US Customs and Border Protection, part of the US Department of Homeland Security is purchasing 285 Brugger & Thomet APC9s by leveraging the US Army Sub Compact Weapon contract. The contract vehicle was modified earlier this year to allow other agencies to purchase from it and to supply Glock and SIG compatible magwells.
The B&T APC9K was adopted by the US Army just last year as their Sub Compact Weapon as seen above.
The CBP APC9s will be fitted with Aimpoint optics and Glock compatible magwells. We understand the agency plans to replace their fleet of around 2000 H&K UMPs over time.
Finally replacing the UMP… Good job LESC!
Now if only I was cool enough to get one. 🙁
You have to be on Special Response Team. Their training is insane.
