Which B&T’s are Maryland legal? (APC9 Pro?)

cms81586 · Apr 23, 2019

I want an APC9 Pro. Are they Maryland legal? If the B&T APC9 has in fact already been approved, does the Pro need a second MSP approval since it’s the same basic pistol with some slight redesign changes (charging handle location/removable pistol grip that takes AR PG’s instead of being molded into the lower)? Any dealers stock them in Maryland?

Thanks!

Check on the handgun roster Here:

From the pulldown select the manufacturer.
Your MD FFL should be able to tell you what is legal. It can sometimes be dicey because approvals are by SKU. 2 firearms that are functionally identical except, say for a finish color would theoretically need to be approved twice.

In the past, if a handgun is being sold as another model, it usually needs to get approval.

If the changes are minimal you might get it added to the roster as a "model addition only". New color, caliber or barrel length might qualify. Any larger change would need to have a sample sent in. And yes, it's the MSP's call as to whether a change is "minimal" or not. But the exact model number has to be on the roster or it can't be sold.

To add, many dealers are happy enough to work with you and MSP to have a model added. Just keep in mind it is likely going to add a few months of wait time and I’d imagine most dealers are going to want you buying the gun or paying for it up front.

If it just has the name and not the model number does that also mean it's approved. As long as the model is on the list?

I believe the board changed it's policy to drop model numbers as too often different models numbers were assigned by different distributors for essentially the same gun.

Beat me too it, model numbers changes are no longer a consideration for a hearing of the HGRB, the model simply gets added.

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why I saw some with numbers and some without.

The APC9 Pro is on the handgun roster.
