Chiappa RAK-9 Review: Best Budget AK PCC?
Join us as we take the Chiappa RAK-9 to the range to see how it performs, what kind of quirks it has, and what you can do to make it better.
Travis Pike is a lifelong shooter who just happened to be mediocre enough with a gun and a keyboard to combine the two and write. He currently teaches concealed carry courses and enjoys spending time on Florida’s Nature Coast. He is interested in helping folks protect themselves with firearms and shoot better at the range.
