I secured a model to fit the Glock 19, as it has been Glock’s biggest-selling model since its introduction and one of the best-selling pistols in this country, period. However, currently the Micro RONI Stabilizer is only available for the Glock 17 (22, 31) and Glock 19 (23, 32).
The original RONI models were designed for Glock pistols, but currently CAA makes the full-size RONI (with stock or arm brace) for a number of different pistols, including models from Beretta, CZ, HK, SIG, and Springfield, among others. The only physical difference between the Micro RONI and Micro RONI Stabilizer is the latter replaces the folding stock with a folding arm brace. As the Micro RONI Stabilizer comes with a stabilizing arm brace instead of a stock, attaching it to your pistol is perfectly legal, and your pistol remains a pistol.
The only physical difference between the Micro RONI (as seen here) and the Micro RONI Stabilizer is the stock on the former and the arm brace on the latter.Īs I mentioned before, the RONIs are polymer shells that accept pistols and are designed to provide added utility. My mouth keeps wanting to say “macaroni” instead of Micro RONI, but I fight it every time because I know where the name comes from-the designer named it the RONI after his daughter, and you don’t mess with somebody’s kid. Luckily, my editor asked me to review the Micro RONI Stabilizer, and I say “luckily” because my eyes have been opened to not just this product, but its potential.įirst, let’s look at what the Micro RONI is before we address what it can do. For all my love of faux-SBR AR-15s with arm braces, for some reason the RONIs with brace just didn’t attract my attention, maybe because in photos I thought they looked a bit clunky, or maybe my brain was still stuck in its initial “not interested in RONI” gear. Subsequently, CAA introduced a slimmer version of the RONI called the Micro RONI, and then versions of the full-size and Micro RONI that replaced the stock with a stabilizing arm brace. The Micro RONI is smaller and lighter, and the Micro RONI Stabilizer does not require registering your Glock as an SBR. Tarr shooting an original full-size RONI in 2010, not long after they were introduced. Second, the RONI, at nearly $400 at the time (if I remember correctly), was nearly the cost of a pistol. The NFA is completely and totally un-Constitutional, and I hate doing anything that legitimizes it, such as jumping through extra legal hoops and paying more money for something for which I shouldn’t have to. Actually, the ATF has ruled that merely possessing a RONI and a pistol that fits inside it constitutes an SBR. First, the RONI required you to register your pistol as an SBR (short-barreled rifle)-after all, you’re putting a stock on a pistol, which under current federal law is illegal without additional unConstitutional paperwork infringements. However, after my initial peek at the product, I lost interest for a couple of reasons. The shell had a stock so you could shoulder your pistol like a rifle, and a rail on the top so you could mount iron sights or an optic. The RONI was a big polymer shell into which you inserted your Glock (now other pistols as well). I’m not sure where I was when I first saw the original RONI carbine conversion kit from Command Arms Accessories (CAA)-perhaps the SHOT Show’s Media Day at the Range-but it was different enough that I remember stopping and investigating ().
