Thank you for that nice range report.DadSmith, this is for you.
I bought a Canik METE SFT with a Sig Romeo Zero optic from a friend that was going thru some health issues and needed to raise some money.
Hadn't really ever thought about a Canik, but it was a nice looking gun, and the only one he was trying to sell that interested me. I knew he needed the money, and also sold a Springfield to a guy I worked with for him as well.
DadSmith and I had a conversation awhile back about the gun when I saw there was a Canik pistol thread.
He asked me to take it to the range and give a report. So I finally got around to taking it to the range to see what it would do.
All I can say is Wow!
I'm not the greatest shot, but this gun really impressed me. So here goes with my range report.
The gun:

Took it to Range USA out towards Avon.
I had never shot a pistol with an optic sight so I wasn't sure So i put put the target at 7 yds, loaded 10rds of Venom 115gr FMJ in the mag and let 'er rip. The results are below.

Then I loaded 10 more rds of the same Venom ammo and concentrated. Did I mention that I was some new shooting glasses with the cheaters in the top so I was getting used to those as well. The result of next 10 rds are below

Seemed to be better so I tried 10 rds of Remington UMC 115gr FMJ, and the grouping was nice. See below

Not bad for me so I moved on to the next ammo choice. 14 rds of Federal 24gr HST JHP's. Not sure why I put in 14 rds??

Maybe it was the heavier bullets, but dang I impressed myself (gotta be the gun). So one of the things that I always do when I go to the range is a point and shoot at a target. No aiming just point and shoot. Did this ten HST's

Couple of flyers to start, but eventually brought it in (uh, I always try to make my first shot to the RH shoulder)
Finished out with a couple more sets of 10 rds.

I was impressed with how the gun felt with recoil and for sure this is a keeper. Still not sure about shooting with an optic.
I have a G48 with a Holosun 507K so now I will need to get it out to the range.
So this is my first ever range report. Like it or tear it up either way I learned something about Caniks and had a blast.
