I've had my KP9 over a year, SBR'd it with the triangle stock, and put an Omega 9K on the front...it is THE SWEETEST suppressed 9mm and the ultimate Vityaz experience with the Zenitco handguard...

Being trying to tell them forever. Put a .01c sticker or tag on that rear cover that says "rotate rear sight forward before raising cover" Endless amounts of new owners have dug nice grooves into their cover because they do not know that. You can see the groves from the rear sight blade at around 9:00 in video.

It's a fun gun to shoot, especially with a shorty can. Very well mannered, light, compact, and smooth with ALG trigger. Added the Ivan Tactical left side charging handle, MP5 action all day.

@@carldouglasmiles5594 Most definitely can agree to that. I’ve purchased probably a 1/2 dozen or so firearms since 2012 and my KP9 ties(almost edges past) my Socom16 CQB in satisfaction. For me it’s really just because it being so handy being such a smaller package. Also being 9mm it’s cheaper to go to the range with in these ridiculous and expensive times. No malfunction issues with ammo or anything. The gun will run anything through it with no stoppages. Also as Sootch is claiming in the review, it is a great/smooth shooter. Especially with a red dot optic. It’s not quite as smooth shooting as an HKSP5 but the AK trigger is a lot better for a semiauto PCC. Especially when you throw an ALG trigger in it. For the money I’d take the KP9 over the HKSP5 every time.

@@carldouglasmiles5594 To add they are in very high demand which is another hint to how good it is. Got mine 3-4 months ago after 2 months of searching for a distributor that had any in-stock.

@@carldouglasmiles5594 Nice! 👍🏻. Nothing like a KUSA Christmas. Shot it yet? I’d buy an SP5 if I haven’t shot one before. Just can’t justify that price for a pcc with such a disappointing trigger. Not to mention the cost of the aftermarket upgrades/add ons for it. I mean I’ve already decked my KP9 out completely in Zenitco furniture, ALG trigger, Krebs safety lever, Aimpoint T-2 w/lowQD mount clamped on the top cover(not done with my load-out list just yet) and I’m still under the price of a bare bones SP5. Still, it is the softest shooter of them all though. Probably not telling you anything new but drop an ALG trigger in that b**ch.

It was a blast to shoot, for a minute, then I put it back to factory configuration. Fostech may work better in the PSA, as it does in MAC's PSA. Haven't tried the Franklin.

Nice, but why doesn't it use Glock mags? Also a tad expensive for a direct gas blowback firearm which is less suited to use with silencers than delayed blowback designs like the HK MP5 and CMMG Banshee or gas piston operated designs like the SIG MPX. So a nice gun if the year was 1961, but the MP5 was a better gun when it was introduced in 1966. Today I would buy the innovative CMMG Banshee that uses Glock mags, especially if my primary tactical rifle was an AR like the 5.56mm chambered M4 Carbine.
