Grand Power P40 10mm -- meh.

[Sonny10MM]

Well, my P40 has the same mag drop issues. I sent it off to the gunsmith a week ago. Crossing my fingers he can get a fix for it. Otherwise it's a 800.00 paperweight!

Any updates?

I was about to pull the trigger on gunbroker and buy one a few days ago. I picked up two new Witness pistols this week (haha got my tax return) and was looking at a Gen4 Glock  20 or the P40. My friend Jason got his Grand Power yesterday and took it to the range. He is experiencing the same mag drop issue as well as failure to feed problems simliar to Witness pistols from back in 2001-2005. He also says the gun feels "clunky" like it's not put together very well. External moving parts rattle when he shakes the gun (slide release especially).

They obviously have issues to work out on these. I'll wait a few years to see if they fix their QA.

Sad to hear this about yet another one not functioning 100%. Pretty much solidified my decision to stick with Witness pieces.

It's been 4 weeks now since I sent mine back and I still haven't heard anything.

[10Tens]

I'm still waiting on any news....

It's been 5 weeks now so I called Colorado Gun Works to see what is going on. The guy said they have a couple P40's, including mine, where the magwell is too big for the mags, leaving a lot of play. He said they are waiting for the factory to tell them how to proceed. He said they may replace the whole gun or maybe just the plastic grip frame. He also said the factory had been closed for 2 weeks but was back open now and they expected to have an answer some time next week.

Wow, I can't wait to hear what the factory has to say. I sent mine in for the same reason but sent it to the authorized shop in Minnesota only because it was closer to me. They turned it around in just about a week with a work ticket stating "fit magazine catch body". Whatever they did worked.

Good to hear, I wonder there there was just a sprue on it, that would explain mine and others possibly.

I just took the base pad off my friends magazine and inserted it into the mag well. Holy hell. There's a huge gap on each side. It swings like a bell inside the mag well. Almost 1/16 inch gap on all 4 sides. That can't be safe. No wonder it dislodged from the mag catch. Probably swings right off while firing. They don't need to be snug but that much play is ridiculous.

Ok, now I really have to take a closer look at mine to see if there is any sign of what the Gunsmith did to mine. I looked it over pretty good when I got it back but was concentrating on the release tab.

[Big10]

Decided to try another 150 rounds today to see if the gun would finally "break-in" like some others here thought happened for them.  No joy.      All seemed good with the first 90 of rounds (S&B 180gn) but the last 10 it dropped the mag twice.  When I went to Sig Elite 180gn, it just got worse.  And I'm 100% positive I did not hit the mag release.  Which makes me believe that under heavy recoil, the mag shakes free.

I'm debating putting the HDPE tape on the back of the mag.  I looked for my supply in the basement and can't find it, so I might have to order it.   

I may end up just sending it in for repair, which is ultimately where this is going to end up anyway.

[10Tens]

Yup. Mine still at the service center in OR.
But I do recall to much slop between mag and mag well. Sux. Hope for a recall!

[Intercooler]

I had my K100 9mm out again today. Shooting great! It's sad something is up with some of the 10's.

[gcw16]

I have a K100 and an Xcalibur and haven't had any problems with either one, just the P40.

[SavageOne]

Was shooting my P40 10mm Sunday. No issues.
