Small Gun - Big Gun

The Israeli company CAA Tactical is a manufacturer of arms accessories. They make grips, stocks, magazines and a few years back, they launched their RONI product. This is a carbine frame which fits around a normal 9mm pistol, converting it from a side arm to a primary weapon in 5 seconds.

As you can see from the example above, a ambidextrous charging handle fits on the tail of the pistol slide, which is then clamped into the two halves of the RONI.

The manufacturer claims the RONI improves the accuracy of the pistol by reducing its recoil and muzzle jump, whilst weighing less than a 9mm sub-machine gun. For example, with a Glock inside it, the RONI weighs 30% less than an MP5.

The extra real estate and rail space of the RONI solution means that its easy to add sights, tactical lights and even a spare magazine on the stock.

Since its inception, CAA have produced a RONI variant for nearly all the well known "real steel" pistols.

Recently, they formed an Airsoft division of their company and sell the Airsoft version of the RONI.

At the time of writing, Hong Kong based Tiger 111 HK were offering a TM and WE SIG226 compatible version at a special offer price of USD 84
