Description

Meet the P1S 9mm Semi-Automatic handgun.  This handgun is a SA/DA model with a shorter barrel and slide featuring a 4140 steel reinforced polymer frame and a chrome-nickel molybdenum slide with a significant design emphasis on ergonomics for ease of function.

The barrel, slide, and other metal parts are treated with Tenifer coating, which hardens the metal components and increases resistance to corrosion.   The black polymer frame houses a steel chassis that contains the slide rails, crosspin, trigger group, and a feed ramp for the barrel. The frame is generally smooth with raised textured panels on the sides and rear of the grip area.

This handgun is a compact version of K100, still maintaining the original firing capacity and the comfort of grip.  The accuracy and shooting action remain unchanged comparing to the full-sized models despite the shortened barrel. The standard sights consist of a side-adjustable steel rear sight and a blade front sight.

The P1S design and action have some serious benefits not found on many other higher priced guns. Instead of a tilt-barrel (a modified Browning design), it uses a rotating barrel that disengages a lug on the barrel from a channel in the slide while the bore axis remains in the same orientation to the slide and frame which positions the barrel slightly lower in the frame, putting it closer to the shooter’s hand. This in turn reduces the recoil’s leverage on the shooter’s wrist and makes it easier to control muzzle flip. As a result, the sights get back on target faster, shooting the gun is easier and accuracy is significantly increased compared to many other guns of similar size and caliber.

If you have not heard of Grand Power or had an opportunity to get your hands on one, you are missing out on a fantastic firearm. No matter the need or the venue, you will be hard pressed to find a better option than the Grand Power P1S.
