Grand Power K100 MK7 - Page 3

Thanks for your review .Please explain more about the (There's also an issue with the trigger in that if you hand rack the slide, it doesn't always push the hammer down far enough to catch on the sear. It doesn't affect the cycling of the pistol, just that when you hand rack the slide the hammer ends up at half-cock notch.)

In the photo view .Yes you are master of the guns

To cock the hammer (whether it be by hand, by racking the slide, or cycling during firing) it needs to come back a certain amount to catch on the sear. If you cycle the slide by hand (forward to back to forward), the slide doesn't always push the hammer back far enough to catch on the sear. It's just barely not enough, and it only doesn't catch if you pull slightly up on the slide while pulling it back. It doesn't do it while cycling during firing.

I am amazed at how well the Grand Power P1 (mid size) that I have performs. The double action trigger is just over 8 pounds, the single action is just over 4 pounds (with a super short reset for those that care about such things - like for serious competition). The recoil in 9mm is very slight. The rotating barrel helps reduce muzzle flip instead of a Browning-Tilt barrel lockup.

300 rounds of various full metal jacket and hollowpoint ammo (10 different kinds) and this gun just keeps on shooting.

Very tight slide to frame fit makes it silent when shaken. Shoots very accurately to point of aim. Tough sights made of steel and very snag free with the semi-circle design.

Just an all around great gun. My only grip is they need to eliminate the red circle that shows when the 1911 style thumb safety is on safe. Here in the US (and actually just about everywhere else), red is dead. Red means fire, not safe. They need to get rid of the red color or make it white.

That's a minor grip, I think the pistol is amazing.

mm6, good review. good to know you appreciate the gp pistols

i hope century decides to import these
Grand Power P45

The gun is built for the use of the latest generation handle mk12. The main feature of the new desighn handle mk12 is the dismantling runner,(similar to glock).

where can you get spare magazines for the Grand Power

Bader8312 · February 25, 2013, 11:26 AM

Dear member mm6mm6 kindly tell me about trigger travel distance some one ask it just 5mm in single action .Please reply me about it .I am waiting for your reply .And can we adjust the trigger pull up to 2.5 or 3 pounds .

Shoot66 · March 1, 2013, 04:57 AM

5 mm for K100, 3-4 mm for X-Calibur.

atblis · March 3, 2013, 09:37 AM

Put up a youtube video showing the trigger reset. I think they may have even improved the trigger on the newer versions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvHPhyJOq5Y

Also note the the safe position is not marked in red for the STI version (don't know about the current Century version). Also some pics just to show the basic construction of the pistol. Much of it is confidence inspiring tidily milled steel. The polymer grip has a quality feel to it in my opinion.

ifit · March 5, 2013, 01:10 AM

atblis thanks for sharin, and judging by the video on the trigger just by visual looks to be the same as my century arms imported version. like mm6 mentioned the only gripe is the new marking when safety is on it indicates (red) should be changed to white, or in your case the gp6 light blue. other than that i also think its an awesome pistol for the price.

Shoot66 · March 6, 2013, 09:41 AM

I remember the constructor/owner of Grand Power Co. saying they were using both red and blue colour markers under the safety lever. He also said it can be easily replaced if one wished so. If the red colour bothers you, why don´t you contact the company? They listen and are known for an excellent customer service.

Bader8312 · March 8, 2013, 01:22 PM

Dears any one can told me how many rounds continues fire in K100 and there is no problem

ifit · March 8, 2013, 04:51 PM

Dears Bader8312, theres hords of info regarding this pistol on the net. but if you need some assistance i dont mind helping, heres a video of the gp relaiabiity test shooting 1250 rounds in 15 minutes, using british military 9mm L7A1 Hirtenburger +p+ ammo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxHIKfyFuDU

Bader8312 · March 9, 2013, 10:46 AM

Thanks for your reply .After how many rounds we fire we change its recoil spring and is its all parts are rust proof (mean no rust there on the surface like glock ). And what its average group on target at 25 yards and whats its velocity at 25 yards with 115 gr bullet .Please inform me about it .

Fixed that for you. Glocks don't have rust problems. They tend to explode, but not rust.

ifit · March 9, 2013, 09:06 PM

why worry about rust? if it rusts....oh well that the owner decides if they want to maintain their firearm or not..its up to you. my group size on post #38, velocity im not even gonna bother on velocity, what matters to me more is my poa/impact. YMMV

Shoot66 · March 10, 2013, 07:39 PM

Recoil spring replacement: depends on the ammo used, however, suggested somewhere after 5 000.

@25 meters - from 2 inches up. I tested 8-9 different brands about 5-6 years ago (K100 Mk 6). Averaged 5-6 inches in my hands. I remember that Winchester White Box FMJ and Geco were the best in my test.

Shoot66 · March 10, 2013, 07:43 PM

ifit,
the point of impact is set 10 cm i.e. 4 inches above the POA at 25 meters by the manufacturer. It can be changed to the POA by replacing the FS. GrandPower offers 3 sizes, if my memory serves me well.

Bader8312 · March 15, 2013, 04:25 AM

Can we ask that grand power k 100 in the future become one of the best pistol in the world than glock ,cz ,and some other pistols .

Bader8312 · March 15, 2013, 04:29 AM

Second can Grand Power defeat glock , if it possible why .And how many security companies and forces use this Pistol as their service Pistol .

Bader8312 · May 15, 2013, 12:38 PM

Dear Can grand power k 100 defeat glock 17 in tourcher test

Bader8312 · May 15, 2013, 12:41 PM

Are both grand power k 100 and glock 17 are equal in tests

Bader8312 · May 16, 2013, 01:30 PM

hello can any one told me about it please

mavracer · May 16, 2013, 04:37 PM

The whole torture test is moot point, I've seen tests where a Glock lasts 100,000 rounds and I've seen several that wouldn't make 10,000 without choking. Also with the current price of ammo if you can afford enough ammo to wear either one out, surely you can afford a replacement.

Bader8312 · May 17, 2013, 02:19 PM

Thanks can any one in USA who fire much more rounds in Grand Power .And told me how many parts of it break in test fire .
