    Adapting the Roni Micro Stabilizer for Suppressor

    I have a 2nd generation Micro Roni Stabilizer, but since I acquired suppressors, I really didn’t want to shoot without one.

    Some options included removing the Flash Hider and using a Dremel to cut the frame. That is something I wasn’t comfortable doing.

    I saw a video on YouTube, by Solscud, and I wanted to keep it as a pistol.

    So I ordered a 10” barrel By IGB out of YRS Inc. I acquired my Gen 3 Glock 19 for free apart from the Humpty Dumpty Glock Story.

    I took the brace off and slid the Glock right into it.



    First thing I did was remove my suppressor sights so I could use them for something else.



    Then I polished the feedramp in the barrel.

    For the Micro Roni Stabilizer , it requires removal of the brace to fit the Glock into it.

    If you get a 16” barrel, you have to take the whole Roni apart by removing the rail and opening the clamshell to push a long barrel from one end.

    For the 10”, the Glock will fit right into after removal of the brace. The brace is secured by two screws, and a plastic pin. Under the securing latch, there is a button and a detent spring.

    I’m going to shoot it Suppressed today.

    Before this, I considered a Ruger PC Carbine 9 mm, Keltec Sub 2000, AR 9 mm. But I already had a spare Glock and the Roni. The spare Glock was free (See Humpty Dumpty Glock thread). I have had the Micro Roni for a while.

    The barrel was $187, shipped.

    As for how it will run, I saw this video by someone else today...Glock 17 10” Barrel Suppressed:

    Someone mentioned that there were shorter barrels available in 6” so that is an option. I know IGB has a 7.5” option. You need a longer barrel to clear the flash hider in front of the Roni.

    That's really cool, let us know how it goes. Once I've transitioned from my glocks for defensive use I may do something similar for a fun range toy.

    I had this Stabilizer and I stopped using it after I acquired suppressors.

    I couldn’t for the life of me, figure out how to make it adapt for a suppressor.

    I’ve seen people cut the front frame with a Dremel and remove the flash hider. Not something I wanted to do. Though I’m not one to resell things to begin with.

    Then I had an Aha! Moment when someone suggested using a longer barrel. There were 16”, 10”, 7.”5 options. Recently someone mentioned a 6” option.

    However, looking at ballistics by the inch, I saw a distinct advantage of ballistics from 10” and above.

    So I opted for a 10” barrel. I also have 3 Glock 19 pistols. My third was free to me, so I had nothing to lose apart from getting the barrel.

    Watching a video by Solscud, I saw he was able to adapt a Roni for a 16” barrel. I figured a 10” would be easier. Plus for maintenance it is easier to perform an uninstall to clean it.

    The other shell is a Kidon Pistol Carbine Conversion. With a fixed stock you need NFA appproval but they have a conversion without a stock, that can be used with a stabilizer.

    The Roni this season is only $200. The Kidon is $500. A barrel runs $150 to $350. Your Glock will run $450-$550. A cheap red dot is $100. Obviously the suppressor is going to be expensive, but if you have one already it’s a no brainer.

    In summary, I tried different brands of ammo, but the Roni as it stood, was not working with the suppressor. It was OK without a can. I was getting FTE. From posts on AR15 dot com, they suggested I cut the Concussion Device.





    You see the rub point on the dorsal barrel margin.



    I took off the excess steel, but questions were raised if the barrel would still contact the concussion device.




    It was not pretty, either.



    I mounted it onto my Bench vise and I let the dremel have its way. Because of the protruding end of the Concussion device I was just going to cut it first, then trim the edges.





    I sanded and polished the near finished piece.





    The daunting task of reassembly was intimidating.



    Because the rail screws did not loosen I did not bother removing them.

    I placed the detent spring of the rail release and pushed the parts together, and I hammered with a plastic mallet.





    The rest was easy



    I now have clearance for the barrel.
