If this item is out of stock you can preorder here- JP-5 Steel Challenge Carbine
This is the revolution the PCC world has been waiting for.
In the world of Pistol Caliber Carbines, JP has become the industry standard with the unmatched reliability and accuracy of our GMR-15™ platform. Never ones to rest on our laurels, we’ve pushed PCC design to the edge with the state-of-the-art JP-5™. This 9mm carbine combines every advantage of its predecessor with the legendary function of the H&K MP5. The result is a PCC that is all things to all shooters.
In addition to a lighter overall weight, the roller-delayed operating system of the JP-5™ replicates the supreme recoil management of the MP5. The result is a soft-shooting carbine with radically faster sight recovery and target indexing. As our Team JP shooter Josh Froelich puts it, “The JP-5™ shoots like a .223 not a 9mm carbine.” Combined with the unparalleled reliability our PCCs are known for, the JP-5™ is sure to be the go-to platform for competition, law enforcement and recreation.
Utilizing standard Glock 9mm magazines, the JP-5™ lower receiver features ambi. controls and maintains signature AR-15 ergonomics and height-over-bore. The operating system also accepts most MP5 aftermarket components. The JP-5™ is tunable in both the Silent Captured Spring buffer system and lock piece to accommodate suppressed use as well as varying barrel length and ammunition.

- Proven, unmatched reliability

JP-5™ Steel Challenge Carbine
Optimized for maximum speed, the JP-5™ Steel Challenge Carbine is the perfect choice for the rapid-indexing of Steel Challenge. We've pulled as much weight as possible out of this model with an MFT minimized buttstock and titanium compensator for a super-lightweight rig. Our Glock-magazine PCCs have proven to be the standard to beat for reliability in the PCC world, and this speed demon of a model pushes the already feather-weight JP-5™ platform as light as it can go.

Bad Ass
Felt like I waited a year to get my hands on this bad boy and JP delivered as expected and blew me away with the softest shooting 9mm carbine that I've ever shot. And that's more than 10. What a pleasant surprise. I shot the new JP5 against my winning GMR15 and shaved almost 3 full seconds off the 5 stage match time. Just under 10%. Amazing pickup transitioning between targets. No pulling the muzzle down after a shot that pretty much feels like shooting a 22. Drew one heck of a crowd after the match when competitors found out I was letting people try it out. Was awesome watching the smiles walk off the line. I hope they have to wait a year for theirs so I can continue with the leg up advantage over the field. Can't believe anyone would be disappointed with this purchase even with the asking price. Perfectly manufactured product inside and out. Thanks JP and Shooters Connection.
