Sorry to hear the APC didn't work out but glad B&T USA is taking care of you. I'll add an update when I get a chance to shoot mine some more. I can say for sure that mine doesn't have the extractor tension issue yours has.

In retrospect the customer service was excellent. However at the time I saw things differently, but that perspective was colored by disappointment, skepticism, and frustration. Let me put it this way: their CS wasn't what I was expecting, that I think is a fair assessment. It wasn't like calling Springfield or Sig.
Regarding functionality, it stumps everyone all around. I have videos of before I sent it in. Tim sent me a video of them shooting it. Then I have a videos of shooting it right out of the box and the malfunctions I was having after it was returned. Same ammo, same everything. There were only two variables that I can tell, the shooter and how many rounds were in the mags. From the video he sent me, he only fired roughly 15 rounds on camera. I always shot it with full mags. That's not to say he didn't try with fully loaded mags, but I have many videos shooting in various ways, whereas I only saw the one video from Tim.

I would be very interested to see and read additional reviews from other owners. I too am interested in a 45 platform such as the APC.
ETC (SW/AW), USN (1998-2008)
CVN-65, USS Enterprise

Same
I can find a lot of reviews on the APC 9, but not so on the .45

I picked up an APC45 a couple weeks ago, Maybe I should do a little review on it so there is some more info out there.

I am interested in a review as well. I actually contacted your friend the day you went out to try the replacement APC out and he was telling me the trouble you were having. Much like you I always wanted a .45 PCC but the UMP's are stupid money and the Vector is ugly. I am sorry to hear you had bad luck but am hoping others have luck. I really want this firearm.
I got mine a week or so ago. Have shot it once so far but am planning to go out and really put it through its paces this coming weekend. What kind of ammo did they recommend or what kind of ammo are people interested in shooting? I picked up some Winchester JHP and a box of Fedeal brass 230gr RN. Will see how it does with those. So far I have made both positive and negative observations but will save those for the write up.
