Another Canik

I was interested in getting a pistol with the same design features and size, without the “colorful” finish of my Miami Nights Signature Series; so after my annual Dr. visit in Brooksville this morning, I stopped at the LGS that I bought my Rival Darkside from.

They had a couple of METE SFTs in flat dark earth (which looks OD green to me 🤷🏻‍♂️); which is the same model as the Miami Nights, sans the Miami Vice-style finish.

Since the first Canik limited edition series pistols are going for over $1K now; I put the Miami Nights one up in it’s case, along with all the original equipment that came with it.

I’ll shoot the new plain model at IDPA practice tomorrow; then when it functions as I know that it will, it’ll go into the carry rotation. I actually found that the Miami Nights carries very well, and last week I used the factory supplied OWB/IWB holster OWB, and found that it hides and carries very comfortably; so I’ll be using the new factory one tomorrow at IDPA, and for carry, OWB.

A 27 ounce pistol that carries 18 rounds of 9mm in a flush-fitting mag, with a great trigger; what’s not to like? Everyone that I’ve showed these pistols to have all had exactly the same comment; “I had no idea you were carrying anything!” And, as usual; my cover garment is a tee shirt…. 😀

What position do you typically carry that, when IWB, if you don't mind sharing? It conceals that well?

You definitely have me looking in their direction, Rick. Another nice pickup.

If I was a criminal, though, I'd be greatly disappointed to be ventilated by a plain brown wrapper pistol and not the high style of the Miami Nights version. :cool::ROFLMAO:

I always carry at 3:00; whether IWB or OWB.
Not 3:30-4:30, not 5:00; but actual 3:00. 👍

I recently purchased the Darkside (primarily a range gun and possibly HD), and have been pleasantly surprised. 250 rounds so far and no function issues, great trigger & short reset, accurate, natural pointer, and various items in the case including the holster. The holster is functional (better than I expected), and at this point there aren't many holster options. I still need to get comfortable with the trigger pull from reset; wow it is short and is quite light!

Jim at Panther Concealment bought the blue gun to make a holster for my Canik Rival Darkside; so he’s set up to make one for you, if you like.

Thanks for the tip Rick. I bought a couple of Panther holsters years ago, and I kind of forgot about them.
