Zenith Firearms ZF-5P 9mm 5.8" 30rd Essentials Package Pistol

The Zenith Firearms ZF-5P splits the difference between the short ZF-5K and the full size ZF-5 with a 5.8" cold hammer forged barrel. The muzzle has a three lug mount threaded 1/2-28. It runs the roller delayed blowback action that made the MP5 famous: the rollers hold the bolt until pressure drops, which smooths out recoil.

This is the Essentials Package, the no frills way into the platform. The box holds the pistol, one 30 round magazine, a soft carry case and the user manual. Buyers pick their own optic mount and sling. Sights are a protected front post with an adjustable rear diopter drum, and the hand stop forearm and polymer grip give it the look and feel MP5 fans expect. A manual thumb safety handles the controls, and Zenith backs the gun with a limited lifetime warranty.
