The
Kalashnikov USA™ KR-9 is our American made 9mm semi-automatic rifle
based on the Russian Vityaz submachine gun which has proven very popular
with Russian law enforcement and specialized military units. The KR-9
has a 16.25” barrel and accepts 30-round and 10-round Kalashnikov USA™
magazines. The steel lined polymer magazines feature a double-column,
double-feed design inspired by the battle proven magazines used in the
PPS-43 submachine gun.
The KR-9 comes with a skeletonized Vityaz triangle style side folding
stock and a hinged top cover with attached Picatinny rail. The muzzle
features 1/2 inch x 28 suppressor-ready muzzle threads (and a shoulder)
making it compatible with most US muzzle devices and suppressors. It
comes from the factory with a flash suppressor installed.
The KR-9 features a closed bolt blowback design that incorporates an
out-of-battery safety mechanism so the gun cannot fire unless the bolt
is fully closed. The KR-9 also features feed ramps that are specially
designed to reliably chamber jacketed hollow point bullets.
The operating mechanism for the low recoiling 9mm pistol cartridge
dispenses with the gas system required for the 7.62 and 5.45 millimeter
cartridges used in the AK-47, AKM and AK-74 rifles. However, it still
maintains the high degree of reliability that have made the Kalashnikov
series of firearms the most prolific, longest lasting guns the world has
ever seen. Every KR-9 is proof tested in our indoor range to ensure
adequate safety and functioning before leaving the factory.
