Anyone have experience, extensive if possible, regarding the UMP in 40 S&W? As it is obviously not easy to obtain, there is very little info on the net regarding reviews of the weapon system. Looking at obtaining some for LE use to supplement current MP-5s in service. We've since changed to 40 S&W for duty handguns and are interested in doing the same with tactical SMGs. I know I can obtain info from H&K directly, but I was looking for independant info from actual users/operators, not only advertising from the manufacturer. I trust H&K to produce a quality product, but would like to hear any negatives we should consider. Thanks for any info you can provide. |

The negatives: I'm not real fond of them, they are not nearly as controlable in full auto as the MP-5 due to caliber and weight. Also due to polymer/plastic construction they tend to break at the front pin area (ears) if care is not taken during assembly and disassembly. The positives: Hell, they're available. Cheaper than the MP-5. More calibers. And yeah, my opinions are from real hands on with them, not gun rag rehash. |
