Roller-delayed is the only thing making this interesting. Strike Industries brace? Absolutely gross, so braceless option it would have to be. I'd rather roll the dice on an MKE/Century AP5 though at that price range.
For now, I'll have to settle for my MPX, and i'm not losing sleep over that, mine has been awesome and makes a neat little suppressed backpack gun.

MPX K is also double the price… Features for the price, I’d still go for the Kuna. I could be way off base, but I’m just not willing to pay $2000 for a 9mm pcc sub gun. Looks like the MKE/ Century AP5 runs around $1700. The Kuna is more than decent for around $1000.

Got my MPX for $1200 brand new. You can find MKE/Century AP5's in various configurations for $900-1200 all day long, and the MAC's are sub 1k.
I'm not saying it ain't decent. Hell, if it gets great reviews it's still on the list to mess around with, if I don't buy an SP5 first.

Not sure where or when you got the MPX for $1200. But here are some current prices on the MPX K (which is the comparable version of the Kuna).

The AP 5 seems more reasonably priced. I’m not enthused about the aesthetics of it though… But that’s a personal thing.

If the opportunity to have a 10mm or even 40S&W presents itself…

You'll get no argument there. SP5 just looks, feels, and shoots better. But it's 3x the price lol.

While I don’t have a SP5, I do have a couple HK94’s and a SP89…
Full parts compatibility with their respective Turkish counterparts.
I really want to get a metal lower receiver for my Z5RS, a fixed A1 stock, and a skinny forend, and go old-school MP5A1.

Distributors were blowing out the MPX Copperhead and K models months back, alot of places online had them for between $1,300 - $1,500 until all the stock sold. There are still a bunch floating around.
I work very part time at decent sized local shop, so I get stuff at our cost. When our distributor emailed us about the MPX's for $1200 I was like yep order me one.
I don’t know whats yuck about the Strike industries brace? It is a solid option. After going through the process to SBR my Kuna I have had almost two months to try a bunch of different stocks and at the end of the day I went back to the Strike Industries option. I did purchase the Stock end cap to make it a stock vs the brace. In all honesty the difference between the brace end cap and stock end cap….I would give the advice save the 200 dollars, unless you want a vertical grip. Especially since you have to deal withNFA rules with interstate travel, who can use or poses it etc.
The Strike Industries brace is easy to use, open and close and is well made. I don't have to fight to open or close it like I have to with my JMac stocks or aces stocks to me that is a win.

I want a legit 91 so bad, but they are hard to come by and typically more than I am willing to spend lol.

I don’t have any experience with the Strike Industries Brace, but I do like the look and apparent functionality of it.
I’ll say this as well. A few years ago, big efforts were being made by YouTubers to not shoulder their braces. Every video review I’ve watched on these 9mm sub guns now, have the reviewers shouldering the brace. Seems like worrying about shouldering the brace isn’t a thing anymore…
