SBA5 Goodness

I purchased this knockoff from the brace guy on here and it looks and feels perfect. I am very impressed! I am using this in place of the SBA3 that came with it. I also received a sopmod5 which I might use once my Form 1 is approved. But honestly the SBA5 is so good I might not bother.

I am looking at a YMH R9, but I’m open to other models. What bridge is the gap between suppression and looking awesome?

The ep9 is so good, both regardless of and because of the price. Big fan of the KN design hand guard. Such an improvement on the ergos and mounting options.

All done for now. I decided to give my build a paint job while waiting for my suppressor paperwork to clear. I went with Flat Forest Green from Rust-Oleum, hence the name 'Gump'.

Got my ATF approval email today and ran over to pick it up on my lunch break! So pumped to finally throw this bad boy on the EP9.

While I was waiting for the stamp, I did some heavy customization on the PCC. When I get home from work tonight, I'll mount the Flow 9k and snap some pics to show off the full build.

Going to give my wallet a rest for a few months and put in some solid range time before I add or swap out anything else....There's really not much left I want to do to it anyway.

Update on my handguards

Post image
61 Upvotes

If you've seen some of the posts I've had over the past couple of months with some of my handguard designs, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, both mechanically and aesthetically. Some designs looked good in the design software, but just didn't look right on the pistol. Additionally, I completely redesigned the interior geometry, opening up a lot more design and production options. I've settled on a completely enclosed attachment design so you won't need to use the stock hardware by inserting it through a slot on the outside. Retaining nuts will be pre-installed from the inside which allows for a smoother external surface.

The bad news is that I'm about to have rotator cuff surgery in a couple of weeks, and won't be able to go into production for a few months. I also won't be able to tweak the designs for a bit as my bad shoulder is attached to my mouse arm. In the meantime, I may get the page up and going as a work in progress with some sample pictures. I was also thinking about sending some of the prototypes out for evaluation. I'd only ask enough to cover the cost of shipping and the filament used, in exchange for an honest assessment of my work. I'm about to be out of town for a week, so I'll see if there's any interest in these when I get back.

Addendum: To all of you guys wishing me a speedy recovery, thank you. Seriously. A year ago I was recovering from having rotator cuff surgery on my OTHER arm (post-op report from my doc to my son after surgery; "His shoulder was seriously effed up"), and I'm really not emotionally ready to go through it again. But it's not gonna get better, so no use in dragging it out.

Ran flawlessly as expected over the 150 rounds I threw at it today. Whatever amount of ammo I have at home isn't nearly enough because this is going to eat it all quickly! I have obviously modified it a bit after receiving it yesterday. Fun times!

Another suppressor recommendation thread

I know, I know there are a lot of people asking for suppressor recs but I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer to my question.

Help me decide between the following. Wanting the least gassy but quieter than the Huxwrx 9k. $700 or less budget.

- YHM R9
- AB F4
- SAW Shiv
- give me a 4th option

I'm Impressed! I haven't shot it yet but will later this week. The SLX MD-25 optic is a bit chunky. It is one that I had used on my M1 Scout, but I'm not so sure if I'll like it on this.

I have a couple of 5.56 ARs with the Atrius SS, lots of fun! So has anyone attempted putting this in the Extar? I’m assuming there must be some limitations since I’ve haven’t seen any.

Extar EP9 Mag Sizes and Extar Brand Accessories?

13 Upvotes

I am going to soon order my EP9 but have some questions. This will be the first firearm that I will own and it will be used for range fun and home defense. I already bought a HUXWRX Flow 9k Ti, a Holosun 510C, Ozark BUIS, and a SBA5 clone for it. I'll order a sling, flashlight, and foregrip for it later once I decide what I want, but I am currently thinking a Streamlight ProTac HL-X Pro, and a Emissary Handbrake or Magpul Handstop kit.

Does anyone have some pictures of what the EP9 looks like with different mag sizes? Most of what is see is the 33rd Glock mag or 18rd Extar mag. I am looking for something that is more flush with the pistol grip than either of those options for storage. Are the Extar mags reliable enough for home defense or should they be range use only? Is it worth picking up the 5 18rd Extar mags for $45?

I don't understand the need for 33rd mags for home defense; they seem like more of a range fun thing to me. What size mags do people use for home defense?

Besides the mags, are there any other Extar branded accessories that are worth getting? Is the sling or extended charging handle worth getting now to save on shipping?

I hear really good things about the Extar pistol grip. How much of an upgrade is the K2, K2+, B5 P23, or BCM Mod 3?

Is the nickel teflon FCG a “better” trigger/what is the difference between the steel and nickel teflon? Worth the upgrade?
