Description
The Q1, a compact iteration stemming from our successful Q100 striker-fire model, caters to concealed carry in both civilian and professional realms. A striker-fired semi-automatic pistol, the Q1 boasts a smooth flat trigger for precise shots even in high-stress situations. Its trigger incorporates an autonomous safety mechanism, eliminating the need for manual engagement. Augmenting safety, an automatic feature prevents accidental discharges. In line with GRAND POWER’s design philosophy, the Q1 employs a unique barrel rotation locking mechanism, reducing recoil, enhancing accuracy, and minimizing muzzle flip. The Q1’s barrel rotation, achieved through a combination of a rolling pin and a specially curved surface, ensures reliability even in harsh conditions, fortifying resilience against failures. Crafted with excellence, the Q1 features a polymer grip housing a steel insert, constituting the frame. State-of-the-art technology and top-notch materials extend to other components, such as the slide machined from a single piece of steel and the bushing-less bull barrel. Fully ambidextrous controls and 3 interchangeable backstraps cater to diverse user preferences. Whether seeking a concealable everyday carry or a reliable service firearm, the Q1 stands out for its excellent range performance, making it an ideal choice.

Good Value
Just to preface - I have not fired the weapon yet. In terms of value - I mean for $300, you can’t go wrong. It’s bigger than you would think. Maybe slightly larger than and as bulky as a G19 since that’s what everything is compared to. It seems well made. No rattles, slide play, or exterior tooling or machine marks. I haven’t opened it up yet to examine its build quality from the inside. It racks easy and has a great trigger for a brand new weapon. It’s definitely a fully-cocked striker design unlike a Glock. It’s fully ambi, which I like. It was absolutely slimy from the factory. I’ve never seen a firearm so completely coated in grease. It makes me wonder about its rust resistance but who knows. Overall, I’m happy with it. It has a novel lock up, internal extractor and is made in a country that you don’t see often, so it’s a novel and ‘exotic’ but affordable European pistol. It comes with three mags, which is a nice touch. I’d probably opt for the newer Q1S for the smaller size and grippier slide but I am excited to get out to the range.

Grand Power Q1
Global Ordnance has a killer price on these Mk12 Q1's. There are are so many things to like about this pistol...Two things I love are the grips and how the gun feels in my hand, the other is a fantastic trigger it's smooth with a great pull weight and clean break. The folks at GO are great to deal with.

Q1
In a sea of polymer striker 9mm, the Q1 is different. Quirky but a good 9mm.

Grand Power Q1-GPQ1
Typical grand power accuracy in a compact package.

Grand Power Q1 MK 12
This is my second Grand Power pistol. I love my K100 so I wanted to try a striker version. What a steal for $299.00! Mine came with a Mk 23 style rear sight so I was even happier when I opened the box. The trigger is easily the best in its class. Super accurate, reliable, and fun to shoot! My new favorite.

Q1
Outstanding pistol. Rotating barrel allows quick follow up shots. Worked flawlessly with all types of ammo. Sights will be replaced as soon as I can find a fiber optic front sight for it.

Still a Winner
Don't let the age of this model fool you, it does possess the same 2nd Gen improvements that graced the Q100... namely the blackened barrel, improved flat bladed trigger and upgraded accessories kit which does include three 15 rnd mags, backstraps, alternate front sight, cleaning brush and courtesy trigger lock. This is the LOWEST price you will find even used and.... sorry to say this guys, but at less than half the cost, this OG version is a better value than the new MK23!

Q1 Mk 12 is good to go!
As a longtime Grand Power fan I wanted to pick up another of the Mk 12 models at a discounted price before they’re no longer available. I’m very happy with it and performance at the range was great, just like my other Grand Power models. Highly recommend!

Rotating Barrel
I just picked the Q1 up from my FFL, so haven't shot it yet. Trigger feels good, though the over travel is a little long, but it is perfect for a defensive weapon. The grip seems a little slick, as I prefer more abrasive feel. Nothing a little grip tape can't fix. Great gun though. Are the sights compatible with ant other gun, someone said the CZ 75 aftermarket sights work for the front but wasn't sure about the rear?
