Turning your Glock handgun into a carbine is a lot easier than you might expect, and here at OpticsPlanet, we have the carbine conversion kits you need to make the process simple and smooth. There are conversion kits for a wide variety of the most popular Glock models, including Glock 17, Glock 19, Glock 23, as well Gen 3 through Gen 5 versions of each one. Turning your Glock pistol into a Glock carbine involves adding a longer barrel to give you more accuracy and bullet velocity, as well as increases the amount of Picatinny rail space on top and M-LOK rails on the handguards. With the increased space, you can add larger optics and attachments that wouldn’t fit on a traditional handgun, such as a full-size red dot sight, a foregrip, a stabilizing brace, and more. Plus, the best part is that when you use a conversion kit properly, it doesn’t transform your Glock handgun into an NFA item, so you don’t need a tax stamp.
Why Do They Call It a Carbine?
A carbine is a firearm that is similar to a rifle but has a shorter barrel. A carbine also tends to be chambered in a pistol caliber, which is where the term Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) comes from. Since Glock handguns are all chambered in pistol calibers, such as 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, using a conversion kit on one makes it a pistol caliber carbine. A Glock carbine is also more similar to a bullpup rifle than a traditional AR 15 because you still load magazines through the pistol grip, rather than in front of the grip. Glock conversion kits extend the barrel of your firearm and usually use a polymer shell and adapters to attach to the handgun and make it a longer weapon that is easier to use, while sacrificing concealability.
What Does a Glock Micro Conversion Kit Do?
The CAA MCK, or micro conversion kit, is a popular Glock carbine kit that many people use to upgrade their handguns. They are popular because you don’t need to disassemble your pistol to use them, all you have to do is place the pistol in the kit, lock it in place, and you’re ready to fire. They also add a built-in charging handle and a folding stock-style stabilizer brace. The CAA MCK is available for a wide variety of Glocks in various generations, including Glock 17/19, Glock 26/27, and more.
How Far Will a 9mm Carbine Shoot?
A carbine conversion kit can make your Glock more accurate at longer distances, with many of them maintaining accuracy to at least 100 yards. This is because a longer barrel makes the bullet have a flatter trajectory and more speed, reducing how much it moves in flight. Additionally, you can mount larger optics on a carbine than a handgun, so you have a better sight picture at range.
