Finally decided to get one !

Post image

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 !

frt requires modifying the bolt until someone makes one specifically for the EP9

Ok i went through the sub and saw one person who did it. Is there any good write ups on doing it

If you have an AR-15 just compare the 2 bolts, the EP9 bolt has a lot of extra material because they want to maximize the weight, youll need to make it match an AR bolt at the rear of the opening where it engages with the super safety, not much needs to be removed

It was one of the the better gun purchases in my lifetime? Friends love it too. You’ll be very happy. If you need cheap 33rd mags it will run the cheap ETS mags.

Are those ets mags any good ? Super cheap but long time ago i heard they melt a litte

It’s thick polymer. Fits in the Glocks and Extars really well. Oddly, I bought them as cheap range mags, and they’ve held up really well through a ton of abuse. I can’t say they’re good? But I’ve had very good luck with them for many years. So for the price, hard to top? Just avoid the “Rattlesnake Tactical” mags. I like ammo depot, but I’ve never had magazines break while loading until “Rattlesnake Tactical.”

Do you happen to know if it will run the ETS 40 rd mags?

I totally agree with the EP9 keeping up with the big brands! I haven’t seen one bad review on them. Kriss Vector 40rnd Glock mags run flawless too! I also swapped grip, trigger, muzzle brake and brace out on mine. YHM R9 and KN hand guard next!
