B&T, Inc. (Brügger & Thomet) are the creators of the B&T GHM9 that TFBTV covered at Triggercon earlier this year. B&T has just announced its new partnership with Interstate Arms in a bid to bring B&T firearms and select accessories to America’s law enforcement agencies. In addition to supplying the country’s law enforcement with their arms, B&T and Interstate Arms are seeking to increase B&Ts brand presence in this segment of the market.
The GHM9 already has a Glock Mag conversion out which would make the gun even more compatible with many law enforcement agencies’ sidearms.
Below is an excerpt from their press release.
“Since winning the US Army’s Sub Compact Weapon contract, demand and interest from the domestic law enforcement market has soared. Expanding our LE distributor network is integral to placing our premier platforms into the hands of our homelands protectors” stated Tim Nickler, President and CEO of B&T USA.
“With nearly 20 years of experience supporting those who wear blue, we have been closely monitoring and assessing the buying habits and market trends that departments are currently experiencing,” said Rich Nutile, Law Enforcement Sales/Branch Manager at Interstate Arms. “We see a huge potential for agencies to shift from rifles to the more compact and versatile 9mm platform. With the APC9K winning its recent military contract, it is very apparent B&T will be an industry leader in this rapidly growing sector.
