TFB Review: Springfield Armory Kuna 9mm PDW Pistol

1 month ago | thefirearmblog.com | Adam Scepaniak

All in all, this is a very effective PDW. Whether you are jumping out of an enclosed cab Ranger, UTV, or suburban. Final ThoughtsSo, what are my final thoughts on the Springfield Armory Kuna 9mm pistol?... There is a tremendous amount to like about this pistol. The price and value proposition is off the charts. This pistol delivers on performance, quality, and reliability at - or significantly above - its competitors. An $1,149 MSRP feels like a misprint to me at this point. This one hell of a PDW.

I appreciated the bright dot front sight with a tritium insert as it made aiming a lot easier than if it was simply black on black irons like older models. Final ThoughtsSo, what are my final thoughts on the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0?... Overall, I found this pistol to be incredibly shoot-able, light recoiling for its size, an impressively light trigger, and very reliable as long as you skip feeding it meme hollow-points.

2 months ago | thefirearmblog.com | Adam Scepaniak

Overall, I pushed close to 500 rounds of 9mm through this pistol in a single range session which was primarily the Gold Medal Action Pistol, but also some other random 9mm ammo I had as well. All of it cycled flawlessly and I simply got to enjoy calling my hits on steel, rubber discs, and paper targets. Final ThoughtsSo, what are my final thoughts on the Springfield Armory 1911 TRP AOS 4.25” Carry Contour 9mm?... Overall, it performed exactly how I had hoped and expected - it was perfect.
