My Grand_Power X-CALIBER came with a little hex key/mult-tool, and a user guide in a nice box, Plus an π muzzle tip, which easily came off with a wrench after I used a heat gun on the silver barrel.
Canadian Laws do not require orange muzzle tips on any "AirGun or airsoft gun" with a muzzle velocity above 366 fps(.20gram BB).
The Grand Power X-Caliber 6mm BB Co2 pistol is considerably more powerful than the Laws require, but this airsoft gun must have been imported to North America, and into Canada, thru the USA, where Laws require that bright π tip attached to the muzzle regardless of power level or muzzle velocity.
Canada considers all Airguns with a muzzle velocity below 500 fps & muzzle energy below 5.7 joules/4.2 foot-pounds, to be classified as "Uncontrolled Firearms" that don't require a gun license to purchase & own.
Buyers of sub-500fps airguns must be 18 year of age or older.
Airsoft guns, like my Tolmar/Grand Power X-CALIBER and my SocomGear Kel-Tec PMR-30 (muzzle velocity: 500 fps) are legally classified as "Sub-500 fps" Airguns, and not "airsoft" guns...it sucks when lawmakers make such a fun hobby/Pastime so darn complicated!
Now without that orange eye sore this Slovakian pistol looks exquisite π«π«π«π«π«π«π«that is one heck of a stylish silver plated, fluted barrelπ
Just like some other Tolmar air pistols, such as my ISSC M22, the magazine is an all metal, full size, drop free, "ammo + Co2" type of magazine that uses the trigger to move the Co2 tube into the breach to help seal the breach after loading the round.
It doesn't add much to the trigger pull at all!
I even find double action to be very smooth and light.
The open sights are some of the best that I have ever aimed with on the dozens of air pistols I have handled and own, over the past 30+years.
The front sight is fixed with a fiber optic insert, and the rear is adjustable for elevation & windage, just like the 9x19 cartridge version of this pistol.
I chronographed this Co2 pistol earlier today and 12 round magazine of .25 gram BB's averaged 445 fps.
.12 gram BB's hit up to 575 fps, and .20 gram are as high as 490 fps...
The best thing is that this co2 pistol can handle 1 gram/15.43 grain steel balls and I have recorded velocities as high as 325 fps!!
Even though my GP X-CALIBER is the Non-blowback (NBB) version of the pistol, it is really nice to have the functional slide.
If for nothing else, but to admire the silver plated fluted outer barrel!
There are many similarities between my Walther PPQ M2 T4E .43 caliber Riot-Ball Pistol and this Grand-Power X-Caliber.
The WARNING text markings on sidthe right side of the polymer frame are placed in the same spot, and even look to be identical.

This is a somewhat obscure Airsoft/AirGun replica Co2 pistol here in Canada, and so, just like my SiG Sauer P-250ASP , ISSC M22, Ekol ES66 & Kel-Tec PMR-30 plus the Anics Skif A3000 and IZH-BAIKAL mp-651k, and some others, this Grand_Power X-CALIBER is destined to have a place in my permanent collection π«π«π«π«π«π«π«π«
