I just purchased a APC9k pro. Looking into brace options, how do you get the hydraulics buffer on to the SB Tactical Folding Brace?

Looking at this brace: https://www.sb-tactical.com/product/sbti/ The buffer is mounted on the end cap that comes with the gun, that brace litteraly just bolts onto the end cap with the bolt/screw that comes with the gun. |

Nice! What is the preferred brace around here? I probably wont pay the $700 for the telescoping brace adapter. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlphaThree: I have one on a APC9k. It is noticeably thinner than the APC folding stock but I don’t mind it I guess because I’m used to the TP9 stock and telescoping stocks with equally shitty cheek welds. I think it looks cool and is compact. Not sure if that’s worth the cost....but I guess a lot of things B&T aren’t anyway It's tempting for sure. I currently have the telescoping/folding stock w/ the cheek riser on my APC9 Pro Tan edition, which is nice and beefy and works great when running an AR-15 height optic, but I'm thinking about going w/ a low mounted red dot instead and a lighter weight stock to drop some weight and make things a bit less bulky overall. Does this newer skeleton stock lock into place when folded? Thanks again! |

The sbtact one is fine, The tommy built one is nice, then there are a bunch that use tailhooks from a3 tactical. Dan Haga makes a picatany adapter so you can use a bunch of other stuff as well. |

Has anybody installed the HBI selector springs? I've worked the selector back and forth hundreds of times on my APC9K Pro and it's still stiff but better than when new.

ive got an extra recoil, extractor, ejector spring and few other small parts. Ive had mine for 3 years with no apparent wear, thousands of rounds (single thousands though). I just have them due to 1-proprietary, 2-Swiss and hard to find (get them while you can) and 3-importing gun parts often becomes political and id rather have them than not.
No concerns of longevity from my experience. |

Picked it up yesterday. This thing oozes quality.
One thing I noticed though is that it has a double feed ramp, obviously for the standard B&T mags. Any issue with the Glock mag version, which only presents one round in the middle? Any suggestions for a defensive load? I have plenty of 147gr HSTs and Ranger SXTs, but sometimes PCCs don’t feed hollow points very well. |

Now it just goes bang And I only use Glock mags, and shoot strictly suppressed |

Mine likes HST 147s out of the B&T mags. which is good, as its all i keep for HD 9mm. Never had issues with the mags falling out suppressed like some of the early full size non-pro's did, so im lucky there.
Mine now wears an EXPS 2, commie PERST 4 and a short obisidian 9 with the griffin flash hider cap. it might be my very favorite gun. |

Yep, same issue. Mine would clamp on but not lock. It would work, but if anything snagged the latch it would pop off. I ended up going with the Aimpoint TL with the B&T low mount. Much better option and it lines up with my cheek weld. |

The B&T rail has been known to cause issues with some mounting systems, ast the rail is narrower than the receiver, basically allowing the thickness of the receiver to interfere with clamping down. The B&T mounts work great, the KAC mounts work great, the reptillia mounts work great, some have said the Scalar works mounts don't work, but I have not found that to be the case. |

It’s not so much premature wear it’s more a shit happens thing and shit happens with the parts I listed on many gun designs. For example an owner on here had his apc9 extractor spring break and he had a paperweight because he didn’t have an extra part that cost $5 |

Ran into the same issue trying to put a Vortex UH-1 on my 9k (and onto the B&T rail I put on my SP5). Seems like B&T makes their rails with a little less clearance between the top of the receiver and the underside of the rail then most companies. |

It’s so stiff that at first I thought it was defective. I’m hesitant to take it apart and mess with the tolerance but it’s essentially h usable if you’re trying to drop the mag without offhand support. |

Thanks. The bottom of the standard tailhook bumps into me when I am firing with the brace collapsed and I am hoping the shorter tailhook would fix that issue.
But I am disappointed that my gun still often malfunctions when firing with the telescoping brace collapses. |

I’m going to guess (and I may be completely wrong) the fact that the first part of the silencer is basically a chamber to vent off excess gas from the ports, and the alignment baffle is in front of that which allows the baffles and all to be properly aligned has something to do with it. At least that’s how the inside of my TPM silencer is, so I’m assuming most SD internals are similar. |

I put a Geissele SD3G trigger in my APC9. You just use the extended pins that come with the APC on the new trigger. The issue that I had to overcome was that on the lower part of the face of the hammer, it impacts there on a metal insert that's on the frame of the apc lower. The specific APC triggers have a notch cut out so it can go forward enough to hit the firing pin before being stopped. I had to dremel out that metal insert (some people can just pull it out, mine was glued in) so the Geissele hammer would go forward far enough. It's been great ever since.
