![]() ![]() Takedown on the MPX is familiar to any shooter with experience on the AR platform. Unlike an AR that requires special upgrades, the MPX is ready to go right out of the box. In addition to the traditional AR style controls, the MPX is ambidextrous from the factory. The MPX feeds from a 30-round polymer double stack magazine. Unlike the MP5 it has an easier to manipulate safety, easier to use magazine release and a last round hold open (note the short ambidextrous safety lever in image above). This means that for many end users who are presumably already trained on that platform, the transition to the MPX is an easy one. To Sig Sauer’s credit, the controls of the MPX are very similar to those an an AR-15/M16 M4 type rifle. It has a folding arm brace, that at the time of production and this writing, classified it as a pistol in the United States despite some discussion by the ATF as to whether or not the brace would in fact make it an SBR (short barreled rifle) and subject to additional regulation. The test gun shown here is an MPX K pistol. The controls are similar to a scaled down AR-15, improving ergonomics and adding features like a last round hold open (only present on the 40 and 10mm MP5s) available in a MP5ish platform. The MPX, available in rifle, pistol and military configurations looks a lot like a grown up MP5. 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. Watch the video for the full list of features and our crew's first impressions.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. Guns & Ammo was onsite for the launch and continues to test these exciting new optics. Also launched was the enclosed-emitter Ruggedized Closed Reflex, or RCR, red dot, still adhering to the RMR footprint and distinct from competitors for its use of capstan-style screws. It also offers new electronics including a front-facing light sensor for automatic illumination adjustment, large side buttons, and the ability to switch between a dot reticle or a segmented-circle-and-dot array. Like the SRO, the RMR HD is characterized by its large lens, forward-extended housing and top-loading CR2032 battery compartment. A next-gen offering for traditional RMR customers – military, law enforcement, prepared citizens – it may be more useful to think of this product as a ruggedized SRO, Trijicon's competition-oriented pistol sight.
