#B&TUSW

B&T USA has just announced that its Universal Service Weapon chassis for the Glock small frame pistols (USW-G) has been assigned a National Stock Number. The USW-G works with the Glock 17 and 19 pistols with standard rails (Gen 3-5), and can quickly convert the pistol to a configuration with a folding stock for improved stability – no tools required. The USW aluminum chassis is compatible with red dots sights like the Aimpoint ACRO, to increase hit probability. Any red dot mounted on the chassis will be non-reciprocating. Once a National Stock Number has been issued, it makes the procurement process easier for all NATO members and partner countries.

In a recent article, TFB wrote about the experiences with regards to Long Range Shooting with handguns in general and the B&T Universal Service Weapon (USW) specifically.

The photo above and the description below (from B&T) brings up an interesting subject. Shooting at (reactive) targets at long distance.

Not all product or press releases get the attention they deserve, not initially anyway. Try launching a product at, for instance SHOT Show, and it will easily drown in the constant flow of wonderful – and not so – products.

B&T have announced that their Universal Service Weapon pistol carbine has been used during the Dutch Korps Mariniers (Royal Dutch Marines) annual shooting competition with friendly NATO forces.

Every other year the Swedish company Aimpoint invites Police officers and Military soldiers from multiple countries to demonstrate their products. The location is the military shooting range in Ravlunda close to Malmoe in the Southern part of Sweden.

From Switzerland to Las Vegas and back, B&T seem to have had an excellent SHOT Show with a booth flooded by visitors.
