Authentic Russian Design, Made in the USA

Kalashnikov USA has engineered the Kali 9 to mirror the legendary Russian Vityaz submachine gun, bringing that proven design to the American market. This rifle is built entirely in the USA with premium materials, ensuring long-lasting performance. The BLEM (factory blemished) models may feature minor cosmetic imperfections, but they function flawlessly, offering you the same strength, accuracy, and reliability at a more affordable price point.

California Compliant Features

Complying with strict California firearm regulations, the Kali 9 (BLEM) comes with a fixed triangular buttstock, a compliant fin grip with thumb rest, and a faux suppressor. These features provide California gun owners with a legal and reliable AK-style rifle without compromising on quality or performance. The compliant grip enhances handling comfort, while the simulated suppressor adds a tactical appearance without violating state restrictions.

Key Compliance Features:

• Fixed Vityaz-style triangle buttstock
• Compliant fin grip with ergonomic thumb rest
• Faux suppressor for California legality
• 10-round Kalashnikov USA™ magazine

Reliable Performance with Low Recoil

The Kali 9 BLEM Rifle is chambered in 9x19mm and operates on a closed-bolt blowback system, eliminating the need for a gas system like in traditional AK rifles. This design produces exceptionally low recoil, making it a great choice for new shooters, home defense, or range training. Despite being chambered in 9mm, the rifle maintains the solid feel and rugged dependability that AK rifles are known for worldwide.

Durable Construction and Accessories

Every Kali 9 (BLEM) comes with a hinged dust cover featuring a built-in Picatinny rail, giving you the flexibility to mount optics, red dot sights, or scopes. The steel-lined polymer magazine is based on the double-column, double-feed design of the PPS-43 submachine gun, ensuring smooth feeding and long service life. Even though this is a BLEM model, Kalashnikov USA guarantees the same battle-proven durability you expect from their firearms.

Product Highlights:

• Authentic AK-style build with Russian design influence
• Highly reliable closed-bolt blowback operation
• Factory BLEM for lower cost without performance loss
• Light recoil – perfect for beginners and training
