GERMAN SPORT 9MM MP40 10.8″

THE GERMAN SPORT 9MM MP40 10.8″ semi-automatic 9mm carbine is a blowback-operated, closed-bolt design with a semi-auto-only single-action trigger pack and overall redesigned working parts that make it impossible to convert to full-auto; all the rest remains unchanged.

American Tactical is now importing the first MP40 replica chambered in 9mm. I tested drive one earlier this year and was impressed by German sport guns 9mm (GSG). This gun is still enjoyable even though it would have provided more excellent stability. 

The MP40 from German sport 9mm and American Tactical combines a historically accurate appearance with modern manufacturing. Known in the English-speaking world as the MP40, it’s hard to imagine a Nazi soldier without one of these handguns swinging by his side. Buy BERETTA 92G BRIGADIER WILSON TACTICAL for sale.

So, I stamped it American Tactical MP40 with a Nazi eagle above it. On the crate’s side, a metal plate read “American Tactical Imports, Rochester, NY Amish Hand-Crafted Case” on the crate’s side.” An Amish-made bin with a semi-automatic version of a German machine gun inside. 

AK “pistols” of any kind have no practical advantages over a similar AK model with a stock with the possible exception of being smaller and easier to hide.

AK pistols exist only because of a quirk of US law. In the US, a rifle with a stock must have minimum barrel length of 16 inches. If it is shorter than that, it is classified as a Short Barrel Rifle and is very heavily regulated. You have to pay a $200 tax and undergo a long bureaucratic process with lots of paperwork. The law also prohibits attaching stocks to pistols.

There are some AK models, like AK74SU, which have a much shorter barrel.

In order to sell them without restrictions on the US civilian market they are re-made on receivers that exclude the fully-automatic function and have no provision for the stock attachment. Having a short barrel and no stock allows them to be legally classified as pistols.

Obviously, they are too large and heavy to be used like normal pistol for more than a couple of shots, and the absence of a stock makes them unusable in the fashion of a rifle. As a result, the shooter winds up holding it by the grip and forend with no real support. This can be mitigated to a degree with a sling, but it’s still not ideal. Hands with no other support are a poor shooting platform for a rifle-weight gun.

Meanwhile, any AK-style rifle with a stock can be used in normal rifle fashion, allowing for greater accuracy and comfort.
