Talk me out of a Springfield Kuna in .40 S&W?

I would guess if they’ve been that slow to actually deliver upon a promised Handgun, no one at the Factory gives a shit about spare parts for the moment.

As Far as Aftermarket goes, the folks producing aftermarket parts is pretty much the same as Factory Replacement with a Big BUTT; No one likes to be teased, least of all people investing Money,

They invested on the promise of this being delivered last year, could you imagine investing $15000,00 in making Holsters for these Knuckleheads Last Year?

I’m saying this as a Guy who bought a SIG Carbine way back when they were first coming out. Sig F’ed it all up and had to stop at least once to get their shit together again. In the meantime I had a defective carbine and was a broke E-6 with a lot of money invested in a gun that was sitting back at Sig.

I just dont wanna see you get burned.

I appreciate the concern, but your experience with SIG seems quite a bit different than Springfield’s introduction of the Kuna…

HS Produkt has been making and selling these in .40S&W to the Brazilian cops since at least early last year (this seems to be why they haven’t been for sale yet).
In the USA, the 9mm version has been for sale for well over a year, and there must be thousands of them out there, so there’s a track record of reliability.

Also, Numrich isn’t selling Kuna parts yet, but they do sell the small parts for the other HS Produkt guns (the XD, etc.).

And I don’t think anybody is going to make a holster for a PDW, but there are plenty of “arm braces,” muzzle devices, pistol grips, and everything else that’ll fit the Kuna, and presumably anything introduced in the next decades will be reverse-compatible with it, too.
(I don’t foresee M-LOK, AR-compatible grips, or 1913 rails going out of style in my lifetime.)

Finally, if there were a different/better .40S&W PDW out there, then I would buy it… But there isn’t.

I don’t know I followed Sig a long time waiting for an American made Sig Carbine. Lot of talk and a lot of waiting.

Sig said the same thing about their Carbine.

I don’t even know what that was… an AR variant? Or you mean the new Spear?

In any case, this seems like apples’n’oranges.

Yeah, Okay, I get it. Have Fun.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy one until the magazines become available.

That’s What’s known in Bull Fighting as a Red Flag.

Not to worry, I’m at least several months away from getting serious about this…
I live in a blue state, and it takes some planning to buy something like a Kuna that the local libtards have decided I should not have.

I expect mags to flood the market soon:
Apparently the 9mm Kuna mags were all out of stock several months ago, but now they’re in stock and on sale everywhere.

Again, I think Springfield has put too much into this to let it die on the vine now…

Wow, that’s a bizarre mixed metaphor (actually a mixed simile, but that doesn’t have the same ring).

I’m still trying to figure out what the “SIG Carbine” was…

Obviously it’s just some Boomer BS that you should ignore

Darn, they missed me by about 18 months.

That’s when i was considering going all-.40 for primary carry pistol & PCC / PDW. They said this gun was coming in .40 first. .40 mags were in stock & sku available. After a few months the guns came. In 9x19.

I’m on .45 acp now.

I might buy one of the Kuna’s in 40sw. I still have alot of 180 grain 40 S&W that would be outstanding in this. And use a 45 can or a 46 can at the end, I think would be a good gun to run for the house.

I’m thinking more for underway, away from home…

At home I can go straight to an AR or an M2, but neither of those is concealable in any normal circumstances.

A PDW that folds down to 16” long and fits in a laptop case, on the other hand…
