The Palmetto State Armory AK-V is a modern pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) designed around the AK platform, chambered in 9mm Luger. This innovative firearm combines the reliability of the AK system with the practicality of the 9mm cartridge, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, including home defense, competition shooting, and tactical training. The AK-V features a 10.5-inch barrel with a nitride finish for durability and corrosion resistance. It includes a last-round bolt hold-open feature and utilizes proprietary PSA U9 magazines, which come in various capacities, typically 35 rounds. However, since the AK-V is also compatible with CZ Scorpion EVO magazines, you can find aftermarket magazines with even higher capacities. Some aftermarket options may offer magazines with capacities of up to 50 rounds. The AK-V's compact size and lighter recoil make it highly maneuverable and user-friendly, especially for shooters looking for an effective yet manageable firearm. Additionally, it offers customization options with various stock, brace, and handguard configurations, ensuring that users can tailor the AK-V to their specific needs and preferences.
