Built to shoot
The Jawbone isn’t just intended for spray-and-pray range day fun. It comes with a Picatinny rail the full length of the top of the receiver, so it will take a wide range of optics, including iron sights, a red dot or a magnified scope.
A telescopic paddle-style pistol stabilizing brace from Ace of Brace extends from the back of the receiver from an AR-style attachment point, allowing you to steady your aim.
The receiver itself is polymer, with an aluminum liner to prolong its lifespan under heavy round count.

The Jawbone comes with a 33-round Glock-pattern magazine, although you can obviously add your own lower-capacity mags if you want (or maybe a drum, if you’re feeling your oats). The grip allows you to store another stick mag if you want, inside.

The mag release and forward-positioned charging handle are ambidextrous; switch the charging handle to the opposite side of the barrel, if you feel you the need to change things up.
The pistol weighs only five pounds, although a fully-loaded extended mag will push that higher. The five-inch barrel has 1/2-28 UNEF threads at the muzzle, so you can add a device to improve, or quieten down, your shooting. Trigger pull is 4.5 pounds, give or take half-a-pound.
The GForce Jawbone has a $439 MSRP, and comes with a five-year warranty at that price.
While many of GForce’s firearms are made in Turkey, they say this one is made in the U.S.A. For more details, check out GForceArms.com.
