[SHOT 2023] BRG-USA Releases BRG9 Tactical and BRG9 Gen2

BRG-USA continues to bring improvements to their already well received BRG9 with their Gen2 and BRG9 Tactical Models new for this year. We had the opportunity to put our hands on some of these new models while out attending SHOT Show 2023 in Las Vegas, and we’re here to report back what they had to share about these exciting new handguns they’re bringing to the market.

[SHOT 2023] BRG-USA Releases BRG9 Tactical and BRG9 Gen2

The original BRG9 was a hit, bringing excellent features and capabilities for an incredible price point. BRG-USA did listen to the market and is releasing their Gen2 incorporating design changes that their customers asked for. One of the biggest changes is to the grip texture. The original had a smooth traditional grip and now the Gen2 and Tactical have a much more aggressive texture giving a more secure feel in the hand without being too aggressive.

Both models are optics ready and come in a complete package, two magazines, solid case, and a cleaning kit.

BRG9 Tactical is more geared towards competition shooting, larger capacity magazine, threaded barrel, and 3.5lb match trigger. The grip safety has also been omitted on the Tactical model.
