Grand Power Stribog SP9A1

[Stickman]

Isn’t it already in use elsewhere?

Yes, my understanding is that its been in use in Europe for a year or two.

Seeing this jump in price to $1,000, and the current ones being $300 cheaper, I'm not sure they are doing themselves a service. Bumping the price up $100, or so dollars wouldn't be much of an issue, then raise it again in the next shipments. However, raising the price $300 right away? Thats not a good move in my mind, at least not unless they have something else to justify it other than an inline production change.

Sorry, I’m a noob to the euro guns. Can someone help to clarify on the non-reciprocating charging handle? Different sources say different things, that I’ve found at least. From what I’m seeing:

Gen 1 - moves
Gen 2 - does not move (is this an A2?)
A3 - will not move

Thanks!

A1 Gen 1 - reciprocating charging handle
A1 Gen 2 - non-reciprocating charging handle
A3 - I imagine non-reciprocating charging handle, but also delayed blowback

Stick,
Too lazy to go back and read my prior questions...

But, I am curious what height red dot mounts match up (or how they match up) with the built-in flip up sights.

Pretty lazy myself, but the largest issue i find is using a pistol configuration as opposed to a stock. I can’t tell if a stock would come up higher, or not, which makes figuring the sights out a bit odd. I just put AR height sights on everything and modify my cheek weld as needed.

Hmm. OK. I had picked up a QD low mount to use with an MRO while waiting to pick up a Scorpion. This Stribog really has seized my interest, though. I’ll probably just wait and play around with different heights to see what works. I would prefer to get the Zhukov-S stock, but I live next to a state that does not permit SBR’s. Keeping as a handgun just makes more sense.

Thanks JediGuy. That was mostly what I was seeing, but I was getting conflicting info.

So for the sake of brevity, the Gen 2s seem to be running pretty well? Non-reciprocating handle and the guide rod issue is rectified? Only thing to conscious of is the occasional failing magazine?

I appreciate I’ll of the input. So many threads to read, so little time...
