Owners of the FDE/Black Mete MC9LS appreciate the two-tone finish as a distinguishing option in a compact carry market dominated by all-black pistols. The Flat Dark Earth frame paired with the black slide gets favorable comments for its look, though a minority find the contrast too bold for a carry gun.

The optics-ready cut is cited as a key reason buyers choose the MC9LS over comparable compacts. Getting that capability at this price point, combined with California compliance out of the box, is seen as a practical package for CA residents who want a modern striker-fired compact.

The 2-dot sights are considered adequate but basic. Many owners plan to upgrade or mount an optic, which the slide cut makes straightforward. Trigger feel is similar to other MC9 variants and generally draws qualified approval rather than strong enthusiasm.
