Springfield Armory Kuna

So, what are folks thinking about this? Who has one? who has handled one?

I'm thinking about getting the braced version myself and encouraging a daughter to get it as a potential HD pistol. . . .I think it makes a lot of sense next to the bed with a light and a dot on it.

. . .and no, I'm not being paid (guess I'm not smart enough to get paid to chat about my hobby!). . .I am genuinely interested in open opinions and conversation about this new to me pistol.

Anybody have one yet?

No. Went mp5 clone knowing Kuna was coming.

Mags are key. Scorpion and Stribog are both on gen 3 mags.

Mp5 mags work, even a few aftermarket MKE KC4 cheaper ones.

When did they end the handguard so fast? Kinda looks...unfinished

I love the fact that it's roller delayed, and $25 mags sound good. Gotta see how reliable it is though.

I can see one sneaking into my truck later this year!

Meh, just another PDW-type gun in the $1000 range. There are many options in this price range, and they are only fun as long as the government lets you use a brace; without a brace, they are just oversized pistols to me. YMMV

And yes you can go and SBR them bla bla bla..... I guess I'm just getting old

I have no use or interest in such gimmicks.
Give Team Mediocre one to fool with and I would have a bloop tube and stock installed to produce a legitimate PCC to enter USPSA and IDPA.
