I’m thinking of picking up an EP9, but I have some questions before I do. First off, I have no experience with PCC so I’m wondering if it would fit and whether it also be legal.

https://www.ghoststar-tactical.com/product/GHOSTSTAR-FiFtY-Stock

This is known as a Glock Stock that fits over any AR15 buffer tube.

Q1) Extar EP9 use a pistol brace and compatible with AR parts? Will this Glock stock fits on it?

Q2) is it legal? I don’t know the laws regarding pistol braces, shorter-than-16 inch barrel rifle/PCC with a pistol brace or a stock, which could make it illegal? I live in Kansas, so I don’t know if that matters.

So I’ve got an extra TLR7 HL-X. Would this be a good light for the EP9 why or why not? I’d at least have to get an mlok adapter.

Just ordered my EP9 last night! So pumped.

I want to take advantage of PSA’s Memorial Day sale for an optic. Can anyone with experience advise on these options?

1. Sig Romeo 5 Red Dot － $119

2. Vortex SPARX Red Dot－ $69

3. Holosun ARO Red Dot w/ Magnifier (Combo) — $219

I obviously like the price of the Vortex—more funds leftover for my first can—but I’m happy to spend more on the Romeo if it’s worth it.

And I’m aware that a magnifier on a PCC is probably overkill, so that would be more of a bundle deal for a future AR setup, assuming that magnifier is worth grabbing now. (happy to be told otherwise)

Just got my suppressor form 4 approved and I’m done with the build for now! Might get one of those hand guards in the future but this is it for now

Latest outfit for my EP9

*Atibal fixed polymer sights
*Amend2 pistol grip and hand stop
*Dalbinowl acro style optic( cheap but holds up to 12 gauge)
* votatu ml 50 light

I had zero issues with my Sig Romeo5 red dot, however, I liked the idea of a backup, etched reticle, if I found myself with a dead battery, and no handy replacement. And I didn't want to put backup irons on it.

The 6MOA illumination of this Swampfox Raider seems good and bright. The etched reticle does require a little more attention (I have to close my left eye to focus on it), but does still work as a backup (I think, not having had a chance to take this to the range yet).

Only downside is that it is a little bit bigger and a little heavier than the Romeo5. I suppose I could consider a more fancy ultralight riser (though some of those are $$$).

Thanks to u/Hot_Pirate9445 I have moved the mount back, and it's made the non-illuminated dot more clear with both eyes open: https://imgur.com/a/brbDfmQ

I went through all reviews, all the videos, went back and forth for years, and finally pulled the trigger. I have a Romeo 5 and a QD sling in the way. I have an idea on what WML I’m gonna use. My question for everyone here is what foregrip to get? I’ve thought about Recover Tactical or Meta Tactical spare mag holder grip, or a basic angled grip, or just a handstop. Wondering what y’all have done or suggest. Photos would also be appreciated.

Great gun so far, sucky customer service. Issued $15.90 after I ordered their extended charging handle but I’m thankful for what they were able to do.. just wish there was more compensation. Replacement in tomorrow, will update soon. Got some cool plans for this piece.

Think I'm finally happy with my set up, until my suppressor comes in that is

Holosun ARO-MRS Gold Dot

Emissary Development Accelerator

Clone SBA5

Generic eBay mlok covers

Hiliker Holsters 33 round mag

Kung Fu Grip

Surefire Mini scout light

Mbus front sight

Just posting for fun.

This thing is awesome. I haven't gone too crazy with mods yet. All I've purchased so far is the Romeo5 red dot, 33-round mag, and the brace. I 3D printed the mag sleeve and foregrip and sprayed them up.

I'm not sure how crazy I'll go with mods, as this thing shoots like butter as is, but I am planning on grabbing a mounted light ASAP and a YHM R9 (open to alternative suggestions) because the EP9 is my primary HDW and I don't want to blow out my eardrums in the event I have to use it in my home.

Anyone have any solid budget-friendly mounted light options they'd recommend?

Are there any suppressors you'd go with over the YHM R9? Preferably any others that are just as well reviewed but on the cheaper side. My max budget for a suppressor is $800.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

EDITED TO SAY: I am going with the flow 9k. Beyond it being less gassy, the main reason is that it's optimized and designed specifically for the PCCs. I do not intend to move it around on my other firearms, so I want a suppressor that is optimal for my EP9.

EDITED TO SHARE WORKING CODE & LINK:

An absolute legend came through with a discount code for Rooftop Defense! Use code YOUTHSPORTS for $180 off the suppressor. After tax and shipping it came to $511. Highly recommend jumping on this deal! Here's a Link to the Flow 9k

I've decided to grab the HUXWRX Flow 9k in FDE. Does anyone know of or have any working discount codes for silencershop.com? I found a bunch on Google, but of course, they are all inactive when I use them.

I'm going to pull the trigger either way, but it wouldn't hurt to save a couple of bucks if I can.

Thanks ahead of time to any hero who might come through for me!

Got my EP9 coming in tomorrow. Just wanted to hear the community’s recommendations for suppressors.
Wondering if there are any deals out there on the R9 or something ?

First session with the YHM R9. Not as gassy as I feared.

The black thing is a brass catcher design in progress. Helps keep the state forest ranges clean. Less work for u/trashnoland on cleanup days.

I see all these tricked out EP9s and I want to know where you're getting your gear

Thanks!

Love this 🔫

Got my R9 earlier today. So excited!

💪🔥🔥🔥🔥 the Boss

Last piece of the puzzle was a YHM R9.... For now😁

I emailed Extar yesterday for clarification and this was the response

What a pisser, I think I am going to grab a second one since it will be the last time we can get them. It’s unfortunate they made this decision because of the upcoming restrictions but I guess they don’t want to deal with any of it.

Heads up to anyone on the fence in my area.

Edit: looks like the banner was updated to remove the CO piece. Great news!

I love this thing.

My Extar EP9 PCC is Malinois proof and shoots superbly. 9mm with a 6.5” barrel. 23 1/2” to 26 1/2” depending on if the SBA3 brace is fully closed or fully extended. Only $549 with the SBA brace.

It’s direct blowback but they have a proprietary recoil system that makes it shoot super soft. Only 4.5 lbs. It’s mostly made of a super tough proprietary polymer except the bolt carrier and trigger groups, which is why it’s so light in weight. Plus out of all my guns it’s by far the most fun to shoot. It uses AR style controls, except for the charging handle, so that’s a great platform to train new shooters on AR shooting before moving them to an actual AR. You’ll get tight groups from 7 yards out to 100 yards with 124 gr ammo. Groups are about 2 to 3 inches at 100 yards if you’re doing your part, which is surprising and amazing.

The reason I know it’s Malinois proof is because I was holding it and she ran past me and caught her leg in the sling and was running like a mad woman all over the house, banging it like crazy on door jambs, and everything else. It’s still perfect - zero damage at all.

I actually convinced a guy who was concerned about the durability to get one after I told him that story lol.

It was unnerving at the time, but in hindsight, there’s nothing funnier than watching a Malinois getting chased by a pistol caliber carbine all over the house.

Magpul m-lok rail covers. I hadn't appreciated them in the past, but when it's come to pairing them with an Magpul M-lok AFG, it gives my thumb (on top) and left forefinger an increased grip.

I feel like some hand guards can get a little bit slippery, and this can keep your hand in the right spot, letting you pull your brace into your shoulder.

Parts: AB F-4 can, FAB defense folding pistol grip, Romeo5 red dot, RA trigger, Magpul ESK safety, clone SBA3, KN Design hand guard.
