#USWA1

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.

B&T USA has announced that the USW A1 is now blessed by the ATF for importation and sale in the United States. The tedious compliance process, required of all firearms entering US commerce, can take up to six months and includes a physical inspection of at least one sample firearm that is destroyed after the testing is concluded. That is probably the saddest part of this whole process.

At the top of my SHOT Show schedule was the B&T booth to find out more about their growing offerings available to U.S. consumers. And they didn’t disappoint. We’ve talked recently here at TFB about the APC line of firearms chambered in pistol calibers like 9mm and .45ACP as will as rifle cartridges like 5.56 and .308. But, I have had my sights set on the modern-day Welrod suppressed pistol, the VP9. And I’m happy to report that B&T will be bringing the VP9 to America.
