MechTech G20 Conversion / Trigger Affect

Quick note out to those who own the MechTech Glock upper conversion unit; Did you find anything anomalous relative to your trigger movement and pull/release weight?

the pull / release weight stayed the same but it did move the reset with my fulcrum trigger.

I just "discovered" the Mech Tech today.

Is there any difference in the reliability of a Glock and one converted with this kit? Reliable enough for HD?

Any other updates would be appreciated.

Also, would this be legal in TX?

Coming back to you here G-Nineteen;
Mechanically and functionally, it operates like your familiar Glocks. With the lower receiver/frame corrected attached to the carbine upper, it locks on with a click that is tight with zero slop anywhere. On my G20 / 10mm, the only observation in that category I've noted is the feel of the trigger is a smidge heavier than my Glock (with a 3.5lb connector). I'm really a fan of the concept of this accessory, it's a terrific "accessory" for any Glock owner interested in a Glock carbine.
As to your reliability question, frankly I've too few rounds through mine to report anything definitively as I got it a little more than a month ago. Time of year has made it difficult to get out and shoot it much, so I've not many rounds through it as of yet. That being said, hasn't stumbled once...

Legality in TX? Can't imagine why it wouldn't...here in Kaliforistan, semi-auto carbines must be equipped with the PITA bullet-button type mag release.

Most under rated cartridge out there.




"10mm ammo" find this page on Facebook

I agree.......after watching your entire series of 10MM speeds and the Mech Tech Videos I am now an owner of a Mech Tech 10MM CCU.!

Wow, this thing is quality and the barrel appears incredibably strong. I haven't shot it yet, working tonight on the Bullet Button. (stupid Kalifornistan). Since I already own 5 Glocks in 10MM including my Longslide I have plenty of FRAMES. Including 3 G21s if need be. I'am going to install an old MILLET red-dot that I had on a 9X25 GLOCK a while back. It's cheap but worked fine for my eyes.

For you Kalifornia people, I am considering going 'featureless' so I can use my normal capacity (called High Capacity by the State) magazines. Otherwise I am restricted to 10 round mags with the bullet button.

This would require I install a 'wall' behind the grip so it's not a pistol grip anymore. Just thinking about it, nothing firmed up yet.

Be well............Bob

ModGlock....I ordered it 12-30-12....just before New Years. They hit my credit card on 1-7-13......it arrived today, 3-5-13. So about 2 months for the wait. I understand they are so busy they are not taking back-orders now.

Just like Starline Brass...nothing in stock and no backorders.

Be well..............Bob

It arrived and I will be taking her out to the High Desert later for a Range Test.

I must say the quality is very good on this conversion unit.

Nick, we've got to get one!

There are guys in my area who'd pay $600 for a Kel Tec Sub2000 which I plan to sell. That'll pay for a CCU.

Need to look into a folding stock.

I didn't want one under the old ATF letter, but the newest interpretation allows the pistol to be assembled again and used as a pistol without running afoul of the law. Mucho better since you don't have to dedicate a frame to it. Now if primers weren't in such short supply picking one up would be a no-brainer.

Oceanbob, please give us a report on what you are feeding it, or feeding experiments you may have

I am thinking, based on what they recommend at their site, that I may need to try exclusively reloads above 750ft-lbs, perhaps those with Magnum primers. By definition, this means no plated bullets.

Also, hard casts may create too much of a clean up job, that it is not worth trying.

I've just discovered this thing within the last few days and it's bothering me because I don't have one. I have this sweet EOTech sight that's just sitting on the shelf right now and that's just wrong...

MechTech Owners should have at least a couple of these:
