Columbus, Georgia \u2014 Heckler & Koch is proud to announce the US availability of the HK SP5, the only authentic sporting version of the legendary MP5 submachine gun available.<\/p>\n
The SP5 was developed by HK as a semiautomatic,\u00a0civilian sporting pistol that matches the look and\u00a0feel of the legendary MP5 submachine gun.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur whole team is very proud and very excited to finally bring the SP5 to the US,\u201d HK-USA COO\/CSO Mike Holley said. \u201cThe MP5 isn\u2019t just a customer favorite, it\u2019s an HK employee favorite too. So, we are just thrilled to roll out the most authentic semiautomatic-only version of it we\u2019ve seen in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n
Designed and manufactured to meet the definition of a civilian pistol, the SP5 is loaded with authentic features, like a Navy barrel with threaded tri-lug adaptor, paddle magazine release and fluted chamber.<\/p>\n
The backbone of the SP5 is the roller-delayed blowback operating system, which is legendary for its\u00a0accuracy, reliability, and smooth shooting dynamic. Originally perfected on the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle,\u00a0it has been used on several other HK firearms still serving today around the world.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0SP5 is manufactured in Heckler & Koch\u2019s Oberndorf factory in\u00a0southwest Germany. It retains many of the critical elements of the MP5, including\u00a0its precision-machined components and attention to detail. This high level of quality and workmanship is a result of making the SP5 in the same factory, on the same lines, and by the same workforce that has been making MP5s for years.<\/p>\n
A wide variety of accessories can be added to increase its\u00a0functionality. As the world\u2019s most popular pistol-caliber carbine platform, the MP5 and SP5 are supported by an aftermarket loaded with lots of great accessories.<\/p>\n
The SP5 is shipping now. MSRP is $2,799.<\/p>\n
