Working Smarter, Not Harder
While mechanical inclination is something we celebrate in the GunCAD community, sometimes the struggle is real. It’s really annoying, that is. Nowhere is this more true than in the world of TEC-9 builds, where the infamous pistol is also infamously difficult to assemble. The Kimmel AP9 makes this massive pain a thing of the past, offering a straightforward process accessible to builders of all skill levels.
Designed by Vinh Nguyen, a legendary dev with dozens of successful releases under his belt and based on the existing TEC-9 frame by Freemendontask, the KAP9 is a simplification of the best kind.
