Wonderfully Different Grand Power P1

[@davidmiller8940]

As a first-time gun buyer, the only benefit of waiting 250+ days for my Illinois FOID card was that it gave me plenty of time to watch gun reviews on You Tube. After watching way too many videos on 9 mm semi-autos, I stumbled upon Grand Power and your channel. Love the gun and really like your video style. Ordering the P1 Ultra this week and can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work!

[@GBGuns]

You made a wise choice. The Grand Power pistols are incredible guns

[@originaltastecocacola7936]

How does it treat you?

[@Gabriankle]

Seriously, how does it treat you?

[@Schrodingers_kid]

Dude, we aren't joking, how is it treating you?

[@DavidGilbreath]

Just purchased the P1 for $341.99 and an extra 15 round mag ($23.99) from Global Ordnance. Found a coupon for free shipping as well. Three of my handgun acquisitions were heavily influenced by you, Graham ( Girsan MC14G84, SAR P8S and the Grand Power P1. Compares very favorably with my PX4 Storm Compact carry. The P1's reset is definitely faster than the PX4 Compact carry. Both eat everything.

[@tomcoleman1962]

I really enjoy shooting my P1. I HATE to field strip it! It's a big pain in the rear. Thank you for your video on the GP/P1. It helped me get it back together.

[@That1_CopDude]

How has this not blown up with exposure in the USA? Dude this thing is one of the most innovative and futuristic type of firearm that I have ever seen!

[@blackbart8451]

Grand Power is the bomb IMO! Fit, feel, function, accuracy. All hits my target! The only other one that for me is the same is my Walthers. I am even a huge Smith & Wesson guy too, shoot them well also, but my confidence is with my Grand power and a Walther when feeling my round will go where I want it every time.

Thanks to you Graham I purchased one and so glad I did one of the best guns I own.

[@mkshffr4936]

Looks like a really neat action. Something like that in a compact/subcompact .32 or .380 would quite nice.

[@GBGuns]

Unfortunately neither of those calibers appear to have the energy to make this action work. Grand Power's .380s are blowback.

Just got a P11. Didn't come with a decocker, but it came with 3 magazines so, I guess it's a give & take. Thanks for shining the light on these, they've extremely high-quality, and looks like they've mostly avoided the crazy price gouging. Now it's time to get a holster 😬

[@GBGuns]

Congrats! Yes not all of the Grand Powers are decocker models and for some reason they're harder to find.

[@wesleycampbell8193]

Good shooting!

[@GBGuns]

Have you ever noticed how some pistol models just become an extension of your mind? The Grand Power line is that way for me. I shoot all of them very well with less effort.

I love it. You get so proud and happy when the Grand Power & family comes out to play! Fantastic and underrated series, for sure. How does Teya like them?

[@GBGuns]

I just replaced my carry gun, the Grand Power K100 with the K100 Decocker model so we'll see soon as that gun will get a full run through before it goes in the holster. I love my Grand Powers as you know, but I only carry what I've tested and shot extensively.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

Graham Baates Yes Sir, I do know, and I only carry something I have thoroughly tested myself! If you ever, god forbid, had to use your handgun, you need to trust that *you* know everything about what you are carrying! I’m doing my 500 round warm up with my Rex Delta at the moment (which I am *loving* so far) before I even holster it up!

[@msfreeman1567]

I've come to know them and appreciate them through Graham. Soon I too will have A Grand Power EDC of my own.

[@bfish9700]

I have the excalibur, love it. LOVE the ambi slide release. With the CZ sp01, I have to either break grip or use support hand thumb to release the slide. On the xcal, right index finger to drop the slide. My only issues with getting a p1 are sights and holsters. You can get just about any sights out there and every holster comes in g19. Grand power, not so much.

I am proud Slovak proudly shooting this slovak gun too :)

[@edstringer1138]

I would have bought one years ago if they had aftermarket sights

[@retthok]

My P11 Mk12 chokes with Sellier & Bellot but runs perfect with Speer Lawman and Gold Dot. Must be the S&B ammo is slightly out of spec. However, my Walthers will run S&B no problem.

[@GBGuns]

Interesting. What grain? Grand Powers are very tightly built, not much room for error on the chamber.

[@retthok]

@@GBGuns S&B 115gr. Speer 115 and 124 gr no problem. It appears that the S&B round is fatter than others. Case and bullet. If you get your hands on some you'll see a high gloss finish. Maybe they are clear coated.

[@501dennis]

Does the grand power P1 offer a 10 round magazine for state magazine restrictions?

[@anthonyperkins6364]

Hope your mini series includes the CP380 ! It contains the recoil enough, GP should make a 9MM fixed barrel version...... it would probably be a very accurate shooter. Anthony 🇺🇸😃

[@GBGuns]

The love the CP380 too, but it's not quite different enough for this series.

[@PureCountryof91]

The grand power rotary barrel pistols are actually notoriously accurate. And there is a competition version too

[@santinowilliams693]

Nice 👍

[@AllPurposeBen]

I've had a really hard time finding a GPP1D, ended up having to buy a non-decocker model. Is it possible to add the decocking function with factory parts? I've seen reference to adding it to some CZ and Beretta guns that didn't originally have it.

[@GBGuns]

I imagine it is, but you'd have to find the parts.

[@CzechoslovakGunStories]

I had a bad luck with mine, which is a pity, I was looking for P11 - a 9mm subcompact with a hammer and decocker is surely not all that common these days.... as if striker completely took over :)

[@GBGuns]

I've got a P11 too, great little gun. What was wrong with your P1?

[@CzechoslovakGunStories]

@@GBGuns I had a K100 actually and there was a faulty barrel causing the gun to go kaboom... :/ no injury but the bad experience sort of prevents me from buying another GP.

[@CzechoslovakGunStories]

@@adrianotero7963 Yes that is exactly the reason why I have trust issues with them. In the US there was a recall, in the Czech Rep - nothing - radio silence... couple of us had the kaboom, and despite that, no one even contacted us telling us - listen you may have the problem, send the gun back and we will test it. I even contacted them and asked them approx. 3 months before the kaboom happened and they said my gun is OK and does not belong to the batch of wrong ones. Had a friend at the range that day. If it exploded in his hands and hurt him - imagine the remorse. :)

[@adrianotero7963]

@@CzechoslovakGunStories that sucks.....I have the letter somewhere .....was not a lot of guns....300 or so....we think of jamming problems or feeding problems like the Remington R-51.....but never an exploding gun.....the recall in the US happened because most people here would sue their pants off.....that's why.

A K100 Decocker model. I prefer double action for a first shot and it's safer than a safety

[@boog3690]

@@GBGuns The decocker K100...are they imported? I didn't see one at Global Ordinance. I seen in one of the videos that's what you were carrying, just wanted to see if you still were. I know this is probably sacrilege but can the slide be cut for an optic or would the slide shape or mechanics prohibit that? I'm getting to the point of age where my close up vision is becoming a real issue and I'm going with optics on all my handguns now. PS...I'm still good point shooting out to 15 yards, still hand size A zone capable at my advanced age. Still A zone capable at up to 50 feet moving and shooting. However much easier with optics. Im Still one of the best in my agency even though I am officially the oldest. My duty carry is Glock19 G4 with night sights. All my personal pistols have Optics though.

Does the rotating barrel make reacquiring the sight picture more difficult than a standard Browning style? Some video I just saw suggested that the Beretta PX4 wobbles after recoil.

[@JohnScheppler]

No its actually easier as the barrel rotation is inside the slide and makes it smoother to shot. The Grand Power is a better design and action than the Beretta Storm.

[@WvMnts]

Interesting Pistol

[@myvenusinuranus]

I've shot the K100 before. the safety is limp and wimpy......it doesn't click on and off with authority. it's easily wiped or brushed off therefore not good for a carry gun also having to decock the hammer manually by hand is less than ideal......making it a two handed affair when holstering the gun. a decocker version wasn't available at the time the firing pin is held in place with a roll pin which gets peened if dry fired. it's an easy fix but a bad design the mag release is also really wimpy feeling. the gun shoots great and super smooth but all the controls I don't like it never got off in Canada even though they tried several times. customer support and parts were non existent and magazines were not available anywhere many people bought them here and got so frustrated by the lack of parts and service that they gave up and sold them. I don't think Grand Power will ever get their act together. still a fun gun to shoot at the range if you don't mind all the quirks. smoothest trigger of any gun I ever shot stay away from the .22lr models. they don't work at all
