As one of the flagships of B&T, the APC9 PRO SD represents a breakthrough in customization and modularity on a pistol-caliber platform. Every component is of the highest quality, and is meticulously machined and fitted with the Swiss-made precision that B&T is known for.
The APC9 PRO SD itself is equipped with several major upgrades; one of the most notable is the integral suppressor system. This suppressor setup produces a considerably quiet report of just under 130 decibels, and features a series of ports at the front of the chamber. These ports allow supersonic ammunition to be suppressed effectively by slowing the bullet down to subsonic speeds and thus reducing the sound generated. Other improvements include enhanced lower receiver ergonomics, a side positioned bolt hold open/release, and a non-reciprocating, auto-folding charging handle to reduce the risk of snagging on loose clothing/equipment.
At the heart of the APC system is the hydraulic shock-absorbing buffer system which greatly mitigates recoil and enhances overall accuracy. In terms of customization, the APC PRO features a flattop picatinny rail for optics as well as an under-barrel rail for lights/lasers. Each APC PRO unit also has a variety of B&T made accessories including brass-catchers, extended magazines, and fore-grips designed specifically for that model. In addition, many aspects of the APC PRO are reminiscent of the AR-15, such as the ambidextrous selector switch, the ergonomics, trigger assembly and accepts AR-15 style grips. These similarities make for a better shooting experience for someone already acquainted with the AR-15.
