What a neat gun. The MP5 is pretty small and the K is the answer for those wanting something even smaller.
While perhaps my least favorite out of the trilogy. There is absolutely no denying how neat all the accessories designed for it and the thought that went into them. I had some time to myself on Sunday and decided its been awhile since I shot the old K. I busted it out along with some of the more unconventional setups to play with. At room distances its amazing how fast and accurate you can be with the little K and no stock. Using a sling or the push pull method makes it work great. Pushing forward with a sling really mitigates recoil. Step it back to 50+ and it starts getting pretty tough. However throw on a stock and your good to go.

Ya i used to love the MP5 especially because they were used in every movie and real world usage(child of the 80s-90s) but i feel like the nostalgia has carried it into the future. Running side by side with almost everything else it is meh but god damn is she sexy.

the series does nothing for me on semi, the 87 lb shitty trigger and ergos kill the system for me. Full auto would be another story.
much better options for a semi auto PCC for me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: the MP5K and MP5K-PDW are uniquely different Are they though? HK offers the 'MP5K' with a 5.5 barrel option At that point its just pulling two pins and changing some options around Actually stand by it appears they finally addressed this in their description on their site  They however still show pics of the 5.5" option in the MP5K section. |

Prefer shooting the full size but the K is a nice option to have.
Just need my backordered B&T stock to get here for the K so I can get both guns out of the 90s.

Saw one of those briefcases up for auction several years ago. Dang, be prepared to give up your first born.
Regarding the K, well, you can't explain love. It is what it is. |

The PDW is meant to be used with a suppressor and stock giving you accurate fire out to 100 yards. With suppressor, it optimally requires the 28 degree locking piece to cycle properly and reliably.

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryThey may very well offer the K now with a threaded barrel in their modern incarnation. However, the PDW configuration is spec'd with a stock for more accurate fire to increase the effective range. The history and development of the MP5K and the subsequent PDW was narrated to us in the Gray Room by the late G3Kurz, with emphasis on the differences that make them unique. |

With suppressor, it optimally requires the 28 degree locking piece to cycle properly and reliably. Im just pointing out that the specific K is shown with a 5.5" tri lug barrel on HKs site as shown in the screen grab above. They previously even listed measurements with the 5.5" barrel in the K section along with the traditional flush barrel measurements. This is separate from the PDW that is offered also with the 5.5" and stock. |

I've got an SP5 that I actually love. As in it's my favorite gun. However, I want a SP5K and if they would have had one at the time and it wasn't marked up a $1000K over the SP5, I would have probably gotten one instead.

Sure Im not really sure what you are arguing here In reality the difference, excluding the extended barrel as already discussed, is the addition of a stock, locking piece, and different rear sight But they are the same gun otherwise. All this can be user swapped |

Quote HistoryQuoted: OP that shoulder rig is hands down the coolest accessory I have ever seen for the K. Details please!! I need this in my life!!! So start with researching Paul Evers. He made a lot of leather gear for the Brits Thats the origin of the rig Luckily for us someone finally started making a copy. A pretty true copy at that when it comes down to the design. The only noteable differences are the makers marks which Im sure is done differently to avoid confusion with a authentic Evers rig https://www.mlcustomshop.com/product-page/hk-mp5-mp5k-leather-shoulder-holster |

I use to think it was a pointless gun without a stock I certainly understand the want of a stock. I even use mine with a stock here and there But boy unconventional usage is the name of the game with the K  Just blazing fast and concealable to a point without it(the stock) and say a sling. Anymore when I take it out its usually stockless with the stock nearby in case I change my mind. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: the mp5 is for people who have a really, really hard time leaving the 80s behind I tried a bunch of 9mm guns, and sold them. Until I got to the mp5. To me, the purpose of a 9mm is to be handy, and super low recoiling for quick follow up shots. All my 9mm ar’s and other blowback 9mm’s moved more than my 5.56 guns. Once I tried the mp5 I finally found what I was looking for. There is a reason it’s the measuring stick that’s always used with 9mm subguns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do you like the Safety Harbor stock? Is there much or any wobble to it? I like it because it's compact -- if you're carrying it's damn near invisible and out of the way -- if you need it, it's substantial enough. I had a B&T side folder, and while SOLID and ergonomically comfortable, that bitch is BULKY when folded, and defeats the reason for having a small or low-profile sub. |

My wife is much more on the euro cop than the sas side of the shooting skill spectrum. Its benefit as a non shooters gun is its biggest selling point in my mind. I love shooting my two but would pick an AR over it everytime if I knew it was going to be used defensively. |

I think reverse stretch with tri lug barrel looks the best as a SBR.
As an AOW the flush original barrel is classic. |
