Out of the box the MC9 is one tight son of a b! I had a very hard time getting the slide to lock open. The take down levers were also very tight. Field stripped and lubed, off to range the following day.
Range Day 1 - Growing Pains, 1st 25 rounds (115 gr CCI Blazer) were a nightmare. FTF, FTE Stovepipes, mag falling to lock open. Brass ejecting everywhere. After those 25 or so rounds everything started working as it should. No more of the above issues in all rounds after that. The trigger didn't feel quite like my other Caniks (TP9SFX & METE SFX) I expected it to be a little heavier and thats fine but it just didn't feel right. Recoil was actually softer than my Walther PPS and thats impressive. After the gowing pains rds it ran 150 rds flawlessly. Was shooting the gun a bit to the left. Day one left me with mixed emotions.
Range day 2 - Before I headed to the range for a second time, I field stripped the gun, cleaned and lubed it. As I was working some lube into he trigger I heard and felt a slight "click". trigger seemed to be working ok, so throught nothing of it. After everything was reassembled, started to dry fire and notice that the trigger felt completely different and for the better! It now felt like a Canik trigger should. Accuracy improved immensely. The MC9 started running like a well oiled machine. 200 rds fired flawlessly. My handgun range target is a quarter size circle, shooting at 8-12 yds.
Range day 3 - All tightness gone. 200 rds fired without a single failure. Three different brands of FMJ. Extremely soft shooting firearm, I could shoot this firearm all day if I wanted too. It just keeps getting better and better. More than 95% of my shots were in the circle, the othjer 5% were just outside.
Range day 4 - Hollowpoint day. Ran over 100 rds of assorted HP's. Not a single failure. I am now more accurate with the MC9 than any other small 9 I've fired and I have fired just about all of them. After the initial short breakin this handgun has become an absolute winner. I am totally confident having this gem on my hip.
