B&T SHOT Show 2026: GHM9 Retro, Print-X Suppressors & APC Evolution

The GHM9 Retro is B&T's latest variant of the popular GHM9 platform, available exclusively through Sports South. The design pays homage to the original prototype configuration by incorporating a top-mounted charging handle reminiscent of the KH9-series platform.

This top-charging design provides the slimmest, most snag-free profile possible, making it ideal for rapid deployment from bags or compartments where platform width is a consideration. The charging handle folds flat when not in use, keeping the overall package compact.

The GHM9 Retro retains full modularity with the GHM platform. It features the same hydraulic buffer system for enhanced recoil mitigation, fully ambidextrous lower receiver, and threaded 1/2x28 muzzle with three-lug adapter for suppressor compatibility. Critically, it accepts all APC9 PRO lower receiver groups, enabling configuration with Glock, SIG P320, or proprietary B&T magazines.

B&T continues to expand their Print-X suppressor line, leveraging advanced 3D printing technology with titanium construction for lightweight, durable suppressors. The Print-X family uses laser bed fusion manufacturing for weldless designs that eliminate traditional failure points.

The VERS36 Ti represents the most versatile option in the lineup. Manufactured from 100% titanium, its modular two-piece design allows users to remove the front section for a shorter, lighter configuration. Both configurations are full-auto rated, and the design features B&T's Reduced Back Pressure System (RBS) to minimize gas blowback.

For 5.56 applications, the XH-556 combines 3D printed titanium with a 718 Inconel blast baffle for lightweight handling and advanced flash suppression. B&T reports the design has exceeded 22,000+ round test cycles in grueling testing scenarios.

The APC (Advanced Police Carbine) remains B&T's flagship firearm line. The APC9 PRO continues to set the standard for compact, modular submachine guns with its hydraulic buffer system and interchangeable lower receiver groups.

The APC9 PRO features an internal hydraulic buffer for superior recoil mitigation, dual auto-folding non-reciprocating charging handles, and improved lower receiver ergonomics. The platform accepts interchangeable non-serialized lower receiver groups, allowing users to swap between Glock, SIG P320, or proprietary B&T magazines without any additional paperwork.

For those seeking more power, the APC10 PRO chambers 10mm Auto with a 6.8-inch barrel, while the APC300 K offers .300 Blackout in a compact package optimized for suppressed use. Both leverage the same modular platform and suppress-ready design as the 9mm variant.

The TP9 Pro represents B&T's latest evolution of their iconic tactical pistol platform. First unveiled at SHOT Show 2025, the TP9 Pro features significant improvements over the original TP9 that was developed from the Steyr TMP.

The new aluminum top cover integrates M-LOK slots for accessory mounting. The top rail now incorporates built-in iron sights and a deep cut specifically for the Aimpoint ACRO optic. B&T also addressed customer feedback about the original TP9's heavy trigger with a new flat-face design featuring a lighter break, plus a flared magwell for easier reloads.

The TP9 Pro uses the same magazines as the APC9, MP9, GHM9, and P26, meaning shooters invested in the B&T ecosystem can share magazines across multiple platforms.
