This truly is the year of the civilian sub-gun. From the MPX to the CZ Scorpion and all the various options in between, it seems there’s a pistol out there to suit every shooter. The reason is simple: just about everyone already owns an AR-15 and now American gun owners are moving on to more interesting range toys and potential home defense guns. While an original H&K MP5 would fill that role nicely H&K doesn’t seem interested in releasing a civilian version of that gun any time soon and proper examples cost upwards of $29,000. There is hope, however: Zenith Firearms is importing something that is about as close to the original MP5 as you can get without a tax stamp . . .

I mentioned the Zenith Z-5 pistol line earlier this year at the NRA Annual Meeting and the first impressions were very good. I followed up a little while later with the guys at Zenith and pretty soon a small package arrived at my door carrying a German designed, Turkish manufactured bundle of joy. But before we get to the gun let’s take a step back and talk about how this all came to be.
