Editor’s Note:

Kalashnikov USA’s KP-9 is the civilian version of the Russian Vityaz submachine gun. These easy-to-operate AK-style pistols use a direct-blowback operating system and are chambered in 9mm. A 9.25-inch barrel keeps things handy, and 30-round magazines give you plenty of capacity. Other features include a hinged top cover with a Picatinny rail and feed ramps designed to accommodate hollow point bullets.

By The Numbers - KUSA KP-9

Accuracy
Again, it performed amazingly at the range! We shot during the day and at night and hit targets, no prob.
Reliability
We had absolutely no issues during testing. The KP-9 ran and ran well.
Customization
AKs aren’t quite the Legos that ARs are, but there’s enough here to keep you happy without a million add-ons.
Ergonomics
This thing feels good to shoot. Whether it’s the 9mm AK-pistol design or how Kalash designed this thing, it handles well.

Century Arms AP5

$0.00

A legit clone of the H&K Mp5, with HK machinery to HK specs. The Century Arms AP5 is a great alternative without the super high price tag. Finishing isn’t as nice as the HK but this gun runs with very minimal blowback.

“If you’re a PCC fan, you gotta check out the B&T APC9 Pro.  This gun is well made and fun to shoot. While we preferred the ergonomics of the Sig MPX, the APC9 has it’s perks such as low recoil and very accurate. The APC9K Pro is slightly more compact than the APC9 Pro.” – John C.

final verdict

“All in all, I had a total blast with the KUSA KP-9 – few complaints here. But I dig AKs, Russian stuff, and PCCs. So, achieving that plinking factor in a gun that combines all those things ticks a lot of boxes for me. If any of the above applies to you, I’d give the KP-9 a shot. It’s not going to be for everyone, but if you’re also afflicted by whatever specific niche of nerd gun enthusiasm I have, there’s a lot to dig here.” – John Currie
