Grand Power X-Calibur Photos

Have field stripped and cleaned it.
Really awkward to strip and reassemble (just used to 1911s) but I imagine I'll get the hang of it eventually.

This video is for the K100 but it applies to the X-calibur as well. About the hardest thing is to remember to push the barrel forward in the slide on re-assembly.

Thanks, this may be helpful to other members. I did view a similar video to help me out. The user manual leaves a lot to be desired.

The same can be said for the K22 X-Trim

we, humans, are creatures of habits and tend to dislike something just because it is something we are not used to.
Once you learn to dis/assemble k100 you will never want to go back to "slide stop removal" method.

I agree but I also look forward to the next generation "glock" type release tabs instead of the current trigger guard catch.

The grand power takedown/assembly is quite different then most SA pistols today because of the barrel rotation.

Any idea about price (range)??

I love the vented slide and fluted barrel!

Just got back from the range with the X-Calibur and thought I'd share my observations.

The Good
I really like the look and feel of the gun. It rests naturally in your hand.
All the shots grouped nicely together -- and I'm still learning to shoot and am not the best.
Really fun gun to shoot but did notice the recoil was a bit more than with a heavier 1911-style pistol.
Only got about 50 shots through it due to time constraints but really liked how it worked and didn't want to stop.
Magazines fit well and release without a hitch. I think I'll have to get some more, though.

The Bad
Had the last round from the mag hang up halfway into the chamber. I pushed the round into the chamber and all was well.
This is probably my fault in not lubing the cylinder enough and the gun is barely broken in.
Still -- for this price I would expect flawless performance from the start. Never had this issue with any other gun.

The Ugly
Trying to load 10 rounds into the magazine is a real challenge. The magazines could have been pinned better.
I got confused by the safety -- normally a red dot or mark indicates the gun is active -- here the red dot indicates it is safe!
