That hold the barrel trick is the bomb. I struggled for a solid 15 minutes before I got lucky enough to just get it and then I came across your video.since that time I've reassembled my gun four times in five minutes I think it worked out excellent thank you so much for decoding the procedure
My pleasure, Ray! I was pretty relieved that it works too. I’m glad it works for you.
WOW!! oh thank, you thank you, I have been fighting this reassembly for almost 2 years and you just lowered my blood pressure and cleaned up my language at the same time. Great job.
Wow, big help ! I was following your instructions once though 🎉 I really like GP but I really like your work too, thank you so much and hope see you again 😅
Thanks for the video! I shot my K100 Mk12 after 2 years of it being in a safe and remembered the dreaded reassembly. After struggling for a few minutes went on youtube and found your video! Showing how to hold the barrel did the trick for me.
Side note: on my K100 I have to pull down on levers to allow the last 1/4 inch travel for the frame to slide in place.
Freezuch Great information...and I am glad my video helped!!
Great video! I just found it.
My daughter was given a K100 a few years ago by a boyfriend. He had barely shot it.
She brought it to me to check it out and like usual I had to take it apart to check internals. It was the early model where you had to pull down the frint of the trigger guard to release the slide.
It was a pain to take apart and almost a nightmare to reassemble but I got it done.
I am going to try this method on it now.
Looks like it should work great. Thanks for this video!
My pleasure!! Yeah, the pain of getting this thing together made me delve deep into an easier way. I’m glad to help!
Thank you so much for this video. Spent 20 mins fighting on my third time dissassemble. This video is better than the one from grand power
Thank you very much!
The first time I tried to reassemble the pistol; I had a very difficult time. I eventually succeed. It must of taken me 8 attempts over 2 hours. I had to rest my hands, 68 year old hands On the second breakdown, I used a motorcycle glove to enhance my grip on the slide. It only took me two tries. I will try your technique, thank you.
Arma De Fuego let me know if it worked for you!
5 minutes ? I WISH ! I fought with mine for at least 15 minutes. I was ready to send the dam thing back. It's a nightmare. Thank you so much for the video.
I just got mine. All the reviews I read spoke about the heavy double action trigger and the rotating barrel reducing felt recoil. They failed to mention that you need to be as strong as a gorilla, as deft as a neurosurgeon, have a mechanical engineering degree from MIT, have three hands and be lucky as hell to field strip it. Throw in another hand and more luck to reassemble it. I would not have bought it had I known. I guess that's a good thing if I wind up liking it.
Good video with good tips.
If you just hold the slide upside down in your off hand with the barrel pointing down there is no need to hold the barrel at all. Line up the guide rod and push straight down on the frame and they will go back together quickly and easily. 😊
Awesome! Yes!
Wow, where were you 36 months ago when I needed you? Lucky I still have mine, because the gun is so accurate at 15 meters and 20 meters, it’s more accurate than other 9mm handguns with red dots mounted!
It sure is! I’ve been really pleased by it!
To back up my previous statement concerning accuracy, I go to the gun range with my Grand Power P-1 and my Springfield Armory XD subcompact 9mm mounted with a Holosun red dot, my target shooting is always better with the GP. Yes I know it maybe me the shooter and not the guns but at least I make a valid comparison
@@richardavery2244 The shooter has the most to do with it (in my opinion) because steady hands and a decent gun can’t be replaced. I’m rubbish at zeroing red dots so I’ve been (also) shooting better with bare sights.
Thanks for the assembly tip. My problem was that I have at least 2 too few hands. Five hands would be optimum. Extrapolating on your pinkie hold on the barrel, I figured I needed that pinkie for other duties, so I looked for an alternative. I wound an elastic band around the barrel, and pushed it up against the slide to keep the barrel relatively fixed. It worked rather well.
After gorilla-ing the slide back on, the slide moved forwad and self-ejected the band.
Oh, that worked!
You sir saved my sanity! A sincere thanks-love Grand Power pistols but the take down and re-assembly is maddening!
It’s my pleasure sir!
great tip!!! when i first got my grandpower i could not get it together without extreme difficulty. i can do it now, but since i saw your video, i do it the FIRST time, every time. thanks.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
I almost sold the thing.
Liked and subbed
It worked, right? Thank you for subbing!!
@@CitizenCarry yes worked like a charm
With my method you can take the slide off and put it back on in about 15 seconds! Putting it back on is the tricky part for everyone, but it really is easy. Simply get the recoil spring and barrel in their correct starting positions, then, while pulling the slide back keep it SQUARE and TIGHT to the grip rails. By doing this the slide will automatically find the slots it's suppose to drop into and do so...done!!!
This a excellent video 👍🏼. Great job
Thank you very much! I truly appreciate that!
Thank you! Works great! I love my Q1S and specifically chose it based on knowing the heritage of excellence of the people manufacturing it, The Slovakian people.
I just purchased the updated MK23 K100. Without a doubt it is the absolutely worst pistol to reassemble. I was ready to send it back but I spent an hour seeing how it reassembled without the recoil spring to test the alignment. You also have to push the slide down by the hammer and cause the hammer to flex down to reinstall the slide.
Oh yes, absolutely!
@@CitizenCarryI will be practicing the reinstall method daily until the monks will let me leave the temple. Interesting enough there appears to be no need to pull down on the takedown knobs during reassembly, but on my pistol it will no go all the way back unless I pull down on the takedown knobs.
Very helpful, thanks
My pleasure!
Very well explained 👍
Thanks 🙏
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My pleasure, believe me!
I read no instructions or watched a video and it took me like 40 minutes to finally get that sucker back together last night. Mine is a MK7, bought it used and its brand new, someone probably took it apart and said forget this and sold it. Good for me as I got it for $350. I'm glad you made this video because I never want to go through that again.
Mike S It really works. Have you done it yet?
@@CitizenCarry Not yet, I'm likely going to shoot it tomorrow and then I will give it a go. Since, I did it last night its still too fresh in my mind to want to even go for it again. I have no doubts your method are solid and I will be employing them for certain.
🙏👍 thank you new k100 owner this helped a ton.
Excellent!! I’m glad to help!
Thanks to you and to the Tantric Buddist monks....I don't know if you could get the same help from Benedictine monks too! Maybe those tantric experts could teach you some other things if you asked! Thank for your video. Very useful.. Maybe this way to field stripping is a bit odd. It reminds me the way to disassembly the Walther PPK .
My pleasure, sir! In a way it’s like the PPK, but with added complicated twists.
I have tried to hold the barrel but not does work for me. Other you tubes does not show holding the barrel. However, the location of the slide to the frame was helpful. I thought that was were it was suppose to go but not sure even putting it together without a barrel and spring showed to be around that area. I have had this gun for over a year and love the gun. When it comes to putting it together it's a pain in the back side of my front. My fingers/arms are sore from wrestling with this thing. Instead of taking many attempts putting it together now only takes me about two or three. Thanks for your help.
1:55 disassembly
3:53 reassembly
I've just picked up a Grand Power K100 and, yes, the reassembly is a bit tricky compared to a Glock. In 2016, I spent four nights at a Buddhist monastery in northern Thailand (Tam Wua), but don't recall reassembly of a Grand Power as being part of any of the meditation sessions.
They just added the lessons because slide reassembly is an exercise is worldly patience!
I have the cp380 with a fixed barrel an it's a pain to reassemble! I noticed on reassembly you didn't pull the tabs down. Do you not have to? I can do it, but i have trouble getting the slide to go back in. Guess i'll keep practicing, but i'm gonna have to get another swear jar (my kids are getting rich off of this gun).
Brian West
Make sure you look where the frame tabs fit into the slide... for the 380 it might be just a little different.
With the CP380, it helps to hold the slide at a higher angle when you pull it back.
2improper. I have a question in regards to the mark 7 and the mark 12. STI GP6 and the K 100 Are they the same quality? Or are there difference at all between them.
borktown
i do believe they’re all the same quality. What I remember of the GP6 is that I think it had a slightly different finish.
The Mark VII takedown was with the cockoff trigger guard versus the newer ones take down with levers.
If I ever get this thing back together I’m throwing it in the deepest lake I can find.
Use the method in this video! It works all the time!
They taught you the wrong way. You hook the middle finger of your weak hand into the trigger guard and pull down the tabs with thumb and index finger. Then grab the slide at the rear serrations and point it muzzle down somewhat so the barrel stays forward position. Install slide onto guide rod and pull back as far as it will go, and remember to keep the disassembly tabs pulled down or the slide wont go back far enough, and lower the rear of the slide onto the rails. Just release and you are done. This is how Grand Power does it and no need for a table to rest the gun on. It is very simple. Most people have a problem because they arent pulling the slide all the way back which requires the tabs be out of the way. See how far the slide moves rearward with and without the tabs pulled. the tabs simply prevent the slide from moving all the way to the rear to clear the rails.
Jared Powell Ok!
@@CitizenCarry 100 % agree with the tabs, after I figured it out it kinda worked. I was ready to sell the gun after the first brake down. Thanks for the video, it helped to see how the slide gets lined up.
@@andreasw5266 I’m glad it helped!!
I’ve got a k100. I got it apart after about 12 attempts but haven’t gotten it reassembled after about 2 hours of trying. I have watched this video at least 10 time but have not been able to get it back together again. Not sure where I’m failing but gets frustrating. Any further tips.
Let gravity help you. Point the gun downward and you can reassemble without holding the barrel.
@@ottolatimer9175 thank you for responding. I will try that.
Ok it’s easy as pie “ IF YOU PULL FINGER GUARD OUT DISASSEMBLING-AND Re- ASSEMBLING” no one ever states this with the older k100 models without that fancy release button. Scary but pull guard out enough to hang itself up then install barrel.
Brad Distler Yup. The hard part has always been reassembly. After you do your MK 7 trigger guard OR your MK 12 levers.... that’s when this reassembly method comes into play. That’s the part that was giving people fits.
You can't trick
A tan trick.
Bud sips
Monks!
Or is it Monk sips Buds?
Either way,
Bud's none the Weiser!
Clyde's Dale
Everything's easy after the first thousand hours of practice!
Next time try ancient aliens...they know everything!
DISCO!
Paul Brown Ah yes! I forgot!!
GO even worse, try and take the extractor out, clean and put back in, NOW that is a utter ass!
Dumbest takedown and reassembly on any handgun. Too many simpler designs to struggle this much. Stupid.
Yeah, it’s a great gun and all, but you’d think the engineers would have stopped themselves when the process started to get unnecessarily specific about things.
