I’m not 100% sure which mount he had, but it was ADM and it was just as low as my LT661 mount. 4. He uses the factor backup sights but with the T-2 he does not co-witness.

Just picked mine up, in for any info on braces. I am using a low geisselle mount with a Holosun, perfect cowitnes with the factory sights but have not fired
it.I will probably have to play with the dot positioning or get a different mount. Attached File Attached File |

Military arms channel posted a pic on their site with a collapsible stock and tailhook brace. I contacted gear head works and they said that configuration will come directly from B&T after SHOT.

I cut a factory stock and used techsmithmfg adapter for the tailhook. I haven't decided what red dot to get for this yet.

View Quote Since posting, I have managed to get my hands on a GHM9 that my FFL/SOT had with the factory stock and an Aimpoint T1. I liked the setup, but the stock didn't want to lock into place. So I am a bit hesitant to F1 mine at this time. I am waiting for Shot Show and see what other solutions present themselves. I have a funny feeling that B&T is going to be around for a while and only gaining in popularity. Here's hoping. |

Now that's a brace that would stop me from SBRing something! Most braces IMO look like a stray dog took a dump on the back of the gun, but I'd definitely buy that setup.

I’m sure it’s not going to be cheap, but it may not cost as much as the APC9/45 stock. Regardless of price, I will run mine with the brace.

I’m down for two of the new braces. I just secured 4x Suomi coffin 50rd mags for my KH9!

B&T GHM9 9mm Pistol with Tailhook Brace! |
|
|
I really thought I would be content with my TP9.......
damn you all |
|
|
Any word on whether this brace will fit the TP9 as well?
|
|

I may be in a position to pick up an APC9 or a GHM9. I will not be able to suppress it or sbr it. It will likely stay a pistol for a while. Outside of the cost difference, is there a benefit to one or the other? I know the secondary buffer spring is in a different location, but other than that I just prefer the way the APC9 looks.

Is there anything new on the GHM9's supposed problem with cycling hollow points? Last I heard was that B&T was addressing it.

I think the folding stock for the APC9 is more comfortable once it’s SBR’d than the wire stock of the GHM9. I did not like the collapsible stock for the APC9, but I do like the way the collapsible brace for the GHM9 looks. The GHM9 backup sights are significantly better than the APC9 sights. View Quote |

The stock options for the GHM9 are what keeps me from getting one.
That slider looks a lot nicer than the folder. |
|
|
I have the APC9 as well as the Kh9, P26, and TP9 and I too was skeptical of the "wire stock", but I actually really like it. The compactness of it , the length of pull and it's far sturdier than it appears.

And now a compact model!

I was on the fence about picking up a GHM9 since I already have the APC9 and plan on getting the SD. After seeing the GHM9 compact... if they bring this to the states... I am definitely game for this one.
edit... If B&T keeps this up... I will never be able to retire... |
|
|
I'm still on the fence between the APC9, and the GHM9. I was set on the APC9, but the recent SB Tactical brace setup on the GHM9 looks VERY promising. It will be my first PCC, and I plan on suppressing it with a Deadair Wolf.
Does the APC9 offer any tangible benefits for the increased price? |

This place is going to cost me a lot of money in the near future..................I was leaning toward one of the new Scorpion compact pistols with brace, but I really like this one a lot..............collapsible or folding brace. Probably going to have to sell something to fund it.............

PSA... Scott at THSF is getting in FIVE more Gen 2 GHM9's in tomorrow and they will be $1326. There isn't a better B&T dealer out there and he is really great to work with. These five gen 2 GHM9's won't last long so you guys had better hurry.
