i just can't think of any reason you shouldn't get this it is definitely one
how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel today we're going to be looking at
this little guy right here the caa mck i'm gonna tell you everything you need to know
about it all the features and some applications that you might could use for something like this
now mck stands for micro conversion kit and that's exactly what it does it takes your standard
handgun and basically converts it into this nice little package similar to something like an sbr
or a sub gun or something like that now some of you might already be familiar with the micro roni
that was the first generation of this and there were several versions of the micro
roni now this is actually the second gen mck so this is not a new product but this version of
it is fairly new to the market it's been out for about a year now and they're coming out with new
versions that can accommodate a lot of different pistols as you can see here mine is for the glock
this is a glock 17 in here this particular version can accommodate any glock in that family so that's
going to be the 17 the 19 19x 22 23 31 and all of those that are of that family they also make the
mck for several other glock handguns smith and wesson mmp sig and they're starting to make it
for a lot of other platforms too so chances are if they don't have one that accommodates a pistol you
already have then they will be coming out with one shortly because they are coming out with new stuff
every day so right out of the box this is what you're going to get right here and it's
very simple and pretty fast to get your pistol integrated into this especially with a little
bit of practice so um the easiest way to do that is you're just going to turn that upside down and
you'll see the charging handle here has grooves that are going to correspond with the cocking
serrations on the side on the slide of the pistol so all you're gonna do is turn it upside down
and you're just gonna drop that gun in there line up those uh slide serrations push it down and then
you're gonna push it all the way forward until it locks and you can actually hear it lock into place
then this flap right here is just going to fold down and you're going to
push forward and you will hear an audible click to let you know that that thing's
in place and that's all there is to it this bad boy is locked in there nice and tight there is
no wiggle at all there's no movement of that thing and we do have a little red indicator
there to let you know that that is locked completely in place exactly how it needs to be
and that's all there is to it guys to get it out you're just going to flip it back over there's a
button here that opens up this latch so you hit that button and pull that latch open and then
there are some tabs right here you're going to pull those tabs while pulling back on the gun and
that's just going to release it and then you just lift it up out of the charging handle there and
you're good to go all right so let's go over the features of this bad boy now i already told you
they make different versions to accommodate a lot of different handguns one of the first
things you'll notice is that you have a continuous picatinny rail right here along the top on the gen
1 mck that was polymer now i don't necessarily see a problem with that some people did say they had
some concerns about it not locking up tight enough because it was a polymer rail on the 2.0 mck you
do get a metal rail on top and that's going to accommodate these backup sites like you see here
any kind of red dots you want to put in there or any other optics you might want to throw on top of
this bad boy you do have two additional picatinny rails here on the side as you can see i have the
little accessory thumb rest on there on both sides and that's not something that comes with it the
thumb rests you're gonna have to pay a little extra for for their accessory kit and we'll go
over the accessory kit too but that rail there you could put a light laser any kind of accessories
you want to put on that side picatinny rail now something else you'll notice you may not even need
to put a light on that side picatinny rail because the mck has a built-in spot for a flashlight right
there now it doesn't come with the flashlight from the factory it comes with basically a placeholder
here and you can see it's got some little tabs you push in there and that flashlight
pops right out and then if you get their accessory kit you will get this flashlight this is a 500
lumen light i believe it's made by olight very nice little light and i love the way that they
integrate that into here it just pops back into place and then it's nice and secure and we'll
talk a little bit more about that in a minute it does have completely ambidextrous fast handling
you have a charging handle is accessible on both sides there the flashlight can be accessible on
both sides just by flipping it over to put that button on whichever side you want it on you do
have plenty of access to your pistol here on this side and you'll see on the other side they have
this nice cut out so that allows you to get to your slide lock slide release there on that side
but you do have full access full operation of your slide from this charging handle which is
one of the really cool things about this is that it adds that charging handle function similar to
any other rifle or sbr something like that it does have this really nice ergonomic hand grip
here on the front it's kind of an angled grip and it does have these notches here for your fingers
to fit in that's what that's for now because this is still a pistol you cannot have a vertical grip
so this acts as your angled fore grip on the front from there you got a nice comfortable spot to put
your fingers have quick access to whatever you have here on the picatinny rail like i said i
have the thumb rest there but also quick access to actuate that light now one of the coolest
things about this is that it does have a spot here to hold an extra magazine that's all this
is it's a spot to hold your extra magazine and i think that is a really cool idea so that when you
when you run dry on your main magazine you just hit your
uh magazine release on your pistol like you normally would that's going to drop out and then
you can access this other magazine and quickly get that into place i think that's a fantastic idea
now there is a difference between the gen 1 and the gen 2 mck there again uh the gen 1
this magazine was just held in by friction that's it now on the 2.0 they upgraded that
and they added a magazine release button here that's just going to make it a little more secure
where you don't have to worry about that magazine accidentally falling out when you don't want it to
but operating that magazine release is super easy just hit it while you're grabbing your
magazine there's no extra time involved or anything like that it's a really nice
idea there that is not a vertical foregrip that is a magazine holder so you still have
your angled fore grip up here this technically is not a vertical grip it's just a magazine
holder that's important to understand for atf purposes and things like that another one of the
coolest parts about this thing and one of the main reasons i got this is for the side folding brace
to release that you just have a button here on the back you hit that button
and that releases it and allows you to fold it you also have a tab here on the side so that that
thing will lock in place so it's not flopping all over the place that's a really nice touch there
now another difference from the 1.0 and the 2.0 is that the 1.0 mck had a shorter stabilizing brace
and because of that it i believe it's still locked in place i'm not sure about that
but because of where the brace laid when it folded it was hard to get your finger in here
and operate it uh with it folded with the 2.0 it does have the longer brace so you can easily get
your hand in there and operate this one-handed it will fire just fine with the brace folded
it's also important to note that if you do want the 1.0 or they don't make the 2.0 for your model
handgun you can still get this gen 2 stabilizing brace and it'll work just fine on the 1.0 so
this thing folds up into a really nice small package especially if you take these magazines out
you got a really nice small package there to fit in a backpack or a bag or really
anywhere you want to put this thing personally i think this will make the perfect truck gun
so that's kind of the application that i have in mind for it so that's another one of the biggest
features is its small size and the fact that this thing really packs up into a nice small package
now just a few more features here guys um underneath this uh thumb rest that i have there
are a couple screws here inside of this side pick rail to accommodate a 19 versus a 17 glock or some
of your shorter smith and wesson's to longer smith and wesson's that kind of thing this barrel shroud
here moves in and out and the way you adjust that is through these screws you just loosen it up
pull it out for your longer pistols push it in for your shorter pistols and your instruction
manual will tell you all that so like i said it's going to accommodate a lot of different things
that accessory kit you'll notice i have uh a sling on here that is going to come with the swivel
and the sling this is a pretty nice sling it's a one point sling with the bungees on both sides
you have the pop-up sights those are from mck you can pick those up for like 30 bucks
very similar to something like a magpul mbus site so that is nice you get thumb rest here
it comes with two so you can put one on both sides that way you are fully ambidextrous depending on
how you want to shoot it like i said it does come with that light on the front which is a really
nice feature there as you can see i had this outfitted with one of the 33 round stick mags
that's what i'm gonna leave in the mag well there uh and then i just have the standard 17 round here
up front of course you could uh you could go with the drum mags you could go with two stick mags
any magazine that'll work with your pistol will work with the mck it does have some vent
holes here on both sides that's just going to allow some of those gases and stuff to escape
one thing i will mention to you is that your gun is going to get super dirty trapped inside
of this thing as you're shooting so it may require cleaning a little bit more often but that's fine
i've run a lot of rounds through this thing and it functions just fine i haven't had any malfunctions
with this at all and if you did have a malfunction you can you can tap and rack the same way you
would with the handgun you're just going to use that charging handle instead one other difference
with the 2.0 versus the 1.0 is that it is a little taller here to accommodate suppressor
height sights and another thing that a lot of you guys are going to be really happy about is
that the 2.0 will accommodate a suppressed handgun so this whole front section here comes out
that barrel shroud comes out and that's going to accommodate any suppressor that you that will fit
on your handgun will work with this so the 2.0 is suppressor ready the 1.0 is not so why would
you want something like this why would you want to put your handgun into a package like this the main
thing is accuracy there's no doubt that having three points of contact is going to allow you
to be way more accurate way more consistent than two-handed shooting a handgun it also gives you
the option of putting any optic you want on the top up here which is really cool so your normal
effective range of a handgun is going to be what 25 yards possibly a little further than that
but it's hard to be super consistent at distances further than 25 yards with a handgun you slap
that bad boy into the mck you instantly extend that range out to possibly 200 yards depending
on the optic you choose to use and that kind of thing it really basically turns that pistol into
something very similar to an sbr type platform and it does it at a very very cheap price and
that's the number one reason that you should get an mck because of the price depending on
the model that you get the mck is going to run you somewhere between 200 and 300 dollars and that is
just amazing so i looked for a long time to try to come up with a good truck gun or backpack gun that
kind of thing but i looked at some obvious options building a really small ar pistol but that can get
pretty expensive i looked at things like the cz scorpion but also that's going to run you around
1200 bucks if you already have a pistol that'll fit into the mck two or three hundred bucks and
you're done you wanna add the accessory package that's gonna cost you probably another hundred
bucks but for 300 bucks if you assuming you already have the pistol that'll fit in there
for about 300 bucks you are getting a package that is that is pretty close to or equivalent to a 1200
dollar package and that is really hard to beat i can't think i mean the mck should fall into pretty
much anybody's budget that's one of the reasons this thing is so awesome it is made 100 in the usa
it is definitely one of the most cost effective pistol conversion kits on the market right now no
doubt about it so let's get this thing on the range and let's do a little shooting with it
all right that is the c-a-a-m-c-k i hope you like it guys uh i just can't think of any reason you
shouldn't get this especially a lot of us may have just an extra handgun laying around that we don't
shoot anymore you could easily slap it into this mck system and it's like having a brand new gun i
