Oh, cleaning was performed about every 1000 rounds, whether or not it was needed.

Dwarfs my 2600 or so rounds but I’ve had the same experience. I’ve been debating on trying steel but hearing your success I’ll try it. About 250 HST through it with 0 failures, it has now become my bedside weapon due to the fact my wife has no problems using it if necessary but is hesitant to grab the AR. Really only thing I wish is I could put either a folder or different brace on it, like everyone else. Guess if I’m nitpicking I wish it had a heat shield too...

How did you do the folder conversion?

Guess I don't see any problem with the brace, but then I've never used another one. Personally, I wouldn't spend 25% or more of the guns price for a different brace. The handguard on the other hand....

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sure, I can have anything I want to pay for. However your upper is almost the same price as the whole Extar. From a value proposition I’m quite happy with what I have. I have several higher dollar weapons but honestly enjoy shooting the Extar more. For $400 it’s really a great deal and my wife enjoying it is even better. (Except I burn twice the ammo lol) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you are asking me, its the Dead Foot Arms side folding mechanism. I don’t have an EP9, but my understanding is it does not take AR15 buffer tubes without an adapter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In conjunction with the Farrow Tech adapter/converter? I don’t have an EP9, but my understanding is it does not take AR15 buffer tubes without an adapter. complete kit with modified bolt, springs, and side folder mechanism or you can order just the modified bolt assembly with no provision for a brace etc. or if you already have the bolt system you can order the hinge separately. While spendy, IMHO it is the best system for side folding on the market. That being said I will clarify..... I do not generally ascribe to the school of "the best" of anything. Rather my comment to that effect applies only to me in that the DFA system WORKS BEST FOR ME, as I am using it. Must be consistent you know, lest someone come along to argue  @chewbacca ETA not familiar with the device you mentioned. |

I thought the receiver doesn’t accept AR buffer tube.... I guess I’m wrong

The Extar doesn't. Thread has gone a bit sideways. Is this real life? ——- Back on target. That’s great the gun has made it 10k rounds. I want one, but would like to figure out a stock conversion. Thanks for posting. |

I'm waiting on a stamp for a 9mm suppressor.
Thinking about selling my ruger PC carbine and getting one of these. The ruger is fine but add the suppressor and it is LONG. |

Owning and shooting the Extar prompted my first suppressor purchase. I may even get to use it one of these years. I submitted before the guys who got the quick approval.

OP, is the charging handle recriprocating? I didn't see it mentioned on their site, so I'm assuming it is recriprocating. Do you have the folding charging handle or the standard?
Also, do you know if the pistol grip can be replaced with AR15 style PG? Their website sucks for info. |

NVM I found the answer about the charging handle and pistol grip.

For those of you shooting the EP9 suppressed, what ammo do you recommend? My stamp finally arrived a few days ago, and I am looking for recommendations for both a suppressed range round and suppressed defense round.

I don't know that it's better or worse than anything else, but I'm using Blazer 147g aluminum case. CGS Kraken suppressor.
Now have about 14,000 rounds through the Extar. Still going strong. |

I've always thought the Extar was kinda loud suppressed. I rarely shoot it without light ear pro. Yesterday someone else was shooting it . From 5 or 6 feet away I was thinking it really is quiet.
15,319 rounds so far, last 3215 suppressed. Still like this gun. |

Hey. Sorry if this sounds naive. I'm brand new here, and doing my research on the EP9 because it hits all my bullet points for buying one. But the whole suppressor thing really blows my mind. I mean, I've been shooting for about 3 years now, and never suppressed. I looked into it since I started considering the EP9, since I'd be using it for home defense mainly. But suppressors are seriously expensive to use on a $400 setup, aren't they? I mean, how do you justify the expense? I guess if you have other firearms that can take the same can, I get that. But if I do get one, it'd be just for this specific weapon.

I justify the suppressor by wanting it. Suppressor cost $600 including the $200 stamp, so yeah, it cost more than the Extar. But, the can now has me justifying a more expensive gun one day soon. |

If you don't mind me asking, what can/mount are you using on your EP9? I just got my EP9 the other day and have an MGK 7 on the way, not sure how best to put it on though.

I've also noticed no progress on the 10mm or .45. The EP9 is indeed a fun gun. |
