B&T® APC45 PRO semi-automatic rifle / caliber .45ACP

Semi-automatic rifles APC45 PRO from the Swiss company B&T are generally popular weapons for police purposes, but they can also be used for sports shooting. The self-loading rifle APC45 PRO is a lightweight, reliable, balanced, accurate, safe and modular weapon of the latest generation.

Advanced police weapon

APC stands for Advanced Police Carbine. It is available in various versions and calibers, mainly for police but also tactical military use. The development of these weapons used "Development Expertise" procedures borrowed from the IT segment, which proved to be very agile.

Record development speed

From the first hand-drawn sketch to the functional prototype, it took designers and the company B&T just under 45 days. The best ideas simply don't have to come about slowly. Specifically, Karl Brügger is behind the APC carbine. Some of his ideas were even conceived late at night at the kitchen table.

Hydraulic recoil damper

The B&T APC45 PRO rifle can significantly reduce the level of perceived recoil thanks to its design. The mechanism of the weapon includes a special hydraulic recoil damper (buffer) located in the body of the weapon. Thus, even with its surprisingly low weight and compact dimensions, the weapon generates only minimal recoil. This concept was later adopted by the SPC9 rifle series.

Different calibers, same handling

All B&T APC series rifles utilize the same ergonomics and controls, which can save operators many hours of training at the shooting range and ultimately even ammo costs. The operation of all APC rifles is the same regardless of the caliber — and there are plenty of calibers available. This variant of the self-loading APC rifle comes in the popular .45 ACP caliber in the United States, which allows it to be used at regular shooting ranges.

Comprehensive accessory system

More than half of all parts within the APC platform are interchangeable between individual weapons, whether it is the compact APC9 K PRO or the full-sized APC308 caliber 7.62×51 mm. You can also choose from a comprehensive range of accessories including suppressors, bipods, stocks, grips, lighting or optics.

Ambidextrous charging handle

At the front of the weapon above the magazine is the charging handle. The handle is ambidextrous and thus suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters. It is also foldable, so it doesn't get in the way after charging the weapon. This solution was subsequently adopted by the SPC9 rifle series.

Foldable stock for easy aiming

The self-loading rifle APC45 PRO / caliber .45ACP from B&T is equipped with a polymer foldable stock. The stock folds easily to the side of the weapon, making it ready for transport or storage in extremely confined spaces. Folding the stock does not affect the functionality of the weapon. The pistol grip is interchangeable with AR-15 platform grips.

A Swede and a Swiss met

This could be the beginning of a joke. However, this is not a joke. With your self-loading APC45 PRO rifle / caliber .45ACP from B&T, you get a top-notch Aimpoint reflex sight from the Swedish company as part of the price. Aimpoint is one of the most preferred companies among reflex sights for operators worldwide. One of its advantages is the need to change the commonly used battery only once every few years thanks to its concept. The self-loading rifle APC45 PRO / caliber .45ACP from B&T is also equipped with backup foldable mechanical sights.

Picatinny everywhere

The self-loading rifle APC45 PRO / caliber .45ACP from B&T is equipped with a Quad Rail handguard, meaning this handguard is practically outfitted with Picatinny rails for accessory installation on all four sides. A Picatinny runs along the entire length of the handguard and is extended onto the entire bolt carrier. For such a compact weapon, it offers a lot of space for your accessories.
