LARTOTD: I've thinking about buying a handgun (and a safe to store it in and the training to use it safely) as a political statement, various friends have made recommendations and I'll probably put a summary up here, but oddly nobody recommended the Heckler & Koch MP5 . Probably 'cause obtaining one would be difficult:

Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns employ the same delayed blowback operated roller-locked bolt system found in the famous HK G3 Automatic Rifle. All the elements of HK excellence; reliability, ease of handling, simple maintenance, and safety are highlighted on the MP5. Firing from the closed-bolt position during all modes of fire makes MP5 submachine guns extremely accurate and controllable.
