Frequently Asked Questions

What makes B&T's XH suppressor unique?

B&T's XH suppressor is unique due to its 100% 3D-printed titanium construction combined with an Inconel blast baffle. This hybrid approach offers lightweight benefits of titanium with the durability of Inconel, making it full-auto rated and SOCOM certified.

How does the B&T APC9 SD achieve subsonic velocities without specialty ammo?

The APC9 SD is a true suppressed/deactivated firearm featuring a ported barrel. This design bleeds off gas, effectively reducing the velocity of standard ammunition, such as 124-grain 9mm, down to subsonic levels for quieter shooting without needing expensive specialty rounds.

What are the benefits of B&T's modular suppressor system?

B&T's modular suppressors, like the SMG M9 can, offer versatility by allowing users to configure them into multiple setups. This includes choosing between long or K (compact) configurations and selecting either a flow-through or sealed end cap, providing six distinct configurations from a single suppressor.

Why does B&T serialize their firearm uppers instead of lowers?

B&T serializes their uppers to offer greater modularity. This allows customers to purchase a serialized upper and then pair it with various non-serialized lower receivers (like Glock, SIG, or B&T's own) which can be shipped directly as accessories, simplifying customization.
