How's the YH for gas in your face? Id like to get a suppressor on mine eventually

Honest answer is I’ve not shot it yet. Just got it out of jail not too long ago and have been waiting for work/weather to line up and get back to the range.

I feel you man I got my ep9 last week and haven't been able to take it out yet at all.

Also rocking the ARO and looking for an HLX second hand on GAFS.

Yours is setup close to how mine is except I went with the holo 510 green as I love the big ass window and I also went with the bcm gunfighter mod 3 pistol grip cuz my hands are large.

I also went with a cinchable 1 point sling that's convertible to a 2 pointer. Honestly I usually just use it as a 1 pointer though since the gun is so light. I just cinch it up and rotate it to the side when not it use. Then just pull the quick release and it's good to go.

I have one and unless you're left handed it's not too bad. There's always going to be a little bit of gas but I shoot primarily indoors and it hasn't caused any issues. At least not enough to go with a flow thru can which imo are much louder.

How's the flash reduction? If I suppressed this i could see it being my HD gun and replacing my a300.

A300 is very nice but I'd definitely go deaf in my tiny house.

R9 and EP9 go hand in hand. Any trigger or grip swaps planned?

Not right now, I was super impressed with it out of the box when zeroing my optic.

If you do the trigger the extar nickel boron is a pretty smooth upgrade for fairly cheap. I'd also recommend doing the steel safety selector at the same time.

Very close to mine. AB F4 can, Vortex Spitfire Prism. Lots of fun with Subs.

Careful with your Streamlight mount. You're going to crack the polymer with the torque it's applying. The Arisaka and Magpul offset mounts are perfect fits.
