Has anyone here suppressed a B&T APC45?

I've read some 3 lug suppressors don't truly fit. Wondering how you went about fitting yours.

I understand B&T has options LINK of their own & I may go that route. Curious how you have configured yours and if you experienced any frustrations or pure bliss.

Mine's in 9mm so I'm no help. But my Dead Air Ghost fits the 9mAPC with 3 lug just fine. Actually better than my H&K SP5

I spoke to a gentleman this morning that worked for B&T. He encouraged me to email them and discuss RDQ and get their recommendations.

He also mentioned their blow back design and how it causes FTF issues depending on the suppressor, along with a couple other issues.

He said the majority of issues was with the APC9 being it's more popular than the 45 version. What has your experience been?

Mine’s been perfect save for one squib. It takes Glock magazines instead of B&T.

Anytime. I’ve never shot a B&T silencer but they’re suppose to be really good.

I have one and I run a silencer co Trilug with an omega 45K. It takes the B&T mags and, so far, the first few mags I used Blazer I think it was and it had some trouble feeding. I took it apart and cleaned it good and used ppu bulk ammo next and it has ran like a top since. I love it and so do my buddies when we go to the range. Naturally subsonic and it stays loaded with some Federal HSTs

B&T responded how you would think of course recommending their SMG45 & RDQ hub.

"With the SMG45 it will be plug and play on your APC45 since the suppressor is going to be designed around interfacing with our 45 tri-lug. If you ever did want to use the suppressor on anything else then you can just change the HUB interface to anything threaded 1.375x24."

bbvdd & NOLAGT, I appreciate your real-world info. Looks like I have a few options. I purchased my B&T several years ago Gen1 w/pistol brace & the talking point then was the three lug & fitment, issues varied. Then the brace drama, gun has been out of sight/mind for several years. I got the itch. Thanks!
