Kalshnikov USA KP-9, a nostalgic "Commie" plinker?

[Hieronymous]

Does anyone have one of these yet? Thoughts? Impressions? I ordered one with the SB Tactical Folding Brace. Why? Makes me think...."Krinkov", and should be a good range toy, and one my wife should be comfortable with. I should probably spend my cash on a suppressor for the Rattler, but this one made me smile!

I really, really want one. The only thing making me hold off are the proprietary magazine, but really that's just the excuse I'm telling myself so I don't spend ~$1500 on a range toy + optic + mags etc.

They are cool, and I got to handle one last summer.
But, it's basically the same as my Skorpion Evo, being a straight blowback gun.

Similar situation here. I own an AR-9 that is fun but rarely shoot it.

If the proprietary magazine is the only stumbling block, you might give a look at the Palmetto State Armory AK-V. The AK-V feeds from either PSA AK-V mags ($16 ea, at last check) *or* Skorpion mags.

Not sure who's was first on the market, but K-USA and PSA are very similar. Neither is an exact Vityaz clone, for those concerned about such things.

That's pretty much the end of my knowledge. I do not know what the PF cognoscenti thinks of either of these guns

Cheers!

Thankfully, PSA's been really good about being Out-of-Stock on any of the variants I'd want, otherwise I might be in trouble late some evening after a second pour of bourbon. I'm trying to limit those indiscretions to late-night Gunbroker bidding on vintage wheelguns. :)

PSA uses same mags as the Scorpion. The only "issue" I found is the PSA version does fall out of the Scorpion as freely as the CZ mags do, when empty.

Sent from my SM-G970U using TapatalkTechnically yes but I've never used them. To be honest I always thought Magpul was/has been mostly overated. Very 2002 AR. I have their AR mags and they've all been good but I don't go out of my way trying to get anything else

Do either the PSA or KUSA feed JHP? Just a guess but I'd say the original Russian SMG is spec'ed for FMJ. If the KUSA is authentic in general design it may need some chamfer work to feed defensive ammo.
