Meet the AKV “Stizon”: PSA’s New Bizon-Inspired 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine. Beast ~ VIDEO

The AKV “Stizon” is finally here—and it’s not just another AKV variant. Built in collaboration with Stuff and Things Inc, this new release from Soviet Arms and Palmetto State Armory is packed with features and serious range-ready firepower. For those of us who live and breathe AKs, the Stizon is a slick mashup of Eastern Bloc style and modern American engineering—and it’s helical-mag-fed straight from the box.

No more DIY builds, no more hunting for Bizon parts. Just open the case and run it.

What Makes the Stizon Special?

This isn’t your average 9mm PCC. The Stizon is modeled after the iconic Russian PP-19 Bizon, complete with a 55-round helical mag that feeds like a dream once you get the loading technique down. That mag locks into a beefed-up handguard retainer system with a loctited set screw—ensuring your front end stays locked up tight and aligned shot after shot.

Here’s what’s packed into this little monster:

    • SB Tactical Triangle Side-Folding Brace
      Clean, classic AK look—folds to the left for compact storage.
  • Soviet Arms Pistol Grip and Stizon Handguard
    Ties the whole aesthetic together while keeping it comfortable.
  • Stizon Flash Hider and Hinged Picatinny Dust Cover
    Optic-ready and suppressor-compatible (with a jam nut if you go suppressed).
  • Hammer-Forged Trunnion and Carrier
    Just like the original AKV, built tough to take a beating and keep running.
  • 10.5” Nitrided Barrel with 1:10 Twist
    Rated for +P+ ammo and ready for whatever you feed it.

Shooting the Stizon Feels Like Cheating

Cameron from PSA ran it hard during range day—mag dump after mag dump—and the feedback was all smiles. This thing just eats ammo and begs for more. It’s a perfect blend of practical and fun: you can run drills all day or just enjoy the chaos of 55 rounds ripping through steel.

Plus, with the Stizon’s loading system—rotate the mag three clicks, load three rounds—it’s oddly satisfying and keeps feeding consistent.

Compatibility & Suppressor Tips

Thinking about running suppressed? PSA recommends using a jam nut to index your muzzle device, since the barrel lacks a shoulder. This extra step ensures proper alignment and prevents baffle strikes.

Also, make sure you’re using the newer-style Stizon magazine feed lips—the gun is designed around them, and you’ll get the most reliable performance sticking to the compatible version.
