I have been a fan of the AK/AR pistol for some time. I think it gives the Civilian Operator unique advantages in mobility and maneuverability. Hybrid models like the KS-47 that combine AR controls and Operating System (Gas Impingement) with small 30 caliber performance of the 7.62×39 is a unique animal. Personally, I prefer the short stroke gas piston reliability of the AK, but that is me.
