Custom Glock Racing Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Part 2 of my review is out.

caspian guy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thx for posting the in-depth review. It was interesting to see how much commonality the bolt had with the mp5 bolt (particularly the locking pieces) that should give an interesting capability to tune things. Link to comment
-JCN- Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hello, I have a JP5 on order but I really prefer shorter barrels. I’m a complete long gun noob. Can I use a standard AR barrel and handguard for a JP5 or is this something I have to get cut down? Thanks in advance! Link to comment

I have a tough time thinking a mil spec mag button will feel better than the MPX mag button with the Odin works extended button on it. The leverage of my setup feels amazing. And we ALL know that’s what sets the upper class shooters apart from lower class shooters.. regardless, I wanna try the JP5. A lot. It would be an expensive journey to switch platforms tho. I have back ups to my back ups for MPX crap. And no, not because they malf on me. 3 is adequate, 2 is 1 and 1 is none Edited January 11, 2022 by Bdh821 Link to comment

I debated on switching from the MPX a while ago but decided against it since I’m so deep into the MPX platform. I’ll gladly keep my unofficial lefty title warm for anyone to take.

I was going to install a TriggerTech, or is that not going to work either? I think their caveat was "Any MILSpec trigger", so any cartridge type triggers may not fit. I presume because of the pivoting ejector mechanism. The ECL may not fit because of the extra springs of the Hiperfire system. Nolan Link to comment
Maxamundo Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) The toggle springs in Hiperfires interfere. Large cartridges interfere (AR Gold/Timney DH 3-Gun, Triggertech). CMC "cartridge" interferes stock but I made it fit with a pair of tin snips by cutting the extra metal above the pins. Good budget option imo, very underrated trigger. Advertised 3.5 lbs but in reality they pull 2.5-3 lbs with little break in. Timney calvin elite does install because the housing is small, but didn't work well. It pulls at 1.25-1.5 lbs with a decent reset force (more than AR Gold). When first installed I thought it was the dream trigger, I was able to get 0.07-0.08 splits on demand, and even the occasional 0.06 (shown by AMG labs timer, not exactly how it's calculated. Could it have been a 0.69 split rounded down? Idk). After about 500 rounds it started bursting uncontrollably. I didn't try it with a much heavier hammer spring. Might be something to look into. Geissele SD3G has been flawless. Pulls at 2.25 lbs with over 1lb reset force. Toss up between this and ECL in my opinion, but in blowbacks the SD3G doesn't work well. Never used it in blowback because the system is too violent and Geisseles burst too easily. JP5 is very nice to triggers in my experience so far. .10 splits on demand is easy.

Walli Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Is there a reason not to use a JP trigger in a JP rifle? Link to comment
cferree Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 JP triggers are great for factory triggers, 3 1/2 +/- lbs. with a good reset. I wanted something lighter with a more positive reset in my GMR-15 so I went with a Hyperfire ECL (after watching one of Max's videos comparing a bunch of triggers). I pulled the ECL out of my GMR-15 before I sold it so I could put it in my JP-5. Looks like the house AR is getting a trigger upgrade. Link to comment

Their triggers are terrific feeling with the perfect over travel stops and pre-travel adjustments done. But for reliability with rifle primers (and keeping a good reset force at the same time) you really need to be in the above 3.5 lb range in my experience. Link to comment
cferree Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) From the latest JP BULLETin: "Finally, we know there’s plenty of anticipation out there right now on the JP-5™. We were really targeting to have guns shipping out right now, but “the best laid plans of mice and men,” and all that. Our time table has moved back as we deal with some manufacturing delays. Our new target is to start building about a month from now." If they're a month out from starting production, that's 30 days to ramp up, another 30 days minimum to get parts anodized and 30 to assemble and start shipping. Even if all my estimates are overly conservation, we're looking at 45-60 before they ship. So the original delivery schedule Q4-21/Q1-22 is now looking like Q2-22 maybe Q3?!?
