Best Glock Conversion Kits
Before we dive in, it’s worth mentioning that you have to be really careful with conversion kits.
Many of these can turn your handgun into a Short-Barreled Rifle or Any Other Weapon. This means you need to register the thing if you want to avoid giving the ATF a reason to kick down your doors.
As always, do your research on any conversion kit on the market and the applicable laws before purchasing/putting your handgun in it.
1. CAA Micro Roni Conversion Kit
If you’re looking for a conversion kit that’s easy to assemble with no tools – grab a drop-in style kit such as the CAA Micro Roni.
This kit allows you to insert your Glock in a matter of seconds, making for a very quick and seamless transition.
Once you have your Glock converted, you’ve now drastically improved accuracy out to 200-yards.
Want to add a red dot, flashlight, or other accessories? Thanks to both its side and top Picatinny rails, there’s plenty of space to do that here.
The CAA Micro Roni is ambidextrous, meaning that you can easily use it regardless of whether you’re a righty or lefty.
For ease of one-handed use, this kit comes with an arm brace stabilizer and a Velcro strap. It also easily folds out of the way when not in use.
And, with the addition of a front spare magazine holder, you’ll always have ready access to another mag for seamless reloading.
The CAA Micro Roni gives you a lot of leeways when it comes to universality as well.
Whether you have a Glock 17, 19, 19X, 22, 23, 25, 31, 32, or 45, all of them will work within this design.

We did a head-to-head review of the Micro Roni vs. the Recover Tactical 20/20. Check out the results here.
2. Recover Tactical 20/20
Looking for something super lightweight but still gets the job done?
You can’t go wrong with the Recover Tactical 20/20 conversion kit that we tested head to head vs the Roni earlier.
The 20/20 requires the use of an Allen key but besides that you’re good to go.
Plus it has just enough rails for the average user (you can add them to both sides if needed).
It’s also easy to put on a suppressor compared to the Roni since the barrel is exposed.
Love more accessories? There’s also a sling setup and holster even.

3. CAA MCK Micro Conversion Kit
By now, you probably recognize the fact that CAA is one of the chief players within the conversion kit market.
While the micro conversion kit is very similar in look to the Micro Roni, its main difference is that it’s capable of shrouding the Glock 20 and 21 Gen 3.
As is the case with virtually all other CAA products, this kit is a drop-in style. It offers an ambidextrous design with a folding arm brace. And it comes with a built-in front spare magazine holder.
CAA claims this improves your accuracy out to 200-yards.
In short, it’s an awesome kit for a great price. And one you may want to consider if you use a model of Glock that a lot of other kits out there won’t accommodate.

4. FAB Defense KPOS Scout
Another major player within the conversion kit world is FAB Defense. It can be a bit harder to find their products out in the marketplace, but if you look long enough, you’ll find them.
Chief among their designs for the Glock is the KPOS Scout.
This thing packs up into a teeny little package and seems to be akin to an envelope — everything on it folds up! You have a folding foregrip, folding stock, and flip-up sights.
It can accommodate a wide variety of ported Glock models, such as the Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 31, and 32.
For ease of long-term carry, it comes with a one-point tactical sling as well.
Like most conversion kits on the market, this contains a Picatinny rail upper for various attachments.
You will need to register this as an SBR with the ATF if you want to remain legal, though.

5. FAB Defense KPOS G2 PDW
Another conversion kit that will transform your handgun into an SBR, the G2 PDW, has a host of options available to it for customization.
Depending on the variant you purchase, you can use a Glock 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, or 34! There are some foldable stock options you can select for this weapon as well. So it’s very easy to move about.
It comes with a removable flash hider if you want to add on a suppressor and offers a built-in AR-15 style charging mechanism (ambidextrous, of course).
Even better, it requires no tools or handgun modifications to use either.

Conclusion
A conversion kit truly gives you a wide range of options when it comes to your Glock. Not to mention, it gives you quite an edge when it comes to long-range work with your pistol.
