UMP9: Hands on with the Heckler & Koch

[BET7]

Good article on H&K's UMP9. What's the betting line on whether or not Hans owns one (you can be sure he's fired one).

UMP9: Hands on with the Heckler & Koch - The Mag Life

The HK UMP (including the UMP9 from these photos) is the Jan Brady of sub-guns. It's stuck, mostly unloved, between the MP5 and the MP7.

Unfortunately, I do not have one...I’ve actually never handled a UMP9.

I can say, though, that the UMP45 is a whole lotta fun, and crazy quiet with the B&T can designed for it. It would be a complete toss up over that, or a MP5SD as my ultimate home defense “long” gun.

Wow, I would have lost money betting that you at least shot one. But the UMP45 came close, so I consider it a push.

I remember when the (USC civilian version thanks @HansGruber ) UMP 45 first came out to the civilian market and you could buy them at the Sports Authority sporting goods chain.

That would’ve been the USC...the neutered version. Fixed stock, 10rd mags (and magwell modified to only accept 10rd mags), 16” barrel with no threads/device. Very hard to modify to UMP configuration due to a modified receiver...but it can be done.

The UMP is the real deal, full auto SMG.
