The Century Arms SP5 delivers authentic HK-style performance in a civilian-legal pistol configuration. This 9mm platform combines German engineering heritage with modern manufacturing to provide shooters with a reliable, accurate firearm that excels in both recreational and professional applications.
What Makes This Different
Built on the proven roller-delayed blowback system, the SP5 operates without a traditional gas system, resulting in smoother cycling and reduced fouling. The cold hammer-forged barrel and precision-machined receiver deliver consistent accuracy that surpasses direct blowback competitors. This operating system generates less felt recoil than comparable pistol caliber carbines, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved control during rapid fire sequences.
Key Features
- Roller-delayed blowback action for smooth, reliable cycling
- Cold hammer-forged 8.9-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate
- 30-round capacity with last-round bolt hold-open
- Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release
- Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
- Diopter rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation
- Compatible with standard HK-pattern magazines and accessories
The SP5's compact dimensions and balanced weight distribution make it suitable for competitive shooting, training applications, and home defense scenarios. The roller-delayed system maintains consistent velocities across various ammunition weights, from 115-grain to 147-grain loads. Weather-resistant coating and corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable function in adverse conditions, while the precision trigger group provides a crisp break for accurate shot placement.
