That it is! Alot of Russian milsim players were hyped about this. It turned out to be great! I got a novel engraved version with all the Kalashnikov Concern trades and mock serial on it. Especially after the mp-443 Grach came out and while it played the looks the performance was so-so.

correct. its supposed to be based on the Kalashnikov Group Lebedev PLK/Baikal PLK. It is not an exact replica for either though. Can I fault them for that? No, not really. I cant hold or fire a real one in the US and they probably didnt have the chance to do so in Taiwan either.. Im mostly just happy they tried to make something everybody else didnt bother to make. Frankly there are a lot of licensed guns that stray further than the real steel out there. That said, you can tell the follow differences: the milling/melting at the front of the slide and frame is different. This is one place where the Lebedev and Baikal show visual differences, and the kizuna goes its own way. the safety not the same albeit in the same spot. The gun is still ambi. the lanyard loop isnt really present on the kizuna. there is a very small hole with a pin in it where the PLK has a loop. the grip inserts are visually similar, but dont really provide anywhere near as aggressive of a grip. the kizuna are practically smooth. Other things, like the dimensions are off, but you may not be able to tell unless you had a real one in front of you, or looked very closely at quality pictures. the trigger guard is a bit too long and some of the ledges on the frame are not nearly as steep.

Any chance Glock mags work also?

@@William-Stewart no they don’t unfortunately

aparently not compatible

well ''Armorer Works'' is an english name for a brand but they are also coming from Taiwan lol
