Key Features
- Threaded Barrel – Factory-threaded barrel lets you attach a suppressor or compensator quickly, making it ready for range fun or tactical setups right out of the box.
- Last-Round Lock-Open – Slide locks back after the last shot, so you know exactly when to reload. That’s a simple but huge advantage for training or defense.
- Magazine Disconnect Safety – Pistol won’t fire if the magazine is removed, giving you an extra layer of protection during handling or storage.
- Picatinny Accessory Rail – Mount a light or laser under the barrel without needing an adapter. This makes the JCP Gen 2 ready for low-light scenarios.
- Fully Adjustable Rear Sight – Windage and elevation adjustments let you dial in your point of aim with different ammo loads, so you’re not stuck with factory zero.
