B&T USA has been awarded a contract to supply the Westchester, NY Police Department with integrally suppressed semi automatic carbines. And yes, Westchester’s new APC9-SD carbines take Glock mags.

The APC9-SD is a 9x19mm semi automatic carbine with a 146 mm integraly suppressed barrel. It has a folding stock and an extended railed forend. It normally feeds from 15, 20, 25 and 30 round magazines and it’s suppressor is rated to reduce its sound profile to <130 dB. The carbine weighs in at 3.1kg and has an overall length, with its stock deployed, of 30.3 inches.

It is unclear if the guns have been purchased for Westchester PD’s SWAT team or as a patrol carbine. With just 14 guns ordered they are probably destined for specialist SWAT officers. Most interestingly the guns are described as having Glock lower receivers, and feeding from Glock magazines, already in the department’s inventory, rather than B&T’s standard translucent magazines.

The APC9-SD was introduced back in 2016, and earlier this year was offered for the first time on the US civilian market with an MSRP of around $2,400. B&T USA were recently one of 6 companies selected to take part in the US Army’s Sub Compact Weapon trials. While what B&T USA submitted is unconfirmed, it may have been a weapon from their APC9 range.
