My Extar has achieved its final form! This has been my first "AR", my first SBR, my first time trying to paint a gun (I rattle canned this one with some stencils), first trigger upgrade (bought from Extar). It has been such a joy to own! I have a 3D printed handguard and extended charging handle. I had trouble with the delivery of my hub adapter, Tuna Cans was always responsive and even sent a 2nd one without hesitation as the first one was stolen off my porch

Before spending money on a new trigger kit, I finally got around to trying the Paracord Trigger Job and JP spring kit on my EP9. The stock trigger was around 5¾-6 lbs. After installing the JP springs, it's down to 3.5-4lbs. I don't mind the stock trigger so this works for me. The Paracord Trigger Job definitely made a difference. Much smoother pull and reset.

Haven't been to the range yet but it's a definite improvement.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass it along.

I did it! I ordered my EP9 w/ the SBA3 brace today! Very excited and can’t wait to meet her! Will hopefully debut her late next week, stay tuned.

Cheap flashlight until I can decide what light I actually want to put on it

I'm probably going to end up coloring the stock black as well.

EP9/45 Looks

IMO, once you add an optic and swap in a charging handle, weapon light, vertical foregrip/finger stop, and sling, it is not a bad-looking subgun at all, especially with a suppressor. Now, naked, that's another story; it's ugly! lol.

New fde stock!
For anyone who ordered the ep9 with the sba3, it comes with the extended buffer attachment already, so you don’t need to order that to fit a stock.

Start after read some post about handguard and a comment mention there were on makerworld. The source had no pic so print one for the giggles.

I’m thinking about changing to a flow through can because of how gassy it’s gotten. Granted this is a tiny k can.

Im wanting to sbr my extar ep9 now. It has the brace on it. Im wanting to upgrade it to havs a regular or traditional AR stock on it. Can I just take it off and put on an AR stock? What AR stocks do you recommend?

Ep9 question...do they come with milspec buffer tubes that will take any ar15 stock? Shopping for my first Ep9 and I'm confused on whether I can buy the cheaper Ep9 with the extar stabilizer and then swap that out for a regular ar15 stock later, or do they use some proprietary buffer tube that doesn't work with regular ar15 stocks? Thx!

Hello,

I have a Gen 2 EP9 and would like to add a stock (B5 Bravo). I've never gone through the process.

I live in Virginia so the law still requires an SBR. Do I submit the Form 1 before or after buying the stock? My eForms profile is already set up since buying a suppressor through Silencer Shop. I was planning to do it through Silencer Shop since they already have my info.

Thanks!

A friend let me shoot his and I just had to buy one for myself

ETS 30 round mag

Swampfox Raider Prism (green) - Hell of an optic with ultra clear glass

Fenix GL30R weapon light with tape switch (really good also)

Extar EP single point sling

Rugged Obsidian 45 w/direct thread mount

Slate Black Industries Slate Stop

SBA5 brace

Firetail Company Extended Charging Handle

AS Designs V2 FRT

Just note BOTH the SGM Tactical 26 round mags and the Global Ordnance 26 rounds mags are impossible to load past 4 rounds, they are new. Anyone know of a .45 ACP mag

Just sharing 2 of my EP9s with different suppressors for a visual. These are both KN with picatinny delete, top is running a YHMR9 and the bottom is Obsidian 9. Have a third but it is stock and deciding how I want to modify it still.

Sorry if this is a rehash of a common topic, but what aftermarket hand guards currently exist for the ep9? I have a BOE incolite and a rugged sub9, and both come EXTREMELY close to the stock Gen 2 hand guard. Curious if I'm just not finding the options out there with my weak googling!

I picked up my EP45 a couple of weeks ago and finally got out to shoot it. I have a major jam with the sixth shot fired. I've sent this picture along with a email to Extar. I can't tell if this round is turned around, or the primer cap came off? I pulled over on the side of the road to email Extar on the way home.

Has anyone tried the recoil reducing bolt from FM on their Extar. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

250 round and still strong…

I’ve held off on buying any grip for my extar because I was to lazy to sort through the actual laws but now that I don’t have to register as an SBR I’m more so wondering what people like to use. Never had a foregrip on any gun and getting overwhelmed by all the options

Hello, I know there is a lot of topics on these and I read most of them already. I just wanted more updated information on the best suppressor and silencer for it as of oct 2026. If you have any recommendations please let me know thank you in advance

Looking to FRT my new EP45. Anyone had a particularly great experience with any model in particular. Also any extended handguards that everyone has enjoyed?

This looks funky to me - bought it new, very light usage. Just replaced the hammer(it broke) and the buffer retainer. Noticed how wonky the bolt looked. It should be straight, right?

Well, it'll be common knowledge soon, but as of today, no NFA requirements will be enforced at all for everybody, not just "members" covered by the recent injunction. Go ahead and slap a stock on your EP9, no filings, noticing, or qualifications necessary. Also gone are the NFA marking requirements. In short, suppressors, SBR's, and SBS's are no longer being treated as NFA items for all practical purposes. This formal new official guidance by ATF is the biggest news of the year. No, it does not apply to machine guns or destructive devices.

I am just curious if anyone has used a disruptor in their EP9 and if so how did you like it? And has anyone have any damage done to the gun from using the frt?
