Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Extar EP9 SBR-Like 9mm "Pistol"

Topped with a Spark red dot sight, by Vortex. Takes Glock mags. Breaks open, AR-15-style, for field stripping. Comes with a compensator muzzle device installed.

Not legally an SBR, but functions like one, thus "SBR-Like" in the title. Legally classified as a pistol, but the wrist brace may legally be applied against the shoulder, says the ATF. No tax stamp required.

So far 300 rounds through it without a hitch. Simple, heavy bolt, blow back type action, so no surprise. Unloaded, as you see it, with mag, sight, brace, installed, it's a hair under 5 lbs. Trigger pull is a bit heavy at just under six pounds, but I can't feel any creep after the take up. Breaks crisp. Groups, with Winchester White Box 115 grain FMJ, even with much focus, are not impressive at about four inches at 50 yards (about minute of man), but with the Spark red dot it was easy getting the groups centered in the black. I'd say it's well worth the $419.00 they ask for them. More than accurate enough for city, or room to room, fighting. Open country would be problematic, but you could give someone a very hard time at 125 yards, or even a little beyond.



And with a TLR-1S tactical light attached:

If you carry a Glock 9mm, this might make for a nice trunk gun companion for it, taking the same mags.

Nice!

Thanks. Kind of fun. Could also be handy.

There are a lot of options out there in this category, but most of them are well over a grand. This one is proving pretty reliable.

Good write up TRH. That's an interesting little bugger.
Are the controls AR like?

Interesting.... Interested in test results with high quality ammo. Does it take drop in after market AR 15 triggers?

Yes. Other than the charging handle position.

Yes, but you need to also purchase an AR thumb safety to go with it. The thumb safety on it is synthetic, and isn't compatible with standard AR triggers.

This is his first review. I believe that by his second review, he had fired 7000 rounds through it without a hitch.

Drop in one of those Rise Armament cartridge triggers for $89 or $105 and it'd take care of any heavy trigger concerns.

Not CT legal

Sucks to be you, LOL.
