Owners of the METE MC9L in FDE point to the included accessory package as a differentiator, particularly the custom holster that fits the optic-ready slide without modification. Build quality comments are largely positive, with the Cerakote finish noted as durable and consistent in color. Trigger feel draws mixed responses, with some owners finding it acceptable out of the box and others preferring to swap the trigger spring.

The sub-compact sizing is well-regarded for everyday carry, and the 17-round capacity is frequently cited as a strong point compared to similarly sized pistols. Grip texture earns praise for being aggressive enough for retention without being rough in daily carry. Shooters with smaller hands tend to favor the MC9L frame over full-size alternatives.

Value is the recurring theme for the MC9L. Owners consistently note that comparable optic-ready pistols with a similar accessory bundle cost significantly more. A small number of owners report initial stiffness in the magazine release that smooths out after use.
