Added an optic (basic SIG Romeo), quick laser zero, and swapped out the grip for a DFCO Kung Fu Grip. Still haven’t shot it. Soon though. lol at EXTAR dropping this EP45 at prob the busiest time of my life.

Gotta find time now to get to the range!

Any updates on a firmer timeline for the modern delayed rollback release?

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.

Sba5 brace

Holosun aro Mrs gold dot

Hilliker holster co 33 round mag

Surefire mini scout light

Arisaka finger stop

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

Finally decided to jump on the KN Designs bandwagon after seeing all the recommendations here and happy I did. Just installed the Extended Length Handguard w/ Picatinny Delete. Great customer service, fast shipping, and installation was a breeze.

Full build:

• Sig Romeo5
• Magpul MOE-K2+ Grip
• FireTailCo Cyclops charging handle
• Magpul M-LOK AFG
• KN Designs Extended Length w/ Picatinny Delete
• YHM R9 Suppressor

I just realized my optic and light cost double what the Extar did. Smart, or not so much?

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?

Can’t wait

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?

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

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!

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.

These things are unreal. They just run and refuse to quit. Eat through anything. Can’t believe this ‘cheap’ build is the most fun thing out the safe hands down.

I found a barely used EP9 at my LGS for $395 with a SB brace, Romeo 5 and AFG and 4 mags. Must resist, must resist… can’t resist! I own it. My 2nd EP9, my 3rd Extar (EP45). These are such a fun gun and what an incredible value. They apparently did not know what they had. It’s ironic that the gun that I walked out with cost less than half than the sales tax on the gun I went in to buy. Crazy.

All it’s missing is a rattle can job.

Finally got the yhm r9 out of ATF jail and on to the ep9. Crazy fun to shoot, ended up going through an extra 200 rounds at the range because it was so enjoyable. Definitely my new favorite gun, and for about $1000 for the gun + suppressor, the value is really hard to beat.

Using the SBA3 brace wrapped around the arm is basically a meme. Everyone shoulders the weapon. So why spend the extra $100?

Just playing devils advocate to see what you people think before I buy.

This thing is both useful and fun!

Mine can now officially be an SBR when I want it to be. Here it is with a sopmod stock. My wait was 52 days.

Trying to decide between an EP9 with the SB Tactical Brace and a Ruger PC Charger with an SB Brace. The Ruger warranty is the bomb and I saw that the EP9's only have a 1 year warranty. Any thoughts??

Do super safeties or binaries or whatever the hell this thing is ( 😂 im a noob with these options) require the same type of modification in the 45 as they do in the 9mm? I dont really want to hack my gun up but I heard the EP 45 has a standard ar trigger and the BFSIII just drops right in? In all honesty modifying firearms is WAY outside my scope of expertise so I truly have no clue what I'm talking about and I would have it professionallyinstalled. Just looking to understand the process a bit more. If someone could comment and give me some hints or even better shoot me a dm and send me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! Super Safeties and binaries fire nowhere near as fast as FRT's and being this is a poly gun i figure the slower the better when using a rapid fire option. Thanks in advance gentleman!

PS - I'm well aware of the risks and I'm also aware its not recommended.
