Nice looking piece. I own a Cz PO 7 Duty. Very close in form and function. Gave $400 for it with the new Omega Trigger pack. Slightly Smaller Package with more capacity in the magazine. Your review brings some good points out to consumers looking for quality with price. Thanks and God Bless
Grand power pistols are great guns. Glad people are catching on to them! I just pick up the competition varrient of the K100, called the X-Caliber, a few weeks ago! Haven't had the time to run enough ammo through it buy so far it's been excellent. If you like the K100 mk7 then you need to try out the newer mk12 framed variants. They've made a few nice improvements to the frame to get a higher grip on it.
construction of the slide catch on Grand Power pistols, that allows to light slide when the magazine is sharply loaded in, is constructed and designed purposely! It is a great feature, seems like automatic and quick-ready slide'n'load action. This feature needs of course to be user-practiced.
Thank you for a nice review. Good job on bringing light to one of less popular manufactures.There is so many great handguns out there these days. That is pretty hard to make a claim on what is the best. I personally like striker fire design. Companies like HK produce very nice barrels that are suppose to be more accurate, hoverer their accuracy produces diminishing marginal returns. Where you can see accuracy difference between lets say block and hk only with match ammo at high range.
I love SA/DA steel chassis pistols and I always wanted a more european style pistol. Im also very interested in how that rotating barrel holds up over time. Be sure to make update vids a couple months down the road! Til then I'll stick with my beloved p226. And drool over the new strike one
The slide stop problem you are having can probably be resolved through deep cleaning. The gun comes with a cosmoline-like substance all over the inside of it which is probably gumming up the slide stop and magazine. Try oiling it real good and wiping out the cosmoline as best you can. It worked for me.
I recently bought a SAR B6P compact for around $250 (imported by EAA), very similar to this Grand Power handgun. I like it a lot, it's a cz75 compact clone, so it will also take certain cz mags. Metal slide, poly frame, 600+ rounds at the range with no issues at all. It's made in turkey though. It seems like there are a lot of awesome guns for cheap because they're not well known, you just have to look.
I cant believe you said you don't like glocks ! now you've come down a notch on the high horse scale , I take my 10 mm out of the case every day just to smile .... just kidding your great , keep em coming .
dan moyer Glocks are indeed awesome, I think my apprehension goes back to the early 90s when every homie big-G, foo-dog rap-lord on the block parroted Hollywood's praises of the sideways held Glock based purely on style and image... Of course that doesn't negate the amazing performance of the old G17s, but I admit having a subconscious disgruntled attitude towards the stupid rap-props ever since... wood and steel, baby - or I suppose a steel reinforced Polymer framed P1, if I must partake of the coolaid ;-)
TiborasaurusRex However, the Glock 10mm is the choice of my spirit-uncle Ted Nugent, who is THE antithesis of the oversized-sweatpants-gansta' - so maybe I need to change my attitude a bit.
I have its bigger brother K100 (should be available in the US as STI GP6) with newer Mk12 frame. It is 100 % reliable, never failed me. Rotating barrel is nice. Price is really good too. The only downside is that there are not aftermarket parts for this gun. Especially sights.
How do you like the k100? I have the p40s&w and need another Target fun gun. Got my daughter a sccy but it's not a range gun more cc. Isn't k100 full sized?
Great video! It's extremely difficult to find Grand Power videos that are in English. I've seen maybe 5, one of them being a video of the P11 Mk12 that sootch00. I've the P11 Mk12, the sub-compact version of the K100. I'd carry it if I could find a mag (may have to have an IWB holster custom-made). GP makes great guns!
TiborasaurusRex any update on those bible vids we talked about? just dont want you to forget. it would be nice to see dante in them, i liked him in your other bible vids. thanks again for all you do Rex
TiborasaurusRex there were a few, how about the last one on the legitimacy of the bible because there are obviously mistranslations, but i have heard there were things that have been omitted from it or not included in it. another one some people might find interesting is the topic of if animals/pets go to heaven like humans can. I hope you dont get reduce to only bible vids because of obama... take your time and thanks again, keeping you in my prayers and hoping you have a full recovery
dan c. Roger that, I am printing it immediately and will hang it over my screen until I get it filmed for ya :-) Stay tuned, bro! Thanks for reminding me...
I really like the look of this pistol; trigger quality is very important to me. Do you have any other recommendations for pistols with light, crisp triggers? I'm looking to pick up a replacement for my full-size gun, but most of the triggers on polymer pistols I've tried...frankly suck.
I am def going to look into this, b/c I shoot both L&R Handed and it would be interesting to see how she stacks up. Also like DA/SA guns Sig is my Ford!!
TiborasaurusRex That took me a couple of minutes to figure out! The Burbs! Haha - at first I was thinking "is that a Vincent Price-type guy?" I'll have to break that movie out again, good stuff.
Thanks, I have been looking for a gun that I can buy a number of them. I am one of those that figures things will go off the rails sooner or later. So my idea is to have number of guns like this one that are not a lot of money that I can give to people if things get bad.
Nice review of a pistol with good value 👍. Thanks! I couldn't help noticing that although the pistol is made in Slovakia, the scarf it rested on said "Slovenska" or the like. I.e Slovenia 😉. Will Sniper 101 continue? Thanks for all your work Rex! 👍👍
Karl Liljekvist Upon the scarf is spelled: SLOVENSKO - which is the Slovak name for Slovakia. Slovenska is a town in Slovenia. Yup SNIPER 101 is still in the works.
+Mark Eggers The best prices were from Bud's & Cheaper Than Dirt on these Mk7 pistols. (I got my K100 from CTD for $365.) They've both sold out. The Mk12 P1 & K100 are available now, but are over $500. J&G sales had magazines for $19.95, but have also sold out. Mags are now available elsewhere for $43 each. They are very nice, very slickly functioning mags, made in Italy. The P1 and K100 use the same mags.
+tsmgguy Don't buy from CTD. They are the most price gouging company in the industry and a lot of us have sworn off of them for good. The day after Sandy Hook they removed semi auto rifles from their store and started charging $1.00 a round for 5.56 (did it again with green tips when that happened) and $100 for Pmags.

Awesome stuff rex keep them coming ☺ If you get a chance have a look at my chanel please and feel free to leave a comment! You got me into long range shooting and I thank you for that ! God bless
Stop hating on Glock. They shoot, every time. They are simple beyond stupid. Why hate on something that satisfies the function, reliability, and safety? Glock works at a great price.
E. White You are right about that. Glock is a fine weapon though. There are a lot of good weapons these days. Sig seems to have the following of the BLOPS community.

i love the intro, greetings from slovakia, got the gun recently
I say ugly words everytime I take my p40 apart. Thinking about getting this one since the p40s&w has been awesome. Very well made.
Beretta Px4 Storm has that rotating barrel and works very well.

My bersa Firestorm mini 40 did that and a site said it was battle ready. Figured it's more for tournament shooting. Still coo as hell everytime
Thanks for the vid Rex that pistol looks promising!

that slide closing is made for that its designed to lock slide after inserting mag with little bit of guic push
:)
Great review Rex, as always! Sniper tutorial friend here :)!
I'm looking to probably buy a concealed carry once I'm 21, I'll set this one as my goal!
Really loved geography lesson , being born in Slovakia .

Canik Stingray should also be considered. Heavy, but with it's internal slide. it is the most accurate handgun I own. Trigger kits are available.
Killer video
Thank you for the information I'm shopping around for my first pistol
Thanks for sharing. Pretty cool little pistol.
That rotating barrel is like the one in my Beretta PX4 Storm.
potomacscott Yup, smart design.
TiborasaurusRex any update on those bible vids we talked about? just dont want you to forget. it would be nice to see dante in them, i liked him in your other bible vids. thanks again for all you do Rex

Solid review.
Slide release when you insert magazine is intentional, but it should be easy to "fix" it.
I really like the look of this pistol; trigger quality is very important to me. Do you have any other recommendations for pistols with light, crisp triggers? I'm looking to pick up a replacement for my full-size gun, but most of the triggers on polymer pistols I've tried...frankly suck.
The Social Regressive 1911s have great SA triggers
slide removal is the same as the Walther PPK with the trigger guard.
Thanks .good to see you
I am def going to look into this, b/c I shoot both L&R Handed and it would be interesting to see how she stacks up. Also like DA/SA guns Sig is my Ford!!
Best intro!
Ambis Magee Reuben Klopek intro, haha
TiborasaurusRex That took me a couple of minutes to figure out! The Burbs! Haha - at first I was thinking "is that a Vincent Price-type guy?"
I'll have to break that movie out again, good stuff.
Ambis Magee Dead-on. The Uncle Reuben scene was classic. That's one of my favorite movies of all time.
How do you think it stacks up against the px4 storm?
I think it's great they (Grand Power) make a 10mm.
Good video. Thanks.
Hello, what after market sights can you use?
Thanks, I have been looking for a gun that I can buy a number of them. I am one of those that figures things will go off the rails sooner or later. So my idea is to have number of guns like this one that are not a lot of money that I can give to people if things get bad.
Do you still own this pistol? Still no malfunctions and how many rounds now?
Yessir. It's my favorite 9mm yet. I got a lot through. Lost count. Zero hang ups. :)
I can't find this pistol anywhere. Only the P1 Mk12. Was it replaced?
+Brent Smith Yep, the Mk7 models are out of production. The Mk12 models are currently available.
You failed to point out the hammer drop function.
🇸🇰Slovakia🙂🙂🙂
Any idea where I can get a steel rod guide to replace the polymer one in this pistol?
+Robert Mortensen Machine Shop - - - maybe... good question.
I know it's been a year since you asked this but they have them on the Grand Power web site if anybody else is looking.
would you recomend this for a beginner
Clearly YES. But I have to warn you, this gun is so perfect, that it's difficult to find other guns as good as this.
LoBoFuror thanks boss
need 3d model of this pistol, does anyone can help me?
The life span of this pistol is over 100,000 rds so it will outlast many more expensive brand pistols and human life span for that matter
Really interesting.
Nice review of a pistol with good value 👍. Thanks!
I couldn't help noticing that although the pistol is made in Slovakia, the scarf it rested on said "Slovenska" or the like. I.e Slovenia 😉.

In Eastern Europe, when the gun can't shoot, that is considered not safe. It is only safe when the gun can fire lol.
Originally it was blue, but based on customer request it was changed to red. But I agree that it's weird.
and then to black, as they ship it now.
CZ-82 style takedown.
looks like glock and a sig with a hint of CZ
Am-bi-dex-truss. No ee sound in there.
The Caracal F and Steyr M9 are the two best full size pistols you can get for under $500
anyone tell you - you sound like Ted Nugent
But this pistol has a service life of over 100,000 rounds where Glock and M/P may not reach 75,000
Walther P88 clone?
It's polymer, not metal frame. And it's a rotating barrel, not a browning style lockup.
Pretty different.
Awesome stuff rex keep them coming ☺
