While I believe the 10mm model has been in production for some time, this is the first mention I've seen of it on the American importer's page. For those not familiar, the Grand Power is a Slovakian pistol that features a rotating barrel, fully ambidextrous controls, and Condition 1 carry capability. They've proven very successful on the IPSC scene in Europe. I've got a K100 Mk7 9mm, it's the smoothest shooting centerfire pistol I've ever owned and the single action trigger rivals that of my Wilson CQB. Couple that trigger with 14+1 10mm and they may have a real winner on their hands. |

OP, that's an odd looking cutout on the bottom of the grip. Does it affect how you hold the pistol?

10mm GP100?
I think I'm gonna fo on this one. I've always thought it was an interesting pistol, but I didn't want another 9mm pistol that would need different mags from what I've got now (a couple of CZs, and a hand full of Beretta 92's). I've wanted a 10mm pistol that I could actually shoot for a while now, instead of a Delta Elite that sits in the safe because its unsafe to shoot because it bulges cases. |

Fuck yesss. There's a member here that was talking about knowing the owner of GP in an MPX thread. I said to him to tell his buddy to hurry up with this! I'm going to take credit.
I'm excited to see range reviews on the recoil and the fact now Glock has a 10mm competitor at a potentially cheaper price. |

View Quote It's feasible your CZ-75 mags could be modded to work with the 9mm model; they work the other way around as-is. It's the same tube, just with an extra hole for the GP. I plan on experimenting with this when I get moved and my shop set up. |

Quoted: Interesting. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3qPqNXnlcFo/maxresdefault.jpg I wonder why they machined that flat spot onto the chamber? Looks cool, but they made it thinner there. Designed in blowout zone for operator safety? View Quote Lol no. It uses a rotating barrel not tilting, that cut is so it can clear the slide. |
|
It is a refreshing change of pace to seen an actual blued slide on a polymer gun, instead of just some shitty baked on finish.

Been wanting a 10mm for some time now. Really was hoping VLTOR would have brought out the Fortis by now. . Really wanted that one.
May have to try to get hands on with this one. |

I am also hoping he'll be able to import his new toy, the Stribog, although it will have to be neutered to semi-auto only. The prototype is using UZI mags. I am unclear on whether the production model (in production for European consumption, btw) uses a modified or original Uzi/Colt mag. Here's Jaro with his new toy: https://youtu.be/j9SygEuNxkw Now THAT will put a smile on your face! |

Oh, yeah: To see the stuff available in Europe, hit up www.grandpower.eu You will have to select English, but some things on the Slovak side are not on the English side. Just sayin'
Dammit. He changed the site on me. The Slovak language Carbine (karabina) page doesn't lead anywhere, now. |

Price needs to come down on these. By $200 or more for me to even consider them. Especially since I only paid $350 for my K100.

I rather wish Eagle would have launched with those versions instead of the 4.25" models. The possibility of the 5" 10mm (or .45 for that matter) coming out later is the only thing that gives me pause about buying this one. |

Seriously i hate you op. Sigh.....i already wanted a grand power.....now I have to get one.
Thought i was done was 10mm after i sold my mauser m2 10mm conversion. |

Looks like I have yet another new 10 to lust after.
Someone tell me when they start to filter into shops. |

I've had them with too deep a ramp, and ones that ran with hot ammo. Personally I dont run hot 10mm in my DEs anymore, but only because I have a Glock 10mm for that. |

Anything that can deeply undercut the TMP, MPX, and SMGs of that type in price yet offer more than the Scorpion would be hot. I know that if Nolo wins I would make my carry gun one of those GP pistols with the two round burst . |

My only gripe and it is nit picking, I would prefer a metal trigger. I have just about convinced myself to order a P1 MK12. |

Fuck it, why not just drop $600 or so and get a better pistol over all. |

I just wish there was a way (in the U.S.) to suppress the Grand Powers. I wouldn't even mind making a Form 1 can that's dedicated to it, but I don't want to filddle around trying to come up with a rotating Neilson device.

They are nice looking guns. I was thinking of getting the K100. Can't beat the price.
Rather have one in .357 Sig than 10mm but that is not relevant I guess. |
