slide work to a platform that's already earned a strong reputation for punching above its price point against far more expensive competitive 9mm pistols.

What sets the SFT Pro apart from the standard Mete SFT?

The Pro variant steps up to a 5-inch match-grade threaded barrel (1/2x28) instead of the standard SFT's shorter barrel, adding sight radius and a longer sight picture that competitive shooters generally prefer, while also making the barrel suppressor-ready without an aftermarket swap. The slide carries a black nitride finish with an optic cut ready for a red dot, and the pistol ships with both an 18-round and a 20-round magazine, giving you a flush-fit option and a higher-capacity option depending on the situation.

What are the full specs?

Chambered in 9mm, the Mete SFT Pro weighs approximately 1.74 pounds, with an overall length around 7.56 inches, a height of about 5.75 inches, and a width of roughly 1.41 inches. The frame is polymer with an aggressive texture pattern, and the trigger is Canik's flat-faced, competition-style trigger shoe, tuned lighter and crisper than a typical duty-gun trigger. The combination of a longer barrel, optic-ready slide, and match trigger is exactly what's made the broader Mete line a favorite among shooters who compete in USPSA, IDPA, and similar practical shooting disciplines without spending twice as much on a more established competition brand.

Because it ships with both 18-round and 20-round magazines, you get real flexibility between a slightly more concealable flush-fit setup and a maximum-capacity configuration for competition or home defense, without buying extra magazines separately just to have both options.

Who is the Mete SFT Pro built for?

This pistol is a strong fit for practical shooting competitors who want a longer sight radius, an optics-ready slide, and a genuinely good trigger without paying premium-brand prices, as well as for home-defense or range shooters who simply want high capacity and a suppressor-ready barrel in one package. It's less suited to concealed carry given its full-size dimensions and longer barrel — for that role, Canik's compact TP9 or Mete MC models are a better fit.

Because this is a firearm, it cannot ship to your home address. It transfers to a licensed FFL dealer near you, where you'll complete a background check and the required paperwork in person before taking possession. California buyers should confirm current roster status and magazine capacity compliance with their FFL before ordering, since the factory 18- and 20-round magazines exceed California's standard-capacity limits and roster approval can change independently of the model's availability elsewhere.

Canik's broader Mete and TP9 lineups have built a strong reputation over the past several years specifically for delivering features found on far more expensive pistols — match triggers, optics-ready slides, and generous magazine capacities — at a price point that undercuts most established competition brands significantly. The SFT Pro represents that value proposition at its most complete, aimed squarely at shooters who want to compete seriously without spending competition-gun money to get started. Aftermarket holster and optic-plate support for the Mete line has also grown quickly as the platform's popularity has increased, so outfitting this pistol for competition or daily use is easier than it was during the line's first release. Standard 9mm Luger ammunition feeds the SFT Pro reliably across a wide range of bullet weights and loads, so there's no need to hunt for specialty ammunition to get the most out of the pistol's accuracy potential.

FFL transfer required

This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.

California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
