Canik has launched the METE MC9LS Flying Ace as part of the Canik Creations series, a World War II aviation tribute.

The finish uses laser ablation on Cerakote to cut through the top coat and expose the surface below, enabling detailed artwork to withstand handling. Canik based the motif on historic fighter planes using earth-colored weathering and aviation motifs as an original factory Canik Creations product.

The 9x19mm pistol offers 17+1 capacity, an optics-ready slide, a reversible magazine catch, the Canik trigger system, a polymer frame and steel slide and barrel. It includes a weatherproof carrying case, holster, cleaning kit, toolkit and two magazines and reaches buyers through authorized Canik distributors and dealers nationwide, with Canik targeting everyday carry, range use and collectors.
