Marine Sniper’s review of the CAA MCK (Micro Conversion Kit) August 10, 2020

These are strange times.  I think we all see that. Applications for firearms have increased 500% in Pennsylvania alone.. I happened to be at a gun range in Conroe Texas that I really like.  Shooters Station in Conroe has very knowledgeable staff…great ranges and a great selection…Many gun ranges have ‘gun dorks’ that are arrogant…aloof and not really helpful.  I have shot at scores of gun ranges.  Most leave me unimpressed.. Shooters Station is very good!  Caleb gave me a few free range passes and was super helpful!

These folks at Shooters Station have a clean store,  amazing range and people willing to help at every step.  I happened to step in and saw they had a CAA MCK.  This is a kit that allows you to put a (in this case) a Glock 19 or 17 pistol) into a platform that turns it into a SBR (if you have the licence) or at least a pistol that is much more stable and allows you to put optics and other fun things on it….

I mounted a Sig Romeo5and did shoulder it at the range.  I wanted to see how it shot.  WOW!  First..the MCK..is LIGHT!  Very light.  Probably about 1 lb…it is made of Polymer and is super light and strong.  I put my Glock 17inside…and zeroed my Sig Romeo5.  That little PWD (Personal Defense Weapon) was amazing!  No recoil…zero flash…it was dinging at 25 yards like nobody’s business!  I did not upgrade to a match barrel and the G17 had not even been broken in!

It has Picatinny rails and collapses down to about 10 inches.  Small enough to keep in a small back pack. Weighed with the Pistol inside and a light, laser and Romeo5?  Less than 3.5 lbs.  Easy to handle.

I can say definitively..if I had to get into a gun fight..I would much rather have a G17 or G17 in the MCKthan go with just the pistol.  As a friend of mine said (wont say where he works)…“Shooting a rifle well is like driving a race car.  Shooting a pistol well is like flying a fighter jet”. Based upon his background…I agree.  Putting good optics on the MCK and the stability makes it a no brainier in my mind.

I have decided my G17 will live in my MCK platform.  It folds up nicely to keep in my Jeep and no need to have a Pistol alone.

At the range, I shot rapid shot at 25 yards.  It was a bit high and left but ammo right now is hard to come by so I just wanted to group.  You can see the group I shot.  20 Rounds at 25 yards…off hand all within 2.5 inches using a red dog sight.  WOW!  That is impressive from a 9mm Glock with a stock barrel I was shooting at bout 2 rounds per second!  Needless to say, I am super impressed.  

Construction is SOLID!  Polymer is very strong…it is modular and it does not rust.  The stock moves with ease and keeping the G17 in place is solid.  Keeps zero very well!  Overall,  it is worth the $298 I paid at Shooter’s Station 100x over.  I was a bit concerned as I had never met them that I might be given a ‘tourist rate”…nope…$298.  For that price…amazing.

For anyone looking for a great PDW and that has a Glock 17/19/22/23/43 etc.  Definitely check out CAA MCK!  One thing to consider.  I teach a LOT of people to shoot pistols.  That is hard.  I can put someone behind the MCK with a Glock and they are dead on within 5 minutes!  In today’s world..that is important…..
