Zanders of Sparta, Illinois has become the initial national wholesaler offering the Canik METE MC9LS Flying Aces, a 9mm compact pistol finished with laser-ablated Cerakote graphics drawn from World War II aircraft.

The model uses the METE MC9LS frame, ships optic-ready with a reversible magazine release, a 3.64-inch barrel and 17-plus-one capacity, and arrives with two 17-round magazines plus a case, holster, cleaning kit and tools.

Dealers obtain the special-edition firearm through Zanders Sporting Goods, an all-women-owned firm with more than fifty years serving U.S. retailers.
