Design and mission-focused features

Built with a monolithic upper featuring an anodized green finish, the APC223’s 12.5″ barrel length balances compact maneuverability and ballistic performance. The upper integrates M-LOK accessory slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for lights, lasers, and foregrips — a necessity for urban and close-quarters work. The fully ambidextrous controls and FDE polymer lower make the platform accessible to all shooters while keeping weight down for extended carry.

Brace-ready and modular

The hinged backplate accepts a variety of folding brace assemblies, allowing operators to configure the pistol as a true compact defensive tool. This modularity is ideal for agencies or private owners who need mission adaptability — from vehicle operations to residential defense.

Cartridge choice and performance

Chambered in .223 Rem, this APC223 Pistol uses a common rifle-caliber cartridge that offers controllable recoil, flat trajectory, and broad ammunition availability. .223 Rem is effective for short- to medium-range engagements and is commonly adopted for patrol and tactical work where rapid follow-up shots and magazine capacity matter.

Why B&T and this limited run matter

B&T’s reputation for precision engineering and operator-grade products is reflected in this limited edition two-tone offering. The combination of an anodized green upper and Coyote Tan lower makes it collectible, while the hard-use features — M-LOK, ambidextrous controls, and brace compatibility — keep it relevant for real-world defense applications. Priced at $4,999.99, it’s positioned as a premium, limited-run option for discerning buyers. View product details and pricing
