Canik METE MC9 9mm vs Sig Sauer P365 9mm

The Canik METE MC9 9mm carries 15+1 to the Sig Sauer P365 9mm's 10+1 and ships with a factory optic cut; this P365 is not optic-ready. The widest gap on the sheet is the trigger, 3.8 lb against 5.5 lb, 1.7 lb lighter on the Canik. The P365 is the smaller and lighter gun: 17.8 oz to 21.27 oz, a 3.47 oz difference, 5.8" overall to 6.1", 4.3" tall to 4.52" and 1.06" wide to 1.12". It wears XRAY3 day/night sights front and rear where the MC9 runs a white dot front and a blacked-out rear. MSRP is $439.99 against $519.99.

Pick the Canik METE MC9 if:

• You want five more rounds, 15+1 against 10+1, plus a factory optic cut
• A 3.8 lb trigger, 1.7 lb lighter than the P365's 5.5 lb, is what you want from a micro
• $439.99 against $519.99, with interchangeable backstraps included

Pick the Sig Sauer P365 if:

• You want the lighter carry gun at 17.8 oz, 3.47 oz under the MC9
• The smaller envelope matters: 5.8" long and 4.3" tall, 0.22" shorter than the MC9
• You want XRAY3 day/night sights front and rear rather than adding them later

Both are micro-compacts within 0.06" of each other in width, so the choice is between the Canik's capacity, optic cut and lighter trigger and the Sig's smaller, lighter frame and night sights for $80 more.
