MAGPUL SL HAND GUARD FOR HK SP89 AND MP5K
The Magpul SL Hand Guard for SP89/MP5K is a black polymer replacement handguard designed for compatible short-pattern HK roller-delayed firearms. Its lightweight, injection-molded construction incorporates M-LOK accessory attachment points while retaining the recognizable styling of the SP89 and MP5K firearm family.
An anti-slip gripping texture and an integral muzzle-end hand stop distinguish the SL design from traditional smooth polymer handguards. The handguard combines modern accessory mounting capability with the compact dimensions and appearance of the MP5K platform.
HIGH-STRENGTH POLYMER CONSTRUCTION
Magpul manufactures the SL Hand Guard from high-strength injection-molded polymer. The rigid construction is designed to provide stable fitment without requiring a user-adjusted tensioning mechanism.
The exterior includes textured gripping surfaces and contoured geometry modeled around the classic HK K-pattern handguard appearance.
M-LOK ACCESSORY ATTACHMENT POINTS
Integrated M-LOK slots are positioned along the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock surfaces of the handguard. These provide standardized mounting locations for compatible M-LOK accessories.
The compact handguard design preserves the short SP89/MP5K profile while incorporating mounting provisions not typically present on traditional K-pattern polymer handguards.
INTEGRAL FRONT HAND STOP
A prominent muzzle-end hand stop follows the traditional HK K-style handguard design. Its raised front profile provides a physical reference point at the forward end of the gripping surface.
Combined with Magpul's anti-slip texture, the hand stop is a defining ergonomic feature of the SL Hand Guard.
SP89 / MP5K PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY
Magpul specifies this handguard for SP89/MP5K-pattern firearms and compatible clones with approximately 5-inch barrels. It is the short-pattern handguard, not the longer SL Hand Guard intended for HK94 or full-length MP5 configurations.
Compatibility with specific clones, handguard mounting provisions, and nonstandard front-end configurations should be verified against the manufacturer's product instructions before installation.
CLASSIC HK APPEARANCE WITH MODERN MATERIALS
The SL Hand Guard draws on the familiar lines of traditional MP5-pattern furniture while introducing textured polymer construction and M-LOK attachment provisions. Its black finish coordinates with conventional HK-style firearm furniture.
Magpul identifies the handguard as manufactured in the United States.
