The video focuses on the G-Force Jawbone pistol-caliber carbine, presented in its factory box and discussed as a dedicated PCC platform. The host explains that this segment is a technical breakdown rather than a shooting review, though the Jawbone appears in a separate PCC comparison video on the main channel. The plan is to cover the technical specifications first, then walk from tip to butt to highlight features not fully detailed in the spec sheet, and finally verify some of the listed specs. The Jawbone is positioned as a compact 9mm PCC-style pistol intended to run reliably with straightforward blowback operation and practical controls.
The Jawbone is described as a 9mm pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a front blast deflector. The deflector is a solid device rather than a compensator, intended to direct blast forward away from the shooter. The pistol uses Glock-pattern magazines and ships with a GeForce-branded magazine that functioned properly in use, while remaining compatible with standard Glock magazines. The manufacturer lists the weight at 5 pounds and the overall length at 20 inches, though it is unclear whether that figure refers to the brace extended or collapsed. The trigger pull is stated at 4.5 pounds. The host notes curiosity about whether the listed weight includes a magazine and plans to verify both weight and trigger pull later in the video.
Moving into the feature overview, the Jawbone uses a movable brace that locks into multiple positions. As expected for a brace on a pistol, there is some flex, but when shouldered briefly it feels solid for a blade-style design. The platform uses a simple blowback action, and the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle allows the blast deflector to be replaced with a suppressor or compensator to help manage recoil. The charging handle is reversible, allowing ambidextrous setup, and the bolt is non-reciprocating. The charging handle can be run in a more low-profile configuration or extended slightly to keep fingers away from the Picatinny rail edges. The Jawbone continues the ambidextrous theme with controls such as a bolt hold-open and bolt release accessible from both sides.
The Jawbone features large paddle-style magazine releases on both sides of the lower, positioned so that shooters with short or long fingers can easily reach them. The upper includes a full-length Picatinny rail for mounting optics. Ambidextrous safety levers are present, and the handguard shows some lightening cuts that also provide additional grip texture for a forward support hand. The pistol grip has aggressive texturing with finger grooves, aimed at shooters who prefer a contoured grip. The handguard is secured with screws and an anti-rotation tab to keep it locked in place. Overall, the ergonomics and control layout are presented as well thought out for a value-oriented AR9-style PCC pistol.
A distinctive feature of the Jawbone is the ability to store a spare magazine inside the pistol grip. In addition to the standard Glock-pattern magazine well, the grip accepts a magazine inserted from the bottom purely for storage, not for feeding. The host demonstrates inserting a separate magazine into the grip, describing it as a hidden or unexpected spare mag location on a PCC. Initially, the stored magazine can be pulled out without resistance, but a small internal piece in the grip can be pushed back to fully engage the retention, after which the magazine locks in place and cannot be pulled free without using the release. The host suggests that a brief break-in period or a bit of lubrication may help this mechanism operate more smoothly over time.
The video then verifies the Jawbone’s dimensions using a tape measure. With the brace collapsed and including the blast deflector, the overall length measures about 21 inches, suggesting the listed 20-inch figure may be measured from the start of the barrel threads. With the brace extended, the length increases to roughly 24.25 inches. The height of the pistol without a magazine is close to 7 inches. With a magazine inserted, the overall height is about 10.25 inches. These measurements support the idea that the Jawbone can serve as a compact bag gun or stored configuration while still offering a usable brace length when extended.
A scale is used to check the manufacturer’s 5-pound weight claim. Without a magazine, the Jawbone weighs approximately 4.74 pounds. With the supplied magazine inserted, the weight reads about 4.89 pounds, which the host considers close enough to the stated 5-pound specification. A trigger gauge is then used to test the listed 4.5-pound trigger pull. After an initial reading around 3 pounds, a more controlled pull yields a measurement of 4.5 pounds, matching the factory spec. The host notes that movement of the pistol during testing can affect readings, but in this case the verified trigger pull aligns closely with the manufacturer’s claim.
In closing, the Jawbone is described as a straightforward blowback 9mm PCC pistol with a basic but effective charging handle, a solid brace, and a lower receiver that incorporates several thoughtful features, including ambidextrous controls and integrated spare magazine storage in the grip. It is characterized as a value-focused option that still offers features sometimes found on more expensive PCCs, aside from its simple blowback operating system. The host considers it one of the more underrated PCCs in its price range and encourages viewers who own a GeForce PCC, particularly the Jawbone, to share their experiences in reviews. The video ends with a brief sign-off and mention of preparation for the upcoming PCC comparison video.
