Who do they ship with- Canada Post?
Yep....that's who they used the last time I bought from them.
Jesus with the amount of #####ing about a safety in this thread, you'd think that CZ was a hated and unheard of brand that will never see the light of day in competition or Canada.
That being said, I used to be a CZ guy. I cannot praise how much I consider these GP's an upgrade over CZ in almost every way.
I have a custom leather holster for a CZ p07 duty that fits my k100 like a glove. 95% fit. I use it routinely without issue, although I really wish there were more typical holster options for the GP that aren't directly competition related. I still love my leather.

Falco Holsters is a SK based company that make leather holsters for every GP model. (If it's not in the inventory, they are 15 minutes down the road from the factory)
I have one of their IWB holsters that's tuckable. Very nice quality. Reminds me of Galco back in the day.
Website? Ships to Canada?
Just found this YouTube video showing a "Factory Strip and Re-build" of an X-Calibur. Think it should be pretty much the same for all Mk12 center fire handguns. It's a little quick at times, and looks like there's a few extra pins laying on the table, but it's the first comprehensive tear-down video I have found so far.
The guy doing the tear down is one of the top gunsmiths at GP. It's done at the factory.
The extra pins you see are actually the assembly or slave pins used when installing the trigger or the sear.
If you have a regular K100, the sear location is different, but the fundamentals are the same.
I think I'm going to try one of these out.
Are there any significant dimensional differences between the k100 and the k100 X-trim? I assume to go with the k100 model since they don't list a specific x-trim but just want to double check.

Just got mine a couple days ago. Wow, for the price what a steal. Yes compares with CZ or I think better. Grip fits perfect, quality pistol and the trigger is excellent. I'm looking forward to taking this one shooting. I still like my PPQ better but this may have just gone to my second favourite even over my M&P9 which was holding second spot. Have to see how it shoots.
The only one gripe so far, is take down/ reassembly is a pain. Take down not so much. Not as bad as putting your Ruger MKIII pistols back together but still a pain. Still not sure how exactly I got it to work. No doubt it will take practice. Not a fan of the reassembly. But... small complaint considering everything else. Especially for $370 to my door. I consider that a steal. Should have ordered another. Pleasantly surprised.

Once you figure out the barrel rotation on the reassembly it gets better..... The first time I tried the STI GP6 version I just couldn't miss right off the bat and the recoil was noticeably different in a nice way compared to most other 9mm semi's. It's worth it just to try the rotating barrel design.
Great guns, Great Price!
The rotating barrel design was actually what convinced me to go for one. That and it's used as a police/military pistol. Positive reviews etc made the risk pretty minimal with that price.
On paper I really liked the PX4 storm with the rotating barrel. But the two I have tried had bad triggers, weird balance, and jammed. The reviews the GP K100 have been very good. I always liked the theory but the PX4 didn't cut it. When I saw this one I figured I had to give one a try. Again a smile on my face when I opened the box and held it, then another when I dry fired the pistol. One of those firearm purchases where you get a lot more than you even hoped for. I didn't think I'd like this pistol as much as I do, just out of the box and after taking it apart to oil it etc. So far looks like a real winner.
I should add that the only other possible negative so far is the safety on the pistol. Meh. It works. Not a huge fan especially with the double single action. Doesn't need one in my opinion. Probably a throwback to 1911 shooters. My S&W M&P22 has one as well. No big deal.
Considering reassembly and the safety are the only two possible things that I'm not crazy about... That's amazing. The tenifer finish looks like my PPQ and my M&P9. No tool marks etc. In fact the interior is finished a heck of a lot nicer than my Stainless CZ75. Really looks and handles like a quality pistol.
What ammo have you guys/gals found to be the most accurate with your GP K100?

With the Mk12 models, try to remember it this way....
Left hand, flip the bird.
Right hand, dat azz...
With your left hand, stick your middle finger into the trigger guard at the front, thumb on the takedown lever on top, index finger on the takedown lever on the bottom (away from you).
(ie, flip it the bird)
With your right hand, put your thumb on the rear cocking serration and your index finger on the other side so your hand is over the top rear of the slide, pinching the serrations.
(ie, dat azz.)
Anchor the butt of the gun into your gut, then pull the takedown levers down while pulling the slide fully to the rear and up at the end of travel.
To reassemble, make sure the barrel is fully forward. It helps if you have the slide upside down or at least rotated over 45 degrees.
Use the same grip as before, and pull the takedown lever down. Ease the recoil spring in and draw the slide back fully and press down.

I got one last year and I also found reassembly to be somewhat interesting. However, practice makes perfect. On another note, I am really envious of those who just got one...let's just say that they were available for quite a bit more last year...I should have "spite" bought one now to get back at myself for paying what I did!
However, they are indeed really nice guns with a great trigger, and with controls that were correctly applied for those 10% or so of us with the spectral bent whom God perfected relative to the rest of the proletariat.

Well just picked up my 'Mk 7 Basic' this afternoon from the post office. ACTUALLY - I think I snagged the deal of the decade.
When I bought it online, it processed fine and right after showed as 'SOLD OUT' on the website. Dlask Arms called me and said 'Sorry - we made a mistake and the Basic's are sold out.. would you accept an X-Trim for the same price?' Uh YAH!!!!
So I got a Mk 7 X-trim in 9mm shipped to my door for $343 all in! WOW! I challenge anyone to get a better deal on a better pistol than I just scored! The trigger is excellent, action is smooth like it's on ball bearings. Sights are perfect, controls are perfect and fits awesome in my hand. It's much nicer than I even expected! Better trigger than any other polymer framed pistol I've ever held.
For anyone who WAS on the fence - you won't be disappointed!

Maybe GP has already done it.... but why not just shoot a clip demonstrating your technique?
Flip the bird I get but Dat Azz is a new term for me.... maybe Dirt McGirt can clear it up....
The video will be available shortly.
