Ever heard of a Micro Roni before? If you’re into handguns, chances are good, but there’s still a lot of confusion out there on the topic, so this post will attempt to clear some of that up.
Is the Micro Roni a Firearm?
First things first, the Micro Roni is a conversion kit that sort of converts compatible handguns into something like a carbine style platform. Think of it as a chassis that enables a handgun to be converted into a pistol-caliber carbine, or PCC. They feature durable and relatively lightweight construction from a combination of aluminum and polymer. Strictly speaking, Micro Roni conversion kits are not firearms. However, depending on how they are configured, they might be considered NFA items. So even though they are not technically firearms, they are firearms accessories and you may need special dispensation from the ATF to get one.
Why Get a Micro Roni for a Glock?
Because the Micro Roni converts the functionality of your handgun, it offers numerous advantages. The first one is that a Micro Roni does not require any disassembly or modification of the pistol. These platforms are truly drop-in ready.
Because the Micro Roni enables the handgun to be fired from the shoulder, it can considerably extend the effective range of the gun, making it easier for most users to improve accuracy, even at intermediate and extended ranges.
On top of that, Micro Roni conversion kits add mass to the platform and help with recoil reduction.
Moreover, Micro Roni conversion kits also have numerous mounting points, in addition to a long Pic rail over the top that makes adding accessories a snap.
They also feature an ambidextrous charging handle for fast manual cycling, along with a spare magazine carrier at the front, which provides a great deal of flexibility and which can also be used as a vert grip.
Are They Compatible with Other Handguns?
Yes, even if you’re here looking for a Micro Roni for a Glock pistol, it’s important to note that they are also compatible with a wide range of other handguns, including but not limited to CZ, Taurus, Sig Sauer, Springfield, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and other popular handguns.
Micro Roni vs. Micro Conversion Kit: What’s the Difference?
At first glance, it might look like a Micro Roni and a CAA MCK (that is, micro conversion kit) were basically the same thing. And, depending on the way you think of the word “basically” they might be.
They are both chassis platforms that overhaul the functionality of compatible handguns, converting them. They both enable more confident, accurate shooting, even at intermediate ranges, and are considerably expandable.
However, there are some minor differences between them. The Micro Roni is a little bigger and heavier than the MCK, and it also has a slightly more involved installation process. The grips of each are a little bit different too.
The MCK offers better compatibility with a wider range of handguns, and on top of that, the MCK is a bit more expensive, too.
