Let’s just be honest. There are some micro conversion kit accessories that are more flash than function.
Really, how many times are you actually going to need a glass breaker? Or a bipod? Who’s really shooting these things at those ranges?
There is a use case, but the niche market for those things is probably fairly small.
For the rest of us, there are the following 8 micro conversion kit accessories that, while they might not be exciting, are all about practicality.
One Point Sling
With a two point sling, the name of the game is transportation. These slings are good for hunters and other sportsmen.
With a one point sling, it’s all about weapon retention. If you use your MCK defensively and ever need to draw a sidearm (odd, right?) then you’ll be glad you outfitted the MCK with a one-point sling.
You can just drop it and draw, without fear of losing the main platform.
Brass Catcher
Do you ever shoot at a range that has stringent “leave no brass behind” requirements? Or do you shoot at a range that makes you clean up after yourself?
Or perhaps you reload your brass?
In any of these cases, an MCK brass catcher offers some pretty big selling points.
For one, if you pay for range time, why would you want to waste it chasing brass around and cleaning it up?
And for another, it’ll save your back. Not to mention, for reloaders, a brass catcher will keep your brass cleaner and in better shape.
Side Adapter Flashlight
A WML is not a “nice to have.” It’s a “need to have.” You know the old saying: what you can’t see can kill you.
Well, that aside, and aside from the fact that having a weapon-mounted light will give you a decided advantage in the dark, these side-attach flashlights keep the top of your platform open for optics and also can be easily detached.
Why is that a selling point, you might ask? Well, because you might not want to muzzle everything you want to illuminate! You can detach these and use them for general utility.
Thumb Rests
Thumb rests do exactly what they sound like they suggest and not a thing more, which is not particularly exciting, but hey, you need to be able to control your platform, right?
Basically, they attach to the side Pic rails of your MCK and offer better handling, control and ergonomics by giving your thumbs a place to rest - hence the name.
And that’s about it, but that’s a big deal, and at least they won’t break the bank. They’re among the most affordable micro conversion kit accessories we sell, period.
MCK Handle Grip Kit
These basic micro conversion kit accessories are an add-on in the form of an enhanced rubber grip that can be installed in ten minutes, give or take.
These handle grip kits offer far superior ergonomics and better handling, control, and comfort than the “naked” MCK platform.
In concert with the MCK thumb rests mentioned above, these represent an excellent upgrade.
An Extended Charging Handle
While micro conversion kits are great for numerous reasons - including the fact that they require no modifications to the handgun - they’re not the best for manual cycling.
That doesn’t mean you’re without help, though, at least while there are MCK accessories like these extended charging handles.
They offer far superior ergonomics and better manual purchase when you need to rack the slide to charge the gun or clear a jam.
There’s one catch - they’re only for select Glock pistols, though they can be mounted on the left or right side of the platform, at your choice.
Crimson Trace CAA MCK Red Dot Sight
This is probably the best micro conversion kit accessory that will be mentioned here. It offers a lot of value.
This 4-MOA red dot sight has 14 illumination settings and a green dot setting, which is better in bright light conditions. It boasts 1.3 years of battery life and features a closed emitted design that is drop, shock, fog, dust, impact and recoil resistant.
And on top of that it offers fast target acquisition and rapid, accurate shooting at close and intermediate ranges.
Folding Back Up Sights
Two is one and one is none. That’s the only justification we need for these folding back up iron sights as a necessary micro conversion kit accessory. Maybe 1.3 years of battery life is good, but how’s unlimited sound?
