Grand Power K100 - SPONSORED
Rob PincusThe Grand Power K100 is made in Slovakia and imported by Eagle Imports. It’s a great-shooting gun with a short, crisp trigger that’s easy to shoot. With its choice of four grips, the K100 fits the hand really well.
Features
It’s a double-action/single-action gun with a frame-mounted safety decocker that allows you to shoot the gun either in single action with the safety on or in double action. Barrel length is 4.3 inches.
It has a very positive ambidextrous slide stop. Being able to lock the slide open in an emergency is important. It also comes with an ambidextrous magazine release. The Grand Power K100 is built as a defensive firearm. The 9mm version comes with two 15-round magazines.
Ergonomics
The Grand Power K100 ships with four different backstraps, meaning four options for grip size, all with the right ergonomics. Almost all hand sizes will fit one of them, and the backstraps are easy to change. It’s comfortable for lengthy handgun training and practice sessions.
Rotating Barrel
Grand Power’s rotating barrel makes the recoil impulse of the Grand Power K100 a little delayed and less than you would expect. The rotating barrel also makes it easier to manipulate the slide, a plus for people with less upper body strength or grip strength. Grand Power markets the K100 as a home-defense weapon.
Grand Power K100 X-Trim
This variant of the K100 is primarily for competition. It has a different trigger system, slide, and barrel. Like the K100, it’s DA/SA and 9mm with a 15-round magazine, and has the same rotating barrel system, though the K100 X-Trim’s barrel is longer, at six inches. Weight has been removed from the slide of the K100 X-Trim and it has a side-adjustable Dynamic steel rear sight and fiber optic front sight. Its frame-mounted safety is very large and the magazine release is oversized too.
Get out on the range with the Grand Power K100 or K100 X-Trim. You won’t regret it!
This is the Grand Power K-100. This is a very unique gun that's made in Slovakia and imported by Eagle Imports. This gun is actually one of the best shooting guns that I've had in my hands in a long time. It fits the hand really well. Now it is a double action, single action gun and it's one with a frame mounted safety de-cocker that allows you to shoot this gun either in single action, so in other words I could cock the gun, keep it in single action mode with the safety on.
Carry it in a holster this way or stage it for home defense and then be able to take the safety off and fire my first shot in single action. Or, after I've loaded the gun, I can use the ambidextrous frame mounted de-cocker to put the gun into double action mode. Now this gun can't be carried in double action mode with the safety on, but that's okay because I wouldn't recommend that you stage a gun or carry a gun that way anyway. You either are gonna be single action with the safety on or in the double action mode. The other thing you notice about this gun is it has a very positive ambidextrous slide stop.
So being able to lock that slide open in an emergency is important and they give you some good deep serrations also. This gun is built as a defensive firearm. Again I mentioned earlier, the ergonomics of the gun. It also comes with four different back straps when you buy the gun. So you're gonna get two 15 round magazines in the 9 millimeter.
You're gonna get four options for grip size, all with the right ergonomics, so that most hand sizes are gonna fit this gun really well. And you do have an ambidextrous magazine release as well. Now the nice thing about this gun really is one of the features that you don't see very often. And that is a rotating barrel. I'm gonna kinda violate one of my own handling rules and come up here in front of the ejection port and let you see that that barrel is rotating as it starts to move back.
That makes the recoil impulse of this gun a little bit different. It actually feels a little delayed and it's a little less recoil than you would expect. One of the other features of a rotating barrel is that it does make it a little bit easier to manipulate the slide for people with less upper body strength or grip strength. Another thing you should know is that the K-100 comes in an X-Calibur trim. Now the X-Calibur trim is primarily a competition trim.
And, as you can see, it's a longer barrel. It's a six inch barrel. Still a rotating barrel obviously. And you can see that some weight has been removed from the slide to accommodate really exactly the same kind of recoil system. We've got adjustable sights, a fiber optic sight.
And you can see it's got a very large, easy to manipulate frame mounted safety. Now it is a double action, single action gun which means that the great trigger that comes with all the Grand Powers is always gonna be short and crisp and easy to shoot. Again, the gun's gonna fill the hand. It's got four different back straps. It's still that same 15 round, 9 millimeter magazine.
And now, on the strong side, you've got an oversized magazine release. But it is still an ambidextrous magazine release. Let me tell you, this is a great shooting gun. If you haven't had a chance to go out and check out one of these rotating barrel Grand Power K-100s, get to a range that has one in the rental bin. Get to somebody that has one, a friend of yours.
Get on the range and shoot it. I don't know anybody who shot one of these guns that hasn't really been impressed with it. And they're available at a very fair price. The Grand Power K-100.
