Well folks, I've made it through my first two IPSC matches with this gun. So far, I'm very impressed. The Fiber Optic front sight is definately worth buying if you shoot in competition. It's far brighter than I'd expected.

My slide stop pin has started to creep out a few mm during the course of a match. I may get my smith to try the fix mentioned above.

One word to the wise for guys using race holsters. I use a Hogue for IPSC, and had a problem during a stage where I choose to keep the lock engaged. I needed to haul butt prior to shooting, and left the gun in the holster and locked. I snatched the gun prematurely, before fully disengaging the lock, and popped the trigger guard down.

I didn't realize this, and after one shot, the slide locked open. My tap-rack-bang drill to fix the problem turned into a tap-rack-slingshot

I launched the slide, barrel, and recoil spring downrange. I am happy to report that the tenifer finish really does hold up to abuse, as mine did a half gainer and slid across a concrete floor.

Better get your orders in line FAST with your FFL or STI to reserve one from STI's upcoming shipment!.

The word on this incredable pistol has gotten out...as I knew it would.

I'm so very glad I was 1st in line when their 1st shipment came in last year!
(I had read about them since '06 and "drooled"...and it is Everything they said it was...and also the Canadians, that have had them for 2 1/2 yrs)

Default The Awesome GUNZILLA that I use exclusively now

And htxred,
NOW I remember why I can fire my GP6 "dirty" with no problems after about 3 trips to my range.

It's the AWESOME cleaner/lube/metal preservative that I've used Exclusively, since find it about 1 1/2 yrs ago.....GUNZILLA

I called the company owner (and creator) to order a military discount on a case to ship tp a friend fighting in Iraq, and he told me a Very Interesting bit of info.

He said the Federal ICE Agency (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) contacted him about an independent test they ran on weapon various well know cleaner/lube products.
They had 6 Agent shooters clean their issued identical pistols with 5 different well known lube/cleaning products, plus one with the "as yet, lesser known" GUNZILLA. They told him that the test was to all use 5 fully loaded mags each in a very rapid fire test, quickly reloading mag. after mag. as fast as they could until all rounds were fired (hitting a target was not important).

They said the GUNZILLA cleaned pistol operated flawlessly, never jammed, misfiringed or anything..."smooth as glass" (Which I know is true from using it this long).
But ALL the other 5 pistols with other lube/cleaners had at least one, or more misfires and could complete the test before the GUNZILLA clean pistol was through.

Then on those 5 that failed, all they had to do to make them operate flawlessly was to rack the slide back (no field stripping) and squirt some GUNZILLA into them and along slide rails (from the outside), rack the slide a few times...and they all operated without misfire!
Cool, eh?

Now when you think of ICE, you'll know what ALL they Federal Agents are issued.

The stuff is Incredably Great!
Read here about it...the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan crave the stuff because their weapons don't jam or misfire during firefights!

Read about it at their website:

Hello

If you have any question about the STI GP6/K100, now there's an international Forum (in English and French) on the Grand Power Website
