I'm waiting on a few more items for it (muzzle brake, rear sling mount, extended bolt release, trigger springs, and ambi charging handle).
It's a pistol caliber carbine and just came out last month. It has a delayed blowback operating system to help mitigate recoil. The previous generations are direct blowback.
I just got back from the range about an hour ago. Put about 300 rounds through it. A mixture of Blazer and Herters 115gr and it performed amazing. Just had a stovepipe. It's brand new so I'm sure it'll need some breaking in but I'm very impressed so far. The recoil is very minimal and mag dumping is a blast.

Looks like a lot of it is made of composite. Serious question, would you prefer it was entirely made of metal, or is this an improvement? I notice a lot of rifles have composite materials now except the barrel, etc.
Looks awesome though...

The upper receiver is metal and and lower receiver appears to be some sort of polymer. It appears to be heavy duty though. And in fine with the lower being polymer, it makes it light. My CCW is an FNS-9C and that is also a polymer pistol (the slide is obviously metal) and it's been great. I have no reservations or concerns regarding its durability/reliability.
The Extra EP9 is made from polymer and it's very highly rated by several reviewers and owners.

That should work nicely as a PDW.

That's the plan, it's not as powerful as an AR yet much more easy to use than a handgun. Not only that, but it's way cheaper to shoot than 5.56 as well. Right now .223/5.56 is about 45cpr+ but I can find 9mm for about 20cpr.

I have an AR pistol chambered in 9mm, for basically the same reasons. Plus the 9mm can be used at indoor ranges that don't allow rifle cartridges.

Luckily I don't have to deal with indoor ranges. But I'm hoping to own enough land to shoot on someday.

Just threw this old sling I had laying around on while I wait for my QD sling mount to arrive. It's actually very comfortable and works great rigged up this way. If I don't like how the QD sling mount is, I'll be using my sling this way instead.
