CANiK METE SFT PRO: Built for the best, by the best.

CANiK’s new METE SFT PRO brings custom features to an everyday pistol, and the PRO PACK turns it into an all-in-one, light-equipped, optics-ready carry system.

Give shooters features usually found modified or custom-made pistols, at a price that makes sense. The new METE SFT PRO with pushes that idea further, and it is at home on the range as it is on your hip every day.

A Slide that works as hard as it looks

The aggressively cut slide is the first thing you notice, and the window cut-outs on its front-sides and top, set the SFT PRO apart. Lightening the slide and make it easier to rack and lowers the slide’s reciprocating mass, which can mean less muzzle movement and faster return of the sights or red dot to target in between shots.

The openings also help shed heat during long range sessions and show off the chrome-plated, fluted barrel.

Tactical features out of the box

CANiK’s triggers are the best factory triggers available for striker fired pistols. The SFT PRO’s aluminium 90° trigger, with a short reset and nickel-coated action components, delivers a crisp, consistent break. An extended flared magwell speeds up reloads, the low-profile ambidextrous slide-stop and mag release is easy to reach against the clock, and the redesigned beavertail gets the hand higher for better recoil management.

The PRO PACK: The rest of your rig, sorted!

A pistol is only part of a carry system. The PRO PACK combines three premium components in one ready-to-run kit, in a clear-front zippered carry bag, with a dedicated METE fitment.

  • Army Ant Gear MORPH COMPACT holster: premium Kydex®, light-bearing, ambidextrous IWB with a positive clip-in draw, expandable to OWB, paddle, chest, thigh and Molle.
  • Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie: 600 lumens, 100 m throw, 73 g, magnetic USB charging, on or off the rail in under a second.
  • Vector Optics Frenzy-S FA (SCRD-73): 3 MOA parallax-free red dot with motion-sensor activation, side-load battery tray, IP67 rating and a 23 g 7075-T6 aluminium body.
Why they belong together:

The SFT PRO is built to accommodate a light and an optic, and the PRO PACK supplies both plus, a holster made to carry them. The PL-Mini 2 clips onto the 1913 Picatinny rail, the MORPH COMPACT’s adjustable cavity is shaped for exactly that kind of compact light, and the Frenzy-S gives the optics-ready slide its dot, with the iron sights as a backup.

For everyday carry, that adds up to one concealable, light-equipped, optic-ready setup with no guesswork. Whether you are stepping into competition or need a serious everyday-carry setup, the METE SFT PRO and PRO PACK gives you a complete, matched system from day one.

The SFT PRO is only available from few independent dealers, so you might have to call around to find one for yourself.
