Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical accuracy expected from the PSA AK-P GF3 pistol?

The PSA AK-P GF3 pistol, when tested at 50 yards with a 1-4x optic and shot by two individuals, produced 10-shot groups averaging around 2 inches, which is approximately 4 MOA. This level of accuracy is considered acceptable for an AK pistol.

Did the PSA AK-P GF3 experience any malfunctions during testing?

Yes, a single malfunction occurred with older Wolf Polyformance ammunition. The last round in the magazine failed to eject properly and jammed against the bolt carrier. This was the first malfunction noted with the firearm.

What caused the significant muzzle flash observed with Russian ammunition?

The significant muzzle flash with Russian ammunition is attributed to the powder not fully burning in the shorter barrel of the AK-P pistol. This is because the ammunition is likely designed for longer rifle barrels, leading to unburnt powder exiting the muzzle.

How does the folding brace on the PSA AK-P GF3 perform?

The folding brace on the PSA AK-P GF3 has a desirable triangle style but is noted to be stiff and difficult to deploy. While it absorbs recoil well for some shooters, it can be flexible and buckle under rapid fire when shouldered tightly, though this doesn't impact shot accuracy.
