The AP5-SD also wears Century’s new adjustable pistol brace, which mimics the style of the original collapsible stock of the MP5. This pistol includes a faux suppressor that threads onto the barrel, giving it the classic SD look, whether you have a suppressor or not.

Century Arms also released the AP53 pistol for 2025. The roller-delayed 5.56 pistol version of the HK53 is compact but perfect for delivering the power of a full rifle cartridge. This handgun includes an adjustable brace and translucent rock-n-lock 5.56 magazines with built-in couplings.
MSRP on the AP53 is set at $1,799.99.
AP51
If you were worried that Century was going to stop at 5.56, have no fear. The company also has an AP51, the domestic pistol version of the G3. This .308-chambered handgun has an 8.3-inch barrel.
