PATENTED DYNAMIC FEED CONTROL
A long-known struggle for many firearms chambered in .45 ACP has been with hollow points. The issue comes from a shorter overall loaded length and lack of a rounded nose to help in feeding.
Extar’s Patented Dynamic Feed Control System tackles this issue with a unique system that can run most hollow-point and unconventional projectile designs; turning the EP45 from a range gun into the perfect home or vehicle defense tool but taking advantage of the 45’s naturally efficient energy transfer.

The integral sling point and innovative EP Pistol Protective Cover on the buffer tube combine to make the EP45 extremely easy to use for fast target acquisition and rapid firing.
FAQ
Where Can I Buy the EP45?
Extar firearms are exclusively sold directly-to-consumer in order to cutout middleman markups and offer the best price possible. Purchases can be made on our website extarusa.com or over the phone at (928)583-9265. At Checkout, you will select a Federally licensed firearms dealer for your order to ship to.
How Do I Order a Firearm Online?
Ordering firearms online is a fairly simple process, given how regulated these items are. On our site, you will automatically be prompted to choose a licensed firearm dealer at checkout for your order to be shipped to. Some dealers may appear as "preferred" and are labeled with a gold star. With these dealers, you simply select them at checkout, and your order will be shipped to them for you to pick up and complete a background check for transfer to you. For all other dealers on our map, it is up to you to call them first to check that they will do a transfer for you, then you will need to have them send a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License (FFL) to us. We will help you with this process and send instructions after your order.
What Barrel Lengths are Available?
At launch, we only have the EP45 with a 6.5" barrel available.
Is the EP45 Barrel Threaded?
Yes! The Extar EP45 has a threaded barrel with a thread pitch of 5/8-24".
Can the EP45 Reliably Fire Hollow-Point Ammunition?
Yes. Our biggest accomplishment with the EP45 in our eyes is our Patent-Pending Dynamic Feed system. The EP45 was designed with the use of hollow-point ammunition in mind.
Can I Use a Brace With the EP45?
Yes, the EP45 is compatible with Extar Stabilizer or SB Tactical AR-15 Push-On Braces like the SOB or SB Mini. With out adjustable receiver extension installed, the SB Tactical SBA3 and SBA4 are compatible.
Is the EP45 an SBR?
No, the EP45 as shipped is a pistol because it does not have a stock or shouldering device. If one wishes to make their EP45 an SBR, we do offer a stock adapter for SBR conversions.
What Magazines Can Be Used With the EP45?
The EP45 is designed to accept Glock G21, G41, or G30 magazines. For best function, we recommend using Glock brand magazines or the ETS 30-round G21 magazine (which we sell here). Other brands of .45 ACP Glock-fit magazines may function, but are not at a reliability and consistency of quality that we feel comfortable recommending.
What Parts on the EP45 Can Be Substituted with Aftermarket Components?
The EP45 accepts any 5/8-24" threaded muzzle accessories, some SB Tactical Stabilizing Braces, AR pistol grips, and some AR fire control groups (functionality not guaranteed). We do not recommend any substitution of factory parts beyond these.
How Can I Use a Sling With the EP45?
The EP45 has an integrated point for a Quick Disconnect “QD” sling attachment, at the rear of the receiver. Additional QD attachment points can be attached to the picatinny-style rails if desired. Some cheaply made QD swivels are inconsistent sizes, so we recommend our EP Single Point Sling or the MagPul MAG540 QD swivel for a guaranteed fit.
