The compact defensive pistol segment demands a balance of full-size performance in a smaller, duty-ready package. Experienced shooters and professionals look for ambidextrous controls, reliable lockup, and optics readiness without sacrificing ergonomics or trigger characteristics. The GRAND POWER Q1 MK23 answers those requirements with a design that shrinks the platform while retaining duty-level features.

Design and Controls

As a compact derivative of the Q100, the GRAND POWER Q1 MK23 preserves the ergonomics and reliability expected from Grand Power while trimming size for concealed carry or tight-duty use. The fully ambidextrous controls make the pistol intuitive for both left- and right-handed shooters; slide stop, magazine release, and safety/decocker (as configured) are mirrored for fast, consistent manipulation.

Action, Locking, and Optics Ready

The Q1 introduces an all new barrel locking mechanism engineered to provide consistent lockup at compact dimensions — a technical advantage that improves accuracy and longevity under duty use. Being red dot ready out of the box removes guesswork for mounting miniature reflex sights, shortening the path from purchase to a practical, sighted system.

Ergonomics and Grip Treatment

An enhanced grip texture and footprint balance control with comfort. Grand Power’s attention to hand fit helps shooters manage recoil and transition targets efficiently, a hallmark feature carried over from the full-size platform into this compact frame. Model options are listed as Various, and caliber is not specified on the product page, so verify preferred configuration when ordering.
