CANiK has a dedicated following, and that’s not a bad thing. They have truly redefined what a polymer-frame striker-fired pistol can be. Across their wide product range, they deliver significant value to users. Plus, they’re not afraid to push aesthetics, like with Miami Nights.
The latest introduction is a collaboration with Radian Weapons, a company that’s known for quality parts and accessories. New for 2026 is the CANiK Mete MC9 Prime Radian.
But that’s not all CANiK is showcasing. Other new products include VOID Suppressors. This suppressor line is a collaboration with Otter Creek Labs (that’s cool) and features multiple caliber and design options.
Also included in their new releases is an entire lineup of optics under the CANiK Optics banner. This new line includes micro red dots, red dots, and variable-powered riflescopes. CANiK is quietly becoming a full-service operation, offering everything an end user might need.
But now on to the PRIME Radian.

FEATURES
Built on the METE MC9 PRIME platform and upgraded with premium Radian components, it’s clearly designed for everyday carry but engineered with full-size ambition. The heart of the pistol is the Radian RAMJET barrel paired with the AFTERBURNER compensator, working in concert with the Radian BACKSTRAP+MAGWELL to noticeably reduce muzzle rise and improve shot-to-shot recovery. (I have this combo on another pistol, and I love it.)
The result is a flatter-shooting, low-recoil compact pistol that remains controllable without sacrificing concealability. CANiK’s flat-face trigger provides a crisp break and a short reset, while PRIME’s ergonomics feature aggressive grip texture, enhanced controls, and refined aesthetics.
An optics-ready slide topped with Night Fision tritium sights ensures fast target acquisition in any light, and included accessories facilitate easy personalization right out of the box.
ZOOMING OUT
The METE Prime Radian highlights the impressive collaborations between companies. The best part is that the CANiK METE Prime series is manufactured right here in the United States at CANiK’s West Palm Beach, FL facility.
