At just 4.09 lb, the EP9 is among the lightest factory PDWs available. Its monolithic polymer receiver trims weight without sacrificing strength, while standard AR-pattern controls keep handling instinctive for anyone familiar with the platform.
The 6.5-inch steel barrel is BLACKNITRIDE+ treated for corrosion resistance and features 1/2-28 threads, ready for popular 9 mm muzzle devices. A polymer M-LOK handguard and full-length Picatinny top rail provide ample space for accessories.
Extar’s patented last-round bolt hold-open improves reload speed with Glock-pattern magazines—an uncommon feature on blowback 9 mm AR-style pistols. The non-reciprocating rear charging handle stays clear during firing, and the single-stage trigger offers a crisp, consistent pull.
Made in the USA and introduced in 2017, the EP9 has earned a reputation for reliable performance at an accessible price point (MSRP $449). With four magazines included, this example arrives range-ready.
