Frequently Asked Questions

Why upgrade the B&T APC9K to a Glock lower receiver?

Upgrading to a B&T Glock lower receiver for the APC9K allows the use of standard Glock magazines. This is often preferred for their robustness, reliability, and widespread availability, especially for duty or self-defense applications where magazine integrity is critical.

What are the benefits of using Glock magazines with the B&T APC9K?

The primary benefit is enhanced reliability and durability. Glock magazines, particularly OEM ones, are metal-lined and known for their ruggedness, reducing the risk of breakage compared to some proprietary polymer magazines. They also offer a more positive magazine drop.

How does the short bolt throw affect the B&T APC9K's performance?

The short bolt throw on the B&T APC9K significantly contributes to its rapid shot recovery. This allows shooters to achieve very quick follow-up shots, making the firearm highly effective and controllable during rapid fire sequences.

Are there any potential issues when using aftermarket Glock magazines with the B&T APC9K?

Yes, while OEM Glock magazines generally perform well, aftermarket brands like SGM Tactical can sometimes exhibit reliability issues. One instance of a failure to feed was noted with an SGM magazine, suggesting that for critical applications, OEM Glock magazines are the safer choice.
