The first thing you notice about the gun is that unlike other AR pistols there's not a pistol buffer tube attached. This makes for a much shorter pistol overall, and I like the fact that the pistol buffer has been eliminated since I've never been a fan of it.
The EXP is able to cycle thanks to a spring system that sits above the modified BCG. So instead of needing a buffer, tube, and spring you only need the spring at the top to allow the pistol to properly function. The picture below should help that make a bit more sense.
I like how light it is, and the fact that it is very easy to take down for cleaning. Even though it is polymer it seems well made, and possibly even sturdy enough to take a good amount of abuse if used as a truck gun.
The Mission First Tactical pistol grip is a nice addition to it, and from what I have been told makes it comfortable to shoot one handed or even shoot using a normal handgun hold. Two things of which I am planning on testing out when we take it out to the range.
Also it has the winter style trigger guard allowing the use of larger gloves when it is cold outside.
The compensator is extremely aggressive to force the gasses upwards to keep the pistol from having ridiculous muzzle flip. It looks to me like we will see some really cool fire shots in slow motion video, which of course is always fun.
Having not taken this pistol out to the range yet I still have my reservations about it. While I do not expect this to be a go to home defense gun, or a take it out in the field gun. Instead this is a let's go out to the range and have some fun AR pistol.
