A Modern Stocked Pistol: B&T's Universal Service Weapon (USW)
This video delves into the B&T Universal Service Weapon (USW), exploring its innovative design and genesis. Originating from a desire to enhance police handgun effectiveness, the USW integrates a foregrip and shoulder stock to improve accuracy while maintaining holsterability. The description details early prototypes based on AT-84 Sphinx pistols and later experiments with models like the SIG P320, CZ P10, Walther PPQ, and Glock. A significant outcome of the project was the development of the Aimpoint Acro red dot sight, initially conceived as the Aimpoint Nano for B&T. The video also references a personal experience using a USW-320 in a 2022 competition.
