Re: Fall 2018 offerings from PSA.
I got a chance to handle their MP5 clone at shot show 2018, they only had one ,but it was put together dam nice and functioned smoothly , would have loved to have been able to shoot it. If they can keep the production models as nice and keep the price low ,they will sell a bunch of them, but they will have to function great. I have a variety of PSA stuff and I only have had one bad upper which they replaced immediately after taking a look at the barrel, it had extraction and feeding issues. Turnaround time was only 4 days after they received it back ,pretty quick response to my issue.

I think many are hoping the PSA MP5 clone delivers. I think it would have to be around $1300-$1400 to be successful though. Much more than that, and most will go to a Zenith or POF.

Wow. As much as I think the MP5 and clones are super-awesome-cool and all, in the umpteen thousand years since they were introduced, there have been about a gazillion 9mm alternatives released.
I think I could find something for half that price and be just as satisfied.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Fall 2018 offerings from PSA.
I have to agree with Emptymag there are a lot of other options out there ,I just picked the Grand Power Stribog 9mm sub gun, they are $704.00 right now. I did add a SB3A brace and extra mags, but it's still under $900. If PSA delivers what they said they where going to a MP5 clone at about $1000 ,they will sell like hot cakes. It will however have to function well and look good.

Re: Fall 2018 offerings from PSA.
The MP5 "want" is because its an MP5. There may be other new alternatives out there, with more add-on abilities, and cheaper. But is not an MP5. Same as the Uzi, everyone has this iconic image of it. Its a piece of shit heavy subgun. But it works like a Glock, and its been in front of our eyes for years as a badass weapon.
For some the MP5 is worth the wait and cost. As a suppressed weapon, it will always win. Blowback and piston guns just cant hold a candle to the delayed roller blowback in lack of sound or smoothness. At least in my opinion.

Re: Fall 2018 offerings from PSA.
I have had a lot of the MP5 clones and some actual HK's come through my shop. we are talking HK $2500 down to 1300 on POF's . Of course the HK and Zenith look great and have better finish and overall quality. The POF's work but look a little on the rough side in welds and finish. I will agree people who buy one have that want. For me in terms of practical use this type of firearm would not be on first my list. I don't care care for heavy firearms, I would prefer a glock mag 9mm ar pistol over one of these every time. I like light faster handling firearms. However it PSA can deliver a unit in the 1K range that looks sharp and functions perfect I am sure I would buy one and i would stock up on the new ETS 40 rounder mags that just got released. I just won't spend that 1700 to 2500 on another 9mm subgun.

I recently got a 9mm AR style pistol from them - takes Glock mags - and runs flawlessly - what a hoot to shoot and it was just under $500 with free shipping - LOVE IT !

Re: Fall 2018 offerings from PSA.
Absolutely true.
Also absolutely true.
Ditto.
If you want an MP5 (or clone), you want an MP5 (or clone). If you just want a semi-auto 9mm subgun, there are other options like the CZ EVO and Stribog. I wouldn't really consider a 9mm AR a PCC/subgun though, but it does fill a niche.
And everyone has a budget. You can SBR a 9mm AR for about $700. An EVO is about $1100. Probably the same for a Stribog if stocks become available. Price to SBR a POF or Zenith will approach $2k, an HK will approach $3k. Don't ya'll love the choices?!Last edited by esh21167; July 30th, 2018 at 06:18 AM.
