Extar ep9 16” carbine

I know they haven’t been out too long, but I was curious if anyone has gotten an Extar ep9 16” carbine? I’ve heard good things about the ep9, and they’re very affordable. I don’t have any first hand experience with this brand and was wanting to see if there were any horror stories out there!

I have one of the EP9 pistols and have been very happy with it.  No major issues at all. The mags in mine tend to go in a tiny bit too much and feed lips will block the bolt. However, if you get in the habit of inserting the mag and then giving it a slight downward tug, it works just fine. Probably just my gun. 

You should also add a forward grip of some type. After a couple of mag dumps the handguard tends to get a bit warm. 

Accuracy and reliability have been excellent. Overall, I think its a great bargain for the price.
