Springfield Armorys latest offering. 9mm delayed roller PCC.

Kuna Pistols - Springfield Armory

Not blowback... delayed roller! That's great, and will make it a much better suppressor host. Wonder if the mags are their own design, or compatible with any others...?

Street (internet) price ~$950, which under cuts the other non-blowback 9mm PCCs out there.

I like it!

Two flubs on my part in the last few days.

 

[Richard Simmons]

I’m interested.

What good is it other than a big noisemaker?

Guns of this type are very effective defensive weapons that can still fit in a small backpack, or next to the nightstand. Easier to shoot than a handgun for many folks, with low recoil, better accuracy and more capacity.

Besides all that, they're fun!

The mags appear to be proprietary. Ian McCollum (of “Forgotten Weapons”) dropped a disassembly video today. It looks very interesting indeed.

Proprietary mags. Polymer, clear, 30 rounds for about $25 a piece.

Gun named after a cute weasel! Croatia’s national critter too.

In before the inevitable wailing of "but why doesn't it take Glock mags".

Guess I'm old........I do better with either a shotgun /rifle /handgun.....I just can't appreciate a plastic bullet squirter that looks like it made in a toy factory.

I am beginning to think that you don’t like polymer firearms.

I don't understand how it can be considered a small portable package. It's a ginormous 5 lbs 9mm! It's the size and weight of a Sig P365, Glock 43, Springfield Hellcat and a S&W M&P 2.0 all combined into one ugly gun. And it only has a 6" barrel so the ballistics will about match any of those.

It’s cool, it’s only money, and no one takes money with them to their final destination.

Then you should really look into the HK offerings.

I've not had a single regret.

 

[ladder13]

Not an HK guy.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Rodan, it IS a handgun according to Springfield - "KUNA pistol". But, to quote Mike above, it appears to be a "giant noisemaker" and I can't imagine it being easy to use when something goes bump in the night.

But it is tactikool, as I have discussed in another thread not long ago.

Is it all Tactikool now?

 

[LVSteve]

Not an HK guy.

Me neither. My pocket book reminds me daily.

Looks like a Scorpion, functions like a Stribog A3. I watched a few videos of it last night, one where a guy was having problems with their magazines (proprietary of course) after a few hundred rounds of suppressed fire. I can appreciate the roller delayed from a suppressed perspective, but why not just get a flow-through can and not worry about increased backpressure on a blowback gun? I like my Scorpion, and I really like my Stribog with A3 Tactical lower that lets me use Scorpion mags.
