Introducing the Kalashnikov USA KP-9, a semi-automatic pistol that offers an unprecedented blend of history, performance, and durability. This American-made firearm draws inspiration from the Russian Vityaz-SN submachine gun that holds a prominent place in Russian law enforcement. Built by Kalashnikov USA following the 2014 sanctions against Russia, the KP-9 showcases an impressive adaptation of the AK-74 design, modified for civilian use, while retaining its distinctive features.
The KP-9 is in good condition, showing signs of light use and handling. Notable are minor handling marks on the polymer furniture, a small blemish on the left side of the front dust cover, minor "dummy" scratches on the safety selector and gas tube lock lever, and a minor blemish on the faux gas tube. Nevertheless, the bore remains extremely bright and clean, with sharp lands and grooves on the rifling, indicating excellent maintenance.
Included in this sale are two 30rd K-USA Polymer Mags, housed in the original case for safe storage and convenient maintenance. The KP-9 features a rubberized K-USA Folding triangle brace, black polymer pistol grip, and ribbed black polymer handguards. The sight/optic comprises a Picatinny rail, a rear adjustable leaf U notch, and a front adjustable half ring/post.
The KP-9 fires 9mm Luger ammunition, with a 30+1 round capacity. It incorporates a blowback action mechanism, promising a reliable and easy handling experience. The gun comes with a hinged top cover with a Picatinny rail and specially designed feed ramps to accommodate jacketed hollow point bullets. The KP-9, with its sleek black finish and iconic AK features, is a testament to the enduring design and performance of the Kalashnikov brand. The perfect addition to any firearm enthusiast's collection, the KP-9 represents the convergence of power, reliability, and historical significance.
