GForce Arms Jawbone 9mm Pistol

GForce Arms is introducing the Jawbone, a U.S.-manufactured hybrid 9mm firearm built into a compact, high-capacity package. Whether you're looking for a reliable home-defense tool, a range companion or a tactical firearm, the Jawbone is built to meet the demands of the most discerning shooters.

The Jawbone is built with a 5-inch barrel that delivers match grade performance and is compatible with 9mm Glock-pattern double-stack magazines. The pistol ships with a 33-round, Glock-compatible magazine and offers additional magazine storage in the grip cavity.

The Jawbone features ambidextrous controls, including a magazine release and charging handle, ensuring smooth operation for both left- and right-handed users. The fore-end charging handle adds an extra layer of control and efficiency, giving you easy control and operation. At the end of the pistol is an Ace of Brace paddle-style pistol brace for even more stability and accuracy.

Weighing 80 ounces (or 5 pounds), the Jawbone offers a balance of lightweight maneuverability without sacrificing toughness. The lower receiver includes an aluminum over molded framework, which aids in reducing the weight while still maintaining high performance.

The full-length flat top Picatinny rail allows for easy optic and accessory customization, whether you're adding sights, optics, or tactical accessories to suit your specific needs.
