K100 - range report #2
- Thread starter omen
- Start date
Wow, I just took a good look at the gun and I must say I'm sooo impressed with the finish, BUT what impresses me even more is Yaro actually coming in here in person and trying to resolve problems..this in my book deserves TOP marks.
K100 is my next purchase (within the next 30 days
)
Keep it up Yaro, it's great to see this level of caring from a manufacturer.

I like the black boring finish....
.... it gives me more options
the nickel plated finish does look way nicer though...
I'm glad there was only one back when I bought mine~!
I just might have to buy a second...
as the service is great - both the distributor and designer are on this site to talk with us ...
just need some tritium sights for it now and all the models will be covered...
not to mention a 'sure-fire' like sight for it....
HINT HINT>>>!!!

Field stripping is very easy -- but rather unconventional, it will take a bit of practice to get things lined up in the right manner. It is easier to do than to explain really.
Field strip the pistol and then continue...
Detail stripping is not too hard but it is likewise setup in a different fasion from any other pistol that I know. Seriously... this is a 'new-tech' pistol it is full of inovative surprises...
First ....
You remove a pin (solid-not a flimsy roll/spring pin) from the rear of the grip area and then one from the mid point of the frame, it is the pin that the slide release pivots on.. which is why it is silver and not blackend as the slide catch. The slide catch by the way is one single piece which is way neat... no need to fit / shim two mating parts.
Don't remove the trigger pivot pin initially... leave it in place so you can see how things come apart... next you remove the left and right safety. Place them 'in-between' the usual settings and then just pry them out... on a dirty gun this can take some force but keep wiggling and things will come apart.
You should be able to entirely remove the rail insert that the slide rides on. With this you will also remove the guide rod (full-length polymer) and the fishing hook looking spring that operates the slide catch.
The rest should be really easy to figure out from here but for those without one I'll continue this in another post... I feel a fying pan to the head coming on....
A few tips -
Field stripping...
tip one - the barrel must be all the way forward in the slide with the 'flats' on the barrel and slide face to face.... probably obvious to everyone but me :mrgreen:
Field stripping...
tip two - if you pull lightly on the the trigger guard you can get it in the take down position but it will spring back to the closed position if you let go of it..... if you pull like a gorilla on the trigger guard it will stay put in the 'open' position making everything so so much easier :lol: you won't break it as it has a separate pin and pivot point on the frame (it is a separate piece)
tip three - if you are shooting really dirty SMG ammo through it you'll get to about 500rds before it will start to gum up. Your first indication will be a 'click' standard SOP on a D/A - S/A is to pull the trigger again... this time you will get a 'bang' the disconnector on this pistol is very well done. The first pull is actually putting the slide into battery and the second is firing the round.
The disconnector is a firing pin stop not a trigger / hammer stop... this means if the slide is not fully closed the hammer still falls but hits the firing pin... which is locked ... and in turn this 'drives' the slide closed. The second pull will then allow the hammer to strike the firing pin and all is well... consider it a reminder to clean your freakin gun :!: :wink: This is a very nice dependability feature that the military / police / contractor sector will greatly appreciate.
Sorry for any ommisions / inclarities and plain old mistakes that I may have made... it is late, the beer is drank and the wife is threatening me with a frying pan again.... :shock:
Thamok, good job!

Just got back from the range with mine. Pretty chilly out with a biting wind.
First, I got the tactical model with the "blued" slide. It is actually a deep black. The laser engraving contrasts very nicely, as does the bright, polished barrel. The machining on the slide and barrel are top notch. There were some minor parting lines on the frame that were easily removed with a sharp exacto knife.
The sights are solid, but I will be changing out the front one for a fibre optic when they are available.
The metal safeties and slide stops are dead flat and can be a bit difficult to manipulate. These would benefit from either a little more meat, or being bent out about 10 degrees. As they sit they are definately snag resistant. The ambi mag release works well, and it is actually easier for me to use my trigger finger to drop the mags.
I didn't get a chance to run too many rounds through it. Too damn cold out. The polymer frame and trigger were easier on the hands than metal though!
I fed it about 40-50 rounds each of 125gr leadRN, 124gr Frontier plated and 147gr home cast lead light target loads. It functioned flawlessly with all of them. I even tried 20 rounds of 124gr Gold Dot hollow points for kicks. The 147gr loads were a joy to shoot, and the gun had virtually no muzzle flip, it just pushed straight back.
Point of impact was to the left with all four types of ammo, which was easily corrected by drifting the sights a little.
The single action trigger pull is very crisp and smooth, with a VERY short reset. About 4mm. The DA pull is not to long, a little heavy, but more importantly, smooth.
The barrel lock up is rock solid, And the rotating barrel action is just plain neat. The locking lugs on the barrel and slide are massive. The case is almost fully supported.
Two other shooters tried it, and both are considering adding one to their collection. This gun is a bargain. While I don't think it will quite replace my beloved G-19's, It is definately going to see more range time than my Hi-Power or Firestar.
Congratulations Yaro, you have created a very nice pistol.
