Just got in on the v with 10 mags and alg trigger. This will be my first 9mm blowback. Anything I need to know?
Seen some things about out of battery detonations, is that common or rare? How do they do with hollow points? Have a lot of golden sabers to burn through. Attached File |

Mines been one of the most fun guns I've bought in a while. Has been 100% reliable and pretty accurate. I'd buy it again. Haven't had a chance to run any in mine (keep meaning to) so it would be interesting to hear your results.

Concur this is one of the only guns I've bought that has made me giggle like an idiot.
If you're not at a range that's cool with "rapid fire, make sure you pull the trigger with some authority. If you are a bit light on it you'll be having some words with the RSO after a bit of a fun ride. |

Incredibly fun gun, hope you have stacks of 9mm.
Using PSA magazines, 124gr speer ball was flawless. 147gr speer gold dot g2 would only feed reliably with 20 or less rounds in the mag. |

I want one of these real bad

Not aware of any OOB issues with the AKV.
KUSA on the other hand.... |

I have the 7.62 pistol, and it's a hoot.
As an aside, has anyone tried to suppress one of these, either the 9mm or 7.62x39? |

Got it In yesterday. Josiah is the man and hooked me up with the free 9mm promo they have going. (I didn’t add it to the cart like it says to )
Well put together, no shakes or rattles that shouldn’t be there. Not sure when I’ll get out and shoot it but it is very cool. |

View Quote There are some good vids from a youtuber who does a comparison of the PSA vs KUSA suppressed on his channel. I'll have to be at home to look it up as I can't remember the name of the channel. |

Any tips on getting the folding brace to close? I’ve tried about everything and can’t get it.

I just put the finishing touches on mine. Looking forward to a range trip next week.

It bump fires very easily, enough to get me kicked out of my uspsa match. Contacted psa since it’s a known issue and they told me to pound sand. “It’s sold as a pistol, if you are shouldering it then you are using it illegally” direct quote. I replied that mine is an sbr and no response. So I have one for sale if anyone is interested.

I like mine a lot. But I’ve also had a fair amount of OOB detonations, using Winchester white box.

I put an ALG trigger in mine before I ever shot it, and no issues at all. Very reliable and accurate and lot's of fun to shoot.

I know I'm late to this.
I love mine. Has been 100% reliable. I suck at bumpfire so I can't get it to. A friend of mine can make mine bumpfire like a champ! |

I'm not into the whole bump fire thing, and most ranges will frown on that activity. I mostly shoot mine at 50 yards, and it has proved itself very accurate at that distance. It's a very addictive firearm to shoot and lots of fun too, one of the best firearm purchases I have ever made for sure.

If you don't want to bump fire, use the PSA trigger. I found it is harder to get to bump fire.
