The BRG9 Elite is a Turkish 9x19 mm semi-automatic handgun from BRG Defence/Burgu Metal. BRG material describes forged-steel barrel and slide construction, a polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, accessory-rail fit, and firing-pin, trigger, and grip safety systems, with later BRG9-family listings adding optic-ready and threaded-barrel variants.
BRG presents the Elite as the standard full-size BRG9 pistol and places Gen2, Tactical, FD, and FDX models in the same 9 mm product family. The current U.S. Elite listing is a 17+1, 4.05 in model, while Gen2 and Tactical listings add the later optic-ready and threaded-barrel configurations.
Current BRG U.S. material lists a full-size 9x19 mm Elite with 17+1 capacity, 4.05 in / 103 mm barrel, forged-steel barrel and slide, polymer frame, interchangeable backstraps, and three listed safety systems.
