FAQ For:Apex Carbine Conversion Kit for Glock 19 Gen 3-5, 19X and 45

Do you offer Dealer/Wholesale pricing?

Currently, we will offer kits that are compatible with Glock, S&W, and P80. This includes most make, models, and generations. Calibers to include 9mm, 10mm, .40, and .45. Future kits will be available for SIG Sauer and Springfield. If you don’t see your gun when ordering, please reach out to us on our contact us page and we can either confirm compatibility, anticipated manufacture timeline or provide more information.

Most handguns will require a specific chassis and 16” barrel engineered for that model, make, etc.

The kit includes the chassis and 16” drop-in replacement barrel.

The MX1 is equipped with integrated M-LOK slots positioned around the entire chassis allowing you to customize your setup with accessories such as optics, foregrips, lights, and more.

Yes, there is a thumb safety.

The overall length with a fully extended stock is 26” and 23.375” in the collapsed position. The weight is right around 3.25 lbs depending on the model and barrel combination.

Precision machined 16” Chromoly full drop-in barrel replacement with a black nitride finish. Polygonal rifling.

The threading on the 16” drop-in barrel is a proprietary thread and won’t accept aftermarket products including a suppressor. The added weight of a suppressor or potentially a different compensator will negatively affect the accuracy of the platform.

Yes, the kit is compatible with custom slide cuts and aftermarket slides.

Yes, as long as your magazine has the LRBHO feature on the follower.

Yes, the ejection port is ambidextrous due to our shell deflector.

Our CCK trigger linkage mechanism will retain the trigger pull and break weights of the trigger you have installed as well as retain your trigger’s reset. The trigger pull distance may be increased by a few hundredths of an inch (especially on flat-faced triggers), however, your reset will remain the same. The only difference is that our trigger linkage mechanism is providing a flat trigger pull as it is guided straight back, removing any ”curve” you may be used to in other firearm triggers.

Yes, we will offer our brave women and men of the military, LE, and First Responders a discount. Please fill out our first responders form to qualify.

Great platform. Better than expected. Takes 30 secs to swap. Has really good accuracy for a "pistol". Not having stock picatinny rails is annoying, but a cheap (desirable) mod. Also, installing the rails requires nuts that you have to hold your tongue just right to work. One downside is the trigger, the Glock 19 already isn't great and it just compounds it. But from an engineering perspective, it's as good as you're going to get.

Fun fun. I was wanting a carbine style weapon in a handgun round and that's what I got. I really think adding structurly something to hold barrel would help with feel and possibly accuracy.

    It is a nice idea but am I missing a part that should keep the barrel from moving side to side??

    The conversion ran great and function perfectly but the mussel that came with it was shaving the bullets and shrapnel was Is lodged into my hand

    Was planing on using this as a ride along replacement for an unmentioned firearm that Biden’s admin isn’t very fond of, but goupings beyond 40 yds were between 6-8″ and my gun club wouldn’t allow me to train on the run N gun course. Very easy to shoot. Cycled 115 and 124 grain with no problems
