#B&T

James Reeves talks to Swiss suppressor manufacturer, B&T, about their new 3D printed suppressors which will be available in Inconel steel or titanium and built to order and HUB-compatible, a first for Europe.

James Reeves is talking to Chris Mudgett of B&T about their exciting new changes for 2024 to their suppressor line, including “quick ship” options, modular options, titanium options, Surefire adapters, reduced backpressure cans, and opening up their entire catalog of 500-600 military and law enforcement suppressors to US civilians. Wow.

James Reeves accosts his close personal friend, Chris Mudgett of B&T, at SHOT Show 2024 about the B&T TP380 – in particular, where is it???

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is visiting the gang from B&T to talk to them about the new B&T APC9k SD Squared: An ultra-compact, ultra-quiet suppressed 9mm carbine with a whole ton of surprises, including a modular B&T suppressor. Check the video for the full deets.

Hodge Defense Systems has become a hot-ticket name in the AR-15 world in recent years. Their rise to popularity brought with it an air of exclusivity, as their products created enough demand to sometimes necessitate “drop”-style releases that would sell out in minutes. B&T has dabbled in AR-style and similar firearms before, including a prior collaboration with German manufacturer C.G. Haenel. Now the vaunted Swiss firm is set to enter a new partnership, this time with Hodge, to offer a new AR series. It will be called the BT-15 HD, based on Hodge’s extant MOD 1 and MOD 2 designs. These new B&T/Hodge ARs are estimated to be slated for a mid-2024 release and should be offered in either 11.5″ or 16″ variants.

Two of the best pistol caliber carbines in the game: The LEGENDARY Heckler & Koch MP5 faces off today against the B&T APC-9. The H&K MP5 has been the gold standard for PCCs or SMGs for nearly 60 years, while the B&T APC-9 is newer, having been invented by the Swiss group Brugger & Thomet in 2011. While the B&T doesn’t have the long legacy enjoyed by the MP5, the APC-9 is the first SMG that has been adopted by the U.S. Army since World War II. Which one is the top dog in 2023?

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM R45 Multi-Host Suppressor. Last week we compared the YHM Turbo lineup with the YHM Fat Cat on 5.56 semiautomatic hosts. This week’s host is TFB senior staff writer Austin R. who has a very application-specific suppressor – the B&T MK23 suppressor. Let’s take a look.

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.

Brazil’s Sal Paulo Civilian Police have just selected a new submachine gun along with all of its cool bells and whistles for its latest addition to the law enforcement agency’s arsenal. The B&T APC9-G PRO 9mm submachine gun will allow officers complete magazine compatibility between current service pistols as well as the 700 new submachine guns that the agency has purchased from B&T USA. This is B&T USA’s second contract in recent memory with the country of Brazil with B&T previously fulfilling a contract for the APC40 to the country’s Polícia Militar (military police).

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Karl Brugger, founding member of B&T AG, about his invention, the B&T APC-10.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week I made my pitch that everyone should own a 5.56mm bolt action rifle and suppressor combination (the Ruger American Ranch in particular). This week we dive into a classic pairing that is becoming more and more prevalent every year in the United States – H&K and B&T. Specifically, the B&T SQD RBS – Super Quick Disconnect and Reduced Backpressure System 9mm suppressor – on the H&K MP5 and MP5K sub-machine guns. Yes it’s awesome, but we should look at the details before typing in our billing information. Let’s dig in.

Safety Harbor Firearms continues to expand the lineup of Kompact Entry Stock (KES) with the addition of a Brugger & Thomet APC-9 model. Safety Harbor makes KES stocks and stabilizing braces for many popular PCC options. These include the CZ Scorpion, Grand Power Stribog, MP-5 and MP-5K, and Sig Sauer MPX. B&T has captured a large portion of the PCC market recently, so it makes sense that Safety Harbor added this model. Also, the APC-9K won the US Army Sub Compact Weapon contract in 2019.

At SHOT Show 2023, B&T unveiled all-new suppressors, firearms, and imported SVD rifles.  A whole host of different rifles, pistols, and machine guns were on display showcasing these new products.  I had a chance to sit down with B&T and talk about what’s new for the market in 2023.

Dear Santa Claus,
While I freely acknowledge that I thoroughly deserve a stocking full of coal this Christmas, as has been the case every year for more than three decades running, hear me out: guns are awesome. Also, I know where you live – seriously, the North Pole isn’t hard to find – so don’t make me come after you. Therefore, I hereby present a list of firearms-related Christmas presents I’d appreciate you leaving under my tree at zero dark thirty on 25 DEC 2022. When you infil the chimney, just watch out for my claymore Roomba; he’s a spicy little robot and if shrapnel shreds the mistletoe, my wife will be displeased.
