Pistol Comparison...H-K vs PTR...?

I haven't seen one Youtube video where the PTR didn't have a failure to feed/eject. I looked hard at this problem and decided the Zenith was the only option. And it's not an option because presently no one imports them.

HK or nothing for now.

I used to own an H&K 91 and I currently own a PTR-91.

Not the same ones you’re talking about, but the same company.

The PTR’s I’ve seen and shot (with my circle of friends the PTR-91 is the most common semi .308’s owned) they’re in every way just as good. Except one, collector value.

If you’re looking for a shooter they’re just as good. I actually own and shoot them though, I’m not getting my information from YouTube videos.

Haven’t shot their pistols though, but I doubt it’s a different story there.

I think you have to decide if you want a nice pistol caliber carbine or an HK. From a practical standpoint paying an extra $1,000 for the HK doesn't make sense but if you want "the real deal" you might never be happy unless you have an actual HK.

I'd get a PTR, I'm glad Hk is finally importing the 9mm RDBs again, but I can only eat so much ramen.

I opted for neither. I have 2 MKE Zenith Clones. I think that the PTR is ok but is the last in line for reliability from the clones. MKE & POF are better but the PTR is a US company with better support. The HK if you can get it at the MSRP is a good deal that will not lose money. At the price people are asking for them now I would never touch one. $3000-$4000 for one is insane. It is in no way shape or form worth that.

My MKEs are great. I am glad I got them when I did.

The simple fact is that you can get the genuine article and all the oohs and aahs that go with owning an H&K or always have to say "It's just like an H&K except"....

I went with a PTR clone, and added a SBT brace and an HK handguard. I got a trilug "piston" for my SWR Octane 45 and it all seems to work fine. Would I like to have a genuine HK MP5, heck yes, am I going to buy one, No.

Ferrari or Mustang.

I'd get the HK because it will double or triple in value within 10-20 years whereas the PTR won't. That being said the PTR is a good product and a good shooter so buy it if you want to save money. This is the same scenario on a genuine Colt Single Action Army versus the Italian clones. Colt will always be worth more than a clone.

All my friends with PTR guns are always 'fixing' them. Those with HK's just shoot.

If I could decide between POF vs. MKE vs. PTR vs. HK vs. Omega vs. Sig MPX vs semi-custom MP5SD2 I’d have bought one already. I’ll probably go without until I stumble across an HK at MSRP.

My sub $500 PSA 9mm AR pistol does everything I need out of an 9mm carbine - and it takes glock mags, and has a rail for a reddot.
