Customer Reviews for German Sports Guns MP-40 Semi Automatic 9mm Pistol

I just got back from the range. I shot 115 grain target ammo thru the it. I shot 100 rounds and had 0 miss feeds. I shot at 20 yards and was pleased with the accuracy. Hitting center of the target. Even did pretty good when firing as fast as I could. I did get the ATF tax stamp so I could put a folding stock on, making it a SBR. I held the SBR like you hold a rifle. I did not put my hand close to the magazine. I think that’s why some people gave this a bad review, saying it jams, on YouTube. Also I bought a second magazine. That are hard to load and I needed a mag loader. The trigger has a long take up. The trigger pull itself is short. Overall I like the gun. It cost as much to make it in to a SBR as the gun itself. The only negative I really have.

Really fun gun to shoot and great quality and mags.

Took this baby to the range last week and I have to say I'm impressed that it chambered and ran hollow points! I ran 124 grain SMJHP by Ammo incorporated No ftf or jams once so ever I can say that I can actually rely on it with my life and it is very fun to shoot😊 one thing is it won't feed all hollow points, the projectile cant have a wide hollow and cant have a sharp end or it will get hung on the feed ramp, If use hollow points must have either a flex tip or a more narrow hollow point, it likes Hornady and Ammo incorporated so far as i know from experience you can always try other hollows and see if they work

Fun! Fun! Fun! Easy to operate. Fun to shoot. Great for re-inactors.

Awesome reproduction of an MP-40! It works out of the box chewing up the cheapest 9mm I can find with ease. No hiccups with this weapon after a few hundred rounds.

Pretty cool for what it is.. Some will experience FTF/FTE probs. Again these aren't Class III so, yeah. Never had a lot of luck with polishing feed ramps etc of the 3 Ive owned & sent back to GSG. I wouldnt trust my LIFE to it. But looks cool

Very close copy to the real thing. Shooting from the hip or slightly higher is different but holding to actually use the sights would feel very weird. a laser would help but that doesn't seem to fit with the gun's appeal. Without a stock or brace, it's definitely a range toy. I wouldn't use it for selfdefense.

When I took this gun out to the target range I knew that I’d get some people’s attention. If you want to talk with others at a target buy this gun. Even though it’s not an original WWII full auto gun it still will have people coming over to get a better look. I only tried shooting it at 50 yards, which is a good distance for this gun. It shot and fed FMJ ammo flawlessly. I didn’t try flat point or hollow point ammo in it yet. It got a 3”-4” groups. I had it on a bench rest and propped up the back part with a sand bag under the pistol grip. With the long magazine it’s not too easy to shoot on a rest but it can be done. I couldn’t rapid fire it at my gun club because they don’t allow that. Makes it a little boring. This gun is really fun if you can fire it just standing and firing it towards the target. It’s not really for accurate shooting but it did get some good groups at 50 yards. The magazines are pretty expensive. I have 7 now. One in the gun and the other 6 in reproduction MP-40 magazine pouches. Magazines cost around $50.00/piece. For awhile I couldn’t find any so when they were available again I bought 4-5 more. I don’t know how long they’ll be available so I bought more when I could. They’re 25-round magazines, made in Germany, but I’ve seen that you can buy 10-round magazines too. It’s very well made in Germany. All the lettering on the gun are highlighted in white. There’s two flip-up rear sight blades. The front sight posts can be replaced with several different height posts to more accurately set the gun to the distance that you want to shoot the gun. The different post sight heights are included with the gun. I really like this gun as it’s the closest I will get to a real MP-40. My gun club doesn’t allow full auto guns anyway. It’s a really fun gun to shoot, looks great and really gets people’s attention at the target range. You can purchase a folding metal stock for it, like the originals had but need to register the gun if installed. Magazines and the folding metal stock are available through GSG. Other online companies sell the 10 or 25 round magazines too.

This gun is a blast to shoot. Lets you have a feel for a WWII weapon. Zero cycling issues. Would buy again.

Awesome gun, true to the original

nice shooting little pistol

It takes a bit to figure out but once you do its a very fun and reliable gun

This is so much fun. A lot of shooters wanted one or mine. I could have sold it a couple of times. Functions perfectly. Bud's was right on with service and delivery. They are top of the stack.

This gun is awesome. The only con is that it only like brass ammo.

excellent replica very tight very accurate love it, just wished it had the brace

I was really excited when I purchased this and couldn't wait to get it!!! Right out of the box and to the range this MP40 was dead accurate. I was impressed for sure. It comes with 4 front sights and 1 mag, which I think it should come with two. Smooth action, hardly any recoil, killer addition to any WWII buff for sure. However, I had Winchester and blazer rounds and the Winchester ran through smoothly while the blazer rounds would jam every time on the last round. There's a great video on Youtube comparing an original MP40 and the reissue from GSG. They did a great job in recreating this piece.

I have gone to the range twice and both times I have had no problems . It’s easy to clean and to dissemble.
My only problem is only one magazine . I would to buy extra magazines but they are not available.

Pretty fun gun to shoot, glad i purchased it. Was kind of hesitate from it jamming from reviews but she worked fine. Glad to pull the plug and buy it. Buds gun shop made it too easy to get it as well. Thank you for making my first gun buying easy.

Just got the gun yesterday and went to test fire it. First clip I had no issues, however on the second clip every round misfired with either a light strike to the primer or no strike at all. Further inspection of the firearm I found some bacon bit sized pieces of metal, 8 in total, in the bolt where the firing pin is located. After taking the bolt apart (to about 30-45 minutes since everything was jammed up) and cleaning that out there were no more issues with the firearm. I just recommend cleaning out the bolt and removing the firing pin and spring to make sure that nothing else is in there causing any issues. Rating at 3 stars since there was somewhat of a deep dive in cleaning beyond what the manual describes and fixing when there shouldn't have been.

This is a really fine reproduction of the original with some slight differences. Of course it's only semi-auto so if I would recommend watching a video to view the small changes if interested. Actually, the modern version is improved design. Excellent German manufacture and a great gun to shoot and demonstrate.

This is a neat collection gun. Does not like steel ammo and jams if it isn’t given brass rounds. Other than that, it’s a good plinker.

Love Buds gun shop, I recommend any person check out their website or if you live in Lexington go to the local store very pleased with my purchase.

I bought mine and got 3 mods from Atlantic wall blanks. To fix the Charging handle issues the long trigger pull and a muzzle nut that looks like the original. I didn't need the last one I just wanted it but It shoots fucking amazingly and with those upgrades, it went from a good firearm to an outstanding firearm At this point, I could definitely use this as a home defense weapon and I would have zero worries. If you love WW2 weapons please do your self a favor and get one. I would for sure purchase upgrades or make them your self. Because otherwise, it does have a few issues.

This reproduction Mp40 is my favorite gun. I was surprised at how flawless it goes through rounds without any problems. Its well made.

It's great. I didn't expect such a speed of delivery of the order.
