Way better than expected - Meta Tactical MX1 Conversion Kit for All Glock Pistols

Let me set the scene. I had an old Glock 17 gen 4 that has been roaming between the safe and the truck. It has a horrendous trigger and the rear sight is super banged up and nearly unusable. Not to mention a botched stipple job that I did years ago when I thought I could do it myself and actually make it look good. So needles to say I’ve been looking for something to “do” with it. Not worth it to sell and definitely not my go to pistol. So that’s where the MX1 comes in.
I’ve had my eye on this pretty much since they first came out. I was eyeing the micro roni originally but never pulled the trigger (pun intended). Then the MX1 came out and I liked the style way more but still couldn’t justify the purchase. Well at least until recently.
I picked this up on sale and it did not disappoint. It was way better than I expected. Since I had a Glock 17, I didn’t have to change any of the adapters so I could literally just pop it in. Now I was expecting some play because how could something that is meant for so many different size pistols be that universal? Well I can say it was snug as a bug. As long as you follow the instructions, you will be in good shape. So let’s break down some of the things I observed.
First off, it’s way sturdier than I thought. Fitment is fabulous and the stock/brace is rock solid. I thought it was going to be the weak point considering it’s mostly plastic but the metal core definitely keeps this bad boy “firm”. The full metal pic rail was also a nice touch as well as the shroud at the front. Not what I expected for the price. Especially when most gun parts are outrageously overpriced. So I applaud you meta tactical. Well done
Now, even though this chassis far surpassed my expectations, I will say there is one thing that I could consider a “con” and that’s the charging feature. Let me first say that the charging idea on the MX1 is waaaay better than the micro roni, but mad you need to have some grip strength in order to rack the slide. I thought I didn’t install something correctly originally but I found out you have to rip it! Charging the slide is harder than I was watching Megan Fox work on a Camaro in Transformers. Can it be done? Yes, but people who have a hard time racking slides in general may struggle with this.
All in all, this thing slaps. It’s fun, it’s cool and it’s well priced. If you’re in the fence like I was, take my word for it and just add it to the cart and get it. You’ll dig it.
