Frequently Asked Questions

What are some key accessories for the B&T APC9 Pro?

Essential accessories for the B&T APC9 Pro include a suppressor (like the CGS Mod 9 SK), a hand stop (True North Concepts), a reliable sling with a thumb tab, a weapon light (Modlite PLHv2), and an optic (Trijicon RMR on a Unity Riser). Upgraded safety selectors and ergonomic grips like the Reptilia CQB are also recommended.

How can the ergonomics of the B&T APC9 Pro be improved?

Ergonomics can be significantly improved by upgrading the factory safety selector, which is often criticized for its poor design, especially for left-handed shooters. Adding a hand stop or a more contoured grip like the Reptilia CQB can also enhance handling and control during shooting.

What are the considerations for mounting an optic on the B&T APC9 Pro?

When mounting an optic like a Trijicon RMR on a B&T APC9 Pro, the height of the riser is crucial. A Unity Riser provides a higher sight picture suitable for chin welds and potential night vision use, but may feel too tall for traditional cheek welds for some shooters.

Are Glock magazines compatible with the B&T APC9 Pro?

While Glock magazines can be used in the B&T APC9 Pro, their compatibility and feeding reliability can be inconsistent due to the angle of the magazine within the firearm's magazine well. Some users report issues, suggesting that B&T's proprietary magazines may offer more consistent performance.
