The HK SP5K-PDW is the semi-automatic civilian version of the MP5K, chambered in 9mm. HK builds it in Oberndorf, Germany, on the same lines as the military MP5.
The HK MP5K is one of the best-known compact submachine guns ever built, and the SP5K-PDW is Heckler & Koch's semi-automatic civilian sporting version of it.
What makes it special is where and how it's made. The SP5K-PDW is built at HK's factory in Oberndorf, Germany, on the same production lines and by the same workforce that make military MP5s. It uses the same precision-machined parts and the same roller-delayed blowback operating system, a big part of why the MP5 is known for being smooth and controllable.
It's chambered in 9x19mm. The 5.83-inch barrel carries a Navy-style threaded tri-lug adaptor on 1/2x28 threads, the classic MP5 mounting for a suppressor or other muzzle devices. The pistol measures 13.8 inches long and weighs 4.2 pounds without a magazine. Iron sights with an adjustable rear diopter give a 10.2-inch sight radius.
Controls include an ambidextrous two-position safety and a paddle magazine release. HK includes two 30-round magazines, or two 10-round magazines where required, and the finish is black. The PDW version is set up to accept a stabilizing brace or stock adapter at the rear, depending on how you plan to configure it and what your local laws allow.
If you've always wanted an MP5K, the SP5K-PDW is as close as a civilian can get to the real thing. It's German-made, it runs the famous roller-delayed action, and it carries the HK name. Check your state and local rules for braced pistols before you buy.
