I recently made a post asking for recommendations on aftermarket magazines for the GForce Jawbone in .45 ACP, but I ended up going with the 9mm version instead. Due to magazine compatibility & availability.

I’m curious to hear from anyone who owns or has experience with the 9mm Jawbone. How has yours been holding up? Any reliability issues or things I should look out for?

I already know there are factory magazines available, but I’m interested in hearing about any aftermarket magazine options that people have actually tested and had good experiences with.

Also, what upgrades or accessories would you recommend for this platform? Any tips for a new Jawbone owner are appreciated.

I’ll include a picture of my build as i go on. this is what i ended up with on the first day, couldnt help myself . Let me know what you guys think!

I’m looking into picking up a GForce .45 ACP and wanted to hear from people who actually own one and have experience with them.

From what I understand, they come with KCI or Amend2 24-round .45 ACP magazines. I’m curious how well those hold up long-term and whether anyone has experienced feeding, fitment, or reliability issues.

I already own Glock .45 ACP magazines and know those are an option, but I’m interested in exploring other aftermarket solutions as well. I’ve heard of brands like ETS, but I’m looking for something reputable and reliable rather than just buying extra capacity.

For those of you running one, what magazines have you tried, and which would you recommend? Are there any brands you’d avoid or compatibility issues I should know about?

Also, for those familiar with both versions, would you recommend going with the .45 ACP or the 9mm GForce? Is the .45 ACP version a solid, reliable PDW, or would I be better off going with the 9mm in terms of overall reliability, magazine availability, and practicality?

I’m interested in hearing real-world experiences with both calibers before making my decision. Appreciate any input!

Just installed a Strike Industries Gen 5 magwell on my G19. Overall, the fit and finish seem pretty good, but I’ve noticed one issue: my magazines require a little extra force to fully seat, and I have to push them in a bit harder to get that noticeable “click.”

I’m wondering if this could be related to the magazines being fully loaded, or if the magwell is affecting the fit somehow. Could it potentially be an issue with the magazine release?

Has anyone else experienced this with the Strike Industries Gen 5 magwell? Any advice or things I should check would be appreciated.

looking for another alternative for a site , armslist has been down almost all week , i already tried gafshub & gunbroker . just looking for wesites that show local dealer intentory&or local trades?

i just picked up this 19 last week, felt like that was missing. currently have:
glock 21 gen5
glock45 (two of them)
glock 43
p80 glock 19
p80 glock 17
p80 glock 26

paper plate @ 25yrds with glock 19

still sometimes shooting low left so just trying to clean it up.
just came to test the 19 , gonna throw a magwell and handle it grips after shooting it.

might also look into trading it in for a gen 6 19 but thats just an idea.
