Palmetto State Armory has just released the Jakl-9 SD, a suppressor-ready version of the 9mm Jakl pistol.
The PSA Jakl family of guns started as a 5.56mm long-stroke piston rifle, but it’s expanded quite a bit since then. The family now includes, besides the original Jakl-15 rifles and pistols in 5.56 and .300 BLK, a bullpup conversion variant called the Olcan, a scaled-up version in .308 Winchester called the Jakl-10 and a 9mm PCC version called the Jakl-9. Now, PSA is introducing a suppressor-ready Jakl-9 called the Jakl-9 SD.
Technically speaking, standard 9mm Jakls are suppressor-ready too, due to their threaded muzzles, but not to the same degree as the Jakl-9 SD. While it sports the same 6.5-inch barrel as the original, the SD’s handguard has been extended to a few inches beyond the muzzle. To allow it to safely be fired out of the box, Jakl-9 SDs ship with an extended flash can installed, but those are truly meant to be a placeholder until the owner can replace it with a real suppressor. This design provides a lot more real estate for gripping and accessories compared to a standard suppressed PCC setup, not to mention it looks sleeker and cooler, too. The handguard has an internal diameter of 1.8 inches, so keep that in mind while shopping for a can.
The rest of the SD’s details are the same as standard Jakl-9s. It uses a direct blowback operating system, a 1:10 twist rate barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, and it feeds from PSA AK-V 35-round mags or other CZ Scorpion-pattern mags. PSA is also selling the uppers as a standalone option since they’re designed to be compatible with any standard AR-V lower receiver.
The PSA Jakl-9 SD is available either with a black finish and triangle folding brace for $1,050 or with an FDE finish and F5 folding brace for $1,100.
