Eagle arms now offers theslovakian manufacturedgrand power p11 mk12 sub compact 9mm pistol in the united states. This is great news for those looking for a da/sa, hammer fired, fully ambidex trous pistol for personal defense or concealed carry. Grand power has been manufacturing firearms in slovakia since 2002. Each pistol is assembled by an expert armorer by hand who applies his stamp on each pistol he builds.
There are many philosophies regarding the “correct” gun for concealed carry. Some profess, “if it isn’t a .45, it’s not big enough.” Others say smaller is better because they are easier to conceal. While yet others insist that it is the best combination (compromise?) of caliber and size (mid-caliber/mid-size).
My belief is that the best concealed carry gun is the one that you have with you and know how to use without hesitation. This philosophy means that if you don’t have it with you, or aren’t proficient with it, it won’t do you any good when the “excrement hits the air distribution device.” Therefore, one pistol may not be right for all occasions.
If it is cool out, and you are wearing bulky clothing, a larger pistol may work. If it is warm out and you are dressed lightly, a slimline micro pistol may be best. If you have a mid-size or large-frame pistol you enjoying shooting at the range, and you are proficient with it, that may be a better choice than the slimline micro pistol you haven’t quite mastered yet.
The Grand Power P11 Mk12 in 9mm (9x19 Luger) is the one in the middle; not a full-frame 1911 in .45 ACP or a slimline, micro pistol in .380 auto.
OVERVIEW
The P11 Mk12 is a subcompact, double action (DA) first shot, single action (SA) for subsequent shots, hammer fired, double stack, 9mm pistol. It has a capacity of 12 rounds in the magazine and 1 round in the chamber. Unique to the Grand Power series of pistols is the rotary operation of the barrel, which helps manage recoil for quicker and more accurate follow-up shots. This pistol also features ambidextrous controls (slide lock/release, safety, and magazine release) for easy handling.
