    In this video we shoot and discuss the H&K Mark 23. This is a highly accurate handgun, much more accurate than we can show in this video however it is not very commonplace here in the US save for use in Hollywood. While not terribly practical, we enjoyed taking the Mark 23 out to the range to have some fun and show it off a bit. Stay tuned, much more on the way.

    The mark 23 was built to be able to take accurate head shots at upwards of 100 meters with the LAM module. It had to be able to run and run and run. 12+1 rounds of 45 ACP in something 35% more accurate more than makes up for 3 less rounds. HK mark 23 would be my go to war option if I could only have 1 pistol.

It's also equipped with a LAM (Laser Aiming Module) for nighttime combat. If you find a SOCOM suppressor, you can equip that, too. That pistol was designed specifically for use by special forces, so I think it will be useful. Some people find it a little heavy and hard to use, but it shouldn't be a problem for you.”

    • @bfairfax8772
      @bfairfax8772 7 лет назад +1

      +Imperator Phil You get what you pay for if you want a high quality weapon it cost ,less expensive weapons are generally less expensive for a reason , either they're mass produced or the quality control isn't as good as the higher end manufacturers. The FNX45 & USP45 is actually a better comparison and even though the USP is a very old design it's at least as good if not better. The Mark 23 is practically a one off in the # that H&K produces them .They where designed for a specific military contract with specific terms, conditions and parameters.

    • @bfairfax8772
      @bfairfax8772 7 лет назад

      It kinda depends on what you want it for . No a civilian buyer isn't likely to be buying it for it's original intended purpose . But on the other hand an H&K collector may be buying it just because of that purpose and because it's a great gun that has very low production #'s so you know it'll hold it's value. If I wanted an H&K to carry around I'd carry one of the ones I own , the P30SK or P2000SK and if I need a duty weapon I'd carry my Sig 226 or my P2022 TB . But since I've been out of the service for 20yrs my tours of duty are long since over unless the Zombies come LOL.

    • @bfairfax8772
      @bfairfax8772 7 лет назад

      No problem hey some of the companies that make higher end guns with very low #'s are great investments . Guns hold there value much better than most stocks are much less likely to tank on you and become worth less than you paid for them. If your careful you can and should use them . I think there even better than collector cars but that's my opinion it's probably about the same.

    This pistol is so legendary. It really is the do all be all pistol! People really over blow it’s size so far out of proportion, everyone exaggerates how big it is. It is exactly 20% larger than a Glock 17. It’s shorter than a 6” revolver that almost every cowboy carried back in the day. But, for some reason the Mark 23 is labeled as unwieldy and just too large. When really, It’s not too large at all.. it is accurate, effective, with all of its reliably extremeness.

    Very nice footage at 5:06. You can see the multistage buffer system at work:
    1. Slide and barrel start to move, the guide rod stays in place (main recoil spring is compressed).
    2. Barrel hits the guide rod at the inner cam and the rod moves back (the strong but small secondary spring is compressed now).
    3. Secondary spring pushes the barrel and guide rod forward again.
    4. Slide hits the guide rod at the bushing and the secondary spring gets compress one more time (so the rod moves back one more time)
    5. Secondary spring makes the slide going forward (as the guide rod, too).
    6. Main recoil spring makes the rest of barrel and slide going back into battery.
    This is the special system used in all full size USP pistols. Other guns like Glock 17 or Sig P226 don’t have such system, they have a simple one stage recoil system (the guide rod stays in the same place all the time).

    I absolutely love my Mark 23. You can definitely make a 1 hole group at 10 yards if you don't get in the way of the pistol. You're right Eric, if you miss, it's you! Very soft shooting too, due to the patented recoil reduction system. Chad, I believe you will change your mind, It'll grow on you. Although I don't have one yet, there is an extended magazine available through H&K parts as well as a Rail adapter that'll allow you to fit most Picatinny optics such as Surefires to it. Great review gentlemen!

    @spencer848 7 лет назад +6

    The SOCOM contract called for a separate decocker and safety. The Mark 23 is a pistol designed by a bunch of guys behind a desk for someone else to use. I agree with one poster on HKpro who said that the USP is what the Mark 23 should have been. I only own a Mark 23 however. Because of everything it was put through in testing it is one of the most amazing pistol on the planet to me. I don't want a USP. The Mark is capable of far more than I will ever use it for and will do all I need a pistol to do except conceal.

    • @FiveTwoSevenTHR
      @FiveTwoSevenTHR 7 лет назад +1

  • @roushspeedfreak1989
    @roushspeedfreak1989 7 лет назад +15

    Really the price isn't out of the question. People pay much more for "premium" 1911's and they don't hold a candle to the Mark 23. Some have marginally better accuracy but they are still jamomatics. The Mark 23 is the ultimate .45 semi-auto pistol. I can't imagine any other .45 surviving 30,000 + rounds of +P+ .45 ENTIRELY suppressed. The accuracy and reliability of this gun just isn't trumped.

    The Mark23 uses the same magazines as the USP 45. The only difference is the base plate. The reason the Mk23 is bigger in the hand is because the polymer is thicker then that of the USP.
    Also, while big compared to modern pistols it still is way more ergonomic then a Desert Eagle, far more accurate, and reliable.

    i've shot everything from El Cheapo military surplus to JHP+P, could you guess how many failure to fire, extract, or feed i've had ? none, nul, nada.
    see it this way, it's the accuracy of the finest tuned 1911 with the reliability of an AK-47. it's the type of gun you wanna have if you had to go through hell, cause it's very likely it could bring you back.
