The Brigade BM-15 pistol 5-inch FDE (brand part no. A5615522M) is a 5.56 NATO AR-pattern pistol finished in Cerakote FDE and fitted with an SBA3 tactical brace. Brigade Manufacturing builds it on forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers made in the USA, and the most compact barrel in the BM series defines this 5-inch version. It runs a direct gas impingement system with a mil-spec trigger, A2 pistol grip, ambidextrous charging handle and ambidextrous safety selector. It is well suited to backpack storage, close-quarters work and tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pistol or a short-barreled rifle? It is sold as a pistol. Brigade lists it with an SBA3 tactical brace on the buffer tube rather than a shoulder stock, so it is a 5-inch pistol, not a rifle.
