Anyone have Experience with the B&T APC 45?

We should be seeing some APC9's and APC45's come in soon (august).

Do you know if it is the same size as the APC 9? How did it shoot? One of the videos I saw on youtube showed the APC 45 bouncing around a lot during full auto. Now I know full auto is off the table, but still is it flat shooting in semi or is there a lot of muzzle rise?

I just want to get as many details as I can since I've never seen one and for my friend to order one, I'd pretty much need to commit to it. But I'm hesitant to commit to a $2,000 firearm, new to the market, and that I haven't held.

It weighs over 5.5lbs, and the bolt is a large solid piece of steel and has a hydrolic buffer. I wouldn't imagine it would have much muzzle rise.

Honestly, don't know. I would shoot B&T USA that question.

Didn't shoot one so I cannot answer (sorry).

From the videos, they appear to be the same size.

As far as barrel removal, I've never removed mine. There are 4 bolts on each side, which I can only assume are torqued to a specified pressure. Field stripping however is simplistic.

This one is mine. The .45 would be nice also.

Update: I bought the APC 45. It is a fine, precisely made Swiss paperweight. A better, more harrowing review will be coming soon.

Don't get your hopes up.
