KUSA KP9
Kalashnikov USA clone of the Russian Vityaz-SN aka pp-19-01.
The closest we can get to owning a Vityaz-SN, PP-19 Bizon or Saiga 9.

Damn don't I wish we'd gotten in the Saiga 9's...  Sad.

Purchased this from Atlantic Firearms on the 17th, arrived the 22nd.
Went and picked it up from my FFL/range today.
Gave it a going over, clean and lube, function check and loaded one round... BANG!
Load the mag...  BANG!BANG!BANG!... X's 30.
Put 150 rounds through it, smooth as silk sheets.
Overall fit and finish are first rate, no complaints... Yet.
This gun absolutely begs to be SBR'd.

I've a KUSA/SB Tactical 5.5mm Triangle Brace on order, as well as five more 30rd magazines.

Nice looking pistol.

Kind of looks like a German MP40 and an AK47 had a baby.

Maybe an underfolder?

Thanks, first it's gonna get a triangle brace with 5.5mm folder. 

Then I'm thinking about either an RDS or holographic sight.

Screw the Brace, by the time KUSA gets them out and catches up with the preorders, my Form1 will be approved.

Yeah, I knuckled under and canceled the brace, got the real deal Vityaz triangle stock.

Just need a little patience now.

The KUSA mag couplers are nice too.

Ya know the ol'saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Well KUSA was gracious enough to send some swag with my order in the form of a KUSA KP9/KR9 Backpack.
I have to say that gesture is quite appreciated, over the top customer service. Now the least I can do is post some pics and review it.

The KUSA Backpack seems well built, the fabric, straps, MOLLE, zippers and sewing all seem decent materials for the price point. It secures the weapon well, plenty of room for most gear, eyes, ears, mags, ammo, tools, trauma kit and whatever else.
I can easily tote all the above, with up to 500rds of ammo.
Four internal mag pouches, room for more stored loose, and MOLLE pouches can be attached.

I have the bag loaded with the KP9, 6 loaded mags, six 50rd boxes ammo, eyes/ears, holstered XD9 w/ extra mag, twenty 8" targets, notepad/pen and a trauma kit. And there is room for more gear.

Initially I give it 4:5 stars.
There are a couple of points internally where exposed stitching causes me concern, possible lack of durability due to abrasion.

Middle Pocket
4 magazine pouches and room for lots of other gear.

Inner Pocket
Weapon Securement and room for lots of other gear.
Opposing side has a large mesh pouch that nicely fits round 6"-8" Shoot-N-C targets, should fit 10" too. Notebooks and other misc.

Backside, there is an internal pouch that could be used for such as extra padding or even a ballistic plate.

I didn't like any of the Braces and finally filed an eForm 1 for an SBR.

Took 22 days to come back.

Next is manufacturing a Suppressor  on an eForm 1.

Well done. It took them a really long time to get things rolling, but I have been well pleased with everything of theirs that I have seen or worked on. 

There was a 9mm Molot offering headed this way, but...

Anyway, it wasn't as cool as the Vityaz.

I'm impressed as hell with their KP-9.

I wish their KR103 was a true to form folding stock.  That should enter the market soon.

On a side note,

there was a guy a few weeks ago showing off one of the only dozen or so Saiga9 rifles that made it into the US as Importer/FFL samples before the Ban.

I was drooling hard over it... What a shame, fuck Obama and the Feds.

Well I think I finally got'er how I want 'er, except for a TLR-1 light.

SBR'd with the standard Russian Vityaz triangle stock.

Added a HK style charging handle.

EOTech XPS2-0.

Magpul MS1 sling with Blue Force Gear QD wire loop.

Rifle Dynamics stock pouch to keep paperwork handy.
