Grand Power Pistols Coming Soon - Canadian Distribution

[Canuck223]

With your opinion, X-Calibur would be one of the best one for production?

Hard call to make, because in the case of the X-Caliber I have not tried one. I really like the basic K100 MK6. If the X-Caliber wasn't coming to Canada, I would probably have upgraded to the new Mk7 frame only because I think the option of a slightly more filling grip might benefit me.

I am moving to the X-Caliber just because I want to take advantage of the longer barrel and sight radius. The lighter trigger is also a huge perk.

I always suggest when possible, try before you buy. If at all possible, compare similar models. When you look in the EE, you'll find a lot of "slightly used" guns that just didn't cut the mustard when the owners hit the range.

I use the Ghost but the Bladetech DOH is also a good fit with most people.

Where did u buy ur rig?

[Canuck223]

The board has a lot of supporting dealers carrying holsters, etc.

I got my Ghost Holster from Double Tap Sports. My belt is a Shooters Gear. The owner of Shooters Gear is a member of my old club and one of his distributors is an old friend.

Since this photograph was released, Jaro has designed a better contoured safety with wider pedals.

Who's got two thumbs and just did a video chat to help install a set of these bad boys?

Can u tell me about the recoil on the GP6? Do you feel the gun wanna twist? Etc.......

Thx

[Canuck223]

More like wanna limbo. The recoil is more a gentle shove straight back than a snap up and back.

Has the gun been very reliable?

Has the gun been very reliable?

Mine has been like a Timex watch. Almost boring, in that it just goes bang every time.

The closest thing to a malfunction I've had with the older MK6 guns was operator induced.

I forgot the lock on my holster, and when I pulled out the gun, I didn't realize I'd popped the trigger guard down.
The first round was fine, but the slide locked back. My Tap-Rack-Bang to clear the malfunction turned into
Tap-Rack-Slingshot..................holycrapIjustcatapulted myfriggenslide!!!!!!!!!!!

On a positive note, I can tell you with full faith that the tenifer finish holds up well to abrasion. A 15 foot slide on bare concrete, and not a scratch.

Now to be fair, I know some of the STI guns had problems with hammers breaking.
Jaroslav mentioned early on in a discussion about manufacturing techniques that they machined the hammers instead of MIM because MIM'd hammers didn't have the lifespan he wanted. I wonder if the different hammer STI spec'd might have been a MIM part.
