[SHOT 2023] New Safety Harbor KES Stock For APC-9

Safety Harbor Firearms continues to expand the lineup of Kompact Entry Stock (KES) with the addition of a Brugger & Thomet APC-9 model. Safety Harbor makes KES stocks and stabilizing braces for many popular PCC options. These include the CZ Scorpion, Grand Power Stribog, MP-5 and MP-5K, and Sig Sauer MPX. B&T has captured a large portion of the PCC market recently, so it makes sense that Safety Harbor added this model. Also, the APC-9K won the US Army Sub Compact Weapon contract in 2019.

The KES uses a dual-rail design, which allows the stock to collapse around the firearm. Side-folding options usually increase the thickness of a gun when folded. This style of collapsible stock adds a little extra length to the gun when collapsed, but is about the same thickness whether extended or retracted. This is an important feature when putting the gun in a backpack.

Safety Harbor anticipates shipping in Q2 or mid-year 2023. Anticipated MSRP is $279, which is the same as the MP-5 models.

In addition to the KES, Safety Harbor will soon make stock adapters for the APC-9. Versions include a Picatinny rail and an AR-15 carbine tube mount. Both incorporate a QD sling mount. Prototypes were on display in the white, so anticipate some changes in production models.
