Is Grand Power's Stribog SP9-A3 Just As Good As B+T's APC9 Pro?(Braced Pistol Full Range Review)

We go to the new cabin range to try out what is my personal favorite Slovakian Stribog model, the fullsized & roller delayed blowback SP9A3. After trying it out on its own, next we compare it with the famous Swiss B+T APC9K Pro (SCW); another 9mm braced pistol.

Bought the BOG SP9A3 3 yrs ago for $760. It worked perfectly out of the box. I have upgraded since then. Looove it. If I could afford the APC9 pro I'd buy it, however.

[@brucep9342]

From the over the shoulder prospective, the B&T's recoil looks more violent to me.

[@villarreal2025]

daaaammmm Mishaco, this video has crazy good clarity.

[@arconomach]

Love the Glock mag Stribog. Although I think the HB Industries extended bolt stop is a must buy.

[@gregorychu1380]

I have an early Sp9a3 which was affected by the recall. I didn't have any issues out of the box and it ran pretty smooth. Not as smooth as my MP5 clone but a lot better than most blowback 9mm PCCs. The new bolt/locking block I got back post-recall also worked but made the gun snappier. I replaced the locking block with the original 40 degree one and replaced the buffer and it now shoots smoother. I think the Sp9a3s would be more popular if they didn't screw up QC on the first batch and released them with curved mags. First impressions matter and the QC/mag issues soured many people on Grand Power. This all could've been avoided if they designed the guns to use scorpion mags which are reliable, widely available and cheap. It'd also make the stribog a more appealing option to current scorpion owners, since they could reuse their mags.

HK MP5 for the win

[@tsuchinokoz5036]

Loved the bog, but their first gen mags sucked bad, and found out as such the CS sucked too. So for that I’m out. But I always wanted to come back and try the “roller delayed”. And boy those .45 and 10mm ones may pull me back in!

[@dwightdenton525]

Mag problem fixed a few years back, your right though orig mags sucked and would crack.

[@ethan5.56]

I've almost picked up an sp9a1 but never did. Got an aero epc9 a while back with a 5.5 inch barrel but have yet to shoot it. Might do that this weekend if the heat index drops below 110 here in Arkansas 😂 great video

[@cercaz]

Both platform's factory mags blow donkey diq. Swapped out my APC9 Pro SD and SP9A3 to Scorpion lowers. Will swap out my KH9SD to Suomi mags

[@misha5670]

Have been using B+T mags since 2008. I've never really had any issues *shrug*

[@alexander1902]

I think the best answer is that they both do the same thing, just one looks better doing it. In this case, much better.

[@TheGunsNBlades]

Yes, yes it is. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@J.Panxer]

STRIBOG! Jealous! I missed the boat on those back in 2021. I instead got a Grand Power CP380, and I love it for a ccw.

[@mezrre4630]

Missed the boat? Are they not manufactured anymore? Was it a choice between Stribog or CP380?

[@J.Panxer]

Negative. Missed the boat on them being 500-600 dollars. The choice was between that and a Keltec Ksg12 at the time. Chose the shotgun for the needs I had then. Could probably pick one up used for around 2021 prices in 2024.

[@LosDoyerss]

The B&T doesn’t look smoother, looks like that adjustable brace is beating you up. Definitely not worth quadruple the price of the Stribog.

[@chrischiampo7647]

Hi Misha I Like The Shorty The Best 😀 Looks a Bit Stickley Out There On The Range 🥵🥵

[@misha5670]

That day wasn't too bad but still Arkansas in late July so...but this week? dearlord this week is the worst one yet.

[@chrischiampo7647]

@@misha5670 Same Here in Florida It’s A Tough Summer 😩🥵🥵🥵

[@Martin-hk5vb]

So instead of a fancy system like Stribog, all you need is a hydraulic buffer and an inline stock.

[@SPIN1963_]

Let me answer: No, it is not.

[@misha5670]

But putting that to the test at the range is where the fun's at.

[@thedumbguncollector5546]

No

[@heinruh9788]

[@MyWhipsA_V]

Mini bog and a 8 dollar trigger spring and the hbi buffer 35 bucks ftw
