9mm Home Defense Wall Penetration Test
If you find yourself researching "9mm for home defense," "pistol caliber carbines for home defense," or similar subjects long enough, you're bound to come across some less than substantiated claims, eventually. Hell, I watched a video the other day claiming a certain Ruger handgun was 30 pounds. I'm sure ounces was the intended measurement, but it was published like that. A harmless mistake for those who know a Barrett M82 .50 Cal weights almost 30 pounds, but when these kind of mistakes make it into videos about self defense, you may argue the result can have far graver ramifications. I'm not going to list said articles, but rather steer you towards great content that does a better job. One of those "better job" people is @Paul Harrell , who has run several tests like this, and I really can't recommend his content enough.
So lets dive in. And yes, I got bit by a brown recluse. Not all BR reactions result in extreme necrosis, or the aggressive decay of tissue near the bite. I experienced blistering, and pulsing pain that lasted several days. I still don't recommend the experience.

Extar EP9 Gen 2 Review
Extar recently updated the EP9 with a slew of improvements. Can these upgrades create an experience greater than the sum of its parts, or is this a passable upgrade for existing EP9 Gen 1 owners?

Arex Delta Grip Change Tutorial/How To
The Arex Delta line of handguns are among the best you can get for the money. Arex has been releasing new grips, including a dark green and tiffany blue recently, and this process will show you how to change them out on your existing model. This process applies to all Delta Gen 2 handguns, whether you have an L, M, or X frame. This will also apply to the Tactical model as well. You CAN mix and match frames, but unless you have a special purpose, like changing from an X to and M (same barrel length) or vice versa, we recommend sticking to the same size.
L - Long Slide, Long Grip
M - Short Slide, Short Grip
X - Short Slide, Long Grip
*Always check beforehand that the firearm is unloaded. Most accidents occur when a firearm is not properly cleared, so we recommend doing a visual and physical inspection. An extra step of safety is to not have any ammo nearby, especially not a loaded mag. If you have to step away during the process always recheck the status of the firearm when you return in case any rounds grew legs and reloaded themselves.
This process will not alter how the firearm functions or shoots. This is for aesthetics and ergonomics only. The serialized portion of the firearm is on the fire control group, and changing the grip does not make it a "new" firearm. Grips will ship without FFL and you do not need a background check to obtain one.

Thanks and credit @Honest Outlaw for the putting this gun on our radar. If you're looking for more info, he has several videos extensively covering the EP9.
--------
The Extar features polymer construction, the metal parts consisting of the bold carrier group, barrel, and a handful of other parts. Though this may scare some traditionalists, the gun feels far from cheap and the afforded weight savings are huge.
Not only is it affordable and light, but reliable. Not once have we had to contact Extar for issues with the EP9. It has been a very easy and care-free gun to own, and we did purchase it with our own money back when it was retailing for $419.
Global Ordnance was generous to provide ammo near the end of our review process.

Though we did have some issues out of the box due to a pre-production parts mix up, we were put back on track by BCA and shooting in no time. The new upper has an overall better fit and finish, and incorporates several upgrades for ergonomics, ease of use, and most importantly, reliability.

.50 Beowulf is a Trademarked Term and will not appear on Bear Creek Arsenals website (along with many others) as such. 12.7x42 are the dimensions of the cartridge and will yield better search results.
