Anyone own or heard anything on the Grand Power K100 9mm
- Thread starter capitano
- Start date
You might have to search back a few years (change your search settings)but there was a lot of discussion when they first came out and there was even feedback directly from the owner of Grand Power if I remember correctly..
Mostly positive comments.
STI now sells these guns re branded in North America.
$400-$500 would be a fair price for a used Grand Power.

My personal opinions...
Pros
-trigger is sweet
-recoils only a little more than a .22
-comfortable grip for me
-as a result of above points, VERY easy to shoot
-not many people have them around these parts
Cons
-mag release is stiff, I heard this is standard and not easy to fix, but not 100% on this. I mean super stiff. I mean so stiff this is the only reason I didn't buy one despite how easy it is to shoot
-not many people have them around these parts
-finding parts or accessories may be a challenge

I have the target version. Great gun, reliable, accurate and a pleasure to shoot. Two minor problems with it: putting it back together after cleaning it is not as easy as most tilt-barrel autos, but you get the hang of it a after awhile. Mine has the large mag release button and the spring is not stiff at all; result is dropped mags on occasion while shooting, not that good for IPSC events when that happens. The non-target version does not have this irritant. Over all, a nice 9mm.
It is easy to fix. I mean super easy. I mean so easy all you have to do is sand the front of the mag base where it pushes against the frame. It was so easy even I could do it.
Make sure to point the muzzle down while you're moving the slide up to meet up with the frame. Works every time.

I like my GP K100 target model. It is the earlier version, bought from Epps about the time Marstar was getting out of selling them. No problems with the mag release on mine, the safety pushes off pretty easily but not a problem for range work. I Like the fibre optic front sight which I think was only standard on the target model. I think the target model also had a lighter trigger. In theory, anyway, the rotating barrel lockup should provide better accuracy. You can't move the muzzle end around with your finger like I could on my CZ75.
