Although not a genuine Deutsche-made H&K SP5 this is the cheap American copy of it, the PTR 9 CT. I've shot plenty of rounds through without issue. I think with the way it right now is it's perfect as a little range toy. Very easy to hit a 14" dia. gong at 100 yards. Shoots very well with 147gr subsonic loads too. No issue with flat nosed projectiles neither, surprisingly. Definitely a gun I recommend to newbies. The girls love shooting it as they think it feels like toy and has zero recoil.

It does look cool. I have always worried about the reliability.

I could go for the PTR 608 if I found one at a good price.
 
I much prefer shooting the fixed stock MP5 over the wire collapsible stock.

You don’t really need a name brand Hk… unless the brand means that much to you for some reason. The use you’re going to put it through doesn’t require HK’s level of build.

Looks like a fun shooter. Enjoy!

Have you shot both a clone and an HK MP5/SP5? Just curious as I have not, and have wondered how the difference in quality is.

I have only shot the real deal… not a clone.

But I would venture that the difference in quality is….

if you are going to be shooting thousands and thousands of rounds per year, fast roping out of helicopters, swimming with it in salt water, and generally subjecting it to severe abuse in all kinds of conditions… get an HK.

Otherwise, a clone will be just fine.
