The Extar EP9 Carbine brings the proven EP9 pistol into a rifle platform sporting a 16-inch BLACKNITRIDE+ barrel, an all-new handguard, and top rail. The EP9 Carbine is a 9mm rifle at its best, having a lightweight of nearly five pounds, we wanted to ensure that it is a soft shooter. To make that happen, we added a separate weight to the top of the bolt. This MASS-DELAYED BLOWBACK system reduces bolt velocity for a soft shooting experience without any impact on reliability. In addition to this system, you have Extar’s proven Recoil Damper to eliminate recoil impulse and our brand-new Dynamic Mass Bolt which has a spring-loaded weight to cancel any possible bolt bounce. The Extar EP9 Carbine features standard AR-15 grip, stock, safety, and trigger compatibility; opening up countless options for customization and personalization.

The Extar EP9 Carbine is made of high-tech, high-quality, engineering-grade polymer and weighs only 5 pounds, we're certain this will be the all-around most comfortable, most dependable, most accurate gun you will ever own. It's compatible with Glock 9mm magazines, is easy to use and maintain, and outperforms rifles costing twice as much.

Interesting. I have never seen Or heard of extar.

Interesting. I have never seen Or heard of extar.

Nor have I until a few days ago.
I started researching them and they are well liked. Seem to be reliable Carbines.

 

[Scott58]

I looked at these last year and ended up going with Freedom ordinance. Not sure what would have been better. They both seem to work.

 

[rugertoter]

Glad it works good, because it surely wouldn't make it in the looks department.

Had an EP9 pistol and it never malfunctioned after putting 1000 rounds through it. It was light weight, reliable and very accurate. The forearm was a little funky and the upper and lower receivers were polymer. Sold it because I already had two other pistol caliber carbines. Now I'm down to one carbine, so an EP9 carbine may be in my future.

I've always been a bit curious of those EP9s. Friend has one and likes it. Seems to be very good for the money.

Only negative i have heard is that they might be ammo picky, specifically aluminum case.

I fired pistol version and it was very soft shooting and accurate. I ended up going Foxtrot Mike.

I want one in 45 for a cheap gun that’s great for supression.

I have followed along with EP9 for a long while and heard lots of positive reviews, I'm personally more interested in the EP45 as well. They had some issues with the Gen1 but IIRC it was mostly people using (polymer) adapters to put standard (al) buffer tubes on them and the adapters splitting. I believe they now have a manufacturer option for a standard multiposition buffer tube (polymer, proprietary).

I want one in 10mm.
Just had to be said.

Reminds me of a 9mm version of the old Professional Ordnance Carbon 15. Should make it a really soft shooting lightweight!

Finally FINALLY someone got the idea that we need a 5 pound 9mm carbine and not a 7 pound one.

There you go. I don't need a 9mm carbine pistol that weighs as much as an m1, or one that costs as much, either.

Well depends on which m1, the m1 carbine is about 5 pounds.

LOL. OK. Garand.

The S&W FPC is right at 5 lbs and the Keltec Sub 2K is under 5 lbs.

 

[Kclark1998]

I was torn between this and the FPC and settled on the latter. Though the 45 version may be in my future
