I know they're nothing new... Anyone on the OB have one of these?

I just picked one up from PSA for $319.99 just for shits and giggles.

Reviews are pretty much good to great. With no practical application, I bought one just because I can...







The folding pistol braces are higher than I imagined but I'll shop around for one.. Recommendations welcomed

I have the 9mm, awesome gun. Got my brace at Bowie Outfitters for around $200.

This a popular co-witness mount on the HK forum-- mount -- HK store has a few-- rails Replacing the hand guard opens up a bunch of options as well

Shoot it before you add an optic, Iron sights are pretty dang good imo.

Get ready to want the 9mm. I have a Zenith with 3 lug adapter. You can get the folding SB brace for $120 from a few places. Get a good .22 can and have fun.

I have the SP5k and it’s probably the most fun to shoot (APC9 is up there as well).

I’m saving for the B&T telescoping brace or the KES. Have the B&T on the APC and partial to that but they aren’t cheap.

That’s it. It’s good to go. Really not bad for the $$$.

Going to go collapse in the future with Tailhook

So I see a lot with the front iron site still on with red dots.... I assume you can't remove it?

Be careful. I bought one and ended up "needing" an HK SP5.... which "needed" SBR'ding, IR laser, telescopic stock etc.

Both are a blast to shoot and SO much fun suppressed. Lots of front/rear stock options.

I have the scalaworks mount so I can still use irons. I am going to get the MFI low profile rail mount so I can get more irons in my sight picture. I wouldn’t remove the front sight.

Low profile mount

That's what this board does to people

I have a S&W Shield, VP9, a Canik and probably other firearms because of the OB

You go all out and get the SP5K or the 22 version?

Went with the 22, I also ordered the same stock.

I have an extra Romeo 7 that i'll probably add to it, is that low profile adapter posted above the best option for mounting an optic?

Any options for replacing the handguard? I see magpul has one but reddit reviews are saying it will need modifications to fit.

Love me some HK but the Zenith is made in the US on HK tooling. They have a great warranty. I have close to 500 rds through mine with only 1 FTF. The Zenith is almost half the price of the HK. Bought mine from Sportsmans guide for $1450 total.

Mine. Really fun. Easy to zip thru 500 rounds really quickly and quietly with my suppressor. I added the stock.

Does someone make a 3-lug .22 can or adaptor?
