Grand Power K100 Target
Grand Power · Pistol · In Production
Also known as: K100 Target
Overview
The Grand Power K100 Target is a competition-oriented, adjustable-sight version of the Slovak K100 semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. Like the base K100, it uses Jaroslav Kuracina's distinctive rotating-barrel short-recoil locking system, which produces a low bore axis for reduced muzzle rise. The Target variant distinguishes itself with a micrometric fully adjustable rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight for precise sight alignment in sport and defensive-pistol shooting. It retains the DA/SA striker mechanism, polymer frame, stainless-steel slide with corrosion-resistant Tenifer QPQ treatment, ambidextrous controls and a 15-round magazine.

Notes
The Target model shares the standard K100 frame and 108 mm barrel but adds a micrometric adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front sight aimed at sport shooters.
Background
The K100's rotating-barrel action was sketched in 1992 by Jaroslav Kuracina, a former Slovak Army weapons officer, years before Grand Power began production in 2002 - the low-bore-axis design keeps the barrel closer to the shooter's hand than most conventional tilting-barrel pistols.
