GRAND POWER USA
The company that produces the Stribog SP9A1Pistol is Grand Power Manufacturing, based in Slovakia. The company founder, Jaroslav Kuracina, had a dream of designing & building firearms. After suffering many setbacks, his dream was realized and the SP9A1, along with many other models, was born.
After years of working with Grand Power on large contracts, including the hugely successful U.S. Army Sub-Compact Weapons Program, Global Ordnance, LLC became the new U.S. distributor for the Grand Power brand. Global Ordnance, based in Sarasota, Fl, is the company that sources and provides ammunition, weapons, and energetic materials to the U.S. D.O.D.
