NicVerAZ Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Ah, well.... It's no big deal if I missed it. I run it in production, I'm a man of actions, not words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missed it by that much Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Quick report on my new to me ex-caliber. Good astheycs feels good in the hands, and shoots a 2 inch group at 25 yds with 125 grain coated bullets off bags. No problems with reliability and points easy for me. Shells do eject straight back at times. All and all out of my plastic guns (m&p fs, Springfield xdm I like it). Mags are expensive so it's good it came with 8 when I bought it[emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicVerAZ Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 They were $15 when CAI dumped GP and JG Sales bought it all at a discount. Lots of K100 at $300 and mags at $15. I ordered 6 mags and my extra K100 which is barely used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashAndPoof Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) This gun still being imported? I don't think there's a single one available online, let alone finding mags. And if I find a used one, how do I tell which version it is? Apparently they made some changes for the rear sight so it has less chance of drifting?

valerko Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 rear sight on Xcaliber can't drift . I don't think there's different versions . Yes they are available , your LGS should be able to order one. Mags are expensive , north of $50 , or you can modify CZ75 mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistolpete9 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Very cool that you got to do that! I am a very big fan of my Grand Power stuff and the quality seems to be on a much higher level than the other guns at similar price points. Do your Grand Power pistols have a generous disconnect? Mine all let the hammer down even when the slide is still almost an inch out of battery. It's not a problem for me, but it is very unique to my Grand Power pistols. My CZ trigger disconnects within a millimeter or two of rearward travel of the slide. That's one of only a few picky complaints I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuasm Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) How are the magwells on the X series? And any updates on the shootability of the platform? Edited March 5, 2017 by joshuasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First question: it is good enough for fast competition reloads. Second question: I still believe it to be a great choice for competition, based on the fact that it is "ready to race" (KTM did not come up with the slogan, Husaberg did) out of the box with zero to none modifications and this for less than $900 for the pistol. You can rig up with belt, pouches, holster, spare mag for around $1200, compared with twice the price for instance with a CZ from CZ Customs. Now, if you want a DA-SA for competition, and if you have the money, you will certainly enjoy a CZ from CZ Customs, because Angus makes great guns. You do get what you pay for. Based on my experience: the X-Cal is very accurate, shoots fast and flat, transitions fast due to its weight. The design is very cool and I personally love Grand Power pistols. To be fair: you will have more stable gun and a better trigger with a CZ Customs. I have not tested the other pistols out there and I am not a Glock guy, therefore I can't compare with anything else. So, to summarize: yes, the Grand Power X-Calibur is a great competition production pistol, considering that it is ready to race out of the box for a decent price and that it has some good things for itself.

muncie21 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I normally run a CZ SP01 in production in the local USPSA matches. My CZ has been having intermittent extractor issues, so I'm going to try out the X-cal while I wait for my new extractor spring to arrive. It uses the same mag pouches as the CZ and the used one that I purchased included a holster. Let's see what damage I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashAndPoof Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Shot a X-Cal and loved it enough that I almost bought one. I have a STI 2011 so that's still my go to gun, but damn... the design and recoil characteristics of the X-Cal really impressed me. But I balked at the price of mags... $80+ for one with extra capacity/basepads? That's 2011 territory! Is there a cheaper source for mags? And is there a way to get a magwell on them? Also didn't like the humongous safety but I recall reading that they ship with a smaller safety as well for install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, you can and SHOULD swap the safety on the opposite side of your thumb or else the USPSA box will not shut and you'll get bumped into open. ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!!

JPetrowski Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I just looked at the "complete package". Have you used the mag pouches? Do you like them or would you recommend buying a different brand separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've been looking at these guys a bit. One question: don't double-to-singles have to start with the hammer down for USPSA Production? Does the X-Calibur have a decocker? I'm a revo guy so I'm used to those goofy commands like "cylinder closed" - I don't know how the bottom feeders do it, lol.
