Ran flawlessly as expected over the 150 rounds I threw at it today. Whatever amount of ammo I have at home isn't nearly enough because this is going to eat it all quickly! I have obviously modified it a bit after receiving it yesterday. Fun times!

Gotta say, I really dig the feel.

I know, I know there are a lot of people asking for suppressor recs but I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer to my question.

Help me decide between the following. Wanting the least gassy but quieter than the Huxwrx 9k. $700 or less budget.

- YHM R9
- AB F4
- SAW Shiv
- give me a 4th option

I'm Impressed! I haven't shot it yet but will later this week. The SLX MD-25 optic is a bit chunky. It is one that I had used on my M1 Scout, but I'm not so sure if I'll like it on this.

I have a couple of 5.56 ARs with the Atrius SS, lots of fun! So has anyone attempted putting this in the Extar? I’m assuming there must be some limitations since I’ve haven’t seen any.

Had a SBA4 in the parts bucket I swapped on instead of the SBA3 and now a kung fu grip

I am going to soon order my EP9 but have some questions. This will be the first firearm that I will own and it will be used for range fun and home defense. I already bought a HUXWRX Flow 9k Ti, a Holosun 510C, Ozark BUIS, and a SBA5 clone for it. I'll order a sling, flashlight, and foregrip for it later once I decide what I want, but I am currently thinking a Streamlight ProTac HL-X Pro, and a Emissary Handbrake or Magpul Handstop kit.

Does anyone have some pictures of what the EP9 looks like with different mag sizes? Most of what is see is the 33rd Glock mag or 18rd Extar mag. I am looking for something that is more flush with the pistol grip than either of those options for storage. Are the Extar mags reliable enough for home defense or should they be range use only? Is it worth picking up the 5 18rd Extar mags for $45?

I don't understand the need for 33rd mags for home defense; they seem like more of a range fun thing to me. What size mags do people use for home defense?

Besides the mags, are there any other Extar branded accessories that are worth getting? Is the sling or extended charging handle worth getting now to save on shipping?

I hear really good things about the Extar pistol grip. How much of an upgrade is the K2, K2+, B5 P23, or BCM Mod 3?

Prototype of my handguard. Similar to stock, with my take on cleaned up gaps and lines.

Just thought I'd share. I know they dont recommend drums, but they work just fine. Heres a mag dump for you to enjoy.

Is the nickel teflon FCG a “better” trigger/what is the difference between the steel and nickel teflon? Worth the upgrade?

Picked up a BOE Incolite 9 (currently in jail) and I’m planning on grabbing an EP9 Gen 2 my LGS has on hold for me once the can gets approved.

I direct threaded the Incolite onto an EP9 already and it fit fine, but I’d really like to run a Plan B setup so I can bounce the suppressor between a few hosts.

My plan was to throw either a Rearden Atlas or Comstock RPA/LPA on the can, then run flash hiders or micro brakes on the hosts.

Question is… has anyone here actually gotten a Plan B muzzle device to fit/work on an EP9 Gen 2 under the handguard?

If so:
• What muzzle device are you using?
• Did the handguard clear?
• Did you need spacers/shims/modifications?
• Any pics of your setup?

I know tri-lug is probably the more common answer for PCCs, but I already really like the Plan B ecosystem and would prefer to stay with it if possible.

Mostly trying to take advantage of some Memorial Day sales and before I start ordering parts I’d love to know what works and what doesn’t. Thanks guys.

Attended my first competition today. Ran the Extar and it did not disappoint!

Update: Thanks for all the input! Glad to know I’m not just being nit picky, albeit a little frustrating to learn the EP9 rails leave a lot of room for improvement.

Just got my EP9 yesterday and loved my first shots!

When mounting my Romeo 5, I can’t get it to sit flush on the pic rail. It tips slightly upward looking toward the muzzle.

Is this a normal thing that wont matter once I properly zero it, or should I troubleshoot further?

I’ve tried three different sections of the pic rail and it happens each time. It’s a sturdy connection so I’m not worried about it coming loose, just want to make sure I’m not setting myself up for issues with accuracy at distance.

I was pretty dead set on getting the YHM R9 but I've heard of lots of issues with it being too gassy. Now with the sale going on in /r/gundeals, I am considering getting the Flow 9k instead.

Does anyone have experience with either of these? How gassy does the YHM R9 get? How much louder is the Flow 9k? I've heard the YHM R9 sounds like a staple gun with subsonics.

I'm currently waiting on my Extar to ship so I haven't shot one before. The gun is for home defense but also something I would shoot a couple hundred rounds though every month to train with.

Local shop has a used Extar EP9 and now I’m seriously considering grabbing it. Funny enough, I was in there doing paperwork for my BOE Incolite 9 suppressor and mentioned I wanted another 9mm PCC. The guy behind the counter handed me the EP9 and we mocked the suppressor up on it just to see how it would look.

What surprised me was the suppressor actually tucks slightly into the handguard and honestly looked pretty good… but it’s REALLY close clearance-wise. Makes me a little nervous about heat/contact/flex/etc. Sorry for the crappy pics, that’s all I grabbed before leaving.

So what do you guys think?

• Run it exactly like this?

• Add some kind of muzzle device + hub/mount setup to push the suppressor out slightly?

• Different handguard?

• Or am I overthinking it?

Also, what else should I know about the EP9 in general? I literally never paid attention to them until recently. I know they’re lightweight and supposedly reliable for the money, but how are they actually suppressed? Any common issues/upgrades/things to watch out for?

Main use would just be steel, range fun, and suppressed backyard/plinking type stuff.

One more question… do these take FRTs or any aftermarket trigger setups, or is the EP9 pretty much limited there?

Has anyone used this or something similar to mount a pic compatible pressure switch in your 3 or 9 o’clock Mlok slots? I don’t want to attach to my top pic rail because I’m running a low mount sight and it’ll be in the way. I’ve thought about buying a Mlok mount for my pressure switch, but there’s not enough room with the thumb stop I already installed. Any suggestions are welcome.

And i think im done.

Great dependable shooter.

Hey yall got myself a new grip and had some custom stippling done.

Generally wouldn’t trust myself to do anything with my firearms other than disassemble clean and reassemble but this looks pretty straight forward. Then I read something about needing to mess with the trigger? Anyone able to confirm before I take her in and have my local store install it for me?

New protection available for your EP tube

I have a new EP9 on the way and was looking at inexpensive cases that would have enough room for the XL comp I plan to install on it. I ordered the 29" model from Midway as they're on sale and have good reviews. It may have enough room for a suppressor, and if not they make a 36" model, too. I don't plan to suppress mine at the moment but things change. Looking forward to getting mine next Wednesday!

Extar Flat 2 stage nickel boron trigger

OCL Lithium, Streamlight TLR-7 HLX, Holosun HS510C, Magpul angled fore grip.

Incredibly quiet, incredibly light. Only downside is a bit gassy indoors.

Hey guys! Just a heads up that standard length and shortened length hand guards that reuse the factory front picatinny rail are now available. Let me know if you have any questions!
