About B&T (Brügger & Thomet)
Who Is B&T?
Brügger & Thomet AG was founded in 1991 in Thun, Switzerland, originally as a manufacturer of high-precision firearm components. Over time, the company evolved into a complete firearms and suppressor manufacturer, earning a global reputation for Swiss engineering quality, durability, and precision.
Today, B&T products are used by European military units, NATO forces, and law enforcement agencies, as well as professional and civilian shooters who value consistent sound suppression and long-term reliability.
To better serve the American market, B&T USA was established in Tampa, Florida. This expansion provides U.S. customers with localized support, distribution, and service while maintaining the Swiss design standards that define the brand.
What Makes B&T Suppressors Unique
B&T suppressors are known for precision machining, exceptional tone control, and consistent performance under high-stress conditions. They are engineered to integrate seamlessly with B&T firearms while remaining compatible with a wide range of non-B&T platforms.
A key component of B&T’s modern suppressor designs is the RBS (Reduced Backpressure System). This system vents excess gas forward, reducing blowback into the action and the shooter’s face. The result is cleaner operation, improved handling, and reduced carbon buildup—especially important on semi-automatic platforms.
Where Are B&T Suppressors Made?
B&T suppressors are engineered and manufactured in Switzerland, reflecting the country’s long-standing tradition of precision craftsmanship. U.S. customers receive sales support, distribution, and service through B&T USA in Tampa, Florida.
Every product benefits from strict Swiss quality control standards, ensuring performance and reliability that meet both military and civilian expectations.

Why Choose B&T Suppressors
B&T suppressors combine elite-level performance with civilian-ready compatibility. Trusted by NATO and European police agencies, these suppressors deliver a balance of low flash signature, reduced gas blowback, and tight point-of-impact consistency.
They are ideal for shooters who prioritize craftsmanship, refined tone, and reliability over brute-force suppression.
How B&T Suppressors Work
The RBS is the heart of B&T’s suppressor design philosophy. It directs a portion of expanding gases forward, reducing the amount that cycles back into the firearm. This minimizes blowback, heat stress, and carbon fouling while improving overall comfort for the shooter.
Compared to traditional baffle systems, RBS-equipped suppressors provide a cleaner and more consistent shooting experience, particularly on semi-automatic and full-automatic firearms. The result is improved reliability, reduced gas to the face, and smoother operation under sustained fire.
The B&T Suppressor Lineup
B&T offers a full range of suppressors covering rimfire, pistol, and rifle calibers. Below are a few standout options that showcase the brand’s precision engineering, durability, and reduced-backpressure performance.
B&T Tiger 22: A Classy and Classic .22 Silencer
A precision rimfire suppressor with minimal point-of-impact shift and a sleek, lightweight design, the Tiger 22 is ideal for training or small-game setups. It delivers consistent sound suppression and repeatable accuracy even after thousands of rounds. A titanium option is also available.
B&T Print XH RBS: Tough Yet Lightweight .223 Suppression
A centerfire 5.56 suppressor featuring B&T’s Reduced Backpressure System, the Print XH RBS is tuned for precision .223 platforms. Its hybrid Inconel and titanium construction helps reduce gas blowback while maintaining accuracy in a compact 7.28-inch package.
B&T SRBS 762: An Uncompromising .30-Caliber Can
A robust .30-caliber suppressor designed for larger rifle platforms, the SRBS 762 balances precision, suppression, and durability. It delivers consistent tone, minimized flash, and reliable performance whether used on a dedicated .30-caliber rifle or as a multi-caliber workhorse. A titanium model is also available.
