For the first, full size. Get the K second. Yes I know you said only one. Two is one. One is none.
And realistically at current prices you can buy two for the price of one last year. |

I’d justify both.
A real HK SP5 semi is $2900 The really nice MKE are like $1100 each. You’re saving money getting two over the HK one (only diff is roll mark on the side). You’re welcome. |

I just ordered a PTR 9KT, which should arrive on Thursday, so I voted “K” with my wallet.

I’ll reluctantly say full size. I’ve got both (non HK’s) and they are both awesome.
 Also, A2 stock is best to shoot with, A3 is coolest looking, and A3F is kinda a nice compromise. Mine usually wears the A3F.  But the K is just sexy:

I have a H&K Mp5-A3. I have 2 Ap5P’s (Mp5k)
I vote Mp5K. With the stocks available….you really gain in compactness over the standard Mp5.  Attached File |

I had a full size HK94, it was fun but meh.
Now I have an MP5k-PDW clone and prefer it.

If you're going to only have one, you've got to go Die Hard.
I went with all 3 versions. Still works in progress.

Full size is classic, but I went with K clone.
Shorter is better. Especially when suppressed. |

I have a SBR K.
No regerts. But will get a full size eventually. The MKE deal is too good to pass up. |

I got the K and love it.
But if my brother didn't have a full size I would have probably gotten one. Either one is gonna be a blast |

Of the 2, the full sized.
That’s the one I usually pick for the range using a registered sear. |

If I had a need, the ready funds to waste, and the desire... I'd get an MP5SD with collapsible stock.
No other MP5 interests me. |

You’re welcome. Yea whatever First we have to assume the steel and heat treat are as good as the German guns. Next the Action 3 is a real advancement especially the ejector but for longer term durability the action 3 bolt changes extended the life 60%. These MKE former HK contract guns offer a great value and I think 90% are good guns but they are absolutely not HK quality. Too many misaligned triple frames, older spec parts and softer steels. |

If it wasn’t a true K and has an extended barrel and 3 lug suppressor attachments I’d go with a rear stretch K.

A K with a telescoping stock defeats the purpose of the K. The stock adds all the length back but you’re left with a shorter sight radius and shorter barrel. |

I really have to say both. The rate of fire on the MP5K is hilariously fast, like 1000 RPM and even faster with a can, so that's always fun. But the fullsize MP5 is perfect ROF and very enjoyable to shoot.

It’s a tough decision but I went with the full size. I shoot it suppressed 99% of the time and didn’t want to mess with the locking piece on the K.
That being said, I’ve been considering getting a K as well and probably will someday. |

I bought the full size. All I could find. And I ran across it by chance. I’d love a K model to go along with it.

OP should have done this one properly and that means
MP5A3 vs MP5K-PDW and while the PDW is super cool the MP5 wins and this comes from a guy who use to own both with happy switches. |

Do you need to change the locking piece on the K to make it cycle supressed? From what I understand, only if you shoot the ever lovin shit out of it suppressed. I don't think it's necessary for my needs, but I'll probably still get it done one day because I seriously doubt I'll ever shoot mine loud |
