Description
The Springfield Armory Kuna™ is the award-winning 9mm personal defense weapon that took the firearms industry by storm. Developed in partnership with Croatia’s HS Produkt — engineers behind some of the most reliable roller-delayed designs in Europe — the Kuna brings military-grade operating technology to civilian hands.
What makes the Kuna different from every other 9mm pistol on the market? One word: roller-delayed action. Instead of a conventional blowback or gas-operated system, the Kuna uses a roller to temporarily lock the bolt in battery. The result is a dramatically softer-shooting firearm that’s lighter than blowback alternatives and more refined than gas-piston designs.
Built for Home Defense Excellence
When seconds count, the Kuna delivers. With 30+1 rounds of 9mm on tap, ambidextrous controls for either-hand operation, and a folding brace option for added stability, the Kuna is purpose-built for home defense scenarios where your first mag might not be your last.

Common Questions — High Bridge Armory Customers Ask:
How does roller-delayed compare to direct blowback 9mm?
Direct blowback uses the weight of the bolt to control the action — it works, but the heavy bolt transmits more force and recoil. Roller-delayed momentarily locks the bolt, absorbing energy more gradually. The Kuna feels softer on the hands and is significantly more pleasant for extended range sessions.
What accessories fit the Kuna?
The M-LOK receiver accepts any standard M-LOK mounted accessory — lights, grips, laser systems. The end plate Picatinny rail accommodates pistol braces (like the included-option Strike Industries FSA folder). Standard 9mm suppressors thread onto the 1/2×28 muzzle.
Is 30 rounds legal where I live?
