Ah, I'm a dealer with Global Ordnance and I haven't been paying attention, apparently missed the pistol I wanted. For those of you who haven't handled a GP pistol your missing out. I have some pistols that costs 4-5x as much and the trigger in a GP is better than 90% of them. I ordered a GP X-Calibur for a client "he said surprise me, pick what you think I should by. Meanwhile, he ordered a SIG 10mm Hunter Elite, both pistols arrived at the same time for transfer. He was more than pissed to realize a $750 pistol which had a DA/SA trigger had a better SA trigger than his SA 10mm pistol. Also, he spent like $1800 on that darn gun, what a scam. As Graham, demonstrated the re-assembly on these pistols, will make your want to throw it across the room. I didn't watch a video or read anything just went for it and it took me 45+ minutes the first time, 2nd time, 1 minute, its was a training issue. GP's are also accurate, my HK P30L struggles to keep up.
I wish grandpower would come out with an optic ready model with stippling. That would be the perfect gun
Overall I really like this pistol and would like to have one. Except, I'd have to work on the top of the slide to remove all of those milling cuts. A flat top and rounded edges would dramatically improve the look of the top of that slide that currently looks (to me) like unfinished machining.
Looking forward to getting my copy! Going to run 45 super in it. Should be great with that fully supported chamber.
Thanks for the video.
Very impressive. Unorthodox design. It can be easily carried on an OWB holster under Texas Constitutional Carry Law.
Thanks, GB!
Interesting
And...... after your guidance on short barreled 'SPA' 45 XDS , thanks...I did find Nosler and Hornady " my preference " fit my edc needs as a backup for my 9mm .. . Thanks for the insight
WOW 😲, What a great gun..Can't wait for range day ! I to love Grand Power , That one is going to be so much fun..👍👍
You can see the range video in the linked article.
@@GBGuns AWESOME, Thanks !
Speaking of the front sight, I got one for a CZ p01 for my P1. I had to file the notch in the bottom of it so that the roll pin would go back in & hold the sight in place.
Yes, that seems to be what has to be done with most.
I posted before you mentioned barrel length. I agree. Personally I won’t go shorter than 4” for a compact and anything leading up to 5” with a preference for the latter.
I’m sure the 3 and 3.5” .45’s will still save one’s bacon but I feel more confident with a minimum of four inches .
Yes, of course no one wants to be shot with anything, but there's something to be said for using the barrel length the round was designed to perform in. There are loads out there now intended for short barrels, but in general it's 4" for 9mm and 5" for 45 acp.
This one doesn’t really interest me but I will watch the video,comment and give you a thumbs up thanks for all the work you do.
Thank you
Some people might wonder why some double stack .45’s hold only 10 in the mag when others hold 12, 13 or 14.
It’s the width of the magazine. The 10 rounders like the S&W M&P, the Ruger SR45 and Ruger American, the discontinued SIG P227, the CZ 97b and the HK45 use magazines the same width as a 9mm double stack. So being narrower means the staggering of rounds is steeper. Less room for fat cartridges.
I learned this a long time ago when HK introduced the USP 45 Compact. It held 8 rounds in the magazine and I wondered why it was a 4 round difference between the full sized USP and the Compact. I was expecting it to hold 10 for the shorter magazine.
Well, my lgs had the Compact so I brought my full sized USP .45 mag and compared. Clear difference in width. So when HK created the compact they decided they wanted to do more than “chop” the slide length and grip. They redesigned the Compact to have a narrower grip for a better feel.
The “mid capacity” .45’s tend to feel better in most shooters hands but there’s no free lunch. Fitting more hands means fewer rounds.
Anyway, that’s my long-winded explanation.
Still kicking myself that I didn’t pickup a GP when Global Ordinance had that crazy sale. Nvm I see they still have some great prices
As a "novice" to higher end firearms.... I like them plain and simple 😌.... that work 🤨.... the GPs look like art
Is it novice taste or expert taste that isn't distracted by fancy visuals?
@@GBGuns Expert taste !
Really hoping they eventually bring in more P40's in .40S&W.
Love the 10mm P40L, but I'd do dirty things to add a .40s&w P40L to the collection.
There are some non L P40s in .40S&W in stock right now.
@@InvidiousIgnoramus nice. Actually hadn't noticed that, must be recent. I wonder if they'll do any L models in .40
Are grand powers still using milled hammers or are they MIM now? Great video btw, thanks.
Interesting the slide shape... being from Ohio and worked next to the Goodyear blimp hanger.... the original one..... same shape, sort of.....
Haha, I could see that, and most folks think it's a huge honk of metal, but as you see when we field strip it, Grand Power has removed most of the metal from the inside, leaving only what is needed.
I have several of these and the only knock i have on all of them is the cheap, too short plastic trigger. You can get a very nasty pinch between the bottom of the trigger and the trigger guard. If someone would make an aftermarket trigger and hammer for these guns i would buy one in an instant. My Wife, with her small fingers refuses to shoot these now because of the nasty cut she received when her finger got trapped between the bottom of the trigger and the inside of the trigger guard.
Great Video! Any idea when Global Ordnance will import more decocker models?
Folks need to tell them they want decocker models. I tell them but I'm only one voice.
@@GBGuns Emailed them just now!
I wonder if Grand Power will come out with a .45 in the MK23 series.
They likely will as they had one for the Mk12, but I don't think wellsee it in the US
Do they have any plans on importing the recover models again?
If you mean the decocker models you'll have to tell Global Ordnance you want them.
Is there a 9mm version of this pistol? I think it would make a good companion side arm to my stribog pcc
Yes, we've covered most of the models available in the US, you can see a breakdown of them all here: www.gbgunsdepot.com/post/the-grand-power-pistol-guide
I want to see if anyone else has had this problem recently. I own a p11 and my mag release from day 1 has been STIFFF and even sometimes sticks where u have to press it from the other side to release it. I sent it back to global ordnance and all they did was slap the X Trim over sized mag release button on there basically saying “we found nothing wrong with your mag release and put the larger button on for those who have trouble with pressing it”
Does anyone else have trouble with their grandpowers and having a stiff and even sometimes sticky mag release? Like I’m no wuss I’m a mechanic, young, and been shooting for years? I only ask because I’m interested in getting another grandpower but after the response from Global and the fact my first and only impression is kind of iffy with a potentially defective model I’m weary. Also it’s been 2 years So it’s def not a break in thing either..
I just want to see if this truly is the norm or if I got the short end of the stick. Maybe it’s only the newer models?
Does GP offer any optics cut models?
Not currently in the US
@@GBGuns Thank you. The downside of my old-man eyes is the need for optics.
If the barrel is under 5 in it is not a long slide it is a standard slide.
what is is handle on rumble?

@@GBGuns thank you
Does it handle 45 super?
I don't know
Realistically, yes. You may need a heavier recoil spring. This patern of handgun comes in 10mm, which is a much higher pressure cartridge than .45 or .45 super.
Reminds me of those cheap sar pistols
How so?
A prejudicial view?
I've found that typically when someone makes a negative statement without basis they don't come back to explain their thought because they haven't got a reason.
First, Sarsilmaz SAR does not make "cheap" handguns but good quality affordable handguns. Second, Grand Power is NOT cheap. The quality is there, and the performance is on record. Some people throw 💩 hoping it will stick.
@@v.german11b did I hurt your poor wittle feelings trashing your cheap garbage pistol? 😢
The Grand Power line is still not ready for optics.
It is, we just don't have those models in the US yet
Nice to see I was yet again “accidentally” temporarily unsubscribed by an unknown entity. Certainly not by youtube as that’s not something they do
No, of course not.... just every time we publish a new video (twice a week). Welcome back!
@@GBGuns Haha😂 Thanks good to be back! Keep up the great videos. I’ve got a list of youtubers I have to check regularly if I’m still subscribed to😅
