Verdict
The B&T GHM9 is Brügger & Thomet's secondary PCC platform alongside the APC9 family (Batch 5). Same Swiss machining quality and design philosophy, scaled for a more cost-conscious tier of the law-enforcement training and sport-shooting markets. Glock-pattern magazine well, AR-pattern lower fit, polymer body. SOR/2024-248 named the GHM9 family on December 5, 2024 alongside the APC9, APC223, and all other B&T civilian rifle platforms. The Swiss postmortem on the Index now closes at four manufacturers and five platforms: B&T APC9 (Batch 5), B&T APC centrefire (Batch 12), B&T GHM9 (Batch 13), SIG SG 550 family (Batch 10), Astra Arms MG556 (Batch 12). Switzerland's commercial sport-rifle export presence on the Canadian market is fully Already Gone — three Swiss manufacturers, five entries, complete coverage.
