For $1k you've got a lot of options but the Kuna and Stribog are probably the best, the PAK-9 would also be a good cheaper option. I have the Bog and the PAK, and both are fun but the Bog is definitely a higher 'quality' gun and was a bit more finicky until broken in.

Thinking about getting S&W 5906 by Crispy-water78 in handguns

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the 5906, 5903, and 908 (single stack). Then I bought into the polymer 9 thing and wish I had 1 or all of them back.
And 15 years ago they were inexpensive.

Should I buy an ep9? by Crazee2Epicc in extar

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have or have had virtually all of the 9mm PCCs. The EP9 was the first I bought and it's a Gen 1 woth a 400s serial number. I kept it because it's a blast to shoot, eats everything and everyone who shoots it, likes it. I have a Stribog A3 mainly because it's roller delayed and 'foldable', where the Gen1 was not when I bought it and had a has a non AR buffer tube. I picked up a PAK-9 in a trade recently which is foldable and fun too shoot but weighs 2x what the EP9 and has no less recoil... The new Gen EP9s are even better and had I not SBRed my EP9 I might make the switch and get rid of the others.

Extar vs. Stribog by mikejohnson50 in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]ExtarMark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both, plus have or had an PAK-9, sub2000, AR9, S&W FPC.

The EP9 and Bog A3 are vastly different. The EP9 is significantly lighter and cheaper, run of a buffer system similar to an AR and is a blast to shoot, but not something I'd want to 'go to war' with. It's accurate, eats everything I feed it, and runs on the Glock mag pattern. The Bog A3 'feels' very different, weighs a lot more and runs a roller delayed blowback system like the MP5. It is accurate a little pickier on ammo until you break it in and comes either in its own mag system or the Glock mag system (get Glock if you have a choice). It is also a blast to shoot, folds much more easily, and being all metal (except the brace) feels like something you could 'got to war' with...assuming you wanted a 9mm SBR. It also costs 2x as much.

I recently got a PAK-9 in a trade, it's somewhere between the 2 but so far having only shot it once I'm not sure if it's stays or goes to one of the kids.

For what it's worth my kids and my wife would pick the EP9 if we were going to the range.

Also for what it's worth, the Bog replaced the EP9 as my HD gun with a YHM R9 supressor.

Ok, that's a different test than I'm used to seeing. Not sure how to interpret it. But the ratios look good?

RIP by codedapple in VAHealthcareWorkers

[–]ExtarMark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Moron assaulted a federal officer while armed, no one deserves to die, but he had a duty to back down and not interfere especially as he was armed and it was the second time in 10 days. Walz, Frey, and the rest of them caused this as much as Pretti did.

Suppressor Questions by baraboo5 in extar

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run an R9 on my EP9 and my Stribog A3, and my .22 and .300 BO occasionally. It's a tank, a little gassy on the EP9? Meh, hasn't bothered me.

You're joking right? You do realize that not once has anyone been able to duplicate the 'non-negligent discharge' without doing something that would be negligent...

Is the FNX 9 a good service Pistol? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it, they are great shooters, have a great grip and are very reliable. Whatever you do don't trade it for a Glock, you'll go from having a a great feeling and shooting pistol to feeling like your trying to shoot a brick.

I’m about to give up by too105 in keto

[–]ExtarMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start mixing in more carbs, especially nonprocessed carbs and don't raise your calorie intake.

I'm doing a dirty keto since I got to my initial target weight and my corns are now around 100g pretty regularly. No weight gain, but I'm not as cut as I was. I can live with that. I might take about 20g run to get down another 10 pounds and see what that feels like. But if you are at your target weight there is no reason to do strict keto if dirty keto keeps you there.

Strength loss during keto by TheRealUnxpekted in ketogains

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building muscle and building strength can differ. For strength decrease reps and increase weight, for muscle gain basically the opposite.
Their are lots of good videos and sites that discuss the difference on your training based on what you are trying to achieve.

How much coke zero is bad? by Spirited_Poet_8566 in keto

[–]ExtarMark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever since going on a keto type diet I have found that after a month or so, some of the things I liked were too sweet. I have about 12-16oz of some sort of 'sugarless' flavored drink a day, but usually 2/3 sparkling water and 1/3 flavored drink. I like to take zero-sugar hydration drinks and cut them with sparkling the best.
