B&T USA Announce Commercial Release of its APC9K SD² US Army Submission

B&T APC9K SD²
B&T USA is excited to announce that due to continual requests by those familiar with the project, we have been persuaded to produce a limited number of integrally suppressed APC9K SD² models complete with its scalable suppressor system. This variant was submitted for consideration during the United States Army Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) trials, with said branch ultimately selecting B&T USA’s APC9K and awarding it the SCW Contract.
“To win a US Government contract, you must submit a product that as closely meets their defined specifications as possible — not necessarily what you think the end user needs or even a product that is scalable to best suit its future needs — as was the case with the SD²; the advanced platform was not what the Army required in 2019, but one we anticipate it may in the future” said Chris Mudgett, Vice President of Marketing, B&T USA. “At less than 15-inches in overall length, the APC9K SD2 is the shortest integrally suppressed submachine gun currently available. It is optimized for low visibility carriage and discreet deployment; while delivering unsurpassed accuracy, controllability, and ergonomics. With its advanced scalable suppressor system, the SD² is a solution for your future mission.”

The SD² is an integrally suppressed variant of the APC9K that features a scalable suppressor system and M-Lok compatible SD handguard. In its shortest configuration, the APC9K SD² features a 3-inch ported barrel combined with an advanced over the barrel suppressor that is fully contained within a short SD diameter handguard. In this configuration, the platform measures only 15 inches in length. Should the user require the utmost in suppression in lieu of compactness, a second-stage suppressor can be threaded onto the first, providing APC9 SD Compact-level (mid-length) decibel reduction and size envelope.
The APC9 PRO is the workhorse of the APC PRO line and utilizes a hydraulic buffer system to drastically reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. The PRO platform features ambidextrous auto-folding, non-reciprocating charging handles, improved lower receiver ergonomics inclusive of side positioned bolt hold open/releases, replaceable M4 compatible grip, and Magpul M-Lok accessory slots on the forend. Additionally, the APC9 PRO is compatible with standard B&T, Glock and SIG P320 magazines by way of non-serialized lower receiver replacement.
