I just discovered this website this week and couldn't help reading all the informative posts. You guys are awesome.
My first firearm is a P2000 which I bought last year (I love HK) and this week after discovering that there are MP5K clones out there,
I could not stop researching to figure out how to obtain a decent copy to Kali.
Please chime in.
This is what I know that are available out there:
- ATI MKE AT94K are nice clones but are no longer available/imported unless I can find one in state to PPT. I guess this applies to all cases.
- Coharie CA89k mixed reviews, and I would like a better quality pistol.
- Vector Arms SP89 has good reviews but cannot get it direct (I contacted Atlantic Firearms, they said barrel is too short)
- Bellator Arms SP89K, mixed reviews but cannot get it direct (I contacted Atlantic Firearms, they said barrel is too short)
- HK SP89 - the original. Most I see for sale in state are new and are very expensive. If I had an NIB, I'd probably won't use it. So no.
- D54KP-N Reverse-Stretch from Dakota Tactical. From HKparts.net, it says that there is a California-compliant version. I'll contact Chopstix Kid about this. Has anybody bought one for Cali?
- Others from custom builders
I called locally to ask for info. I was told that if I find a MP5K clone out-of-state, I can purchase it and have a middle man put a bullet button on it before transferring to my local dealer.
My local dealer can extend the barrel to SSE it, then revert back to short barrel after DROS. I can even AOW to put the K grip if I really wanted to. They said cannot put a stock on, because that would be SBR but that's a no go in Cali.
My local shop can get me a Bellator SP89K, but I would like a higher quality clone (and the MP5K look). I'd really like to get the D54KP-N Reverse-Stretch, but the wait maybe very long from Dakota Tactical.
Sorry, if I got any of my terminology wrong.
