Apparently HK is set to release at least two new SP5 pistol variants in the US soon. One will be regular MP5 sized. The other will have a 16” barrel. There will possibly be an updated SP5k that has a tri-lug and paddle magazine release as well. It looks like none will have braces so you’ll have to add your own or Form 1 it and add a real stock. Here is a link to an HKPro thread on the topic where numerous posters stated their dealers confirmed this to be true and allowed them to preorder: https://www.hkpro.com/forum/hk-talk/.../502536?page=1. Be warned, it’s a large thread and the beginning is mostly people calling bullshit on the announcement.
Based on the MSRP of the SP5k, I’m guessing they’ll be offered somewhere in the $2500 range. I’m pretty excited since I wanted an MP5 variant since I saw Die Hard as a kid. It would be awesome to have one with all the modern updates actually made by HK instead of one of the Turkish or Pakistani licensed copies. Time to start saving my pennies.
You’re all welcome. I apologize to your bank accounts and spouses in advance.
Mods, I’m posting this in Semiauto Pistols because they’re being released as pistols, but please feel free to move it if this thread would be a better fit in another sub forum.
