Photo Of The Day: Czech gun manufacturing brings a particular pragmatism to carbine design. PERUN Arms, building on the Czech Republic's 150-year weapons production heritage, has spent the last decade refining their Perun platform. The result of that thinking is the Perun 9, a straightforward 9mm PCC that strips away flash in favor of function. This is their first mention ever here at TFB, so here we go with some more details. The Perun 9 is said to be built for shooters who understand that value doesn't mean compromise. Chambered in 9x19mm and running on closed-bolt blowback, it accepts standard Glock magazines, which means your pistol ammunition ecosystem transitions directly to the carbine. The modular barrel system speaks to real-world flexibility. Choose between 7-inch and 16-inch configurations depending on whether you're building a suppressed truck gun or setting up for IPSC competition under country-specific barrel length regulations. The 11-inch version shown here strikes the practical middle ground, delivering roughly 2.75 kilograms overall with a compact 800mm length. DLG ergonomic handguards and a telescopic buttstock allow fine-tuning to individual preferences, while M-LOK slots provide room for whatever you're adding to the rail.Since 2016, PERUN has delivered over 8,000 rifles to both civilian and military customers. The Perun 9 represents the company's understanding of what a 9mm carbine should be: reliable, affordable, and built to handle serious training or competition without pretense.Photo: PERUN Arms
