Kalashnikov – KP-9 9x19mm Pistol, Semi Auto, One 30 Round Magazine, 9.33″ BBL, Handguard, Rear QD Mount, Top & Front Rails, Black Synthetic

The Kalashnikov USA KP-9 is our civilian legal, 9mm semi-auto only AK style pistol based upon the Russian Vityaz submachine gun. Proudly made in the U.S.A., the KP-9 offers a variety of options for the Vityaz enthusiast. With its hinge block and quick detach mount at the rear of the receiver, the KP-9 comes ready for conversion into a short-barreled rifle (SBR) under the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934.*

This semi-auto pistol accepts 30-round and 10-round Kalashnikov USA magazines. The steel lined polymer magazines feature a very reliable double-column, double-feed design. The KP-9 also has specially designed feed ramps to accommodate jacketed hollow point bullets.

The KP-9s hinged top cover has an attached Picatinny rail. The muzzle features 1/2 inch x 28 suppressor-ready muzzle threads (and a shoulder) making it compatible with most US muzzle devices and suppressors. It comes from the factory with a flash suppressor installed.

*You can enjoy shooting your KP-9 in pistol configuration while awaiting approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to convert it into a short-barreled rifle (SBR). The KP-9 can also be fitted with a pistol brace but such stabilizing devices are currently under regulatory review by ATF. Before installing any buttstock, stabilizing device, vertical foregrip or other control accessory, please consult with a competent authority in your jurisdiction to ensure compliance with all current firearms laws and regulations. Mere possession of these parts before proper regulatory approval can be a violation of law.

The KR-9 pistol mimics the appearance of a gas operated AK-47, AKM or AK-74 but internally it is actually a closed bolt blowback operating system. The gas components of the AK were removed and replaced with a bolt carrier that features extra weight in place of the AK’s normal gas piston. The added mass forward of the bolt is reminiscent of the telescoping design used in the Uzi and helps keep the pistol compact.

Many AK parts are interchangeable with the KR-9 pistol. Reliability remains excellent and the low recoiling and widely available 9mm pistol cartridge makes for a fun (and inexpensive) pistol to shoot.
