First shot. Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a BRG9 Elite made in Turkey, imported by Buffalo Cartridge Company. Now, these were introduced at Chacho a couple years ago. A lot of people took notice. It very much is a budget handgun. But it has some features on there that a lot of people around here like. And I find it pretty attractive for the price. We're going to talk about the price. Let's take a look at the case. It comes with two mags, 16 round mags. There is the other one. Two additional back straps, a speed loader. And on this side, it has three board brushes, a regular cleaning brush, a lock, patches, and some oil to keep the pistol lubricated. Now this is the bare bones model. It is becoming more and more popular as time goes by, I think the price that they are asking for is the driving factor. Although it functions really nice. I took it to the range. I did not put a lot around through it. But I had no issues with it whatsoever. There is another model for 10 bucks more than this MSRP that they call Tutone. It has what looks to be a stainless slide. And I don't know if it's PVD coated, I doubt it's serrated, but it's $10 more than this. And $20 more than this is a flat-out girth model. Then they have a couple more with higher capacity. They call that the Gen 2 better grip texturing. That is optic ready and then another one that has a threaded barrel and suppressor height sites. This is the bare bones model. The MSRP on this is $250. And that is why I think it is becoming more and more attractive to various shooters. So let's get to it. I already mentioned 16-round mags. It has four-word serrations there. We'll check clear. It's a mix between a full size. You get the full size grip there, especially with the mag in there. It feels full size, but it has a four-inch barrel. It has a little pick rail right there. A flat trigger that breaks right at five pounds. BRG is calling it a single action trigger. And it feels like your standard Palmer frame trigger that's a little bit lighter than the Glock five and a half pounds. Some minor finger grooves, the grip texturing is not overly aggressive at all. It's actually quite smooth as well as the back strap has some texturing bumps on there as well as the front strap. It is ambidextrous with the magazine released, not the slide stop. So you can drop that with your trigger finger and you notice a grip safety right here. With the grip safety unengaged, the slide will not activate nor will the trigger once engaged that will and the trigger will as well. It is a flat trigger by the way. It has that trigger safety in there, but that's a flat trigger. And the sights are three dots. It has two in the back drift adjustable and an orange front sight. Additionally, it has a cocked striker indicator on the rear of the slide and a loaded indicator on top, that bar that sticks up. Overall not bad. When I took it to the range, I said I didn't put a lot around through it, but I put enough to basically function check it. And like I said, it fed fire ejected everything just fine. I think if I spent some more time with it, I could have been a little more accurate, I was not complaining for a hang on of this price. To disassemble, you just lock the slide back, you push this lever down. You are clear, drop the slide, pull the trigger and you can see it has a dual recoil spring, all steel guide rod and the four inch barrel. Clearly machined and that's one thing that has been consistent with a lot of the Turkish made guns. They do a good job with that. We could say what we want about the politics of it all, but they make some pretty clean handguns and shotguns. There's no doubt. Heavy frame rails and there's a look at the frame and then we just slide it back on and lock the slide back and push that lever forward and there you go. Did it pass the Limpress test? I'm so sick of this Limpress test, but we're going to show it anyways because it is back with the BRG 9 Elite and it has been in high demand. Let's hit the BRG 9, we'll chamber around when forcing a mag in the mag well. And it tried to, but you can see the bolts right there, so we will drop the mag, help that out and now it's on the ground. That time it did and according to the load of chamber indicator, it chambered. How about a Limpress test? Now when we do a Limpress test with the grip safety, that has to be engaged, so we'll go ahead and do that. And the dead trigger and that's it. So it passed that time. Another time when I was playing with it off a camera, I went to charge around and it dropped a slide, but it did not charge. So I'm going to give this a solid B between a that and a B minus. Let's get the BRG 9 Elite on the scale. The mag isn't inserted. You're looking at 1 pound, 14 and an eighth ounce. We'll move that to just ounces, 30 and an eighth. Here are 16 rounds. We're loaded mag, 36 and 7 eighths and then we'll throw that carry around. 37 and a quarter ounces, just for reference. Here's a HKVP9. We'll throw that on there. 34 ounces even. And that's with 17 rounds. So you're looking at an additional three ounces heavier with the BRG 9 Elite. So there is the BRG 9 Elite. Has the grip safety on there. You're looking at $250 MSRP, $354 Optic Ready and 504 Optic Ready, Higher Capacity Suppressor Height Sights and a Threaded Burl. They priced it to sell. Right out of Vindalee Ohio. As we're being imported and people are eating these up. They're saying, you know what, they shoot well, have no problem with it. It functions fine and that's been my experience so far but time will tell. And I'll put a few more rounds through it perhaps to compare this with some other handguns and see how well it holds up.
