OP: Do you carry a 9mm pistol and, if so, what kind. (If you don't mind me asking.)
Your response to this question doesn't weigh heavily in some folks' answer to your original question (and that's fine), but it always has for me. |

Glock mag Stribog. Its got all the goodies: glock mags, roller delayed, awesome trigger, folding stock, price, etc.

If you are not concerned with a true SMG, and yes a own a couple...
I would go PSA AR-V or even AK-V. I have the AR-V and love it. Same manual of arms as an AR-15, purpose built "from the ground up" to take only CZ Scorpion mags. The trigger is way better than the CZ Scorp and it looks right to me. Form and function. |

Scorpion or MP5. I like the PTR's, some guys swear by the Turks.

Pistols are pistols,rifles are rifles. Fucks pcc's. Have you seen how long a threat stays a threat after being poked with a pistol? Way too long for comfort. Pistols are a tool of convenience.

Quoted: I'll agree with that completely, but in full auto, the rate of fire is too fast and it's kinda chattery......not very smooth. The trigger of course is typical HK and completely sucks ass....worse than a Glock. And the extractor/spring design is complete shit. But hey, it sure looks cool and if you want to hang with the cool kids, its a must have. View Quote I don't disagree with you often, but can't say I find the MP5 in full auto to be as you describe it. The other criticisms are valid points, though. |

If you have any interest in staying away from potential pistol/brace issues, then the CX-4 is definitely worth looking at. Even as a legal rifle it's really compact, mags everywhere, and proven reliable. Not to mention its a ton of fun.

I dont own one yet, but i might learn towards the sig.. It supposedly has a more muted recoil like an mp5... the scorpion is more 'violent' in its recoil, but still a fine modern weapon, unless you want all metal, then go sig.. Mp5/ap5/sp5/ isn't a bad idea, but they are a 60 year old design and a little harder to 'trick out' (but still possible).
Be aware the sigs have some issues with accuracy and 'non brand' sig suppressors.. something to do with harmonics and their whacky threading they use... |

MP5 is hard to beat unless your willing to swing for an SD or your willing to pony up for a Best MM MP5. Not going to lie though. My MP5SD I built is my absolute favorite rifle.
Failed To Load Title Watch out for the Glock mag gayness It has an application but honestly something that gets shot a lot isn’t one of them. |

I have a AP5-P and it’s more fun to shoot than anything else I have. It has its drawbacks, but it also makes me smile big when I’m shooting it. Anything else without delayed blowback would be a let down.

If you’re going to compete, save up for a JP5. Shoots so soft.

I'll talk to the Turkish and HK MP5s. Great guns. But you have to remember
THE HK TAX EVERYTHING is more expensive. Mags - German - $80 ($70 on sale) Turkish - $50 Mount a light - Surefire Forend $500+ Stock $500+ Plus NFA $200 Tax Sight - Does the gun come with a Mount? If not $150 plus the Sight and Co Witness is a TOUGH ask Great guns, accurate, little recoil, but EXPENSIVE. --------------------------- Kel Tec Sub 2000 I have a Gen 1 - Gen 2 Easier to mount a (1) Light and (2) Sight Mags Glock ($25-33) Recoil - a bit more due to direct blow back but you can get a recoil buffer to help with it. Simple and efficient action - like a WW2 British Sterling SMG. If you want a truck gun - this is the way. |

A genuine HK SP5 made by Germans on up-to-date German tooling would be a better option than multiple throwaway MKE range toys. Would you rather have 1 good toy, or 3 crappy toys?
If I was only buying 1 pistol and my budget was under $2,000, I would go B&T. Too many people on the HK forums have had problems with MKEs. |

Quoted: I had two Scorpions and really liked them but then started to see damaged ones on the web, could not get it out of my mind. I understand 99.9 percent will never have a failure like this but I decided to let my plastic upper receiver gun go. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/263282/16EF725F-1F6C-4441-B733-BF51C2EE9CD3_jpe-2527506.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/263282/A516FD33-5C58-40E4-8FEB-378781271506_jpe-2527507.JPG View Quote Given that the Scorpion was designed/sold as a SMG to foreign markets first, and then became a PCC later, I am having a hard time believing that catastrophic failures are commonplace with good ammo. Military buyers would not accept that. CZ is not known for making marginal or unsafe firearms. I bet the failures you posted are due to poor quality ammo, more than anything else. |

I have a PTR MP5 clone that has been SBR’d, and it is my favorite gun…
|

New 3+ is sooooo sick. Other than new magazines it's the best in every regard over the previous Gen.
And 30rd mags are readily Available already and cheap and magpul is gearing up for the newer style Just got mine for $1100 Attached File Attached File |

The CMMG RDB system is great for the AR platform.
Im contemplating selling a complete short upper, might be on the EE soon. |

I enjoy my MPX, but if I did another PCC again it would be some variation of the roller-locked action. I shot one integrally suppressed (with happy switch) and it was incredibly controllable. The MPX is smooth but not that smooth.

Watch this, Dependable yes I believe so.
If a CZ works after this,it certainly deserves consideration. I did shoot a striebog Glock mags ,this weekend, nice trigger though. |
