NRA article about the MP5

This is going to sound stupid, but I have always thought I'd take an MP5 over an AR any day for HD.  In theory.  Might just be nostalgia, but there are things about it I think  I'd like better.  I'm not sure I would without a stock though.

Did you also hear about that Hillary email scandal?

If it was a fullsize pistol that could be SBR'd to an MP5 and it had a paddle mag release, it would be worth it. Otherwise, no way to attach suppressor/stupid paddle mag release/stupid price tag means that I'll pass.

So this is not the sp5k?

At least we are able to cut to the chase and tell OP that the pistol sucks.  I had to wait months to find that out.

How did HK mess up their own gun? What did they do to it?

It's more of what they didn't do... No 3-lug and no paddle mag release. Zenith/MKE is the best option on the market.

Zenith is best. Atleast they dont have cracks in their recievers like some hk have.

It is kind of depressing that we cant even get a HK gun from HK. I know part of it is because of the german government, but still. It sucks.

My LGS has the SP5K and the Zenith version (whatever the model number is) right next to each other
on display. Playing with each one a bit last time I was there, if I were in the market for something like that, I'd go Zenith. It's actually a better H&K than the H&K.

Sorry to be so late to the party.  The ribbing made me laugh though.  I especially like the Jim Carrey one.  

And thanks for letting me know it sucks.  That sucks.

I actually didn't know about any of these other ones you guys are talking about.  A long time ago a guy at the range had a copy of one but it was either in 10mm or 40.  I think 40 and I think it was called a Bobcat.  That has been my only experience with an HK MP5 clone type gun.  Was there such a thing?  

So there is one called a Zenith that is decent?

OP, Zeniths are actually made by MKE, an HK licensed copy. MKEs are built on HK tooling by HK trained techs. Check them out on YouTube. For under 2k, you can get a very nice copy of the MP5, MP5K and the HK93.  MKEs were imported by ATI a few years ago and now are imported by Zenith.
