The SP5 was developed by Heckler & Koch as a semiautomatic, civilian sporting pistol that matches the look and feel of the legendary MP5 submachine gun. 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. The backbone of the SP5 is the roller-delayed blowback operating system, which is legendary for its accuracy, reliability, and smooth shooting dynamic. Originally perfected on the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle, it has been used on several other HK firearms still serving today around the world. The SP5 is manufactured in Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany. It retains many of the critical elements of the MP5, including its 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. For more comfortable shooting, the SP5 is equipped with an elastic “bungee” sling. The sling is easily installed by snapping it onto the sling swivel hardware located on the rear of the receiver. Using the sling makes firing the SP5 more stable and reduces fatigue. A wide variety of accessories can be added to increase its functionality. As the world’s most popular pistol-caliber carbine platform, the SP5 is supported by an aftermarket loaded with lots of great accessories, from rails and handguards all the way up to everything you need to make your own legally-registered short-barreled rifle*.

HK SP5 Pistol Features

The HK SP5 Pistol is a semi-automatic, stockless version of the venerable and world-famous MP5.  It operates on a roller-delayed action that delivers a very soft recoil impulse while offering a level of reliability that is unachievable from direct-blowback actions.  The SP5 uses the standard-length 8.86 inch barrel that includes a 3-lug suppressor mount as well as a 1/2x28-UNEF-2B thread allowing users to mount muzzle devices and suppressors.  

HK SP5 Pistol Capacity

The HK SP5 is chambered in 9x19mm and feeds from double-stack, double-feed magazines.  This gun uses the same magazines as all other MP5 platforms giving it a standard capacity of 30 rounds, however 10 and 20 round mags are available as well as 50-round drum magazines.


Measuring 17.8 inches long with an unloaded weight of only 5.1 pounds, the SP5 can easily be carried over long durations making it an excellent tool for private security.  Its short length allows users to easily navigate through close-quarter environments making it a very handy home-defense gun as well as a reasonable “truck gun”.  Even without a stock, the SP5 can be used effectively thanks to the open-notch setting cut into the diopter rear sight.

HK SP5 Pistol Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The SP5 handles and operates identically to the MP5 with its semi-automatic roller-delayed action.  Its lack of a front grip leads many users to place their support hand around the magazine well, however its triangular cross section offers a familiar rifle-like feel.  Its charging handle is just like the original in its ability to lock the bolt to the rear and it retains the “slap me, I’ve been naughty” characteristics everyone loves about the charging handle.


HK SP5 Pistol Fit & Finish

The SP5 is built on a stamped steel receiver set that is known to survive well over 20,000 cycles.  It is built with the same grade and gauge steel as the MP5 and is finished with the same black-nitride coating.  The trigger housings are made of a high-strength polymer that are friction-welded together.  


Fit and Finish

HK SP5 Pistol Concealability

Concealability
The SP5 measures just shy of 18 inches long, measures less than 2 inches wide and stands about 8 inches tall without the magazine making it very easy to toss into a bag to carry on a hiking trip, thus giving you a reasonable tool to keep your campsite safe from feral woodland critters.  For security guards, the SP5 can effectively be concealed under an oversized jacket if fitted with shorter 10 and 20 round magazines and a little bit of smart placement.
