Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019

The US Army is currently evaluating several 9mm commercial sub machine systems to satisfy their Sub Compact Weapon requirement for Military Police Personal Security Details which protect dignitaries. Swiss company B&T has two variants of their APC9 under evaluation.

The APC9 is their standard model with collapsible stock and ambidextrous controls.

The APC9-K SD has a short Suppressor, under the handguard. While integral suppression was not a threshold requirement, it was an objective. Additional suppression to become fully ear safe can be threaded into the barrel.

Below are two photos which depict how compact the weapon is with the telescoping stock fully closed.

SHOT Show 19 – Hill People Gear

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019

Hill People Gear has introduced a proprietary color for their gear. Elk, as it is known, will be their flagship color in the future. Here you can see a Tarahumara in Elk.

Scot Hill explained that they wanted to stick with an earth tone, but wanted to get away from standard military colors. While they initially favored Khaki, an informal survey found that it wasn’t popular. Instead, they developed their own color.

Eventually, all HPG packs and accessories will be in Elk. Clothing will come in time, depending on fabric availability.
