Do they have a model with a safety or all of them have decockers?

OK folks, I'm going to ask for a simple favour here.

Stop flooding my e-mail, social media, and assorted PM boxes with the same question.
I get the enthusiasm, but this is entirely out of my hands.

We will ship the 10mm versions to the US just as soon as ATF give the OK.
Until that happens, every minute I spend on repeating the same message is a minute I'm not doing something productive.

Thanks for the update! I will try to keep close tabs for all the members here and relay things as they progress.

Might I suggest updating the situation occasionally? I checked the Grand Power facebook page, no updates. I looked around the web and I see things that are over 6 months old. If Grand Power would occasionally give updates on the status, people wouldn't have to ask a million questions.

You thing Grand Power is bad about updates? Try the people who keep on waiting for VLTOR to bring back the Bren Ten. They announced it YEARS ago, and they still haven't put them out! They always have lame excuses of why the project has been delayed about every 6 months.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Oh believe me I know, I was on their rear every week or two. I even told them to sell it to someone that freaking cares about the project. I have been saying it for years, but they need to contract the manufacturing out. Obviously they have no clue about making firearms at the level they want to. No manufacturer that I know of has taken as long as Vltor on a complete product just to do some minor tweaks.

As far as flooding your inbox, give us the appropriate person at the ATF to yell at over their inability to sign a freaking paper that says yes you can import the gun to the USA. I'll volunteer to send the first email.  Anymore the timeframe it takes to get the ATF to do anything is utterly ridiculous. They need to be disbanded IMO. If you cant do the job in a reasonable amount of time...

Let me ask a different question, since we are talking about being productive.

Has the 10mm Grand Power been tested with the high velocity 10mm loads? Underwood, Buffalo Bore, etc?

Inquiring minds want to know..

  I haven't seen any tests. I inquired about them doing it and measuring the brass. Supposedly no problem with SAAMI spec 10mm ammo.

I am wondering if the manufacturer put the gun through its paces with full power ammo.

   I don't think they have the ammo offerings we have here. When it's here and released I offered to send a selection for testing  ;)

   It needs to run everything I shoot in my others without issue... 135 Noslers, 200-230 Hardcast, etc...

I completely agree.
