At the time I wrote that I was thinking about the locking block options.
Which is also the situation on the MP5's, changing that may help running suppressed (and is likely necessary on K models).

Thank you.
I did swap the locking block with the 40°, recoil felt a little softer, but that may be all in my head.
I now see a 35° is available from Global Ordnance

If I could only buy one, I'd probably go with the Kuna. 80% of what I love about the MP5 for about a third of the price.

Thanks for the write up.
Always loved the look of the MP5, but budget prohibitive.
The Scorpion was top of my shortlist for a long time before the new stuff started hitting the market.

The Kuna is top right now, need to find a shop with the Kuna & Stribog to get both in hand.

Then, to start researching 9mm cans. Thinking this'll be my first big commission celebration for my new job.

Get both I prefer the Stribog slightly over the Kuna.

I need to 'try both on' and see. Quick checks show the Kuna undercutting the Bog by a bit.

I heavily researched both.
Both are decent choices, but something made me choose the Stribog.
I held them both at a gun show and preferred the Stribog.
There were quite a few selling Kunas; there was only one selling Stribogs.
They were out of the SP9 A3, so I went to their retail store and ordered it; it arrived 3 days later.
I guess my point is it wasn't easy finding a Stribog to hold in my hands.

There are a couple of ranges around here that rent the Kuna.
I didn't know that until after I purchased my Bog.

I believe if you want an FRT, you'll have to replace the lowers on either choice.
I know you need a different lower for the Bog, and I'm pretty sure for the Kuna as well.
I have no interest in the FRT on a PDW, so it wasn't a factor.

Kuna is made in Croatia for Springfield.
The Stribog is made in Slovakia.

Stribog parts are more plentiful than they used be.
Global Ordnance and HB Industries are couple of retailers.

I read that Springfield doesn't sell Kuna parts.
There may be other places that do; I never looked into it.

I think someone else mentioned if you do look for Stribogs find the SP9 A3 8" or SP9 A3S 5.5".

The A3 is designated as roller-delayed; the A1 is blowback.
The A3 is also available in 45ACP and 10mm.

I used to run Springfield Crotian-made XD pistols but never cared for the triggers.
Although I never had any negative issues with the guns themselves.

Good luck.

Thanks for the continuing advice…

If you want something small I suggest HK SP5K or B&T APC9K both suppress great with very little recoil And super reliable. The Stribog A3 is also an excellent choice. I would also recommend the OCL Lithium 9 suppressor.

You can just buy the Banshee upper and stick it on any AR lower and it will just run.

I pair them with the cheapest PSA lower with an FRT and they will just run with the standard buffer as they are a radially delayed blowback.

I put a KynSHOT RB5000HP buffer in mine and you can't even feel it run.

The HK SP5 does not need the locking piece changed to run suppressed the SP5K should be changed when running suppressed to prevent roller dents. I suppress my 10mm Stribog with no changes at all.

Well I got a CZ scorpion micro 3+ and put a suppressor on it for home defense. It really shoots great and makes for a compact package. However, if i had to do it over i would get a cmmg decent in 300 BO. there a lot of good choices now.

300BO was top of my list for a while, then the Scorpion.
Time/money kept that delayed, and the cost of 300BO compared to 9mm kicked the Blackout down the list.
Then all these new 9mm PCC/PDW options keep coming out that seem to surpass the Scorpion kicked it down/off the list too.
