B&T Announces Station SIX Suppressed Pistol With a direct ode to the British Welrod of World War II behind the lines in occupied Europe fame, B&T USA has a new pistol inbound for those seeking some quiet time. The Station SIX (Silenced Project caliber 9) pistol gets its name from the WWII-era Station IX of the Special Operations Executive. The SOE, often referred to as Winston Churchill s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, was formed in mid-1940 at a time when the British stood alone against the Axis. It was tasked with coaching irregular warfare units behind the German lines. One of the group s odd guns was the almost totally suppressed .32 ACP Welrod pistol, designed at Station IX by the SOE s Inter-Services Research Bureau.
