It's a relatively short range 9mm. IMO, the iron sights really are gud enuf and are part of the fun of shooting an MP5.
Unless you need an RDS due to vision issues or for use with passive NV, at which point cowitness isn't desired. |

Is there a rear sight with a single notch? I want to retain a peep sight but it would be nice to have a notch also. I don’t want a “castle” sight.

Swap an old Cetme sight onto it. Looked like a paddle wheel, with different aperatures and one flap was a simple V notch. Won't go on easily though. Have to cut off old sight and weld on the new one. |

The one notch and 3-aperatures was for some of the rifle caliber roller lock guns, and also the OG iron sights for the HK416/417 came with that layout as well. You should be able to buy one of those drums and change it out if you wanted. |

Picked my AP5-P up yesterday. The flash-hider was a chore to remove, turns out one of the pins was through the spring and not in front. The included rail was a PITA to mount, unlike the one I got for my SP5.
I feel like John Snow, I know nothing about HK's and probably should have gotten the full-size one as well instead of the HK SP5, because finding parts to meet 922r is a pain.

A person who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, the term “bump-fire stock” means a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device. |
