Entry Level B&T GHM9 Redesign Finally Official

By now you are probably wondering if I get a secret monthly check from Switzerland to promote B&T products. So let me take a moment to set the record straight: I can not confirm or deny any foreign payroll income related to sexy Swiss firearms. But if your reading this, B&T mothership, call me. My last envelope must have been lost in the mail. As for the latest news, the B&T GHM9 redesign is official on the company’s website, and it is attractive in both form and price point.

As we have mentioned a few times in the past, the entry-level gun was recently reworked to become a side-charging action rather than a top charger like it’s limited release cousin the KH9. And with the changes and a predicted U.S. price point of $1,300, a whole new slice of the shooting/collecting market opens up.

Obviously, import restrictions will require the B&T GHM9 to be imported as a pistol, however the adventurous type can file their ATF Form 1 applications to make a short barreled rifle (SBR). Stay tuned for a release date announcement. As soon as I get word from my EU and FL handlers, that is.
