The B&T USA SPC9 Series
The SPC9 combines many features from the B&T APC9 and MP5 platforms. It is a great example of versatility. According to the company, the SPC9 is a familiar experience and one of the most light-recoiling 9mm carbines. B&T’s innovative, yet effective hydraulic buffer system is responsible for this.
It has an AR feel and comes standard with a Telescopic Stock. This stock can be replaced with any AR-style stock. If you prefer, you can choose the PDW telescopic stocks. The B&T-produced pistol grip can be replaced with any AR-style grip.
NAR (NATO Accessory Rail), which runs the entire top of all models’ upper receivers, is used. It also runs along the length the bottom of your handguard. M-LOK slots are also available on the sides of this handguard. For enhanced performance, you can add optics and lights to the handguard.
The lower receiver is available in three options. It ships standard ready for B&T polymer magazines, but you can choose from two other options. The first configuration accepts Glock magazines down to the smallest 10-round magazines, while the second accepts SIG 320 magazines (or US M17/M19 magazines).
The SPC9 PDW and SPC9 PDW have a 3-lug barrel attachment that can be used to attach a suppressor or muzzle brake. The SPC9 PDW SD SD and SPC9 SD have integrated suppressor attachments. The unique feature of the SPC9 is its dual charging handle. The AR-style handle is the one you see above the barrel. The other is non-reciprocating and foldable. Both systems can be used independently.
The SPC9 ships with an Aimpoint T-Series optic mounted on a 39mm riser. The flip-up iron sights are compatible with the mounted red spot.

Jon Scott, Vice President of Sales at B&T USA, stated that the SPC9 was created as a result of a request from a professional entity. “The SPC9-series was developed by B&T at the request of an European Police Unit. They adopted it immediately in large numbers. To meet different needs, many variants have been created. B&T USA will offer five variations to begin. These include a 4.5-inch barreled PDW and integrally suppressed PDW–SD, a 9-inch Standard, integrally suppressioned Standard SD, and a 16 inch carbine, which will be available later in the year.
The B&T USA SPC9 Series can be ordered now. MSRPs vary depending on the model and available options. Visit BT-USA.com for more information.
