The photo above and the description below (from B&T) brings up an interesting subject. Shooting at (reactive) targets at long distance. In a recent PRS competition I got the opportunity to shoot a Glock 17 and a CZ Shadow at some steel targets from about 100 – [Read More…]
POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is TFB’s recurring articles where we try to find the best pictures out there. Today we take a look at some suppressed firearms, on the frozen ground. As you can see neither the black B&T APC9 Suomi nor the IWI Tavor in O.D. Green [Read More…]
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 [Read More…]
In this episode of TFBTV’s coverage of #TriggrCon2019 , James visits the B&T booth to talk about the new barrel and handguard kits available for the GHM9. The kits will allow the end users to swap out their barrel and handguard for multiple configurations including extended barrel and [Read More…]
We all have our “Grail Guns” – firearms that we have lusted and yearned after for years but may not have the means to obtain. Given the opportunity, and resources, we’d jump at the chance to own that one gun that might as well be in a museum and unavailable [Read More…]
Davidson’s, one of the US’ largest firearms distributors, has announced a partnership with B&T USA for the distribution of B&T’s sought after products. B&T USA recently won the contract to provide the US Army’s new Sub Compact Weapon. [Read More…]
I’ll clarify right off the bat: Tar Heel State Firearms (THSF) actually has five of the unique B&T APC40 pistol caliber carbines, but three of them were already spoken for at the time of this writing. I spoke with Scott at THSF earlier this week, hoping that the [Read More…]
To follow up on the article where the Swiss company B&T defended their GL06 Grenade Launcher (Swiss B&T defends its GL06 Grenade Launcher) we take a look at an accuracy testing video done by them to show the potential. From the B&T (Switzerland) homepage, [Read More…]
Unfortunately, a lot of the firearms we show as Picture Of The Day are unobtainable for a variety of reasons, so it’s always satisfying to find great pictures and be able to say to yourself “I own that“. I bought my first B&T from Switzerland many [Read More…]
Let’s talk about the new B&T APC9 Pro. If you aren’t familiar with this pistol caliber carbine, then I have to go ahead and question your knowledge and support of firearms and the second amendment all together. Joking aside, these are some of the best [Read More…]
The Sheriff’s Department of Lake County, Indiana has selected the compact MP9 submachine gun form B&T, presumably for issuing to their Tactical Unit (S.W.A.T). The Lake County Sheriff’s Department has an 18 strong tactical unit who are “available [Read More…]

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. The B&T GLOCK Chassis is such [Read More…]
The French Police is using the B&T Swiss-made GL06 launcher in 40mm caliber, which they re-named LBD40. The B&T GL06 launcher is produced to work with the 40 mm B&T SIR less-lethal ammunition, which B&T calls a state of the art in point-of-aim & [Read More…]
Back in March 2018, Eric broke the news that B&T were finally set to offer a 7.62x51mm APC, the APC308. The rifle was unveiled at the 2018 Enforce TAC show but no details on when it might arrive in the US were given. It now appears that B&T USA are preparing to [Read More…]
Here are few examples of suppressed firearms, in either 9×19 mm or the more powerful .223 Remington (or 5,56×45 mm). The B&T APC9 Suomi pictured is just like the normal APC9 except it has a pinned suppressor (rather long one) to get into the legal minimum [Read More…]
Today’s Photo is the B&T VP9 (Veterinary Pistol) – a firearm that many would like to own, but few can. (sorry, that’s was unintentional) The picture is from Vogt Waffen AG in Switzerland, used with kind permission. B&T veterinary pistol VP9 [Read More…]

B&T USA posted this tempting configuration of a B&T TP9-N with an Aimpoint Nano, Telescopic Brace Adapter and a Generation 1 Tail-hook. Any bullets fired through this configuration also have to pass a B&T TP9 Suppressor. Below: If you go with heavy subsonic [Read More…]
As TFB told you earlier this year, there are Glock Magazine Lowers for the B&T APC9-G & GHM9-G coming. It doesn’t stop there, as you know the Swiss B&T is a very innovative company, with (for the industry) short leadtimes. This means they can provide [Read More…]
Thanks, Boss! Installation of the B&T APC45 trigger would have been a real pain in the rear had it not been for the detailed instructions provided by TFB’s editor Pete in his review off the same trigger for the APC9. Not only are the instructions hard to [Read More…]
Franklin Armory is releasing a new binary trigger for B&T. Platforms will include the APC9, APC45 and the GHM9. The new trigger will be called the BFSIII B&T – C1 and will be a 3 position trigger. The first position will be a standard safety position. Next [Read More…]
Pistol caliber (especially .45 caliber) submachineguns are a lot of fun to shoot. I personally have experience with the Thompson, M3/A1, MAC-10, the KRISS (Originally TDI) Super-V and the H&K UMP45. While I have always been intrigued in the H&K UMP45, the [Read More…]
Many shooters are aware that the B&T GHM9 was initially not feeding hollow points – as designed, it met the EU need of using strictly FMJ. However, B&T listened to the American market and user requests to resolve the issue have been met with a new update. [Read More…]
Hello everyone, my name is Pete and its been six weeks since my last B&T post (although my brother in arms Erik B. has been doing a stellar job of keeping us updated about B&T products in the EU). Even so, I feel it’s time I fell off the wagon to talk about [Read More…]
Geissele has been a regular at Big 3 East for a few years now. Last year they had showed off their flat wire spring and GMO seed based lubricant. Geissele did show off their Remington Super 700 trigger at SHOT Show but we got a closer look. Geissele also brought out [Read More…]

Finally the B&T APC family is complete. There has been a lot of rumors about the APC308 and it was expected to be released at SHOT Show, but was nowhere to be found there. Instead it is released today at Enforce TAC 2018, Germany, closer to its birthplace in Thun, [Read More…]
