The 10mm King Of Smgs: The B&T Apc-10

In the realm of firearms, trends ebb and flow like the tides. Join me on this exciting exploration with Carl Burger, the man behind B&T, as he unveils the fascinating world of the APC 10, a 10-millimeter wonder that's making waves in the firearms community.

Unveiling the APC 10: Riding the 10-Millimeter Wave

As I stood in the BNT headquarters in Switzerland, the air was buzzing with excitement. Carl Burger, a legend in his own right, walked me through the APC 10, an extension of the prevailing trend of a 10-millimeter comeback. The story unfolds with the resurgence of demand from the U.S., a demand so compelling that B&T decided to craft a 10-millimeter version of their highly successful APC-9.

The process, as Carl eloquently put it, was not rocket science. They extended the receiver, tweaked the hydraulic buffer system, and voila! The APC 10 was born. What struck me was Carl's nonchalant response to the question of complexity. "Not much at all," he said. In a world where uniformity often prevails, the APC 10 dared to be different, introducing a delightful burstiness in the realm of firearms.

The Dance of Recoil: A Symphony in 10 Millimeters

As we delved deeper into the intricacies of the APC 10, the topic of recoil took center stage. Carl's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he spoke of the surprisingly light recoil of the APC 10, a characteristic that left me eager to witness it in action. In a moment of sheer joy, we witnessed mag dumps that defied expectations, showcasing the manageability of 10-millimeter recoil even in full auto mode.

But why did B&T venture into this territory? Was it a law enforcement request, a government agency plea? To my surprise, Carl revealed that the primary impetus came from the civilian market. The consumers spoke, and B&T listened, crafting a masterpiece that not only met demand but exceeded expectations.

Innovation Unleashed: Extended Magazines and Futuristic Stocks

In the ever-evolving world of firearms, innovation is the name of the game. B&T, true to its avant-garde spirit, introduces extended magazines and a futuristic stock for the APC 10. The extended magazine, coupled with an alloy extension, promises heightened firepower and is set to hit the market in a mere four weeks. As I marveled at the ingenuity, Carl casually mentioned a modest price tag, embodying the spirit of innovation without breaking the bank.

The stock, a newcomer on the scene, captivated my attention. Born out of necessity when their original order fell through, B&T didn't just settle—they created. The side-folding mechanism, adjustable cheek, and customizable length positions make this stock a game-changer. It's a testament to B&T's resilience and determination to provide cutting-edge solutions.

APC Series: A Legacy of Reliability and Ambidexterity

As we navigated through the APC series, Carl shed light on its reliability and ambidextrous design. A platform that emerged with the Army contract, the APC series stands as a testament to B&T's commitment to excellence. Carl dispelled the notion of a delayed roller system, emphasizing the reliability of the hydraulic buffer in achieving superior results.

The APC 10, an extension of this legacy, shares compatibility with its predecessor, the APC 9. The interchangeable parts, including the bolt, barrel, and trigger components, ensure that enthusiasts can seamlessly transition between the two models. And yes, the APC 10 inherits the coveted Glock magazine compatibility, a marriage that restricts the lower compatibility but guarantees a dedicated and reliable design.

As we wrapped up our journey through the APC 10 wonderland, Carl left us with a lingering question: What's the price tag? In typical B&T fashion, the answer was elusive, but that only added to the allure. After all, in a world of innovation and excitement, does the price not become a secondary consideration?

In the universe of firearms, where precision meets passion, B&T's APC 10 stands as a testament to the company's ethos—listen to the market, innovate fearlessly, and redefine the boundaries of what's possible. As the APC 10 finds its way into the hands of enthusiasts, it heralds a new era where 10 millimeters steal the spotlight, and B&T continues to dance at the forefront of the firearms renaissance.
