Springfield Armory has announced that Colion Noir, an attorney, social media personality, and gun rights activist, named the Kuna 9mm a top gun choice for 2025. The company shared the news in a press release dated February 11, 2026. Read Springfield Armory's press release for the full text.
What Was Announced
Springfield Armory is promoting Noir's selection of the Kuna 9mm. The Kuna was developed with HS Produkt and is built as a compact PDW-style pistol. Noir's comments in his announcement video, quoted by the company, focused on the gun's recoil and how easily the sight picture returns between shots.
Key Details
- Caliber: 9mm
- Operating system: roller-delayed
- Upper: monolithic aluminum with integral M-Lok slots
- Barrel: 6-inch cold radial hammer-forged
- Charging handle: reversible and ambidextrous, non-reciprocating
- Magazines: translucent 30-round with metal feed lips
- Sights: adjustable hybrid flip-up metal sights
- Version 1: integrated Picatinny rail on the end plate, MSRP $1,179
- Version 2: Strike Industries FSA brace, MSRP $1,330
What It Means for Gun Owners
The roller-delayed design replaces a heavy bolt or gas system, and the company says the lower reciprocating mass reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip. Buyers who are weighing a compact 9mm carbine-style pistol can compare the two listed variants by price and by whether they want a rail or a brace. Endorsements from individual commentators are marketing, so anyone choosing a firearm should evaluate it on handling, fit, and reliability.
Bottom Line
The Kuna 9mm has been recognized by a prominent gun rights commentator, and Springfield Armory is highlighting that pick. The release itself does not include independent testing or long-term reliability data, so readers should look for hands-on reviews before buying.
