[SHOT 2016] Kalashnicohen .45 ACP AK pistol
Jerimiah Cohen was displaying his production ready .45 ACP Kalashnikov pistol at SHOT, in the KG Industries booth on the upper level. KG coatings is a company that makes a number of firearm coatings and has been around since the 1960s, when the SEALs were looking for a corrosion resistant finish. Jerimiah’s gun was in their glass booth because he uses their coatings.
The pistol takes Glock magazines, and has a dual charging system. He mounted a charging handle on both sides of the gun just to show both parts, but a user can screw a charging handle into which ever side of the gun that they want to. The rear of the receiver has a QD button mount for attachment of a sling. The wood is very well finished, and the bolt is has a bright finish on it. People were asking him if this was just a demonstration version, but no, this is how Jerimiah is going to be doing all his models. Other versions are in an SBR version with a folding stock, or have a stock with a legal 16.5 inch barrel. He mostly uses the Drago gas system pattern instead of a Krink pattern where the receiver cover is hinged to the gas system. Other calibers will be offered, such as 9mm and .40 S&W. MSRP is still being talked about now, but it will be much lower than some of the other pistol caliber AKs on the market.

I will never understand why people criticize things they do not fully understand or know about..
Hey Thomas .. What is the proper angle for glock mags..
What makes you think it is made of alum..
How do you know that it has not been in 3 other guns,
Because it is interchangeable
Anyway
Yes it is blowback
Yes those are gas piston ends
(I liked them)
The mag adapt. Is made from steel
It must be at the correct angle cause it shoots very well in all 3 guns it has been used in so does the 9mm version..
Don't just guess and criticize ask questions.
As for using gas piston ends.. They screw in change them to whatever you like..
