Mostly shooting models are bought with basic equipment. However, this order of things does not suit everyone. Therefore, most owners of various pistols and carbines try to improve their weapons through various modifications, thus carrying out tuning.
"Grand Power T12" among the various shooting models for self-defense, produced in Russia, is considered one of the best. The pistol is certified as an OOP, that is, it is a firearm with limited damage. Information about the device, technical characteristics and tuning of the Grand Power T12 pistol is contained in the article.
Introduction
Grand Power T12 is a traumatic pistol created on the basis of T10, a shooting model by weapons engineer Yaroslav Kuratsin. In the modernized version of the injury, shooting is carried out with a new cartridge, the use of which solved the problem of feeding ammunition into the chamber. According to experts, the new weapon has an increased overallfiring efficiency.
The main design feature of the T12 is that there are no partitions and pins in the barrel channel, which are typical for traumatic products.
About ammunition
Specially for the T12, Russian gunsmiths have developed 10x28T cartridges. This ammunition, due to the small difference in length, unlike the popular 9x19 live ammunition, is convenient for adapting to any combat pistol model. The rifle unit is subject to only minor design amendments. Since more than one type of 9-mm RA cartridges with different power is presented to the attention of buyers on the shelves of specialized stores, the shooter is forced to regularly replace the return spring in order to prevent malfunctions during the operation of the weapon.
There is only one type of cartridges 10x28T. By choosing this ammunition, the owner saves himself from having to perform tuning of the Grand Power T12 regarding the replacement of the return spring. Judging by the numerous reviews, this ammunition is powerful enough to hit a person in winter clothes from a distance of 5 m.
About the gun
All the advantages of the new ammunition are made possible by the special design of the barrels. Initially, one barrier was located in the barrel channel, which occupied 30% of its diameter. Then the gunsmiths carried out Grand Power tuning and equipped the pistol with a smooth barrel with a smooth narrowing between the chamber and the muzzle. The purpose of these modifications is to eliminatethe ability to fire live ammunition. Thanks to barrel tuning, "Grand Power T12" has an extended service life and successfully competes with other traumatic shooting models.
About materials used
When choosing materials for the manufacture of trauma components, the manufacturer pursues the goal - to create a weapon with the lightest possible weight. In addition, the rifle unit must be practical, reliable and with a high working resource. For the manufacture of pistol frames, modern high-quality plastic is used. For the production of valves, a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy is used, which is hardened and then subjected to cementing, oxidation and nitriding procedures. For frames, bolt cases, barrels and trigger mechanisms, a special innovative composition is provided, thanks to which the parts of the pistol do not wear out and do not rust.
About design
Trauma is equipped with a double-action trigger mechanism. Since the pistol chamber is equipped with special pins on both sides, firing solid objects from it is excluded. Rubber shells, passing through a long smooth barrel, are stabilized, which had a positive effect on the accuracy of the battle.
In order to prevent skewing of the ammunition, the owners are tuning the "Grand Power T12 FM1", modifying the track in the feeders. The price of the shutter delay is 4 thousand rubles. Coil-spring gun made using high-strength spring steel.
Unlike T10tuning "Grand Power T12" provides for modified fuse levers. Due to a different fixation of the levers, with a sufficiently worn pistol, independent activation of the fuse is excluded. To deactivate it, the shooter needs to slide the lever down with his thumb.
Judging by consumer reviews, pistols are convenient for both right-handed and left-handed people. Many owners change the uncomfortable regular "humped" grips on the handles. In St. Petersburg, tuning "Grand Power T12" can be purchased for 1200 rubles. According to consumers, with direct overlays, the weapon lies in the hand much more comfortably.

The weapon will look more spectacular if the handle is additionally equipped with milled metal heels.
According to the reviews of the owners,which replaced the standard plastic heels with metal ones, the removal of an empty magazine due to the increased weight is much faster.
