Grand Power X-Caliber MK 23 Gun Review : Rotating Barrel System
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2024
- Grand Power Line of handguns is one of those hidden gems that is unique in the market. The Rotating barrel system makes it a very soft shooting and accurate pistol. Made in Slovakia, it has the Eastern European flare. The X-Caliber is a match ready and the flag ship of the Grand Power Line.
Thanks to Nate at Gun Zone Deals for supplying the X-Caliber for the review. @gunzonedeals3261

I own a Beretta PX storm in 40 cal.
Rotating barrel is a different animal in the gun world
Love mine
Turns the .40 into a smooth shooter.
I have a previous generation X-Cal. This is my main IPSC match pistol. Over the years, it still performs better then me.
Chances of Glock implementing a rotating barrel are zero. They just started putting front slide serrations and optic cuts on their guns, they aren't exactly innovative. I love Grand Power, they are extremely underrated. I'll take their guns over Caniks any day of the week. Great video.
They have the rotating barrel system in Europe I think it's the model 46
PX4 storm and Grand Power outstanding performance as a Manufacture and repair 100.000 rounds and still going.
You and Honest Outlaw have the best reviews! Can’t go wrong hearing from you. God Bless
Amen
We need more of these. Grand Power didn't even register in my mind, until you said Stribog. I wonder why more manufacturers don't do something with rotating barrels? I've never shot one, myself, but everyone I've heard talking about them loves them.
Because there is no "easy" way to engineer and manufacture a rotating barrel threading for comps and suppressors.
@@kenshaffer5664 Comps and suppressors are a vanishingly small portion of the consumer market.
@@009013M3 I am just explaining why they are not more common. I am not saying it is a good reason...
I have a few Cougars (8040 and 8045) that use a rotating barrel recoil system. It's a neat system.
Iam a simple Slovak man...i see Grand Power, i press like:)
Well done!
Genius level Funny.
I really wish GP would speed up its delivery to US FFL's with the new optic plate options. The rotating barrel is a true game changer imo. PX4 is amazing (although needing some updating)
You're the best Don, been with you from the start.
Sometimes I watch these just for your inspiring send off; this wasn't one of those times. Great video.
Hi sootch00, Video Frame Rates. Broadcast Standards: Cinematic movies FHD 24fps; TV shows FHD PAL 25fps / NTSC 30fps. This is still a problem on RUclips and other media. High frame rates like 50/60fps show imperfections and can cause other playback problems. Shoot whatever high frame rates you like 50/60fps. High fps is for slow motion and editing. But render down in post production. Smoother and preserves the quality after editing. So the finished video is media broadcast standard: 24, 25, 30fps. Easier to watch on more devices, and share on more platforms. Check for yourself and best wishes.
It seems you're saying higher resolution devices should give up fidelity and smoothness of motion? 🤷🏻♂️
GREAT VIDEO! Thanks sootch!
That is such an interesting weapon ..thank you for this great review
When I have K22 and I know I am following love with Grand power ❤ also I love my Stribog too ❤
Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤Looks very accurate 👍
Looks good! Rotating barrel sounds awesome 👌
Awesome video nice and cool gun with the rotate barrel thanks for sharing sootch00
Another great rotating barrel option is the Turkish made Stoeger Cougar. It's built on the Beretta Cougar pattern and comes in 9mm and 40 S&W. I had the 40, it is a great pistol at a great price. They are rare but if you can find one, buy it. You will not be disappointed.
I had one of the Beretta Cougar compacts in 45acp back when they first came out.
Another one I should have kept.
I wish they'd make it in 40 S&W that's higher in power than 9mm and more fitting to the name "Excalibur ".
Great review! That is a cool pistol.
Awesome they actually put love back into this platform. I thought they were done with it. 🤙 it’s the most interesting pistol platform on the market.
looks BRUTAL
I had a mk12 and really liked it. The mk23 X-Cals are just a bit more than I want to spend so I ordered a mk23 K100 instead. I also have a mk12 P11, love carrying it.
Pretty cool design
I can't wait to grab the K1 mk23 when they go market wide.
Reviewing such a nice pistol
Cool looking gun. Take note Beretta, this is how you do full slide serrations
Beautiful barrel, nice firearm for sure. Love Grand Power firearms, one came through my local gun shop awhile back, I should have grabbed it.
Be well
Global Ordnance has them all in stock. The older ones are priced pretty modestly.
That is one mean looking pistol, very nice!
Beautiful gun.
Hey you remembered the uplula today I see Don lol nice pistol thanks for sharing living vicariously thru you brotha here in SC
PDWs, love it.
As a simp of the PX4 Storm, I am listening 👀
Same here! I love my PX4s so much, this caught my attention for sure.
I have the MK12. Great pistol.
Thanks. Shared.
Looks nice
I have the Q100 since 2019. Shot it last monday afternoon just to remind me how good and accurate this pistol is.
🇺🇸
That is just a great looking gun with real sights, eastern Europeans know weapons .
Nice close ups of trigger action..
*sootch00* Sweet little shooter you got there sootch, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless brother.
Thanks Kevin! Always appreciated Brother~
God Bless you and yours!
GOBBLESS BORTHER
@@sootch00 You bet!
I have the previous version. Amazing piece. I've had it since it was released. It is a tack driver. One thing Sooch didn't mention and I'm not sure if he noticed of if this model does it... But my version auto drops the side when replacing a mag on a locked back slide. No other motions needed.
гарна гарматка вигляд чудовий дякую
Like the Beretta Cougar
Nice
I have the Storm 4, a great system, and the trigger is fantastic. If the GP is as reliable, and handles like the Storm, it's a good piece. Did I miss if it has a hammer drop?
on the glock with a rotary barrel well i saw a tftb video at the iwa show in germany and low n behold they build one called the model 46. it also has a true dao trigger in it also. was specifically built for a german police contract. dunno if we’ll ever see it stateside though.
GP makes great pistols, the 10mm versions are next level weapons.
They make good .22 pistol aswell!!!
I need one! It is a sexy pistol.
I have a Grand Power P45L, and I love it. Had lots of failures to feed and eject at the start. This was due to the fact that mag catch wasn’t holding the magazines properly. Once that was fixed, I have had no malfunctions with over 7000 rounds shot. The only complaint that I have, is that if you don’t have the barrel positioned just right…the reassembly will be a bitch. I did buy the Grand Power X-Calibre in an airsoft version.
Nice, but at ~ $1100 for the Grand Power, the Beretta PX-4 Storm at ~ $550 seems to make more sense.
Faboluos gun 👌👌👌 i have a LP380 and its sweet gun to shoot, the CZ +2 mag extentions will fit in a GP mags??
@sootch00 We shoot IDPA with X-calibur Match Mk23
Looks like a good pistol, thanks for another good vídeo Sootch, my support from Brazil, sorry to be so pessimist, but now, only a miracle can save the American Republic.
Thanks Joao! I always appreciate your comments. It's not looking good but we're not done yet!
@@sootch00 wait until november.
I'm 47yrs old. $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways!!!!❤️
Awesome, Tell me about it!!!!🙏
It's Renee Marie Harrison doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Renee Marie Harrison.
< I know that woman (Renee Marie Harrison)
If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
Wow 😱 I know her too
Miss Renee Marie Harrison is a remarkable individual who has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life. Her unwavering support, kindness, and wisdom have been invaluable assets, enriching my journey in countless ways.
It's sort of pedantic, but different delay mechanisms can't really reduce recoil. They can change the shape of the recoil impulse curve, with the area under the curve staying the same. They can make the curve more consistent across different loads. But Newton is a real stickler on these things.
That’s very pedantic. I would say “felt recoil” is different from recoil and is easily identified.
@@raclark52 You're right. "Impulse curve" is an important part of that -- with misplaced spikes in the impulse curve leading to high felt recoil.
Love my XP40 and my k100 X-Trim 9mm. The trigger is wayyyyy better than the PX4
This takes apart very similar to the H&K VP70/VP70Z
I have shot rotating barrels (both GP and the Beretta) , and while different, I didnt really think it shot "flatter" think I would rather go with a Canik SFX, the 150 dollar comp for it, and a box of 1000 rounds to shoot for the price difference.
Great review… And I do got a question, it was stated that the rotating barrel moves/rotates & slides forward when cycling. Is that true and how does that actually work? If someone could better explain that to me please?🙏
There is a wide flute cut into the barrel toward the back. There is a round, hardened cross pin just behind the flute. The slide moves backward under recoil and unlocks the barrel. As the barrel moves backward from the bullet leaving the bore, the barrel strikes the pin and is rotated in the same ratio as the flute is cut. When the slide returns forward under spring pressure, the barrel moves forward and rotates back into position (again, with the flute riding on the pin). The slide then returns to battery until the gun is fired again. That is a highly amateur description, and I welcome any corrections.
So is this rotating delayed blowback, like the MAB PA-15 or rotating locked like the Systema OBREGON? I.E. does the barrel rotate in place (delayed blowback) or move backwards with the slide and then rotate?
Tim over on MAC could barely get one of these guns back together. Have they changed them some, or are you just better at it? :)
if you can try out the big duty sized grand power LP 380 4.66 inch barrel, fixed barrel so it's accurate, seen a review on it and that thing can run fast with hardly any recoil, speed and accuracy is overwhelming even to sensitive shooters, trigger they claim is a amazing short reset into single action after the first double action pull, a 4.66 inch barrel is pushing a 90 grain hydra shock' 380 to 1070 - 1080 fps wich is maybe 90 fps faster then a 3.5 inch bersa thunder 380 like I have, the federal 99 grain hst rounds expect more velocity and limited use +P ammo like under wood you can use, a full duty size 380 that you carry on the hip but the speed and accuracy is it's upside, getting them bullets under stress and pressure where you want them to go is what it's all about, the heart, spine, head and won't be a problem drawing fast with that full duty size grip, almost like a CZ with very little recoil, could be a step up I power for weak handed or disabled people from other 380s and a 22 lr, a ambI gun for rights and lefty shooter and feed ramp is direct feed, I think double stack 15 round mags, double strike capability, rail for weapon mounted light, cock and lock carry to if you want
For someone wanting a rotating barrel: this or the PX4?
❤️
Grand Power never succeeded in Canada because of bad management. couldn't buy magazines or parts for them, no customer support. all the people that bought them in the beginning quickly sold them. stores stopped selling them
also the lack of a decocker and flimsy safety that can easily be wiped on of off make it less than safe except for a range toy.
Is it possible to use a can with this rotating barrel?
At first glance, I honestly thought it was wrapped in electrical tape. Then the lighting changed and really made it pop.
It's got the looks of A cz
Has this guy reviewed the copy of the Daewoo K5 the Lionheart Vulcan?
I bought an X-Calibur X-trim Mk12 years ago when they first started marketing these in the country. I only owned it a short time as the recoil mitigation wasn't any better than other guns I had shot like the Tanfoglio Witness or the CZ-75 SP-01. It's a cool looking gun, but with limited aftermarket and holster support back then I just didn't have any reason to own one. I still don't.
I am not sure exactly what is the difference between this and the not much more expensive Match model?
10mm rotating barrel option please
Why are comments turned off on the Glock 49 review?
I'm not really on board with all the cutouts on the slide. They're just more access points for dirt and crud to bind up the slide.
The next generation of Glocks also have a rotating barrel. If I’m gonna buy a gun called the MK23 it’s gonna be the real one.
The storm would prolly be more popular if it didn't look so cheap and dumb, now the G.P. is sick looking
Does it assemble with any more EASE than the older version you have?
Or, did you just master how to curl your toes and hold your tongue?
You sure did make it look as easy as a Walther PP series, LOL.
Are those cz75 mags? they look a little similar...
With gaston passed on you'd think glock would finally market the 46 and update their outdated product line.
but I've been dissapointed before and I'll be dissapointed again.
Looks like it has a lower bore axis from the PX4
looks like the Nue from cp2077
The rotating barrel does not make it a delayed blowback operated gun. It is still a recoil operated gun, the difference being in the lockup of the barrel as it recoils compared to Browning link or linkless lockup of most handguns. Blowback guns have fixed barrels. If the barrel moves, it's definitely not blowback operated.
Only a 15rd. Mag.? I think it should be at least a 20rd.
would be a nice pistol if the grip would not feel that cheap in hand, it just not feel like high quality polymer like on just for example a Glock
Isn't the mags Baretta based?
The rotating barrel system adds such a smooth feel to each shot, and the accuracy is on point. Made in Slovakia with that Eastern European craftsmanship, it's got that rugged reliability you want in a firearm.
Remember, Slovakia and Czech Republic were, not long ago, the same country. So Slovakia engineering is most likely on a par with CZ guns, and we all know their quality!
Those virtues also translate into larger calibers...like the 10mm.
Eastern European craftsmanship is wildly overrated. It was actually a propaganda point pushed by the Soviet Union and it looks like it worked
@@joeblowe3180 Propaganda sticks around, unfortunately
Make it in 10mm magnum & I'll understand the concept!
10mm doesn't exist, yet!
It should!
The not yet released Glock 46 will have a rotating barrel.
😮😮 VERYGOOD man sudyord...
I from THAILAND พัทลุง😊😊🔥🔥👍👍
19 4 67
Correct name is X-Calibur, though.
Why don't we have laser blasters yet?😢
You would think they would chamber the new guns in ten millimeters and a half the best of both worlds between nine millimeter and forty five.
Interesting rotating barrel system, similar bolt of the AR 15...very good
It has nothing to do with an AR15.
G46 👀
Never ever seen a Grand Power in the wild. Good luck finding magazines or holsters. Or spare parts. Or service in case anything breaks. FedEx it to Slovakia?
The rotaing barrel system theoretically gives better accuracy as the barrel is not tilting up and down requiring very close fitted bushing fit and lug fit to get consistent accuracy. Same argument for the Walther tilting wedge system that allows the barrel to remain on the same axis using a falling wedge to unlock the barrel from the slide.
distributor will help you with any thing
Glock won't even upgrade their sights let alone a rotating Barrel LOL
Derp. They literally have a rotating barrel pistol. It's called the G46.
Why upgrade "perfection"?
So it works like a savage semi auto but modern. .
Of course, it'll run wallessly.He'll never have a jam or any problem .
