Gun Grand Power Q100 with a rotating barrel
Of particular interest in the Grand Power pistols is, perhaps, their rotating barrel. Engineers who decided to use a rotating barrel after the calculations, reported that this version of the barrel reduces the impact when fired, and also minimizes the muzzle toss. This makes it possible to use the weapon effectively enough even for those who hold the gun in their hands for the first time (exaggerated, of course). In addition, inexperienced shooters have the opportunity to conduct aimed shooting with a sufficiently high accuracy in the case of the use of powerful ammunition of relatively large caliber.
There are not many pistols with rotating trunks on the modern market, and therefore the Grand Power representatives decided to carry out the operation of this niche in full. To the principles and technological features that were used by engineers in the first versions of pistols, a relatively low “planted” barrel was added, which makes it very effective to control the pistol when firing fast fire. In this regard, the Grand Power pistols have gained additional accuracy, and therefore their popularity has increased and shooters-athletes.
If we talk about the design of Grand Power pistols, it was conceived as the embodiment of the defensive principle of this weapon. Although over time, the fact of exclusively defensive function of pistols with a rotating barrel became not quite obvious, as representatives of the police and the army became interested in weapons.
A new self-loading pistol from Slovak manufacturers was presented at the international arms exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany. They became Q100, which, instead of the standard external trigger, is equipped with an impact type system. This single / double action pistol is supplied to the market, a patent for which Grand Power was obtained in due time.
The system is interesting in that it provides the possibility of a “backup strike” in case the cartridge suddenly “did not wish” to ignite when the trigger is pressed for the first time. Although, as the manufacturers themselves say, usually the cartridges react to the mechanism from the first attempt.
The new Q100 self-loading pistol from Grand Power is equipped with a polyamide frame made of GF30 material. This is a polyamide reinforced with fiberglass and graphite, which makes it resistant not only to abrasion, but also to various kinds of deformations even under extreme temperature conditions. The pistol grip is made in the style of Mk12. It has several interchangeable panels (usually three sets per model). The frame comes with an insert of CrMo, including a coating of Quench Polish Quench (QPQ) - a special heat treatment with oxidation, intermediate polishing and additional oxidation in a salt melt.
Grand Power Q100 pistols are equipped with a standard Picatinny rail that allows you to use a variety of tactical accessories with your weapon. The weapon has symmetrical controls: a button to eject the magazine, a slide latch and a manual safety device. The gun, thanks to the implementation of symmetrical functional elements, without additional "settings" can be used by both right-handed and left-handed arrows.
The Q-100 has the so-called combat recharging capability: when recharging is performed with an open slide delay, and if the shooter inserts a new cartridge into the magazine, it is inserted with force, the bolt cover closes, sending a new cartridge into the chamber, and the drummer re-arches himself . That is, the shooter will not need to pay attention and spend time on the slide gate of the weapon.
Grand Power Q100 features:
barrel length 108 mm (the hardness of the metal of the barrel is up to 48 HRC inside and to 54 HRC outside);
Grand Power Q100 shop double row on 15 ammunition caliber 9x19mm Parabellum;
there is a three-point sighting device.
At the exhibition in Nuremberg, the gun interested visitors mainly from European countries.
