Palmetto State Armory AKV 9mm Pistol Upgrade Guide Ammoland Inc. Posted on
The PSA AKV is one handsome little AK.
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)-I love the PSA AKV because it reminds me of the Vityaz and the PP-19 Bizon. Both 9mm versions of the AKM. The allure of a 9mm AK is tough to nail down. Objectively, it’s less effective and versatile than a standard 7.62x39mm version, and yet, it’s endearing for several reasons.
Light recoil, inexpensive ammunition, and Spetsnaz cool-factor chief among them. The problem with both of these guns is that they are essentially unobtainable in the United States. A few companies have come along and offered their own take on the 9mm AK. But it wasn’t until PSA released their AKV that the cost and cost of ownership of a 9mm AK hit blue-collar prices.
