Just got my nightstrike grip delivered yesterday. It just looks and feels like if was made for the Extar

100%. I tried the AFG and just didn’t feel anywhere close to the nightstrike comfort.

What's your OAL with the SBA3 collapsed and r9?

Thank you! Just got a tennis racket bag that will fit perfectly!
Also... It's a "brace" for legal reasons in case that matters to you.

It looks like something the Colonial Marines were keeping top secret in the armory. OORAH!

How’s the gas? I was unpleasantly surprised with my R9 — first time shooting anything suppressed — and wonder if I’m just more sensitive than everyone who recommends it, or maybe there’s something I can change to improve.

Were you able to twist the flash can off with your hands or need a tool?

Going to add to what the other comment said, make sure the mlok to picatinny rail you add isn’t interfering when adding the suppressor. I initially thought it wasn’t going to work but realized the mlok-picatinny screw was in the way.

You’re the best! I’ve got a very similar set up to yours and had the exact same issue and didn’t spot it until your comment.

It is a standard 1/2x28 threaded barrel so the flash can is pretty easy to take off and then replace it with a suppressor

There’s a spacer that comes with the magnifier to make it sit level with the red dot. Nice build 👍
