Owners of the METE MC9 Prime tend to praise Canik's fit and finish, and most report the pistol runs reliably once the action has a chance to smooth out. The ported, compensated barrel is a frequent talking point, with shooters saying it noticeably tames muzzle rise compared to a plain slide.

The compact grip and integrated compensator make the MC9 comfortable to carry, though a few owners note the ported slide adds some bulk next to a plain micro-compact pistol. The night sights and optics cut are well received by shooters who plan to run a red dot for daily carry.

On value, the METE MC9 Prime is generally seen as a lot of pistol for the price against other optics-ready compensated carry guns. Holster fit can be a minor hassle with the compensated slide, since not every micro-compact holster accommodates the shape, but factory magazines and aftermarket Canik parts are easy enough to find.
