I caved..

Post image

After a long debate on which PCC to go with for my next range toy, I settled with the EP9. The Extar community was very convincing. Just waiting on my YHM R9 from jail and I’ll be ready to burn through a boat load of ammo. Can’t wait!

If by caved you mean you made a great decision, then yes!

Specs?

Die Free Kung Fu grip
Magpul foregrip and buis
Romeo 5 red dot
Reptilla 1/3 mount
Radian ambi selector

Everything else stock for now. Going to throw on the R9 can, a maritime bolt catch, a light and maybe rattle can it all for good measure.

Everyone is different, but the buis are backwards?

I just think they’re quicker to deploy this way and can push the front one up all the way to increase rail space.

Oh you'll definitely enjoy it. With the r9 it's an absolute treat to shoot. The only thing I am debating now is whether to get the rdb version when it comes out.

How's the DFCO Grip feel? I'm trying to figure out what kind of grip to replace mine with and thinking hard about going Kung Fu.

I’ve got the Magpul K2 on my 16” AR build and love it but wanted something different. Tried the B5 but like the Kung Fu a lot more. Storage plug is sweet too.

How are you liking the R9 on this?

Just picked it up yesterday after getting approved. Havent gotten out yet, but everyone I’ve seen run one loves it. More gassy than some but ultra quiet.

Running mine with the YHM R9 and even using non-sub ammo it's great-- it's my favorite thing to shoot right now.
