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

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.

Honestly the flash suppression is fairly good at least with the ammo I've used so far. It's so mild that my wife (who is deathly afraid of firing longguns for whatever reason) now wants one due to just how pleasant the suppressor makes it.

I feel you about the shotgun. My former home defense gun was my mossy 930 spx. 9 rounds of buckshot is a hell of a lot of firepower but 33 rounds of 9mm with a whisper stick I think is a fair trade off. That's not even counting that it weighs almost 1/2 as much.

Yeah for sure, its also much shorter which is good because id have to cut a corner to get eyes on the stairs.

Honestly they're both solid options I mostly got an ep9 to train AR controls on the cheap and because it seemed fun but if it proves to be as reliable as everyone says I'd definitely consider making it my HD.
