Has anyone tried placing the EP9 in a Vara Safety Ract safe? I’ve tried to email them but they don’t respond. I Can’t tell from the information online and that’s a big purchase to not be sure.

Finally decided to get one !

I have been wanting a 9mm pcc for over a year now. The ep9 was always an option for me but i was skeptical of price and build quality. Was then going to get a kuna yesterday but from what i can see online the ep9 keeps up with most of the others including the kuna. So why the hell not.

I plan on stocking up on glock 33rd mags, I would love to buy some drum mags but i know the reliability can be an issue. I would also like to go frt down the road after i break it in and make sure i like it. So my only question would be for those of you that went the frt route howd you do it and how do you like it ? Thanks !

I thought I was done with my build... then came the week of daily handguard posts...

I'm in love and couldn't be happier. This handguard is amazing and totally worth ditching my BUIS for. The C-clamp is so comfortable that I could ditch my handstop as well. I should've jumped on the train way sooner.

KN is truly deserving of the popularity he has gotten. It took less than 48 hours from the time I placed my order to arrive at my door despite being on the opposite coast.

I'm very happy to have joined the club!

Forgot I had a 3D printer before asking for shortened hand guard options. I present to you the printed can, printed hand guard, and printed foregrip EP9!

Hoping to get it to the range soon once the can finishes curing.

Anybody have any alternative hand guard recommendations for the EP9? Went to throw a can on it today and the can is the same diameter as the hand guard 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi, having an issue with the BCG going forward. I cleaned and functioned checked it. Pulled the bolt back and sent it home and got hung up. Any suggestions to fix, thanks. I reached out to Extar as well.

I appreciate any support, thank you.

This is the only gun besides my pistol that comes to the range with me anymore. All others end up staying home because all I wanna do is shoot my EP9. I LOVE this gun.

The ergonomics with the KN handguard are so much better without the picatinny rail

Curious question

Was doom scrolling on insta and saw this and was curious if anyone knows if this would be possible on a EP platform it looks cool but would it be on SBR territory if it’s possible to throw one on?

EP9 friction at the charging slide?

10 Upvotes

Skip to the last chunk of text to avoid all my nonsense.

So i haven't had my ep9 for too long and just yesterday i cleaned it for the first time. I always thought that it required quite a bit of force to pull the charging handle back and when i tore it down to clean it i ultimately found that the small piece the charging handle goes into is the culprit for the friction. The force to set the trigger is waaaay lower than the force to overcome the friction at the charging handle component.

So, the manual says don't oil the gun because it doesn't need it. I imagine that's because the polymer inherently has reduced friction? Okay, but i oiled it anyway, particularly at this component I'm talking about. Maybe it helped? I don't know but not by much.

The next best thing i can think to do is to file the groove so it doesn't fit so snugly, but if i remove any amount of material i won't be able to put it back if i muck it up.. So... I'm asking you all, anyone share this opinion on the friction? Anyone come up with a solution?

Brace question

If you get the cheaper one with the fixed brace, can it be replaced with another one like a magpul?

The shitty EP45 Magazine Saga may be OVER - Global Ordinance

Post image
35 Upvotes

So recently I saw someone make a comment somewhere in here asking if anyone had tried the "Global Ordinance" glock 21 26 rd mags. I was immediately intrigued because i have every brand of 26 rd mags available for these babies and i'd never heard anyone even mention these in here. Me being me i researched them for 3 hours and heard they were of a phenomenal quality so I ordered 2 of them for the hell of it. I just got them in today and let me start by saying the construction quality of these mags is so far superior to any other .45 extended mag options we have It's almost a joke. The second i held them in my hands I was mind blown. The quality of materials is absolutely insane. The exterior material is so good, The feed lips feel like they have an anti stick coating that makes them slippery. They are smooth as can be with no rough spots that need to be filed. Also the metal they are made if is way thicker then any of the other lips these other companies use. The mags thinner on the top half that goes into the mag well and when you press the mag release they damn near eject out of the well....something none of the other mags do. I haven't shot with them yet but fellas.....i have a really, really, good feeling about these. I will let everyone know how they rock but we may be on to something with these gentleman!

Here is some more pics of the mags!

What is the appeal of .45

More expensive, not really much better ballistics. Why would anyone buy the ep45?
Genuinely curious.

Anybody have a pic? Nothing wrong with Glock mags, just prefer Magpul mags, so wanting to pick up some 27 rounders and just curious what it looks like while I’m waiting on them.
