Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my Glock into a sub-gun?

You can convert a Glock pistol into a sub-gun configuration using an aftermarket chassis system like the MX1. This involves securely mounting the Glock into the chassis, which typically adds a stock and allows for the attachment of longer barrels and suppressors, significantly enhancing its shooting capabilities.

What are the benefits of using the MX1 chassis with a Glock?

The MX1 chassis enhances a Glock pistol by providing a folding stock for stability and compact storage, allowing for faster and more accurate shooting at extended distances (up to 100 yards). It also facilitates the use of suppressors and longer barrels, improving the overall shooting experience and suitability for home defense.

Is it difficult to install a suppressor on a Glock with the MX1 chassis?

Installing a suppressor requires a Glock with a compatible threaded barrel, such as the 9-inch threaded barrel shown. The process involves carefully threading the suppressor onto the barrel after the Glock is secured in the MX1 chassis, ensuring proper alignment to avoid cross-threading.

What accessories are recommended for the MX1 chassis setup?

Recommended accessories include a 9-inch threaded barrel for suppressor compatibility, a 9mm suppressor like the Rugged Obsidian 9 for reduced sound and recoil, and a red dot optic such as the Holosun 510C for improved target acquisition. A single-point sling is also useful for carry.
