KP-9 – 9x19mm PISTOL

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

Proudly made for the Vityaz admirers, the KP-9 is one of the best compact pistols for any occasion: 

• The KP-9 by Kalashnikov USA™ is the only AK-authentic pistol based on the Russian Vityaz submachine gun. 
• The KP-9 is a dependable weapon in close-quarter conditions but can also engage long-range targets of over 600 feet, all with its compact yet durable design. 
• The KP-9 comes ready to be easily converted into a short-barreled rifle (SBR) with a hinge block and a quick detach mount at the rear of the receiver if you choose to use a brace or a buttstock with it.* 
• This AK-style pistol is highly reliable with unprecedented high quality performance in a compact size. 

The KP-9 comes with a proprietary double column, double-feed, steel-lined polymer magazine. It also has 1/2″×28 suppressor-ready muzzle threads for a muzzle device or suppressor of your choice. However, it also comes with a factory-installed flash suppressor. Many of the KP-9 pistol parts are interchangeable with the AK parts.

How were we able to achieve a compact design on the KP-9? 

Kalashnikov AKs work on the gas operating system, but the KP-9 works on the blowback operating system despite having the same design as the Russian AK. We removed the gas components of the AK and replaced them with a bolt carrier that carries extra weight in place of the AK’s standard 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.

The KP-9 pistol brings the authenticity of Kalashnikov USA™ and the reliability of innovative technology that never fails. Kalashnikov USA™ uses the most advanced and innovative technology to create this rugged and easy to control civilian legal version of the Vityaz submachine gun. The KP-9 is an affordable pistol that stands its ground in dependable situations.

It is easy to work with, and it gives you a smooth transition from any other firearm you used in the past.

*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.
