#KH9

Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by our friends at Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Phantom 22. Last week we dug into the Dead Air Primal on the Henry Model X in .45-70. This week, we head to Rusty’s neck of the woods to take a look at the B&T KH9SD equipped with their new RBS-9 Reduced Backpressure Silencer. Let’s dive deeper into B&T’s silent update to their awesome KH9 SMG.

The Spectre M4 SMG is an Italian made gun. It was developed by a company called SITES in the 1980s. It has a quad stack magazine of 9mm with 30 or 50 round capacity depending on the magazine. It has a over folder stock that looks similar to the underfolder on a Sterling MK4.

Brügger and Thomet is on a roll: a couple of weeks ago we got a sneak peak at a pre-production APC308 and now we are seeing the first KH9-A1’s to arrive here in the US. Minh at  The Hardpoint/HiCaliberMfg an FFL/SOT in Ashland, Virginia was nice enough to share pictures of one of the two Swiss-made pistols that they received from B&T. Only 400 total KH9’s will be imported and available for purchase by American shooters and the MSRP is currently set at $2,250.

Swiss company B&T is only a small to medium sized company, but with big ears and very short distance from demand to R&D to production and delivery. Don’t ask why Heckler & Koch springs to mind as something being the total opposite.
