CAA MCK platforms, more properly known as micro conversion kits, represent some of the most affordable and practical ways to overhaul your favorite handgun, converting into a rifle-style platform that is easier to handle and shoot.
This post will break down 11 of the best reasons to make the upgrade.
- You’ll shoot more accurately.
Probably the most significant material reason to upgrade your favorite handgun with a micro conversion kit is that you will be able to shoot more accurately. For better or worse, handguns are not accurate. They have short barrels, short sight radii, and can’t be shouldered, making it hard to steady the aim. With a stocked (or stabilized) CAA MCK, you will be able to extract much greater accuracy from your handgun.
- You’ll extend your effective range.
Following on the same path as greater accuracy, with a CAA MCK, you will be able to shoot farther and more accurately as well. Most shooters notice that they see a marked improvement not just in accuracy with an MCK, but in accuracy out to 100 yards and in some cases even at greater ranges.
- You’ll be able to expand the platform.
In addition to the fact that a CAA MCK will significantly improve your ability to shoot more accurately at any reasonable range, you will also be able to more effectively expand the platform thanks to the numerous mounting points with which MCKs are equipped. In addition to the potential for a Pic rail over the slide, there are other mounting points for a variety of CAA MCK accessories all over the chassis.
- You’ll be able to handle the gun more confidently.
Handguns are cumbersome, clunky, and difficult to handle. With an MCK, that will no longer be the case, as the grip will be improved, you will be able to get a second hand on the “forend” (or add another grip or thumb rests) and you will even be able to shoulder the platform, all of which makes no small difference.
- Ergonomics will be significantly improved.
On the same note, the expanded profile and footprint of the platform means that ergonomics will be much improved. It will be much more comfortable to handle the handgun when it has been upgraded with an MCK than it would have been otherwise.
- Recoil and muzzle flip will be mitigated.
The added mass of a CAA MCK micro conversion kit, paired with the fact that you can shoulder the platform, means that you will be much better able to tame recoil. In fact, due to the added static mass, it will automatically be lower out of the gate. Another positive effect of this is that muzzle flip will be reduced, making it easier for you to keep your sights trained on target for faster, more effective, more accurate follow up shots.
- No modifications are required to the handgun.
You have to make sure that you get an MCK that is compatible with your handgun, but assuming it is, no modifications are needed to configure the handgun with the chassis, either temporary or permanent.
- There are storage slots for spare mags.
Some CAA MCK micro conversion kits have slots forward on the bottom of the chassis where you can insert a spare magazine, which then will become sort of like a surrogate vertical grip. This expands your firepower as well.
- CAA MCK micro conversion kits are easy to clean and maintain.
CAA MCK platforms are remarkably easy to clean and maintain and don’t have a lot of complex or moving parts, streamlining maintenance. You really just need to make sure that you keep the muzzle shroud clean and free of excess fouling.
- There are many dedicated MCK accessories.
Right here on our website there are tons of dedicated CAA MCK accessories ranging from lights and lasers to optics, one point slings, thumb rests, extended charging handles, brass catchers and so much more, all of which make it easy and effortless to upgrade the functionality of your micro conversion kit
- They’re easy to use.
Lastly, it is easy to install a handgun into a CAA MCK. As stated, no modifications are needed, and basically all you do is open the door in the base, insert the handgun and slide it forward till it locks into place, then close the door and secure it. Zero will shift whenever you install and remove your handgun, so be aware of that, but otherwise that’s all there is to it.
