  4. GForce Arms: The Folks Behind the Jawbone, Filthy Pheasant, and More

We recently spent the day with the folks from GForce Arms and got the scoop on a new model Jawbone inbound for this summer. 

Founded back in 2020, GForce is still a young company and operates out of the Reno and Dallas area, with a new and often edgy twist on a whole line of imported and domestically-produced firearms. In the recent past, we've reviewed the company's LVR410 lever-action shotgun and Blade6 large-format pistol with our Paul Peterson describing the latter as a "great solution for an upgradable PCC that will run without being picky about ammo."

So when we had a chance to hang out with Cody and Wayne from GForce arms at a range day in Mississippi, we jumped at the opportunity. 
 

Jawbones


The GForce Jawbone line (don't worry, we have an in-depth review coming in the next few days) is a neat little blowback AR-9-style platform that uses a hybrid aluminum/polymer receiver. Offered in 9mm and .45ACP, it uses one of the most common double-stack magazine patterns on the market (Glock) and has lots of options for user upgrades. 

A neat model shown off at the range was a 45ACP Jawbone pistol, with a stabilizing brace attached, running a Dead Air Sandman suppressor.

Note the M-LOK slots in the handguard and full-length top Pic rail. We found this to be just a fun gun.

Keep in mind that the .45 is inherently subsonic, making the Dead Air Sandman, shown here, a no-brainer. 


Next was a new gun that will be "officially" announced later this year, a 9mm GForce Jawbone factory SBR complete with stock (transfers on a zero-tax but required Form 4), seen with a not-included Rugged Obsidian suppressor.

Oh, yeah.

The SBR features a factory-installed stock, as well as an extra mag saddle in the pistol grip to give the user 67 rounds on tap if using Glock 33-rounders.

You can expect this one to start shipping later this summer. 


Filthy Pheasant


Sporting one of the best names in the shotgun space, the Filthy Pheasant is a lot of over-and-under for the money. While most OAUs run four figures (to start with) the Filthy P can be had in the $400-$500 range, new in box. 
 

GForce Filthy Pheasant
Light and handy at just six pounds, this budget shotgun ships with five chokes (CYL, I-CYL, MOD, I-MOD, FULL) in a Benelli Mobil thread pattern, giving the user options. That is a Turkish Walnut stock and forearm.

Offered in 12ga, 20ga, 28ga, and .410 there are numerous variants of the FP, including youth models and those with inlaid aluminum receivers. GForce really makes it easy to take one of these to the field or clay stand.

The break-action FP uses extractors or ejectors, depending on the model. 


The range day was held at the McHenry Shooting Facility in Perkinston, a Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks public range which offers rifle and pistol ranges, skeet/trap fields, 3D archery, and more. Mississippi Outdoors' own Todd Shiyou was on hand for the event and stated the Pheasant is growing in popularity in both field and clays use, and it is easy to see why.
