Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the presenter switch from their old Grand Power K100 for daily carry?

The presenter retired their old Grand Power K100 due to a safety malfunction where the safety lever unexpectedly disengaged while drawing the firearm. This wear and tear after years of use made it unreliable for safe daily carry.

What are the key differences between the older K100 and the new K100 Edge?

The new K100 Edge features a decocker, unlike the older model which was cocked-and-locked only. The Edge also sports a nitriding finish on the barrel and improved bluing on the metal components, offering enhanced durability and aesthetics.

What is the advantage of a DA/SA pistol with a decocker for concealed carry?

A DA/SA pistol with a decocker allows for a safer draw by enabling the user to place a thumb on the hammer. It also offers the flexibility to carry decocked for a double-action first shot, which can be a safer option, especially for appendix carry.

What makes Grand Power pistols unique in their construction?

Grand Power pistols feature a robust steel chassis system embedded within the polymer frame, ensuring tight tolerances and precision. They also utilize a rotating barrel system, which helps to mitigate muzzle flip and recoil effectively.
