This is the most active B&T thread and I’m wondering if the X-Carry fits on the B&T USW-320?
The standard and compact do, so I’m assuming it does. That would be a nice SBR. Cold Link: https://www.bt-ag.ch/shop/eng/bt-usw/bt-polymer-lower-usw-320-for-sig-p320-bt-430174 Sorry for the hijack... |

So I recently got a ghm9 "Gen2" (Gen1 with hollow fix), wanted to check if anyone knew if the folding stock from the compact would fit a standard ghm9 "gen2"?

just installed the geissele super APC trigger...having already known that the G trigger would change the trigger position, i had originally intended on simply swapping the springs to maintain the stock trigger position but with the lighter 2.75# pull. however, with the G trigger design the springs weren't a match - slightly shorter trigger spring. makes sense as the G trigger is slightly more rearward than stock.
that said, besides the known difference in position, the light trigger pull is excellent. definitely going to be a fast gun, much like the light pull SSP or SD3G triggers for AR's. i'm extremely happy with the pull weight now. while the trigger position is more rearward than stock, not a deal breaker for me. has a very clean single stage feel and short reset. that about wraps up my "mods" for this gun: HBI right safety selector delete, HBI lighter safety springs, Geissele Super APC trigger. not much else that can really be done to the gun itself at this point. I know there is another thread about the G trigger being a "fail" due to the rearward positioning, but if you are looking for a light, crisp, short trigger - I'd highly recommend. |

this is the Gen 2 correct? https://www.brownells.com/firearms/handguns/semi-auto/ghm9-pistol-9mm-1-30rd-mag-prod104753.aspx?avs%7cManufacturer_1=BzzxzzT%2bUSA |

Can someone explain the different telescoping stock lengths? Seems like there's a long and a short version. Do they have the same notches and different stops or different stops too?

It was likely some time in 2017 before they really started showing up on dealer shelves because getting all the ATF and customs clearances can take a while, but production for the US market began in 2016 as evidenced by the 2016 serial number prefix on the first batch of guns. All of the guns with the first gen feedramps have 2016 serial number prefixes. Here’s a video of Tim Nickler from B&T stating the GHM9 with the HP fix will be available for order after Shot Show in 2018. Clearly you’re mistaken with your “mid to late 2016”. Give it up man!

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I have been doing research for my first 9mm PCC and really like the reviews of the B&T GHM9, especially with the Gen-2 Glock magazine compatibility change. I saw a video from TFBTV during SHOT Show 2019 and the B&T rep indicated the Glock lower would run around $500. I don't want to shell out $1300 for the GHM9 and have to pay another $500 to use the Glock magazines. Does anyone know if B&T will offer the GHM9 with the Glock lower already installed or will it only be an upgrade option?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Northman11: While I like the idea of having a weapon platform that uses compatible magazines across the board, having to buy a separate $500 lower to do so makes it really expensive. I really like the design of the GHM9 but $1800 for a 9mm pistol that accepts Glock magazines is a bit rich and it doesn't even come with a stock at that price. Are any of you actually considering buying the Glock lower? I’m considering buying the Glock lower. At 45-50 per mag it starts to add up, and if you already shoot Glock, and have a ton if mags it really starts to make sense. Especially since you can drop Glock mags loaded or unloaded and be just fine, unlike the B&T mags |

It would be nice to have the glock capability but even if I do buy one I’d likely still use the standard version...why? 1) angle of glock mags for reload and 2) most importantly, the speed and ease of loading the B&T mags. With the speed loader i can easily load 2-3 mags per minute at a casual pace; and more mags if I speed up. glock mags on the other hand are more time/labor intensive, even with a “speed” loader like the uplula or standard glock loader (which I prefer between the two)... not a big deal when you’re shooting a mag or 2, but when you shoot volume makes a big difference |

What are some good options for non-grip hand stops for the GHM9? I am going Aimpoint for the optic, so was wondering if there was some foreign goodness to match.
