Springfield Armory's Springfield Armory's press release announced that On Target magazine selected the Kuna 9mm as one of its best new products for 2025. The award recognizes the pistol for technical achievement and value for the money.
What Was Announced
Springfield Armory said the Kuna earned an Editors' Choice Award from On Target, which chose it from the year's new releases. The company dated the announcement February 18, 2026.

- Operating system: Roller-delayed, with a monolithic aluminum upper
- Controls: Fully ambidextrous, with a reversible, non-reciprocating, fold-flat charging handle

What It Means for Gun Owners
The Kuna is built around a roller-delayed system that the company says reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. Buyers weighing a compact 9mm with a PDW-style layout can compare the two configurations and their prices. The award is a magazine's judgment, and buyers should evaluate the pistol themselves.
Bottom Line
On Target's Editors' Choice places the Kuna among the notable new 9mm pistols of 2025. Both versions are priced at the MSRP listed by the manufacturer.
