Grendel Inc., founded by George Kellgren, was a Florida firearms company which produced polymer framed semi-automatic pistols from 1987 to 1994.[1] Zytel was used for grips, magazines, and furniture while slides, barrels, slide rails, and other high-pressure parts were manufactured using LaSalle Stressproof steel.[2]
Grendel P10 - introduced in 1988, the P10 is a .380 double action only with no levers with rudimentary sights and had a large trigger guard.
