B&T USA Announces Commercial Release of its APC9K SD2 US Army Submission
B&T USA have announced a limited run of APC9K SD2, a scalably suppressed APC9K which was offered to the US Army’s Sub Compact Weapon program. Back in April 2019, B&T won the new Sub Compact Weapon contract in competition with five other companies. The conventional APC9K was selected and B&T were awarded an initial order for 350 guns. Since then the USAF has also procured a number of the SCWs.
B&T @ TFB:
Here’s B&T USAs announcement in full:
B&T USA is excited to announce that due to continual requests by those familiar with the project, we have been persuaded to produce a limited number of integrally suppressed APC9K SD2 models complete with its scalable suppressor system. This variant was submitted for consideration during the United States Army Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) trials, with said branch ultimately selecting B&T USA’s APC9K and awarding it the SCW Contract.
“To win a US Government contract, you must submit a product that as closely meets their defined specifications as possible — not necessarily what you think the end user needs or even a product that is scalable to best suit its future needs — as was the case with the SD2; the advanced platform was not what the Army required in 2019, but one we anticipate it may in the future” said Chris Mudgett, Vice President of Marketing, B&T USA.
“At less than 15-inches in overall length, the APC9K SD2 is the shortest integrally suppressed submachine gun currently available. It is optimized for low visibility carriage and discreet deployment; while delivering unsurpassed accuracy, controllability, and ergonomics. With its advanced scalable suppressor system, the SD2 is a solution for your future mission.”
