NOT a carbon copy - Grand Power Q100 MK23 Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- The Grand Power MK23 isn't exactly like every other striker on the market - in fact - it's nothing like the other guns in the segment. Using a rotating action and having the exact same ergonomics as it's hammer fired brethren - the Q100 MK23 stands out in a sea of clones. Stay tuned for a review of the Grand Power Q100 MK23.
Thanks to Global Ordnance for providing the pistol for video and Igman ammunition.

You did Graham proud!
Very cool! I appreciate reviews of less common gats. Would love to see a comparison between the different Beretta and GP rotating-barrel pistols.
Great review of this pistol. I have been interested in a polymer hammer fired pistol such as the HK P30, CZ P07, and the Beretta PX4 but they all require after market slide milling, which increases the cost of the pistol. I ended up getting the Grand Power K100 Mk23. I haven’t fired it yet, but using a G-Sight laser cartridge the pistol points and aims superbly. I did master the reassembly after practicing it for several days. Overall it’s a very uniquely designed pistol and it’s always great to get something a little different than getting more of what you already have.
Please please please do a head to head with the Px4 COMPACT (not the full size).
As always, your channel is top notch. One of maybe three channels where I watch every video!!
But it has the size of the Px4
Universal light holsters for guns like this is the way.
As an proud owner of three different grand powers, including the 380, which is not a rotating I can say that the workmanship is excellent shooting experience soft, and the result accurate. I highly recommend these guns.
With all of that said the takedown is a major pain in the ass. It’s not simply lifting over the rails, lifting over the rails and exactly the right angle. Sometimes it’s easier than others. Sometimes I put it back in the safe in pieces so I can come back to it again next time.
The GP mag followers have a nub on the bottom that limits them to 15. Cut it off and they will hold 16 . Theyre mec gar made and identical to CZ 75 mags that also hold 16 so guessing this was some restricted state BS they did to sell in more states
I had the original Q100 and sold it because I wanted to get into red dots. Miss that gun this next gen looks awesome.
Thanks for the video and covering the Grand Powers! Any reason to get this over the K100 da/sa version? Pretty sure they are nearly identical size/frame and cost?
I snagged a mk12 for cheap recently… the gun is surprisingly often. If they ever release the subcompact in the states I’m going to have to grab that too
They do make a compact version, with a 3.7 inch barrel. I just snagged one and it is sweeeet !!!
@@joesapienza8121 not talking about the p1… talking about the p1s which I haven’t seen on the market here. Shorter frame, 12rd mags
@@ImOldGregg It exists if you look for it, and in the MK23 variation. There is also an MK12 version on Gunbroker right now that is a decocker model. My hesitancy is that it's almost the exact same size as a PX4 compact with three fewer rounds. Height-wise it's also close to a CZ P-01. (I researched this via Handgun Hero, they don't have the MK23 models on there yet, but they do have the MK12s and what you'll want to compare is the P11). Granted it's far cheaper than either of those models when you factor in the extra cost to get similar trigger performance and an optics cut, but I'm not sure it's worth getting this model over the P1 or even the K100. Furthermore, the P1 is very close in size to the CZ S2C, just a hair taller and the K100 has the same height but is just a bit longer on the barrel/slide.
@@kayinvanderkill they havent released the mk23 subcompact versions yet stateside, but global ordinance told me they were by year end. You're right in that the issue with these guns is mag capacity for their frame size
I recently bought a Grand Power P1 MK23. I love it. So I designed and printed some holsters for it. A version with a claw to make it easier to conceal carry and another one without the claw. I've been carrying mine for a few weeks now and I think it is comfortable.

Love mine also!!!!
I have the P1 MK23. Very accurate!!!!
Crossbreed Holsters makes one for the K100, which is the same gun except hammer fired, the plugs are replaced with flat safety dingies
I believe in your video on the X-Calibur you said you can change the magazine follower and spring and get extra rounds in there, so I'm suspicious that the 15 round grip is there because 15 is the max for IPSC not because that's the most it could hold.
Apx a1 Holsters actually fit pretty well.
I honestly enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it never even heard of the firearm sparked my interest.!
Red Hill Tactical makes holsters for them.
If you keep the gun, you can get Traction grips for a K100. They are cheap and help with the side grip.
Also looks rad with the rds and light. The dot sits quite high. Would be cool if @holosun made an eps for it. The dingus has a stronger spring giving it the two stage feel, the break is lighter.
I have a px4 compact carry and love it. Do the grand power pistols have the same recoil impulse since the barrel action is now more or less the same as the storm? I want to get a gsd from Langdon but they ain’t cheap.
🇺🇸
have xcalibur co match, 3k rounds, 0 issues, great gun!!!
What if Beretta redesigned the PX4 as a striker gun? Add clearance on the slide to sink a red dot. They could "borrow" a precocked striker design. Maybe redesign the new 380 grip around a modern carry gun 9mm 15rd small mag. Mill a divot at the end of the barrel.
Interesting concept. Good review, man. 👍🏻
Just from the video 4:23 it looks quite snappy. Looks like the new mechanism changed the recoil a lot.
MK12 trigger sucked. It was light but had horrible long reset. I'd like to think i had something to do with them improving the trigger 😅
I'm waiting for the new Arex series to come out.
They are a joy to shoot and the quality is impressive.
Holsters are same for mk12 and mk23, will fit either of them no worries.
Great review. I just bought my first Grand Power not long ago: the GP 40 10mm 4.2" barrel & it's waiting at my FFL for me. I'm interested to see how the rotating barrel effects on a cartridge such as the almighty 10.
I think the mag follows have a little piece that if you cut it off with a pair of side cutters the stock mags will hold 17 rounds.
Near all kydex holsters lock on the trigger guard or light. I'd be surprised if this didn't fit the old holsters.
I have been torn between the Q100 mk23 and the K100 mk23. I was interested in a hammer fire so i was looking into the K100 but the Q100 is really impressive. Here's my question. Why is it that Hammer fire pistols don't have a flat trigger? Looking at the CZ's Berettas, etc..every hammer fire is a big old curve trigger. Just curious.
Great review. Thank you!
You mean that has the slide ribs like a Walther PDP 😂
I have buyer’s remorse after I attempted to mount a red dot on the MK23 K100 pistol. The installation of a red dot nullifies the iron sights as they are too small. For an optics ready duty pistol this is a significant design flaw that should have been covered during your review of this pistol. It will be demoted to a range toy pistol or sold off. I’m not a TH-cam content creator, but I did reach out to Global Ordinance to see if Grand Power engineers can design a rear sight for this pistol that is Suppressor height since the rear sight is a proprietary part. Apparently the front sight can be replaced with a CZ part but time will tell. It will be interesting to see if Grand Power is genuinely focused on supporting their customers or if they’re just making a cash grab for money and not building customer loyalty.😢😢😢
Plate No. 1 = Vortex Venom/DocterNoblex/MeoRed 30
Plate No. 2 = Trijicon RMR
Plate No. 3 = CMORE STS2
Plate No. 4 = Shield SMS
0:15 sooo , can a rotating barrel will be ported?
I have both and they fit in the same holsters
So, how’d you compare this to say the PDP-F?
Never heard of this gun company, but that gun looks awesome.
Stribog
Kinda interested in the shorter barreled mk23 Q1. I think the slide mass has gone up in the new generation surprisingly, i think GB Guns broke out the scale to compare..... Ive added mass to the previos generations slide in the form of an optic without adding additional traction to the grip and it kinda ruined the magic a bit.
OMG just because it holds 15(16) rounds, does not make it G19 lower size. It is G17 size overall + it is thicker. Lower is the same as Xcalibur.
If they made the Q100 with an all steel frame with a full rail, would shoot sweet, I bet.
Could you please measure and tell me what the trigger pull reach is?
I've been thinking of getting one. For me, it's down to the dot. If I want to put one on or want the option..The new ones are certainly prettier. Great video. What you think with the comparison to the Mk23 to the 12?
More companies need to make rotating barrel designs. They seem much flatter shooting
No they dont
Im going to get one of these
Thank you!
What's your current ccw?
For the rare PX4 guys that want optics but don't want to pay Langdon prices. Forget CZ, this is the manbun chef's kiss 🤌
If I'm going this route with what is A more obscure gun in the U.S. I wint A 5-6 inch barrel preferably threaded. IMO Glock should make A slimmed and slicked G34 slide on A G48 lower. Imprint of this gun is still too big probably 7-8 months per year in the southern U.S.
Assembly is even harder than disassembly. Otherwise a great gun.
Agreed.
Whatever happened to that Strike one pistol? Didn’t that have rotating barrel as well?
No. It used the Bergmann system which has a vertically moving locking block.
Hey Marksman Love you reviews but that seems like all you do now, and it's been a lot of high-end normal guy can't afford type pistols lately except for today's $600 exception. When I first started following you it was how to fix IDPA how to fix USPSA. I guess you're really hooked into the gun culture now and don't want to piss off any of the big entities like you didn't seem to before. I would love love love to know what you think about what's going on with USPSA. I bet you have a unique insight I guess you're just afraid to share it?? Or are you just a gun reviewer now. I think your expertise would be appreciated and personally I'd love to see it.
This channel is gun review stuff - my other channel is low effort practical shooting stuff. The two weren’t mixing well.
My podcast is where my hot takes get published at this point. I don’t grandstand on social media because nothing really gets done that way but have a lot of targeted conversations privately than just putting people on blast.
Thanks!
Grand Powers are a giant PITA to put the slide back on after cleaning. That's why I sold mine and will never buy another.
Yeah kind of
Looks like a nice shooter, but those frame plugs are really lame and cheesy.
So cool
Thanks for the review & I love your Dad jokes. You should write a book. 😉
all magazines should be 20-25 bucks. this 35-100 bucks for a mag is stupid!
I was just thinking, I'd like to see your review in comparison with a PX Storm ! Haha 😆 ❤. OMG THAT'S UGLY 😵💫
👍
😎
😊😊👍🏼👍🏼
Real men don't use 2 hand holds.😊
"What if it had a hammer fired frame?" Then it would have (has) a needlessly higher bore axis, just like the P320.
Doesn’t it already use a frame that was converted from hammer fired, hence the plugs where the safety would go on the version that is hammer fired?
@@johndilday1846 It does. I copied the quote from the video. The presenter uses the line (mimicking an ad style) as though there is something special and desirable about a hammer-fired frame, when in fact the only difference is the [completely negative] one I noted.
Wow a gun that isn't >$1k. How you gift us peasants.
Just for that snark next weeks video is on a $6600 pistol
@@TheHumbleMarksman😂
@@TheHumbleMarksman LOL. You're alright.
I'm surprised it's priced so reasonable
But why sooooooooo ugly?
