FAQ For:Apex Carbine Conversion Kit for Glock 21 (Gen 3-4 and SF)

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.

Excellent engineering and ergonomics. Two parts on this conversion kit that could be improved would be the expandable/collapsible stock & charging handle. The stock feature for me, requires two hands to extend & collapse, while I believe that it should only take a easy one hand operation. Charging handle works good, but a larger, oversize charging handle would be better.

    This is a solidly well-made piece of engineering design and production; I am very impressed. Have not had out to the range yet, but I can tell you that I am 10/10 excited about this as a viable option for the Glock 21 platform, and, as a platform for the many other handguns that META Tactical supports with their products. Extremely functional, extremely well-thought out, designed and created, and it gets a solid A+++ from my end.

    Pretty cool with 45acp. Reaches out with substantial power, makes a tempting tandem to keep handy either in my vehicle or at home

  5. M

    Fairly easy to use and set up. Fired 200 rounds so far and no issues aside from user error. Safety is a great addition, just have to remember when it’s engaged.
