    Default Anybody want to talk me out of this?

    I am thinking of SBR'ing one of my boring old glocks into a fun range toy/Home defense weapon.

    This kit (KPOS G2) is machined aluminum, has an AR style charging handle, and appears to lock the Glock in very snug.

    This kit (RONI II) is made from polymer, and does not appear to lock the Glock in as firmly, but I like the adjustable buttstock and the overall look.

    This setup lets you replace the upper with a carbine upper with 16" barrel, letting you avoid the SBR paperwork. Never tried it, but it's another option to look at.

    If you want a range toy, go for it.

    For me, if I am going to shoulder a firearm in a HD situation, I would not take this over a real rifle. I would rather spend the 200 bucks on the tax stamp to SBR an AR lower, or at least a Draco AK, and have a useful firearm.

    Why not just put a stock on it, without jamming it into a chunk of extra plastic?

    EDIT: yea i reed gud, aluminum isn't much better, IMO.

    Rails, man! Rails!

    Seriously though, you can mount an optic on these things, whereas if you just attach a stock you still have to use the sights.

    ETA: Don't get me wrong, I think these conversions are all a little silly. I'm just saying there are some things about them that are kinda cool.

    They have one at Precision Armament Werks in Franklin. I've handled it. It's neat, but not what I'm looking for.

    I had my wife in mind for the HD scenario. I'm not comfy with her using a handgun other than a revolver for HD, and she's not comfortable with the trigger pull of a DA revolver. I want something she will put in her shoulder and have to look down the sights before fireing.

    The kits in the videos have rails all around. If this thing is going to be the go to HD weapon for my wife, I want all the bells and whistles IE holosight, light, laser, forward grip. Also, the charging handle aspect makes me feel better than her trying to work the slide on an auto.

    I may not reach for this first in an HD situation, but I think it would be good for the Mrs. For me, this would be a fun range toy.
