I stumbled upon this PDF on HK's site (the moved the publication sections again, this time under their products section). It offers some updates on the 433. Next to be released it seems are the 433 PDW (HK437 rebarreled to 5.56mm), the HK254 PCC/SMG family, and the HK231. The 231 again will standardize on HK's new AR-10/SR-25-style mags. My guess is that these will be released over the next year or so. There'll also be a 231 in 6.5mm Creedmoor, and the HK132 (7.62x39mm) and a HK231 in 7.62x54R that'll take SVD mags.

Now it seems that the fleet of Sig MCXs in Schleswig-Holstein will be replaced by HK437s:

HK437 has found a new customer, this time special units of the German Army it seems will use it as the G39:

Spezialkräfte der Bundeswehr beschaffen HK437 als Sonderwaffe schallgedämpft Spezialkräfte G39

Die Bundeswehr hat den Schwarzwälder Handwaffenspezialisten Heckler & Kock mit der Herstellung und Lieferung der sogenannten Sonderwaffe schallgedämpft Spezialkräfte beauftragt. Die auf der HK437 basierende Waffe im Kaliber .300 Blackout (7,62 x 35 mm) wird unter der Bezeichnung G39 in die...

Some of you may or may not be big fans of TFB, but they're probably our best shot at a good English language review of things at the HK booth at Enforce Tac. And in fact, here's one of the HK437/G39:

Longish video (in German) of the G39 and other members of the HK433/437 family:

I'd like a verdict on the 433/437 if you were the one choosing the control layout: paddle mag release or push button? I know that it'll depend a lot on which system you prefer or train on the most, be it AR-15 or G36. But does anyone have a preference?

Paddle mag release of course - but I wouldn't kick the push button out of bed for eating crackers
