I don't, but the Swiss police have used some it's on YouTube, I know a user on here had the sig acp he likes it. I'm looking to get an acp as well, just to have that pdw middle man. And if you get a kpos if you don't have an sbr stamp make sure you remove the stock and fill the holes so you can't add a stock.

Funny that you should bring this topic up. I recently received a KPOS G2 for a Glock 17 sitting on a form 4. So, no actual trigger time, but I got to play with the chassis in some detail.

On the whole, I'm very impressed with it. It is slightly bigger than I envisioned, but build quality and engineering seem first rate. Really liked the charging handle assembly, and the stock seemed good, too. Jury is still out on whether the sight plane should be Troy Micro or AR height.

Yeah, I was leaning in the direction of the Micros. I mounted up an AR-height optic, and I found that it was just a little too high for comfort. Probably would work well with the TRS-25 and riser I was planning on using, too.

I have a KPOS Gen 1 for my Glock 17 on a Form 1 with a Trijicon RMR06 and Troy Micros for back up.  I chose the Gen 1 over the Gen 2 because it's a little more compact and I'm right handed.  The Gen 2 with the AR style cocking handle might be a better choice for a lefty.

It took a little work to take care of some vertical stringing, but after a few "bubba" mods, it's accurate enough for what I need.  I find I'm much more accurate using a KPOS mounted G17 than I usually am shooting it as a normal handgun.  I also have a G35 upper so I can switch back and forth between 9MM and 40 S&W but I normally leave it in the 9MM configuration.

Muzzle blast is a little more obvious since the weapon is a closer to your face than if you were firing a pistol using a normal one or two hand hold.  Especially when firing 40 S&W, but it's not unbearable.

I'm not in law enforcement nor am I any kind of operator, but as a civilian I think this setup is a nice piece of equipment for home defense, especially after my SWR Octane 9 HD tax stamp finally gets approved.  It's relatively compact and I like the fact that I can use the same mags and ammo that I use on some of my other weapons - a 9MM AR 15 and TSD Glock 19.

Is this for everyone?  I doubt it.  There may be better choices out there, but I like it and it works for me within the limits of what I think I'll need in my particular case.

Pete

Does anyone have one of this with an extended barrel, say around 6 to 9 inches? How do they look and function? Thanks.
