Thanks for sharing your great experiences with your Grand Powers! I owned a Grand Power P1 and sold it last summer as I decided to focus shooting my CZ P-07. The two guns are a similar size, but the P-07 decidedly carried a bit easier for me as the frame is a bit more compact that that of the P1. P1 is just a "commander sized" K100, with shorter barrel and slide riding on top of the same full sized frame as the K100.
Funny enough, since I sold the pistol, I've actually miss having it and shooting it. It was very smooth shooting, fantastic trigger (beats the P-07 by a nice margin), and that machining...man, I just loved seeing the execution of that precise engineering needed to make the barrel rotate so smoothly!
I'm ready to hop back into the Grand Power pool, but this time, want to go with one of their full sized guns. It'll mostly be a gun for range use and home defense. I like that the X-Trim comes with fiber optic front sight and blacked-out rear. Not too crazy about the slide cuts. They look neat, but will it impact reliability? What are your thoughts, is the X-Trim worth the extra $200 in upgrades over the base K100?
Then of course an extra $120 bumps you up to the X-Calibur...
