The Universal Service Weapon, or USW is in category entirely of its own. This unique platform bridges the gap between pistol and submachine gun; designed specifically for police officers, Gendarme, low-visibility soldiers and intelligence officers requiring a concealable pistol-sized platform capable of SMG-like precision, effective range and control.
The USW is similar in size to a traditional service pistol but incorporates a spring-assisted stock that folds flat against the receiver when not in use for a streamlined package and nondescript appearance. With the press of a button, the stock unfolds, and is locked firmly in place by the user, providing both a shoulder and cheek weld. The slope of the stock perfectly aligns the eye behind an Aimpoint ACRO P2 red dot sight affixed to a non-reciprocating bridge mount. The red dot sight coupled with additional points of contact greatly stabilize the platform — similar to a 9mm police carbine — thereby extending its effective range out to, and beyond 100 meters, even in the hands of average shooters.If a policeman is a “First Responder” to an active shooter event, they’re able to take immediate action — at a safe distance — even against heavily armed terrorists.

The B&T USW (Universal Service Weapon) was developed specifically for law enforcement professionals who needed a weapon with the compactness of a service pistol and the accuracy akin to a pistol caliber carbine. The USW achieves this with a spring loaded folding stock, allowing the operator to effectively engage targets at ranges over 80 yards away when the stock is deployed. The stock is narrow, lightweight and quickly extends, but doesn’t affect the pistol’s performance when folded. To enhance the accuracy even further, the USW comes equipped with the Aimpoint ACRO Micro Red Dot Sight. This optic is the smallest, most low profile red dot currently produced by Aimpoint, and is exclusively sold with B&T firearms.
In addition to its impressive accuracy, the USW itself is packed with user-friendly features. The front of the slide sports long cocking serrations with an enhanced front cocking index, allowing the USW to be easily racked from multiple shooting positions. The USW also comes with a de-cocker allowing the loaded weapon to be holstered or stored safely, as well as a threaded muzzle for use with a suppressor or other muzzle device.
The USW-A1 combines the size of a duty pistol with the extended range and accuracy of a 9mm police carbine. Engage targets effectively at 250 feet. The USW comes equipped with Aimpoint ACRO® Micro Red Dot Sight, and spring-loaded folding stock, and can easily be configured with the B&T Impuls OLS Suppressor.
Magazines of 17, 19 and 30 rounds are available. The USW concept is also available as a conversion and upgrade kit for other widely used service pistols. Concealment and level 2 duty holsters are available, as are full size and compact direct mount suppressors.
