9mm AK in the works from Kalashnikov USA?

[Viking Fires]

I know at the 2016 Shot show Kalashnikov USA had some 9mm AKs on display that were supposed to come out this past year but I can't find any online that actually came up for sale and on the company website there is a tab for a 9mm rifle, however it doesn't work. Has anyone heard any news about what the hang up is? Or known of any other companies making copies of the Vityaz type submachine guns? So far I'm aware of only the PAK9 and a new 9mm Draco pistol, both of which don't really resemble the actual Russian military sub guns.

First I've heard of it, but a 9mm sbr AK suppressed would be the bees knees if it ran well.

Larry vockers did a video with an early sample a few weeks ago.

Outside of Jim Fuller, Krebs, and very few others, the American AK market is a race to the bottom of a barrel full of derp. Hopefully, something will change, but I’m not too optimistic?

Delray Beach, Fla. –-(Ammoland.com)- Century Arms, North America’s premier AK manufacturer, has announced the release of a new 9mm AK-based pistol, the Draco NAK9. The AK-based 9mm handgun is the newest addition to the highly popular Draco pistol series.

“The Draco NAK9 fills a void in the U.S. market for a high quality Com-Bloc 9mm AK pistol,” said Jason Karvois, Century Arms Director of Sales. “Because it readily accepts Glock brand 9mm and aftermarket Glock magazines, many consumers can utilize the magazines they already own in their new 9mm AK pistol.”
​

The Draco NAK9 pistol is chambered in the cost-effective, low-recoil 9mm cartridge while capturing the look and feel of the AK-47 platform. The magazine well allows for compatibility with Glock 17 and Glock 19 magazines making it the perfect companion for your EDC 9mm handgun. The NAK9 comes equipped with a top-mounted Picatinny optics rail for mounting modern optics, a rear sling mount, one 33-round magazine and is compatible with aftermarket AKM handguards. The blowback operated design results in a platform as reliable as an AK, but in a smaller package with minimal recoil.
Its lightweight and 11.14” barrel make the Draco NAK9 an excellent choice for your next truck gun, CQC or a fun day at the range. The Draco NAK9 is shipping this week to dealers with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $724.99.

as little faith as I have in Kalashnikov USA they did have a pretty damn impressive copy of the Russian Vityaz at shot (that's the 9mm AK you're talking about).

Supposedly they were going to be ready by this past summer, but still nothing. Most everything they are suppose to make has been vaporware.

Hopefully we will see something at shot.
I find it very odd that places like Atlantic Firearms are selling mags for a gun that is not yet available.

Sadly I still haven't shot my Pak-9 Romanian pistol but I like that it is Cugir made. Eventually I will enlarge & re-tap the rear sling loop hole and SBR it with a VZ58 folder.

It is made IN cugir by nova modul, WASR and other Romanian issued AKs are made in Cugir by Romarm.

this is the same gun as the PAK9 that Atlantic sells for $450, just with the normal style AKM handguards and a longer barrel.

PSA is promising to release a 9mm AK sometime this year, they are also showing off a 556 AK that uses AR15 magazines
