Description
The LP9M, boasting a substantial 5.17" barrel and a 13-round double-stack capacity, is a blow-back operated pistol featuring completely ambidextrous controls. Grand Power's distinctive approach involves machining the barrel to seamlessly integrate into a seemingly standard frame, complete with a CNC-machined stainless-steel chassis for internal components, removing the need for a pinned barrel. The LP9M magazines share the same bodies as typical 9mm Grand Power magazines but are modified with a spacer and shorter follower. This adaptation mirrors the practice employed by other manufacturers converting 9mm magazines to .380acp. The choice of 13 rounds stems from the unique characteristics of 9mm Makarov, a wider round with a 0.365" diameter, necessitating adjustments in magazine design. The LP9M is crafted to Grand Power’s high-quality standards and features an extended length slide and barrel, which promises to reveal enhanced energy performance compared to aging military surplus Makarov pistols.

LP9M
For being a blow-back firearm between an 380 and 9mm, it shots very smooth. Love the trigger, both in double and single action. If you are a fan of 9X18, this pistol is worth looking into.
