B&T Suppressors: Rotex, SQD, SRBS & Hush Puppy — Features, Specs and What to Know [Video]

Overview

Swiss manufacturer B&T (Brügger & Thomet) is known for professional-grade suppressors used by military, law enforcement and precision shooters. Their lineup spans compact pistol kits, quick-detach pistol/SMG cans, lightweight full-auto rifle devices, and reduced-backpressure hybrids. This guide breaks down the Rotex, SQD, SRBS and Hush Puppy families so you can match capabilities to mission or range use.

B&T Rotex (Rotex / Print-X Rotex)

What it is: The B&T Rotex family is B&T’s lightweight, high-performance rifle suppressor line optimized for low weight, minimal point-of-impact shift, and sustained/automatic fire compatibility.

Construction & tech: Rotex variants include conventionally machined and additive-manufactured (Print-X) options. Many reference B&T’s HUB mounting ecosystem for flexible compatibility with common muzzle devices.

Best for: Operators and shooters who need a durable, low-weight rifle suppressor suitable for high-tempo or full-auto use and who prioritize minimal POI shift.

B&T SQD (SQD / Print-X SQD)

What it is: The B&T SQD family is B&T’s modular quick-detach suppressor platform for pistol and submachine-gun calibers. It emphasizes fast attachment/removal via the SQD tri-lug mounting system and is available in multiple lengths and finishes.

Construction & tech: Available in lightweight materials including titanium/Print-X builds and anodized aluminum, SQD models are modular so users can tailor compact or full-length configurations. Some models incorporate reduced backpressure features to aid autoloading reliability.

Best for: Pistol-caliber carbines, SMGs, and pistol owners who want a fast QD system with proven durability.

B&T SRBS (Slim Reduced Backpressure System)

What it is: SRBS is B&T’s hybrid suppressor family engineered to lower backpressure while still delivering meaningful signature reduction — available in sizes optimized for 5.56 and 7.62 applications.

Construction & tech: SRBS designs use modern manufacturing techniques and materials to balance durability and mass; they’re intended for short-barrel rifles and weapons that must remain reliable under sustained fire.

Best for: Short-barrel rifles, gas-operated platforms, and users who prioritize reliable cycling and reduced gas fouling during rapid strings.H2 — B&T SRBS (Slim Reduced Backpressure System)

B&T Hush Puppy

What it is: The B&T Hush Puppy is an ultra-compact integrated suppressor kit built around Glock platforms (commonly Glock 19 configurations). It’s designed for large suppression performance in the smallest possible footprint.

Construction & tech: Hush Puppy kits use user-replaceable wipes and ablatable elements for tuning and maintenance, offering high suppression without an added booster on many pistol setups.

Best for: Shooters who want an integrated, compact suppressed Glock system for duty or discreet carry-centric applications.

Quick buyer’s checklist

• Caliber & host compatibility: Confirm exact model/caliber and mounting (HUB, SQD tri-lug, 1.375×24, etc.).
• Material tradeoffs: Inconel/718/steel = durability; titanium/Print-X = weight savings.
• Backpressure & cycling: If you run short barrels or autoloading platforms, prioritize reduced-backpressure (RBS/SRBS) designs.
• Mounting ecosystem: Decide whether you want cross-compatible HUB/SQD mounts or a purpose-built dedicated mount.
• Legal & transfer: Suppressors are regulated items in many jurisdictions — verify local laws and transfer or tax stamp requirements.
