SHOT Show 2016: The CAA Mic-Roni Pistol/Carbine Conversion Kit

CAA was at SHOT and was heavily promoting their Roni pistol conversion kits. For those of you who aren’t familiar, the Roni is a kit that accepts a pistol (Glock is their most popular model, for example), and gives the shooter some advantages lacked by the pistol itself, such as a full stock, a charging handle, and extra weight to counter recoil, as well as optic and accessory mounting options.

Remember, guys, you need an SBR stamp on your Glock to use this system!

CAA’s newest addition to the line is the Mic-Roni (available in Glock 17 and 19 versions as of writing), a more compact version of the Roni that actually integrates some better ergonomics. It has a right-folding stock (as opposed to the Roni’s collapsible stock) and the pistol can be operated with the stock folded. Many of the features on Mic-Roni are ambidextrous, including the trigger-guard safety, the cocking handle, and the serrated thumb rests on the chassis. A forward mounted extra magazine holder is quicker than the rear-mounted version from the original RONI. It also features an integral forward flashlight mount, Picatinny rails for two sighting devices and additional side rails.

    This might be nice if they made it for the Glock model 20 10mm pistol and then made a 16 inch barrel for it which would make it legal and give another couple hundred FPS bringing the ballistics up to hot 41 magnum levels

    Just get a Kel Tec Sub 2000 in 9mm. Uses Glock mags and costs arund $400. Now you have a fold up carbine in your back pack and your Glock 17 or 19 on your hip.

      @THE_SE7EN_SINS You can find them on gunbroker.com. Kel Tec is finally catching up with demand. I really like mine so far.
