Being a subgun aficionado, my interests have been drawn to the Springfield Kuna.

The street price is reasonable and it's got all the design elements you'd want in a subgun. They came up with their own variation of roller delayed action vs blowback, presumably to not tread on Stribog, B&T or other patents. HK is king in the subgun realm but the patents for their infamously fantastic roller delayed system are long expired. But expensive to make.

Interestingly, this gun was initially designed for law enforcement and military in .40, which remains popular outside the US. So it's not a big stretch for the Kuna to become available in 10mm. Today, Springfield offers only 9mm in the US market. My interest is in a future 10mm version.

Since the goal of a subgun is to put a lot of pistol caliber lead in the air as fast as possible with the least amount of recoil, I'm intrigued with the notion of filling the air with 10mm freedom pills in a reasonably controlled manner.

Stribog introduced a 10mm some time ago. The 9mm is outstanding and affordable. I've made extensive upgrades to mine. I've been impressed with the Stribog and presume the 10mm is just as reliable. Instead of being torn to make a decision for the 10mm Stribog or Kuna, the answer is obvious. Buy both!

Love the Stooges. My wife cannot stand them. She doesn't see what's funny about them.

She's French. The French loved Jerry Lewis. I rest my case.
 
The Kuna is probably the ONLY other thing on my "to acquire list".... a very compelling and attractive piece of kit! But I'm letting the wallet cool off for awhile.

Would love to hear a report if you acquire one!
 
If I hadn't literally just built a mac n cheese , two c5 mat9s .... the new roller delay mat9K c5 is next everything is prepped and the cerakote design is almost finalized ... and then I have another Mac n cheese waiting on Middleton mades newest upper (pre ordered) and also two cz mag lowers on pre order .... I would totally consider this I love the price point and I am betting it just runs.
 
The Kuna was developed for law enforcement use. It's been in market for military/LE outside the US for about a year or so. The only reason I haven't bought it (yet) is I have a few others that I wish I had more time to shoot. It looks good. I haven't seen one for rent yet though. I'd like to shoot one.

If it's as good as the Stribog, it's a winner. Another reason I haven't opened the wallet for the Kuna is I have had a 10mm Stribog on my short list for a while.
