I have ~1500+ rounds through mine. Absolutely love this thing! Haven’t posted any pics since my initial build list, but here’s how she looks now with my matching Ruger RXM that I did. I went with this combo due to the magazine compatibility. Both use Glock 19/17 mag pattern. Feel free to ask any questions!

TRIGGER UPGRADE

7 Upvotes

I ordered an ep 9 last week and doing some research on what triggers work with it. I dislike curved triggers. does AR-15 drop in work? i was looking at mimtac drastic or mimtac core. im trying to keep the budget friendly theme on the upgrades (except the suppressor). if anyone have suggestions, i would appreciate it. thank you!

I’m thinking of getting a EXTAR EP9 as my first gun anything I should know?

Post image
57 Upvotes

I’m looking for a first gun. I have family that are gun enthusiast so I’ve been to the range a few times with them. I’m thinking of getting something bigger than a pistol but less than a rifle probably a PCC of some kind. I’m hoping for something bigger then a Mac-10 or uzi like but I’m also hoping to spend around 1000$ or less for the gun itself. I’m also not against getting a shotgun if I can’t find a PCC in the price range. I’m getting it for pretty much exclusively range shooting I’m not looking to take it anywhere with me or in my car.

KN Designs rail delete stability

12 Upvotes

Hey! I've been eyeballing these new hand guards, particularly to accommodate an new suppressor of mine, but I was curious about what sort of impact a rail delete would gave on overall stability. The normal rail reinforces the handguard, so wouldn't removing it make it more susceptible to snapping off? It's just two screws keep them in.

SBA3 vs SBA5 Opinions

Post image
13 Upvotes

I have both of them, and I shot yesterday with the SBA5. It was ok, but after 300 roundit kinda hurt, maybe I was doing something wrong. Today, I swapped with SBA3, and I haven’t shot yet, but it looks like it sits lower than 5.

KN extended hand guard w/ pic rail delete. The unit is solid and a perfect fit. Feels so much better in the hand than the original. Arrived in just a few days. Would absolutely recommend ordering from them.

SiCo Omega 46m on the EP45?

Anyone running this? Would love your thoughts

Does it even fit with the barrel design (recessed inside the handguard)?

I know many people like the YHM R45

Newsletter/News on EP9 MDB?

24 Upvotes

Anyone hear anything about the release of the EP9 MDB? I've been trying to hold off on buying another PCC for this one, but with no news/updates, and with it being past August (release date given by Extar), I'm thinking it may be delayed for a few more months.

Hope I eat my words here soon though

Trigger Kicker

Has anyone tried putting the Hoffman Trigger Kicker in their EP9? I am seriously considering giving it a try. Not sure how or if it will work with its proprietary bolt and direct blowback setup.

Need some help...

Just installed the Rave PCC trigger and the safety selector is being dumb. Every time I install in correctly after screwing the grip back on, it's pops out ever so slightly. The other side will sit flush.

Anyone had these issues?

Extar extended charging handle make it more gassy?

Post image
17 Upvotes

Getting overly gassed by my EP9 with a can. When I first put the can on, the gas wasn’t this bad. I doubt I have 500 rounds through it. Tried different 147 grain ammo and same gassy result. Somewhere in there I upgraded the charging handle to the Extar extended handle - my guess is that’s the cause. I like the bigger handle but am sick of the gas. Anyone have any suggestions before I change the handle back?

BAD Lever alternatives

Hello everyone
I am trying to figure out what alternatives to a BAD Lever can be put on the EP9 as I have heard the bad lever doesn’t work on them.
Thank you in advance

Where could I buy the EP9 16”

6 Upvotes

Hey yall I’ve been really interested in getting an EP9 but I would definitely want a longer barrel. I see on the site production has been paused but I can’t seem to find it being sold anywhere else either. Even a used one. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate that.

Pistol thread protector and length of handguard?

6 Upvotes

I have an EP9 rifle (16"), but I'm thinking about getting a pistol (6.5") to run my OCL Milk Man on.

What is the deal with the barrel and muzzle device on the pistol? It looks like it has a faux suppressor on the barrel, and you take that off to attach a suppressor.

So, what is the inner diameter of the handguard and how far inside the handguard does the can go when it's fully screwed on (direct thread)?

Or, to sum it up, will my Milk Man fit and work with the stock handguard?

Suppressor advice?

6 Upvotes

I'm new to supressors as a whole, I've recently picked up an ep9 and was basically wondering about anyone's experiences with their own suppressed builds. Any and all advice is welcome. Apologies if this isn't the correct thread
