Though Slovakian manufacturer Grand Power is mainly known in this country for its rotary-barreled pistols, the company also makes the Stribog, a version of which was entered in the U.S. Army’s Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) competition. For civilians, the Stribog is available as a large-format pistol, a pistol-caliber carbine or a short-barreled rifle. Previously available only chambered in 9 mm Luger and .22 LR, new for 2024, Grand Power is offering the Stribog in 10 mm Auto and .45 ACP.
Like the latest version of the 9 mm Luger Stribog, the big-bore Stribogs use a roller-delayed blowback action. This begs comparison, of course, to the classic FBI MP5/10. The pistol’s other features follow those of the A3 versions of the Stribog. The aluminum receiver and handguard are monolithic, with a continuous M1913 Picatinny rail running along the top. A minimal backup iron sight system is built into the rail. A section of Picatinny rail is also present at the 6 o’clock position on the handguard section with M-Lok slots along the handguard’s sides.
Grand Power has added 10 mm Auto and .45 ACP options in its Stribog A3 large-format pistol.
The pistol’s grip, magazine well and fire control housing is an integral polymer unit. With the exception of the left-side only bolt release, all controls are ambidextrous with bilateral safety levers and magazine release buttons. A non-reciprocating charging handle can be switched to right or left side.
Both the 10 mm Auto and .45 ACP Stribogs have an 8” barrel with a threaded muzzle (0.578”x28 TPI for .45-cal. and 9/16x24 TPI for the 10 mm). They have an overall length of 16” and weigh 5.44 lbs. Metal-reinforced polymer magazines hold 20 rounds for either cartridge, and three magazines are supplied with each Stribog.
As a large-format pistol, the Stribog in 10 mm Auto or .45 ACP is available with an arm brace.
Stribog firearms are available in three formats. The first is a large-format pistol, with a section of Picatinny rail on the rear of the receiver for mounting accessories. It is available as a braced pistol, supplied with either a telescoping Tailhook brace or a side-folding SBT brace. Finally, it can be purchased as a short-barreled rifle (SBR) with a folding and telescoping stock (all NFA laws apply).
The Stribog is available as a short-barreled rifle (SBR) under the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA).
The Grand Power Stribog in 10 mm Auto and .45 Auto has an MSRP of $1,338 for the pistol version, $1,493 with the SBT brace, $1,690 with the Tailhook brace and $1,596 as a short-barreled rifle. For more information, visit the Global Ordnance website here.
