@@GBGuns I like them alot, I carried a 92fs and Browning HP in service, I do love a hammer gun ;), the p1 is my preferred carry, I like alittle longer sight rail, and barrel. I am looking at the Storm 4x G next purchase, (decocker fan). I will say the GP are very well made, excellent fitting, Dad was a Gunsmith and I was machinist. My grandson, a Marine will be getting my 2 Tanfoglio's which I was carrying until I got the GPs
Great Review! I carry a GP P11 MK12 and I love it one of the BEST shooting guns I have ever used. But when the time comes to clean it I still use some very colorful language to help get it back together. Keep up the great work and take care.
You're absolutely correct. GB Gun videos were the reason.my husband and I are now adding grand Power firearms to our collection. Grand Power is a European manufactured firearm. My husband and I prefer German/ European firearms. If you purchase a grand Power firearm you will not be disappointed. Have a good evening 🙏
Great video GB! The new locking system looks amazing. I’m looking forward to the range video to see if you feel much difference between Mk12 and Mk23 due to the locking system and better grip textures.
@@GBGuns Thank you! I did miss that one. Both seemed to have equal muzzle flip but you felt the Mk23 to be a little smoother. As I guessed the different grip texture is the major difference here, even with cold shots. Both are excellent guns. Thanks again! 👍🏻
I'm loving my GP. And like you, got bit by the bug. You were alking about wishing for a different sights.. I guess Global will swap out the from for a fiber on request.. At least with the 12s. Still contumplating if I want a K X trim or a standard K. The lightning cuts worth the extra? All I know is my X Cal is more accurate than my fully custom PX4.. Pisses me off a little, but then again, it sold me to the Grand Power Cult. ;-)
There's a purpose behind dots but it's far more limited than what optics makers would have you believe. That big bright front sight is the most failproof and reliable dot ever made.
Great gun, I own it. The case they provide, on the other hand, is an embarrassment. It is flimsy, clasps do not work, it is not TSA compliant. Biggest problem is lack of after market options: no threaded barrel, no fiber optic front sight, no tritium sights, no suppressor height sights (for example Sig Sauer has suppressor height tritium sights). Hey Global Ordinance get some after market parts for Grand Power. What I really want is a decocker, formerly an option now not.
Let GLobal Ordnance know you want a decocker model. There's no threaded barrel because there are no US parts that would work on a rotating barrel. There are fiber optic sights and other options IF Global Ordnance imports them.
Imagine if UA-cam blocked all videos showing how to change the handgrip of a tennis racket or a pickleball racket. Or how to change the drill bit in a drill. Or how to …. It’s all so ridiculous!!!!
Question...these have firing pin blocks, correct? It looks like they have them anyway. Is that a part that eventually needs to be replaced like they do on CZs? And like CZs can it be damaged by too much dry fire without a snap cap? Also, you have the decocker on the MK12, is that interchangeable with the safety on the MK23? With the different barrel design and slightly different housing, maybe not? I'm not sure what is involved with switching to the decocker, but if you can find a dirt cheap decocker MK12 from pretty much any of the 9mm models then maybe it's worth it for the parts since you can't buy them separately. The safety at least looks the same on the MK12 and MK23.
You should see the merch bar beneath the video (unless UA-cam took that down). It's not the greatest stuff, but it's what could be done without sinking a bunch of capital that I don't have.
Another great review. Thanks! I got the K100 and I am now on a mission to find suppressor-height sights (the GP 2024 catalog shows them, but Global Ordnance does not stock them yet.) I spoke with a Global Ordnance sales person and he said it's "likely" that they'll have them but no actual commitment or an ETA. Is there any other global supplier that you know and would mail sights? Do you know if GP sells direct? I am also in the process of sourcing a better fitting plate (one that fits the width of the optic and the contours of the slide.)
The K100 Mk 23 and the 40L look appealing enough. How hard would it be to convert them to decocker, and how is the availability? I've looked a bit and haven't found much.
Thank you for sharing this informative video. Grand Power makes some outstanding firearms, they are meticulously manufactured. My husband and I would gladly buy you some German beer if we were in your area. Idk iif there's any real German Hofbrau's in your area 🤔 Off subject; my husband and I recently were in Oakland, CA. Near the airport there was a so called German Hofbrau'. It definitely wasn't German and it sold Mexican and Asian food as well 😳. We wish you and Teya a great weekend. Great video channel of yours 🙏
Typically a striker allows for a longer sight radius and lower cost, but I prefer the trigger feel of a hammer. I've also generally seen more reliable ignition with hammer guns (aside from Taurus) than with striker guns.
Is this a Steel frame gun? Or is this another "injection molded" plastic wonder? I really hate plastic guns! Steel is my preferred, but I do own one or two "light-alloy" frame guns.
I've been watching your channel for years. I know you don't care for Dots but the rest of your viewers may and probably do. Why don't you start demonstrating more dots on dot ready guns? PS trigger weight from time to time would be nice too.
After the main review I've been mounting dots on guns and taking them back out, I just don't like altering a firearm and then reviewing it because it's then no longer an objective review of the gun. I stopped measureing trigger pull weight when I realized it didn't matter unless it was under 3lbs or over 10lbs. Trigger feel is what makes the difference and that unfortunately can only be descripbed.
The "rest of your viewers"? I'm one of his viewers and I just don't see it. Four to five times a week at the range and I usually go most weeks without seeing someone else use a pistol dot. Maybe folks like them more where you live as opposed to mine. Hard telling. I'm part of the silent majority, those that won't use pistol dots on duty guns. They are another piece of gear to maintain, another piece of gear susceptible to malfunction, and detract ever so slightly from concealability. I have owned and used Trijicon, Vortex, Sig, Burris, Meprolight, and a few others at some point. At some point and in some way, every single pistol dot I've owned has failed. Every single one, one way or another. Like me, there are many of us who have found out that dots, even those of reputable manufacture, are a consumable item. Plus frankly, as GB has stated again and again and again and again, ad infinitum, he is reviewing a firearm, not an optic or optics/gun combination. Not bashing others' choices, and I'm not actually an "anti" dotter. I've obviously owned more than a few. it's just that I suspect if you look around they are less common than you feel. I rarely see them up here except in competition shooting.
It would be nice to know the footprints and optics mounting information at the very least. How it mounts and cowitniss with the irons. I mean that is part of the gun and should be included with the gun review information. What better way to demonstrate what the gun mounting footprint is like than to actually show one mounted. Just saying. Not trying to start an optics debate...should you use or not...just the information if the gun is so equipped.

You have converted me I now have p11 and p1
How do you like them?

I’m looking for them to make a ‘GBGuns’ edition because you’re the only one reviewing them.
I've been a fan for years
Either that or a Global Ordinance version
I'm waiting for the decocker models.
Be sure to let Global Ordnance know. They order what they think people want.
I just realized that the name "Grand Power" was probably inspired by "Hi-Power" or "Grande Puissance"
Great Review! I carry a GP P11 MK12 and I love it one of the BEST shooting guns I have ever used. But when the time comes to clean it I still use some very colorful language to help get it back together. Keep up the great work and take care.
THis is my method: ua-cam.com/video/rbeNPw1VcDo/v-deo.html
@@GBGuns Thank you that really helped
Greatly appreciate the details regarding the quality of the craftsmanship of this pistol. It's rarely mentioned by most reviewers.
Very well machined!!!

My husband and I prefer German/ European firearms. If you purchase a grand Power firearm you will not be disappointed. Have a good evening 🙏
I’ve already had one of the optics plates break on my mk23 K100. Working on modeling it and will have one printed in metal.
I thought the GPs were affordable..K100Mk23 is $620+; will wait for some deals. Great review.
Great video GB! The new locking system looks amazing. I’m looking forward to the range video to see if you feel much difference between Mk12 and Mk23 due to the locking system and better grip textures.
I did some side by side shooting of them on the second channel
@@GBGuns I missed it…I’ll look it up. 👍🏻
I pulled it up for youo: ua-cam.com/video/RGecVxL2XTE/v-deo.html
@@GBGuns Thank you! I did miss that one. Both seemed to have equal muzzle flip but you felt the Mk23 to be a little smoother. As I guessed the different grip texture is the major difference here, even with cold shots. Both are excellent guns. Thanks again! 👍🏻

Only thing I'm worried about is the polymer optic plates, doesn't the new x-caliber come with steel plates? Are they cross-compatible?
I have tried red dots, and I'm not a fan. I am much faster and more accurate with open sights.😊
That's reassuring for this 73 year old, shooting for 60+ years. I'm an analog guy living in a digital world. ✌️
There's a purpose behind dots but it's far more limited than what optics makers would have you believe.
That big bright front sight is the most failproof and reliable dot ever made.
Nothing not to like here. If it's as accurate as the now "older" design I'll have to pick one up.
It looks like they maybe added pre travel in rotating barrels cam track adding to the delay before the barrel starts rotating maybe decreasing recoil?
How does this compare to a Bul or a Cz shadow?
Great gun, I own it. The case they provide, on the other hand, is an embarrassment. It is flimsy, clasps do not work, it is not TSA compliant.

This, or the Bul for your next class?
I just took the Bul Armroy to a class a couple of weeks ago, might run this next.

There may be sources in Europe, but you'll be paying for shipping if they ship to the US
The K100 Mk 23 and the 40L look appealing enough.
How hard would it be to convert them to decocker, and how is the availability?
I've looked a bit and haven't found much.
Decocker kits are not sold anymore. Let Global Ordnance know you want a decocker model.
@@GBGuns Thanks for that!
Hopefully they're importing them now.
Totating barrel... is it the same design & operation as the Barretas?

“ Well sure you make it look easy to take down because you followed the manufacturer’s directions!!!! “
( face palm )
Would this be a good USPSA gun in your opinion?
GB what is your preference hammer or striker?
Typically a striker allows for a longer sight radius and lower cost, but I prefer the trigger feel of a hammer. I've also generally seen more reliable ignition with hammer guns (aside from Taurus) than with striker guns.
@@GBGuns Same. I like hammer guns although I own both. Thank you.
Warranty sucks, particularly for new generation with no track record
What was your experience?
@@GBGuns broken guns!
@@RevGunn-jq3cq that's part 1 of needing a warranty, but what was your warranty experience.
How many Grand Powers do you have?
Is this a Steel frame gun? Or is this another "injection molded" plastic wonder?
I really hate plastic guns!
Steel is my preferred, but I do own one or two "light-alloy" frame guns.
I'm sorry the video didn't make it readily apparent. This is a polymer frame with a billet stainless steel internal block to secure all parts.
Do you know if they'll be coming out with an xtrim for the MK23?
I have not heard anything yet.

@@GBGuns I do love watching your reviews. It's the same thorough format every time. Just a suggestion.
@@boog3690 I appreciate that. Some guns get a third video or more with an optic later on if there's time

I'd rather have a Canik.
Canik doesn't make an equivalent pistol.
@@GBGuns That's true, they make better.
God bless
@deusvult6632 better how? What was your experience?
Then go buy a Canik!
@@MattTheBandGuy Did you notice he never responded with how a Canik was better or what his experience was? They never do...
