While the MP5 was always a bit of an icon, other platforms never really challenged it until Sig Sauer introduced the MPX. It was as close as you could get to an MP5 (one of the cooler guns around in the mid-90s, and some would argue still is today), sure the long thin barrel looked a little dopey, but hey, it was as good as it got. It was a short lived purchase and I’m unsure why I sold it. I literally spent my life savings (until that point in time) to buy it. One day I was talking to one of the senior guys in my unit and he offered to sell me a 9mm HK rifle- that rifle turned out to be an HK94. I believe at this point in my life, I had owned a Mini-14 in Choate stock, a Colt AR-15 SP1, and maybe a K1A1 (I’m unsure of the chronology). A young Marine making next to nothing, I saved what I could to buy the guns I wanted. I apologize for the lateness, but sometimes pandemics get in the way.īack in 1995 I was a 19 year-old that was new to guns and gun collecting. That’s the same March of 2019 that the COVID-19 pandemic took hold where I live and had the immediate effect of shuttering nearly everything and this post was put on the back burner. I’ve been sitting on this Sig Sauer MPX K review for a long time- over two years! I first had it at the range in March of 2019.
