The BRG9 Elite from BRG USA (Buffalo Cartridge Co.) is a striker-fired semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm with a 4-inch barrel. It has a polymer frame with a forged steel slide and barrel, finished in a duo-tone black and flat dark earth color scheme. The pistol ships with two 16-round magazines.

The BRG9 Elite competes in the budget-to-mid-range striker-fired 9mm space, and owners generally describe the fit and finish as solid for the price, with the forged steel slide and barrel holding up well to regular range use. A few buyers report needing a short break-in period before the action runs smoothly, which is common for pistols in this price bracket.

Handling feedback is largely positive: the grip safety and interchangeable feel of the frame get praised for keeping the gun comfortable across different hand sizes, and the ambidextrous magazine release is a small but appreciated touch for left-handed shooters. The dovetail sights are functional, though some owners upgrade them for a night-sight setup.

On value, most buyers see the BRG9 Elite as a reasonable alternative to more established striker-fired 9mm pistols, especially with two magazines included in the box. The main hesitation some shooters mention is aftermarket support, since holsters and spare parts are harder to find than for the big-name polymer pistols.

The comfortable fit and nice trigger stood out immediately. This is my second BRG9, and I remain impressed with how easy it is to use and how neatly it sits in its case with the included extras.
