Man, I want an SP5 so bad but only have $2500 to spend. I really was tempted by the PTR but folks have me paranoid about getting a lemon or a wobbly magazine catch

There are many people who have clones that function flawlessly and people are generally satisfied with them.

Every gun can have issues. I've read people having issues with the real deal sp5's.

Make no mistake though, PTR has had their fair share as well. Guess I got lucky because both of mine work great.

@Nutro
They are readily available for between $2850-$3000.
If you "only have"  $2500 and can't afford to spend $350 more on a $2500 gun then maybe look at cheaper options because real german stuff is expensive like mags are $70 a piece, and if you decide to add stuff to it like the KAC rail or decide to SBR it with the german stock good luck. Another thing to keep in mind is election time is right around the corner. I can't even find brass 9mm for 20 cents a round no more and it's not even election time as yet. Moral of the story: get what you can afford now. (PTR).

PTR9C with Omega 9K. Just got the stamp the other day after waiting 324 days. Oh how I miss the days of waiting a month or two for my Form 4’s. Just ordered a finger groove trigger housing from HK Parts. We’ll see how long that takes. I also need to get a couple factory mags.

Any reason to pick the 9C over the 9CT? Asking due to one of them being my next purchase and my Omega 9K should be out of jail any time now.


@AZgunner

At the time when I purchased the 9C, I wanted the CT for the added flexibility (in my mind), however that model simply wasn’t in stock anywhere at the time. I bought this gun last fall when the debates were heating up and Ole Beto let the cat out of the bag. I’m sure the lack of threading will some how discourage possible future buyers if for some reason, I decide to sell this gun one day. That being said, personally I don’t see me selling this one. It functions flawlessly and now that I have used the 3 lug, I really wish other suppressors attached this way. Just hypothetically speaking, I would expect that the simple threading may loosen during shooting which I’m sure you can imagine is a bit problematic. I say buy which ever you want, but attach your can with a 3 lug adaptor.

Sounds good. I plan to attach my can exclusively via 3 lug, so I don't know that the threaded barrel really adds any functionality for me. I also don't plan on ever selling it. So I'll probably just get whichever is in stock at the best price, like you did.

About to pull the trigger on a PTR 9CT. I've read mostly positive reviews and am hoping for good results. I'll be running it through a decent break in period and then testing it with my suppressor before I SBR it.

9CT from Atlantic? I’ve been thinking about adding a clone. Seems like the full size gets better reviews than their K model.

I have it up in the browser every night, but haven’t thrown down the money yet.

I pulled the trigger this morning on a 9CT from Atlantic to try out. Grabbed a KAC Ras off the EE to go with it.

I see the folding and collapsible braces.. any one tried both and have a preference? I'll probably SBR but would be nice to have a brace to throw on when I cross state lines..

And of course, the day I log on to Atlantic to order it, they're sold out. God damn it.

As far as braces, I've heard good things about both. I personally like the look of the B&T style side folder. I'm also debating on whether or not to buy a brace. I'm leaning towards just immediately putting that money into a form 1. The braces are cool, but they're wildly overpriced.

If anyone buys the PTR a KAC ras needs a slight trim to fit.. had to file these ears down to get the front bolt in. Hit it with some cold blue, good to go.




Threw a SB brace on until the form 1 clears, scored an adjustable and fixed stock on the EE.



Next to my Walther made .22 MP5 clone SBR.

ArmsUnlimited has HK factory mp5 mags for $69 if anyone is looking.. I picked up 4 along with 2 KCI gen 2 mags to try.

My humble addition.
I picked up a PTR 9CT from Atlantic as well. The pistol went through QC on 7/10 according to the checklist, I picked it up on the 27th from my LGS. They must be selling quite a few of them.

Picked up the handguard, and some extractor springs. More mags on order. Trying to decide on which brace to go with. The Safety Harbor / Tailhook combo looks pretty good.
