#KP9

It’s not too often we have an AK-style pistol caliber carbine in our Photo Of The Day. But thanks to a new (to us at least) star in the sky we have some wonderful pictures to show of the Kalashnikov USA KP9. All of these photos are from Bravo42 Photography, check out his excellent images below.

After 2 years of testing and over 10,000 rounds on a single buffer, Rifle Dynamics has released their KP9 Short Stroke Recoil Buffer. It’s designed to reduce split times in competition without the benefit of having a tuned gas system.

Over the last year, the Kalashnikov KP-9 has become increasingly popular in the gun market as a cheaper alternative to the MP5 clones and other AR-style PCC guns. I have finally had my KP-9 out of the ATF jail so it is an SBR and I finally was able to run it as an SBR for a couple thousand rounds. After I spent some time with it, I’m excited to talk about the good and bad I’ve experienced so far with the fun little KP-9. Let’s dive into this little PCC tac driver.
