Overview

The Aero Precision EPC-9 brings Aero's established reputation for quality AR components to the PCC market. Using a simple blowback operating system with standard Glock magazines, the EPC-9 offers familiar AR-15 ergonomics and controls in a pistol-caliber package. For AR shooters who want a 9mm trainer or home defense option, the transition is seamless.

Aero manufactures the EPC-9 with the same attention to detail as their M4E1 rifle platform: precision-machined receivers with clean aesthetics, ATLAS handguards with anti-rotation tabs, and quality barrels. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices and suppressors. The compatibility with Glock magazines ensures affordable and widely available feeding.

The EPC-9 uses a standard AR-15 lower parts kit (minus the bolt catch), making trigger upgrades straightforward. The simple blowback system, while having more felt recoil than delayed alternatives, is proven reliable and less complex. For shooters who want an AR-pattern PCC without premium pricing, Aero delivers their characteristic value proposition.
