The Century Arms AP5 delivers authentic HK-style performance in a modern 9mm platform that bridges military heritage with civilian practicality. This semi-automatic pistol combines proven roller-delayed blowback operation with contemporary manufacturing standards for reliable performance across multiple shooting disciplines.
What Makes This Different
The AP5 utilizes the same roller-delayed blowback system found in legendary HK firearms, providing exceptionally smooth cycling and reduced felt recoil compared to traditional blowback designs. The 5.75-inch barrel optimizes velocity while maintaining compact dimensions, while the welded receiver construction ensures structural integrity under sustained fire. This design philosophy prioritizes mechanical reliability over complexity, resulting in fewer moving parts and simplified maintenance procedures.Key Features
