I appreciate you pointing out the fact that a double stack magazine makes an inverted magwell.

[@GBGuns]

Sometimes common sense is uncommon

[@rod675]

Grand Power certainly has a unique design. Love this size. Can't wait to see What's For Dinner.

@@GBGuns wow! Very appealing MSRP.

[@backwoodsmaineiac8897]

Anytime graham posts an article, the tabletop and the range day videos are in them long before they post to YT.

[@TheSchwartzzz]

Thumbs up simply because you know your stuff. Great table top thank you!

[@GBGuns]

Thank you

[@CampDavid54]

I enjoyed your live chat the other day, like to see more of them. Thanks and regards from New Washington

[@GBGuns]

We plan on trying to make it a regular Saturday Night thing

[@dwightdhansen]

I just picked up a Q1 from Global Ordnance. You are NOT kidding about the trigger 👍

[@3wheelmannc860]

I would really like to see that flat trigger in the hammer version. That would be my preference to carry, but both look very nice.

[@GBGuns]

The problem with flat triggers and DA/SA is they end up at wierd angles. Either too far forward for DA or to far back for SA

[@newpeupyoass]

The Mauser M2 (made by Sig) is the one other striker fired pistol with a rotating barrel that I know of. It's a weird DAO compact pistol in .40.

[@GBGuns]

Beretta has one too (PX4) and Stoeger had a clone of that. The Grabd Power system is a bit different than those.

[@newpeupyoass]

@@GBGuns the PX4 and Cougar are DA/SA hammer guns.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, I was saying the Grand Power action is slightly different

[@ceemichael1]

They sure do make some good looking weapons.

[@BAdventures]

Very nice, look forward to the hands on review 👍

[@joshuabruce9920]

We ask for the specs on KZbin bc we don't want to leave the video and sometimes it's not a quick search and you find everything your looking for sometimes it takes a few min of going through different for sale listings bc for some reason the weight is missing or handguard length or something important. It's nice to get all that info in 1 place. Watch a review and get action type, barrel length, OAL, width, weight, capacity, and see it shoot. Or at least those are the things I hope to see.

[@GBGuns]

See pinned comment.

[@faustoramos5865]

Graham : Have you seen the new line of Grand Power guns ? Awesome , beautiful, new serrations and looks. Even optics ready, so them in their web. What a dream…do you think will take years to get to USA?

[@GBGuns]

I've seen them and shot them when we visited Grand Power last May. We have brief videos on them, but are awaiting release in the US to publish those videos. From what I understand importation is in the works. I don't know when the ATF will get around to blessing off on them.

[@frankbrowning328]

Looks like a very nice carry gun. Maybe right in between a Glock 26 and a Glock 19 in size?

[@ggrandcz]

Height is exactly like Glock 19 but it holds only 12 rounds. It is closer to Glock 19 in size overall than to Glock 26.

[@FireEyeEian]

Personally I prefer da/sa hammer fired guns

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

Mud. Snow. Ice.

[@GBGuns]

I've heard that logic and it makes sense, but I've run DA/SA guns in the dusty desert at Front Sight and in snow and sleet at Thunder Ranch and not had an issue

[@rickalexander2801]

Nice. I was wondering how it compared to the P11 Mk12 which is one of my faves. Let us know how it shoots.

[@geoffslark1193]

Will the 15 round magazine's fit from the K100

[@GBGuns]

Yes

[@nicopolis7377]

They need to manufacture this pistol with a manual safety on the slide . I find striker fired pistols are less safe .

[@whatsup24_7]

Then you need to train more and get your confidence up. I've been carrying striker fired firearms with no manual safety every day for over 20 years and never had any issues whatsoever. If you're carrying in a good holster that covers the trigger it cannot fire.

[@astroalex19]

Hi! I own a brand new Grand Power K100 X-Trim. When you reassemble the pistol it seems that you do not push down the side locks, Glock style, that this pistol features...

[@GBGuns]

You don't have to, but I have a couple Grand Powers with which it seems to help

[@astroalex19]

@@GBGuns on January 13th I broke my right shoulder. Now after the surgery, it's even more difficult for me to put this gun back together. Beautiful pistol indeed, but a bit too difficult to reassemble,,,,, too difficult especially if you don't have three hands... ciao!

[@taracarrow9977]

Is that the spring we hear that is squeaking? Does that go away?

[@CaveWyatt]

Is there something about the rotating barrel that makes the overly thick slide necessary? It would be nice if these could be slimmed down a little. I see the slide comes in at about 1.42”, which seems similar to the used Beretta PX4 I bought last year out of curiosity. Also, love the idea of the DA/SA 9mm and .380 but the site does not tell us if they have a decocker, a necessity if I’m going to buy one. I’ve still never seen one in person.

[@GBGuns]

Global Ordnance stopped ordering the decockers, but is co sidering bringing in more, they just need to hear from folks that they want them

[@whatsup24_7]

@Jake Grand Power specs say this is 1.34 wide at the widest part.

[@andrewbrumagen3479]

My girlfriend is right handed I am a lefty so we can use that and I love everything is ambi like the slide release is both sides but I have larger hands than you so I would rather have the 15 rounds one or a P1 just look up your mini series.

[@whatsup24_7]

How do you two both carry it at the same time?

[@whatsup24_7]

The Q1 is the same as this but has a little bit longer grip and comes with three 15 round mags.

[@backwoodsmaineiac8897]

God those mags look pretty similar to the taurus g2c mags.

[@jimrosentreter3408]

Graham, does this gun get easier to reassemble over time? I think it took me over an hour to get the slide back one.

[@jimrosentreter3408]

On I meant.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, it's all technique and practice. That's what's scared lesser folks away from GP.

[@selfreliance1014]

I want it!! Can you tell me if the Rusting issues are true. Tennessee IWB carry issues.

[@GBGuns]

What rusting issues?

[@selfreliance1014]

I’ve heard other people complain they will rust if you sweat on them. Hope that’s not true.

[@GBGuns]

I've been carrying Grand Power pistols for years, the only time I had rust issues was when I left one in a dank trunk for too long. Like all guns you've got to clean them from time to time.

[@selfreliance1014]

@@GBGuns Good to hear! This is a must grab then. I always like to hear from someone who actually uses and carries one instead of hearsay. Thanks for taking the time to clarify!

[@bernardcaillouet5565]

Do you know if the CZ 75 night sight will work on this gun?

[@GBGuns]

For the front sight, and you may need to massage the sight to accept the cross pin.

[@whatsup24_7]

@@GBGuns hahaha massage it

[@Talley212]

What’s the trigger weight for the q1s with this flat trigger?

[@benignoalvarez9398]

Never heard of it 🤨!!!

[@GBGuns]

Welcome to the channel! We cover a lot of stuff you won't see many other places, or st least not for some time.

[@AK-sn4md]

is this the same barrel length as the Q1 ?

[@ggrandcz]

Yes.

[@kalliste23]

LOL. The manual has a GB translation. That's somewhat pointless. The reason to avoid putting your finger on the front of the trigger guard is because you'll end up pulling the gun to the side.

[@erockoutdoors633]

👍 🇺🇲

[@miophx8283]

Too bad Global Ordnance doesn't have any more decocker models. They told me that's based on lack of demand, which I don't buy. No pun intended.

[@GBGuns]

Yes I've talked to them about that. We all live in our own realities, but I've had dozens of comments wanting a decocker model GP, I guess the problem is too many people saying they want it, not enough committing to buy.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

I I’m sorry Graham but this will likely be my final post here. I was recently arrested and booked for a firearms violation which involved my pointing at someone whom I assumed was a threat ( she had followed me and kept on chasing me while I was attempting erratic moves to throw her off). Anyways I drew a gun and ended up arrested and nearly spent the night at the county jail. Thankfully a no priors in 40 years lead to a magistrate taking pity on me and releasing me on a 50k bond ( I only had to post 2500). Im likely to loose my permit and my right to carry a gun ( which if it keeps me out of prison is best for all). I enjoyed the videos and the opinions but no more. I see no point in torturing myself with things I will never own again. Farewell all

@@GBGuns lmao he pointed a gun at a unarmed woman. Probably better off that he doesn't have guns.😬

[@leoguy1609]

Shouldn't allow the slide to slam on a empty chamber you risk damaging the extractor.

[@GBGuns]

I've heard that lore for more that a decade and yet after doing it thousands of times have yet to damage an extractor.

[@ggrandcz]

Absolute nonsense. You cannot damage extractor this way. Not slamming on empty chamber is connected to delicant trigger mechanism of highly tuned/race guns.
