phucheneh Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think pretty much everyone that has gotten one has had to search just to find one in stock at a distributor, and then have a local dealer order it. That's what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan-O Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't want to overstate this, so by all means check with Troy... Thanks David, I will. Our next USPSA match is February 22nd, hopefully I will either hear back from Troy or find the X-Cal on the list at uspsa.org by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magsz Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Im sure this has been discussed but im asking again. What is a reasonable street price based off of the MSRP? Ie, what have you guys paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicVerAZ Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Paid 930 for mine. It included transfer fee and AZ taxes. That $999 is somewhat reasonable considering the demand and lack of offer. Wait a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phucheneh Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Somehow JG seems to have gotten more Mk7 K100's. $299 http://www.jgsales.com/grand-power-k100-mk7-semi-auto-pistol,-9mm,-full-size-frame,-new.-p-58147.html If anyone is on the fence about trying a GP, you're insane if you don't buy one. PLEASE buy them before I buy another gun I don't need just because the deal is painfully good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicVerAZ Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Did you guys also notice the magazines were dropped at $19.95? I am getting 4 I had that money reserved for something else GP-related but was unable to finalize the transaction. Oh well.

PLEASE buy them before I buy another gun I don't need just because the deal is painfully good. I have to assume that these are the guns Century held back just in case. ( warranty claims, etc) There is nothing wrong with grabbing a bargain folks. Century only cover the mk7 with a one year warranty, but GP will have full parts support through Eagle Imports.

Canuck223 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Do these have the same trigger mechanism as the xcalibur line? Or, have the newest pistols been updated? Only the Xcal comes with that hammer/sear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phucheneh Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just to be clear, let me expand upon the previous two posts- The X-Cal hammer/sear mech is unique from the rest of the GP line in both the mk7 and mk12 models. Whether there were any changes between mk7 and mk12 X-Cal (or between ml7 and mk12 K100), I really do not know. There are a few obvious things, like the takedown system, and AFAIK all the mk12 GP's being imported into the US have the serrated trigger (I had thought this was X-Cal only, but I've seen P11's and other models with it). At a basic, fundamental level, though, the mk7 should function the same as its mk12 counterpart. That said, here's what you get in a K100, whether mk7 or mk12: -A single-action rivaling the Walther PPQ. 4-5lbs, very crisp, with ridiculously short travel and reset. We're talking about ~2mm from break to stop, and the same amount back out to reset. -Double-action that you will not equal outside of a tuned CZ. No slop, no grit, no stacking. 7-8lbs. -Total weight similar to a Glock 17 or other common fullsize polymer service pistols. Yet the GP's slide rides on a CNC'd internal receiver; not a few tiny chunks of metal embedded in the poly frame. -Recoil as soft as all-steel fullsize pistols -Extreme reliability. I have yet to hear of a single failure with the mechanics of a mk6, mk7, or mk12 gun.* *With two exceptions: 1) STI-branded mk6's broke hammers (of custom STI design), and 2) EXTREME amounts of dryfiring without a snapcap can wear the roll pin that retains the firing pin, leading to a sticking firing pin. CZ's have the exact same 'problem,' which is easily remedied with a snap cap (...or by not dry-firing the gun a hundred thousand times. ) P.S. I am not a representative of GP. I just really, really like their guns and like to spread the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Over the last 18 months or so, we tweaked the sears slightly. I believe the older sears were CNC'd but the current versions are EDM'd. The part we produce today has even tighter dimensional control than before. It results in a subtle improvement in trigger feel than the older Mk7 guns. I describe them as coming out of the box as nice as a broken in part.All 2012 and newer guns come with the frame drilled for both sear systems. We ship the X-Calibur and the K22 X-Trim (not yet ATF approved) with the X-Cal hammer and sear, and the rest of the line with the standard K100 hammer and sear.

popo22 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Are these the same as the STI GP6 with no decocker or way to lower the hammer other than by use of a finger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Are these the same as the STI GP6 with no decocker or way to lower the hammer other than by use of a finger? Yes, although there is a decocker option now on most models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popo22 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks, is the decocker option able to be installed after purchase or does it need to be from the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Factory only at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
