I really want one of these, but they are expensive. I went the cheaper route for a 9mm sub gun and bought a Palmetto State Armory AK V, a clone of the Russian Vityaz Special Forces sub gun. Very impressed with and it was only $850. Works like an AK and first 100 rounds had no hiccups.
I have had one for over a year. Never any problems with it. Thank you for the excellent video. Mine seems to work well with 124 grain fmj ammo. I agree about the roller locking systems. My HK91 is a smooth operating rifle. I put the heavy buffer and an FSC91 compensator and the recoil now is less than an AK. I also like the Midwest Industries handguards that came on my 9CT. Though they aren't the originals, I prefer the utility of the M-Loc slots.
Remind s me of the MP5 I used in the Tire City Range on the compound at FT Bragg, NC. Good Shooter. But I found an outstanding very accurate 9mm carbine Rifle the Ruger PC 9 Carbine.I put a 4x scope on it and out to 200 yards can keep the rounds in the kill zone with the standard FBI Targets. At 100 yard shots on clay targets placed on the backstop, Dirt mounds are no problem, when the round hits they turn to dust. I had a PTR Rifle in 5.56/.223 kinda like my old G3 Style H&K 91 in.308 they are made here locally and are very hard to get.
The MP5 and the MP7 are phenomenal! I like This PTR and may pick one up if I can find one. I was actually able to find a SP5 in stock at my local gun store and was shocked lol. Their are so many people say that the MP5 and its clones are so outdated for today but honestly I feel like slapping them because obviously they haven't ever shot one they are still perfection in the PCC market. Thank you for your outstanding videos!
I really want a full auto MP5, but being cheap, and needing instant gratification won’t allow for that...lol! I will definitely take a look at the PTR. Thanks for sharing, Chief! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
It had a tendency to pull to the left throughout. I was looking at one of these without all the bells and whistles the other day at a local store. Love to get one as a 9mm companion ti my commercial M9 Beretta. But don’t have the budget and i have a few other guns higher on priority list. Great video
Soo how has the PTR601 been doing we need a update! Also since Magpul came out with their extended safety I have gotten three all work great on my HK91 and two 93s they are an awesome addition!
My PTR91 is my primary rifle, I really like the delayed roller a lot. That hard wall trigger is something to get used to, but once you master it the rifle will shoot very well. Hoping that the price will come down to the same as a PTR91 at some point, ~$1,600 for a pistol caliber carbine, even at high quality, is enough to make a man flinch. Thanks for making these videos.
We all have need for full auto fire :) We finally have the opportunity to have an HK94, it looks like HK saw the demand, and came out with their $P5 and $P5K. I want/need the PTR rifle version, and just add the faux suppressor to hide the 16" barrel.
Thanks for posting this vid - I found it very helpful and entertaining! Stupid question - can you share the brand of your field jacket? I would like to pick one up!
Thanks, if it had been a little better day I would have done some more shooting, but a freezing rain started to fall and I had to get my cameras out of it.
Great video! Loved the technical aspect as well as the great shooting! The tac driving is a favorite. How did you like the AR height Holosun?would you prefer a lower optic mount? Thanks
Thank you again sir. The Missouri Dept of Conservation is just now redefining what a "handgun" means in their regulations. Times are changing, some more, again.
I’ve had mine over a year now, had issues with FTE”s at first but that problem has seemed to of worked itself out. It’s been running flawlessly the last 1000 rounds or so. I also bought an original style MP-5 foregrip, now it looks even more bad ass!
@@hrfunk shootabilty is great for healthy nonbroken folk, suffering a severe spinal chord injury, my deff of shootabilty is just being able to get to the range and squeeze a few out. It sucks, my old man has bested the trigger as much as we can go without accidentally shooting your self when u pick it up or put it down. We now focus on my son with training, if shot goes south i can still swing a scattergun(edit we must first escape the peoples republic of nj) end trans
I like that KAK fake can as it pushes blast and sound forward on the range. Nice for adjacent shooters. Also in a confined space. Not so big a deal on the 9mm, but especially in larger calibers like 7.62x39.
Bottom line: it’s an American made (South Carolina) MP5 (SP5 for civilians). It works. It’s $2500-3000 cheaper than the HK, and $1,000 cheaper than Century Arms’ new clone.
I have to say I had shot the UZI in the USMC back in the early 90s then we went to MP-5 man pull the trigger and 30rnds in a tiny hole very controllable . I have never shot it semi but I can say this I have an HK93 and 91 both have min recoil especially the HK93 that had almost no recoil. The roller lock guns is just training you need time with this system to get use to the manual of arms.
Thanks for the comment Todd. I think the only drawback to the roller lock system is it's expensive to manufacture. That's why HK came out with the UMP which, in my opinion, is an inferior firearm to the MP-5.
Yeah their are some cons for sure one for me is no bolt lock back after last shot, Charging handle is to forward can be a pain on the HK91 & 93 series and if you don,t have a paddle mag release it can be a pain to remove the magazine. On my C93 it was such a pain with no paddle mag release that I finally broke down had them installed on my two roller lock 93 guns. Oh and anything that has HK is a Million dollars! Now with that out of the way they are very accurate very low recoil guns I prefer shooting my HK93 guns to my AR15s.
@@hrfunk Oh I agree if you ever shot a UMP on full auto its a very up and down recoil very nasty compared to the MP-5 series and I believe that's why the UMP wound up a commercial failure and why most LEO dept's / military kept the MP-5 series. HK was going to end the MP-5 series in 2018 but the push back from Law enforcement and Military communities forced HK to keep the MP-5 series going while they ended the G-3 or HK91 and HK33/53 or HK93 series back in 2017.
I have to say I had the chance to shoot a Colt 9mm DOE gun when I crossed trained with the I was taken back at the stout recoil it had it kinda surprised me I thought after shooting MP5s and Uzi 9mm I figured the Colt would be about the same? I found out it was not it wasnt so bad but it wasn't an UZI recoil or MP5 recoil either!
Hrfunk, do you get any forward to back wobble in the steel mags? Mine locks in but they are fairly wiggly with the KCI mags. The only ones that fit snug are the ETS poly mags. Been the only issue I have. They are loose on bolt open and tighten up on bolt close. Also the franklin binary trigger in that firearm is superb. It’s a whole new experience.
Too many guns? That's like saying you have too much money, or your wife is too good looking (well, actually those two things work in opposite directions). So just simplify your life and buy another gun!
So I think I am getting me one after this video it kinda got me going and thinking on this so much so I think I will pull the trigger on one probably Form-1 it like I did with my Vector Uzi.
Have you had any issues with your 9ct ? Judging by online reviews it seems your either get a good one or a horrible one. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, on the fence about buying a 9ct now
The one I used in the video was borrowed. That said, it worked very well for me. I put several hundred rounds through it and it never missed a beat. The accuracy was good and it was easy to shoot well. I can't speak for the entire product line, but I was impressed with the one I used in the video.
@@hrfunk Most of the mags were 9BPLE, ..that's 90% sure what it was. That system handles it just fine due to the bolt weight, spring, and overall design and total weight.
Move here to Arizona we need more 2A supporters here to counter the California influx we are getting. They are running from the high taxes and cost of living but are bringing their Cali ways. So frustrating. I would say fight for your rights in Mass but i believe you guys may be to far gone.
@@hrfunk Yes, I like it for that reason too, can still use the HK irons. BTW, Damn, you really were on the money with it at a fair distance. Impressive shooting after a minor optics adjustment. Surprising accuracy for a smg variant-short barrel in my opinion.
@hrfunk Thanks for your reply! I was under the impression that the barrel length and cartridge size is what classifies something as a rifle/carbine/pistol. I'll have to refresh on the "rules". Have a good day and keep up the awesome content 🇺🇸
The rules are sometimes confusing even to those of us who are familiar with them. It doesn’t help matters when some people use improper terminology (like calling a rifle a carbine). That lust adds to the confusion.

I'd like to see H.R. Funk ring the gong with a snubby. I'm sure he can do it, but I''d like to see it. But anyways, the milk bottle is dead.
Very nice pistol. PTR has pretty much mastered the roller lock. I have the PTR 91 and love it. You're gonna have a ball with that one. Stay frosty.

No, I did not.
That looks like a lot of fun. Carried an MP-5 on the job for a while. Styer AUG-P and then M-4 at the end
