I'm tempted to get one for my Glock G-20 10mm, but don't know anything about them. Thought I'd start a check here first. Prices start a little over $400 and I'd like a 10mm carbine. I currently have a KelTec Sub2000 in .40 S&W and it's fun to shoot. It gains about 200 fps over a G-22 pistol. Based on that, the MecTech should give 180 gr. medium 10mm handloads about 1350 fps, a respectable load.

I found a local guy with a 45ACP upper and it was sloppy, poorly finished and rattled like a bag diamondbacks. Jam-o-matic. Not impressed.

I eventually bought a Sub2000, a Ruger PCC 9mm and an AR9. All were better guns and a better value.

The Ruger was the clear stand out. Best trigger, better construction and great iron sights and an excellent rail for a scope. Now they have a pistol version that I'd love to get my mitts on.

Roni Chasis is EXCELLENT.

Get that instead.

I was actually skeptical of them at first, but when I was in Dallas a friend who owns a gun shop had me pick one up for him from someone who was selling there. The thing is great.

I shot a glock 18 in it. It's as nice shooting as an mp5.

They have a brace version that is ok. Slightly awkward but it works. The newer micro feels very ergonomic. Of you don't mind making an sbr I'd get the micro.
