 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in at the range now, and we've got the x-star EP9 a lot of people were asking about this for years people said hey Are you going to review an x-star? I'm at the range now, and these are more of my first shots with this Now this is not my pistol this belongs to my friend Evan, and he allowed me to review it It's currently selling for 449, so it's a bargain. It does have a polymer frame primarily a polymer gun with an SB brace and then the sites the flip-up sites were added extra a big bonus with this is AR light controls and Glock mags people love Glock mags, and that's what this offers side charger rail throughout Angle for grip was added extra And I said air like controls here. We have the bolt release and The safety as well as the magazine release. I've got a couple more here Let's go ahead and take a few more shots Let's take a closer look at this x-star EP9 short lightweight 9 millimeter sub gun that many people love It is budget priced at 449 now it was 419 but it was raised to $30 come standard with this SB brace It's called an SOB brace works just fine the owner changed out this grip for a magpole grip Okay, you can do that because it does have AR light controls. Here's the thumb safety the bolt release You'll see on the other side the mag releases the in the same place as AR's Glock mags. It does come with this P mag Hold 17 rounds and of course, it'll accept the 33 round Glock mags as well It does not come with this angle for grip But it does come with a rail that allows you to put an angled for grip right here That is a good touch especially with that hand stop being such a short firearm And you'll have to add some optics Okay, regular flip-up sights here, but a nice red dot the co-witness would suit this Perfectly does come with a flash hider One half by 28 threads and that's nice if you want to shoot this suppressed But it is lightweight. You can see it does have a side charger there. All right And you hold that Bolt does lock back with the last shot and then of course the bolt release right there Very familiar with AR 15th and if we look on the other side here We'll see that the mag release is right there and once again big-time advantage with Glock Magazines does come with this handguard pretty standard rail on top. There's a closer look at the flash hider And then the SB brace also a quick detach Sling mount could go there single-point sling would work perfectly with this setup now I mentioned it is a polymer frame and I think that's what is keeping the price down on this Is it the best way to go? No, but it's the most affordable way to go I had a a polymer lower on an AR once it worked just fine and I Honestly don't have a problem with it But the magazine release is right there as I mentioned and then the trigger The nice trigger. Let me go ahead. You know nothing special Just your standard trigger, you know that that functions and it just works So what you're getting here is a nine millimeter sub gun that just works it runs it It's less expensive. You know, I would not put it to the Degree or the higher degree I should say with my Ruger PC charger You know that happens to offer more but for a budget nine millimeter sub gun with a six and a half inch barrel I don't even know that I mentioned that yet six and a half inch barrel And the brace included you throw an optic on there get some Glock mags either keep the grip or Change it out. You know it offers that Flexibility in here you have the X-DAR EP9 and you know so far I've run steel case through it I've run brass through it and it performed very well even when I backed up the 40 yards I was able to hit the target took a little bit of Sighting in to see where exactly it's hitting on that front post But overall it's real fine, and it's a nice hit nice. I was gonna say handgun It's a nice nine millimeter pistol for a budget price for 49. I think that is really good This assembling the EP9 is real easy. Don't have that pin right there. Just push it through pull it out the other way Break it open, and it just comes apart just like that Couldn't be easier and then the bolt just take that side charger push it up pull the bolt out Clean it up real simple process And then to put it back together This will just fit into place Let's see if I can do this While holding it together There it is then push that pin through it's kind of a tight puzzle putting it back together But overall the process is pretty simple and once you get it once you'll have it probably forever So there it is the X-Star EP9 cool little nine millimeter sub gun for a budget price If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
