SHOT SHOW 2010 - EMA Tactical (ex-CAA) Glock Carbine Kit

[incorrigible]

Just a quick query one of you Glock lads may be able to answer. The left side of the Roni body just above where the pistol grip meets the slide appears to be raised to clear something that is not apparent in the Hera version.

Maybe the controls for the Glock 18 auto version? But then why not on the Hera? Maybe a percieved better access to the slide release?

I have neither the Hera, Roni or Glock but do tend to think about these things...

It looks like there would not be enough clearance to accomodate the G18 select fire switch on the EMA kit even with that large cut out. for sure the ambi-slide pull as shown here would not be compatible with the autoglock. So a special G18 slide pull would be required.

However,looking at how thick the left side of the slide pull, there is enough clearance
for the G18 switch. Hmmm if only we could get G18s

I believe the body is raised to clear the charging block (this snaps onto the rear of the Glock). I'm going to upload some photos a bit later from some different angles and I'll get some of the inside of the well by the grip.

It's wide enough, but you'd need a modified charging handle on the RONI since the charging block snaps right over where the fire selector would be on a Glock 18. And on both the RONI and GCC, there's no way to access the fire control switch (since this would reside behind the polymer body on both models.

The Hera GCC is wide enough (inside) to accommodate the Glock 18 slide/select fire switch (the slide 'free floats' within the GCC as the Glock is only connected to the GCC through the lower frame). In the Spike's video I suspect they preselected semi or auto before installing the Glock in the GCC.

Looking forward towards the barrel shroud.


Looking aft towards the sliding stock. You can see the cutout for the charging handle on the lower portion.


The front of the RONI with the adjustable barrel shroud.

Front bottom view of the charging handle. It's a bit dark, but if you look closely you can see the vertical grooves
on the inside which match the grooves on the Glock slide.

blaxsun, Just wanted to say thank you for all the legwork you are doing
here and all the information you are sharing. I know I will defiantly be
referring back to your notes when my system arrives. Happy shooting.

Hey, you're more than welcome. Glad I could give everyone a bit of a sneak peek and look 'under the hood'.

Yes thank you
Now i wish i knew when mine will arrive

WELL,
SO FAR,
IN THEORY
I still like my KPOS Glock conversion better than the RONI or the HERA.
I like the ease of swapping back and forth between pistol configuration and ??? carbine??? with the KPOS.
I like the smaller, more compact profile with the side folder,
but then I've always preferred side folders over sliders on my shorties.
However,
the RONI does have one very interesting feature that would be invaluable on a real life field gun ....
that sort of trigger block/safety? mechanism.

A Glock, in a proper holster that blocks the trigger guard, is about as safe as it gets.

But a Glock mounted in carbine conversion kit, dangling from a sling,
is a bit scarier than I personally would want to field.

SO RONI WINS BIG POINTS WITH ME FOR CONSIDERING SAFETY AS A PRIORITY!!!

Other than that,
have you managed any range time yet with these carbine conversion units?

I've posted my range experiences with the KPOS,
comparing it to some other CQB options
@ http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum...=435633&page=3
postings 21, 22, & 25.

I am still trying to figure out if the KPOS is my new short range three gun match solution,
or whether to stick with my 10.5" LMT AR 15,
or whether to build a [GROSSLY expensive ] LW Glock magazine fed AR shorty in 9mm or .357 SIG.
But at least, I am having fun playing around.
It is nice to have choices

Yes, the safety feature is an interesting addition on the RONI (one I believe wasn't present on the original pre-production model). I just got the RONI yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to put in range time with either (I've been busy with pre-Spring cleaning, selling off a few guns and otherwise reducing the amount of equipment I have). Choice is always great!

This looks awesome... Can't wait to try one out!! Thanks for the great pics...
