CAA Introduces MCK Gen2 Conversion Kits
CAA USA has introduced the second generation of their MCK (Micro Conversion Kit) handgun conversion kit/chassis. Although visually it may look similar to the first generation, the MCK Gen2 has a number of (eight, to be exact) design changes that should actually improve the overall performance of the package quite a bit.
Here is the list of changes and improvements incorporated into the MCK Gen2 design (as seen on CAA’s website) followed by a video where Mikey Hartman, the CEO of CAA USA, shows these new features and tells about their advantages.
8 Advantages over the first gen MCK:
1. The Gen 2 MCK features a new extended stabilizer which allows the user to fire the Gen 2 MCK in the folded and locked position. The new stabilizer is compatible with Gen 1 MCKs as well.
2. The Gen 2 rear door extends back an additional 15 degrees, making it easier to insert and extract the handgun.
3. The Gen 2 MCK accommodates suppressor height sights.
4. The Gen 2 MCK features a new charging handle which makes more surface contact with the rear of the handgun slide.
5. The Gen 2 MCK features an aluminum top picatinny rail for improved stability, durability, and accuracy.
6. The Gen 2 MCK accepts CAA USA’s new brass catcher, made especially for our latest generation MCK. (Sold separately)
7. The Gen 2 MCK features an improved spare magazine holder that operates with a mag catch and magazine release button.
8. The Gen 2 MCK is suppressor friendly and can accommodate a suppressor up to 1.38” diameter.
The CAA MCK Gen2 kit is currently available for the following Glock pistol models: G17, G19, G19X, G22, G23, G25, G31, G32, and G45. The color options are as follows: black, white, FDE, OD green, tungsten/gray, orange, red and pink. You can also choose the brace length (short or extended) or order it with an SBR stock. The MSRP of the MCK Gen2 kit is $299. The estimated start of shipping is January 15.
Tell us in the comments section if you think the added/changed features do provide a drastic improvement and which one of them may make you give the MCK Gen2 a try.

That length of pull looks a bit longer than the ATF's prescribed 13" maximum for arm braces to not be considered a stock, and I like how they just use it as a stock in the official marketing video. I wonder how long it will be until the ATF smacks them down for this, and how long it will be before the ATF realizes that the number of arm braces out there that are regularly used as arm braces as opposed to just being used for circumventing the law is approaching zero.
you completely skipped that there is an M&P 2.0 version as well as the Glocks...
