Colion Noir — known for straight-talk, range-tested reviews and practical observations — recently put the Meta Tactical MX1 through its paces. His take? What looks like a slick chassis on Instagram actually works on the range. In this review he covers fitment, ergonomics, shooting performance and real-world tradeoffs for the MX1 Glock Conversion Kit.
Colion calls the MX1 Glock Conversion Kit a drop in chassis for Glocks — not just one model, but “almost all of them.” He demonstrates how quick the swap is: no gunsmithing, no tools, just slide the pistol in and click. Adapters are available for compact/slim slides, keeping this chassis useful across multiple pistols — great if you rotate Glocks or want one chassis to serve several roles.
On the range the MX1 stopped being a curiosity and started being practical. Colion noticed faster, more confident follow-ups — not a viral internet claim, but real repeatable improvement: the sights come back on target and you press the next trigger with less pause. The full-length aluminum rail lets you mount proper optics that contribute to a steadier sight picture. Recoil tracks as a straight push into the shoulder instead of a snap-up, so follow-ups feel more consistent.
The MX1 is built with practical hardware: an aluminum top rail, metal reinforcements in key areas, optional aluminum stock/brace, M-LOK slots, flip-up sights and a snap-in spare mag carrier. Run it bare for a minimalist setup, or kit it out as a compact SPR-style 9mm rig. Colion praises the ergonomics — thumb rest, brace lockup, and overall hand/shoulder fit feel intentional, not just CAD prettiness.
Colion went in skeptical and came out impressed. For roughly $300 the Meta Tactical MX1 transforms a carry Glock into a confident, optic-ready platform without permanent modification. It keeps the identity of your carry pistol while adding on-demand compatibility — a practical compromise between a dedicated PDW and everyday carry.
