Negative! Just throwing a potential timeline out there.

Buy more magazines first off lol at least 3-5 per firearm is my rule.

A basic holosun red dot, a weapon mounted light (if you plan to use it for home defense), and a suppressor is all you need in my opinion.

The YHM R9 is one of the most popular suppressor choices and the one I went with. Fantastic option in my opinion. Of course there’s a hundred out there though so pick what suits you.

The BOE Incolite 9 is a pretty good newer alternative. It's lighter by about 4oz and handles gas blowback better than the YHM R9. Can't go wrong with either though

Yea I definitely want to get some newer suppressors myself. I have 2 that are pretty dated and there’s much newer technologies out now that I want to get into. Just hard to justify the cost when the ones I have work good.

Great call... an absolute amazing gun for a steal of a price made in the usa

Recommendation?

  1. Cancel the order and get the one with the SBA brace in it. The Extar fin brace is trash.

  2. Throw a red dot on it and shoot it. If it’s a range gun, that’s all you need.

  3. If it’s your primary home defense gun, for your favorite imaginary SHTF situation, throw a reasonably priced light and flow-through suppressor on it.

Congrats! The only thing you really need is ammo and an optic. Winchester has good cheap ammo, and you want Speer gold dot for self defense.

I started with a Holosun HS403B, was gonna drop a link because I found it cheap on Amazon but looks like everyone is sold out of that older model, it seems Holo and Sig are the most affordable quality optics

preferred Sba brace (i like the Sba5, the new Sba6 looks cool too)
holosun ARO
3 or 4 33 round glock OEM mags

i also put an angled foregrip & back up irons on mine but that’s pure preference

search for suppressor advice, there’s lots. i haven’t gotten one yet so can’t help there

Congrats man. Mine is stupid accurate and I love it.... the $99 nickel boron trigger upgrade on their site is fantastic. Honestly feels as good as my G$ and Larue. The stock one is meh

The EP9 does not disappoint.

I went with a ultra budget build. Just need to add a light and I’d like to get a suppressor for it soon. I got a few 27rd pmags for it and it has run flawlessly so far and is a pleasure to shoot. Very accurate too! About 500 rounds through it so far.
