The HK Mark 23 delivers the proven performance that made it the choice of U.S. Special Operations Command for over two decades. This full-size tactical pistol combines HK's legendary reliability with modern features including a threaded barrel for suppressor compatibility and integrated accessory rail.
What Makes This Different
Built to SOCOM specifications, the Mark 23 exceeds standard commercial pistol requirements with enhanced corrosion resistance and a 30,000-round service life rating. The match-grade barrel and precision manufacturing deliver consistent 2-inch groups at 25 yards. Unlike standard 1911-pattern pistols, the Mark 23 features a polymer frame that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity under extreme conditions.
Key Features
- Threaded 5.87-inch barrel with 16x1 LH threads accepts suppressors and muzzle devices
- 12+1 capacity with .45 ACP chambering for maximum stopping power
- Black Cerakote finish on serrated steel slide resists corrosion and wear
- OD Green polymer frame with textured grip surfaces ensures secure handling
- MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail accommodates tactical lights and lasers
- Ambidextrous safety and magazine release for left and right-handed shooters
- Three-dot luminous sights for low-light target acquisition
The Mark 23 functions reliably in temperatures from -40°F to +140°F and continues operating after exposure to sand, mud, and saltwater. The recoil-operated system cycles consistently with both standard and subsonic ammunition. Law enforcement agencies report minimal maintenance requirements even with high-volume training schedules.
