BT Firearms: When it comes to elite-tier tactical firearms, few names evoke the same level of quiet respect as B&T—short for Brügger & Thomet. Tucked away in the precision-driven heart of Switzerland, B&T has steadily built a reputation not on hype, but on pure performance, clean design, and battlefield-proven reliability. Their name is now synonymous with high-performance Swiss submachine guns, precision pistol-caliber carbines, and integrally suppressed sniper platforms. Whether it’s the APC9, GHM9, or the ultra-quiet SPR300, B&T continues to set the bar for modular tactical firearms engineered for professionals. For the connoisseur who demands more from their weapons platform—ergonomics, reliability, and mission adaptability—B&T is not a trend—it’s a standard.

Swiss Roots, Global Impact

Founded in 1991 in Thun, Switzerland, B&T began its journey as a manufacturer of suppressors and mounting systems for NATO forces. Initially, the company focused on accessories that enhanced existing platforms. But it didn’t take long before B&T began developing complete weapon systems of its own, applying Swiss engineering precision to every component.

One of their earliest milestones came in the early 2000s when B&T acquired the design rights to the Steyr TMP. They re-engineered it into what is now the B&T MP9—a submachine gun that remains in service with elite units around the world. Since then, the company has introduced a variety of firearms designed to meet the rigorous standards of military, law enforcement, and discerning civilian users.

A Modern Arsenal: B&T’s Product Line

APC Series (Advanced Police Carbine)
The APC series represents the flagship of B&T’s lineup. These are mission-ready platforms with variants in multiple calibers. Whether it’s the APC9 Pro chambered in 9mm or the more powerful APC223 chambered in .223 Rem, the APC family is built for performance. Each variant features ambidextrous controls, a non-reciprocating charging handle, and robust modularity. The APC9K—a compact version of the APC9—was even adopted by the U.S. Army as part of its Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) program.

GHM Series
Designed as a more affordable yet equally dependable alternative to the APC series, the GHM9 Gen 2 offers closed-bolt blowback operation in a stylish, modular platform. With compatibility for Glock, Sig P320, or proprietary B&T magazines, the GHM9 is a favorite among competition shooters and PDW enthusiasts alike.

MP9
An evolution of the Steyr TMP, the MP9 remains one of the most compact and high-performing 9mm submachine guns on the market. Its extremely high cyclic rate and ultra-lightweight design make it a go-to for elite units operating in close-quarters battle environments. While civilian availability is limited, its reputation in the professional world is unmatched.

SPR300
The SPR300 is B&T’s answer to the need for discreet, precision-focused engagements. Chambered in .300 Blackout and integrally suppressed, this bolt-action rifle is ideal for urban sniping and special reconnaissance. The platform is optimized for subsonic ammunition, delivering whisper-quiet performance with deadly accuracy.

VP9 (Veterinary Pistol)
Originally designed for humane animal euthanasia, the VP9 has become something of a collector’s piece. Inspired by the WWII-era Welrod pistol, it’s a bolt-action, integrally suppressed handgun that defines the word “quiet.” While niche, it has found favor among collectors and those who appreciate the history and function of suppressed firearms.


Every person should have at least one!

B&T firearms aren’t just tools—they’re a philosophy. Precision machining, minimal tolerances, and purpose-driven design converge in platforms that are as refined as they are rugged. These aren’t guns built for mass appeal; they’re crafted for professionals who operate without margin for error and for enthusiasts who recognize excellence when they feel it in their hands.

Whether it’s the whisper-quiet efficiency of the SPR300 or the rock-solid reliability of the APC9, B&T delivers performance that earns trust in the harshest conditions. If you’re the kind of shooter who respects engineering over marketing and performance over popularity, B&T isn’t just an option—it’s the benchmark.
