I've had my K100 patrol since 2005. It was one of the first batch to enter Canada. Very nice gun. I can only describe the recoil impulse as "different". Soft and unlike any other 9mm I have. This is probably due to the rotating barrel lock up. The newer offerings are even better, more refined.

I have about 1500 rounds through a K22 X-Trim. Absolutely love it. Fits my hand extremely well, fantastic trigger, very accurate with fantastic sights. I must say that my Buckmark Camper and my Ruger Mark IV target will cycle more reliably on the cheaper ammo and are easier to shoot more accurately but they are pretty much dedicated target style pistols. It is the best "service style" or "duty style" 22 pistol that I have used. I would buy anything Grand Power again for sure. I may end up with the X-Calibur some day.
I had one, got it when Dlask was selling them off for Norinco prices a couple years ago, so I had to try it out. I was eyeing them for years actually but when I got it failed to impress me. Slide finish seemed spotty and disassembly ( it was a Mark 12) was a stupid for a modern handgun. they also went away with the slide taper cuts by the muzzle when they cam out with a .40 and IMO that kinda ruined the look.
For 9mm, I've also got CZ SPO1 Shadow, Glock G17, G17L and G34.
Grand Power however is my favorite semi-auto for range plinking and competing in IPSC. I find their rotating barrel design give very soft recoil and great accuracy.
Canuck223 took over as the Canadian distributor this year and has done a great job bringing in parts and mags that was the common complaint last year.

Another GP addict here. After trying one thanks to Canuck223 I fell in love with it. The grip and way it drives fits me perfect. I now have four and am waiting on the transfer for a fifth. You can't go wrong and since they have four backstraps chances are they will fit you nicely.

Just ordered my first gp two days ago, a k100 w / decocker. Can't wait to take it for a spin. Was wondering about the grips on your collection. Are they Traction Grips? I have a new Talon grip on my tp9sa and it's fantastic. Talon doesn't make them for gp pistols though.
Yes they are all traction grips. I found combined with some grip cream I like them much better than skateboard tape.
Thanks for the info. Do traction grips need to be heated like the talons do?
Yes. I carefully use a heat gun instead of a hair dryer. That's another thing I like about them. They stay on. I'm always changing grip tape but never had to change out a traction grip yet.
