We dropped by the JP Enterprises booth at Triggrcon 2019. We view a wide range of products, including a new and rather interesting 5.5″ 9mm barrel with an aluminum sleeve over it that extends its length to an extremely lightweight 16″.
More from Triggrcon 2019…here we visit CMC Triggers. CMC has been manufacturing drop-in trigger components since 2003. We talk to CMC Triggers about how their self-contained is potentially a step above the competition…and more.
