With my Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm as a lower:

Looks good... I am seriously debating getting one for my glock 20.. Will have to decide between that and the ar15 I'm working on for a beater/truck gun.

Oh gawd, I finally made it to the range to fire my Mechtech, and I'm STILL sporting wood. I ran about 5 different manufacturers 10mm 1911 magazines through for reliability testing. Not one failure to feed or fire. This was from about 25 yards away. (Way too windy to test from further away., plus I wanted to see how it grouped) Not bad, not bad at all. Them darned zombies better never come to my house!

Only one thing strange, it kind of feels like something going boingboingboing. But with the tight group., I'm betting it's the collapsable stock doing it, not the barrel.

OUTSTANDING GDog, outstanding

I love my MG20
But I really wish MechTech would look at building a CCU for the Large Frame Witness too
With all the available calibers you can run thru the LF Witness, it only make sence

Well, they ARE expanding. It used to be only 1911's and Glocks. Now they will also make them for Springfield XD(/M)'s (Just not sub-compact models)

I read somewhere that there "was / is / was to be" a CCU for the Beretta 92 and Browning HP too
Not sure if that is true or someones pipe-dream
Not sure WHY the XD is their next evolution
You'd think maybe for SIG , say for the 226 Frame in 9mm, 357 SIG and 40 cal
I do know I'd like to visit their factory one day

Problem if they made it for my SIG P299. Would need two barrels, one for .40 cal, and one for 357 SIG. (Which isn't even a Mechtech option yet!)

Hickok45 just posted a video on YouTube, looks fun! http://youtu.be/mwC4M_VInSA he mentioned he wanted to get a 10mm setup.

gandog56 · March 08 2015 10:05:29 AM MDT

He does point out my one fault I don't like. The bolt does not lock back after the last round is fired. Unless I was seriously counting shots, I was pulling trigger on empty mags a lot.

But man, they are fun......and ACCURATE! Like I said, I fired I don't know how many rounds of different ammo and different manufacturer's mags, and not one failure to anything!

Still, it costs like a whole new 10mm Pistol to do it, and you need one that will fit it. Would have been a lot cheaper if I didn't have to have the fold down front and rear sights and the QD optics.

One thing I found was that when cleaning the CCU, the Bolt could release and give you a good bite
So I made a couple of Bolt Safeties to hold the Bolt in the open position
Mine is a Glock, so the 1911s may be a bit different
Use this one with the Lower in place:

This one with the Lower removed:

Hope this helps some of you ${$default_cool_smiley}$

I feel your pain my friend

I'll be honest - I got tired of breaking my Hunter down to use the lower on the M-T - so I got another lower (G20sf Gen 3 ) and I thought I'ed build a long slide for it when its not on the M-T and than came along the G40 and now I'm in a quandry about what I'm going to do, the G40 pricing is rumored to be $650 to $750, it would be cheaper to build a long slide from LW and have milled for an aimpoint if I go that direction. What to do What to do $:-\$
