Springfield Armory KUNA 9mm Pistols: A New Breed of Compact Precision

Springfield Armory has announced a bold addition to its pistol lineup-the KUNA 9mm series. These compact firearms deliver modern design, control, and performance in a PDW-inspired package. There are two models launching: the KUNA 9mm Pistol and the KUNA 9mm with Strike Industries FSA Brace.

Both are packed with upgrades. If you're looking for a reliable compact 9mm platform, the KUNA series is worth your attention.

What Is the Springfield KUNA 9mm?

The Springfield KUNA is a short-barreled, pistol chambered in 9mm. It's designed for fast handling, control, and adaptability. Key features include a 4.5-inch threaded barrel, monolithic aluminum upper, and an 11.5-inch M-LOK® handguard.

Unlike many compact pistols, the KUNA includes fully ambidextrous controls. This means both right- and left-handed shooters can operate it comfortably. Additionally, the forward blast diverter pushes gases away from the shooter, making it safer and easier to use in tight spaces.

Strike Industries Brace Model: Added Support, Same Footprint

The second KUNA model takes things even further. It features the Strike Industries FSA folding stabilizing brace. This addition gives shooters extra stability while maintaining a compact form factor.

Because the brace folds, the pistol remains easy to transport or store. As a result, it becomes a strong choice for those who want the control of a PDW with the size of a pistol.

Key Features of the Springfield KUNA 9mm

• Caliber: 9mm
• Barrel: 4.5″ threaded with blast diverter
• Receiver: One-piece monolithic aluminum upper
• Handguard: 11.5″ M-LOK® free-float
• Controls: Fully ambidextrous
• Brace (Model 2): Strike Industries FSA folding stabilizer
• Optics Ready: Yes
• Magazine Compatibility: Accepts standard 9mm pistol mags
• Intended Use: Tactical defense, range shooting, PDW-style carry

Why the KUNA 9mm Stands Out

The KUNA series was built for shooters who need performance in a compact size. Thanks to its monolithic upper and threaded barrel, it's both durable and suppressor-ready. In addition, its flat-top design is perfect for adding optics or accessories.

Unlike many pistols in this category, Springfield designed the KUNA with real-world usability in mind. For example, the ambidextrous controls make transitions smoother for left-handed users. Meanwhile, the blast diverter helps with recoil control in indoor or close-quarters environments.

Final Thoughts

The Springfield KUNA 9mm series offers a modern approach to compact pistol design. With features like a monolithic upper, blast diverter, ambidextrous controls, and brace support, these pistols provide a serious advantage in a small package.

If you're looking for a PDW-style pistol that handles like a full-size platform, the KUNA 9mm could be your next go-to firearm.
