Thanks for the offer... but I plan to shoot the shit out of this one until it finally fails on me,

You can't go wrong with an H&K... enjoy it and shoot safe!

yep.. I still look at this thing and say "damn!"... I almost came close to getting another MK23, but I never did throw in an offer for it... I was planning to offer up my MP5 clone.. but I just thought to myself I am no where near hitting that 60K round mark with the one I got now, and I can't really justify owning 2

... besides that.. I love my MP5 clone

Local sales is your best way to grab an MK23.. most times you can offer up trades + cash. There were 2 of'em for sale where I'm located, and the lowest priced one I saw was at $1300 or $1400 and it looked like it was in better condition than mine was. All I can say is... they are out there to get.... and believe me! It's something no one will regret getting....

Another good day at the range today... threw about 300 rounds (mixed steel and brass casings) and no issues.. good times.. Had fun shooting with a forum member here DAVEH.. great coach.. sure helped me out get my groups closer than ever.

I have a USP Tactical .45 that I love. But a MK23 is one of those collection wants for sure.

It's a hit and miss... but I've seen one go for $1300... and that's the lowest I've seen so far...
Your USP tactical .45 is no joke either... that is a very fine weapon you got there

All of you guys are welcome to post up your H&K pics and stories here. Throw down some details... failures, malfunctions, any issues, accuracy, fit and finish, etc... I'm in the market to getting another H&K.. either sticking with the .45 or getting into a 9mm...
I deliberately shot steel cased ammo (Tula ammo) and then brass case in my MK23 hoping for a fail to eject... but no fail to ejects or malfunction... the MK23 is still going strong.

islandermyk, how did you like you .40 tac? I'm getting one in a few months, and am absolutely dying to get my hands on it!

I honestly loved it and wanted to turn it into an meaner Tactical. I looked at the 16 rounders and mounting on the USP Jet Funnel, and then adding on a vortex flash hider... yep.. I had big plans with that one and I did grow an attachment to the thing as well, and was hesitant about the trade, but I couldn't pass this one up.

The USP Tactical is an amazing piece. I can't recall, but I shot the sh*t out of it and really didn't take care of it (cleaning after every session) intentionally just to see to an extent it finally fails. I went through maybe 300 or 400 rounds got dirt in it by accident by loading a dirty mag and it failed to eject.

After seeing all that. I did put my trust on it and open carried it almost everywhere I went. I believe you will love it. Not to big, not to small... it will be a challenge if you plan to conceal, and it is enough gun to get the job done... it's hella accurate! I don't think you'll regret... When you do get it let me know. I still have my old kydex paddle holster I can sell you cheap (which I bought for $60). Held on to it thinking I'ma get another one.

I love me my HK MK23.

Here's a video of one banging away at a steel plate at around 25 -30 yards.

MMmmm, yes... I was probably one of the first 200 viewers that saw that. Very nice shooting there. I bet you can do a 100 yards with it! I've tried it and I was shooting steel case Tula ammo and still hitting the target... well 3 out of 12

It's a keeper! Shoot safe and enjoy!

By the way... have you any luck with finding a kydex paddle holster for your MK23?

Mikey's 23 is dead-on accurate beyond standard combat ranges. I'm sure that would apply to most of these pistols.

It is definitely accurate in your hands... for sure!

... and this was all you bro!

I greatly appreciate your help in improving my shooting!

Ennytime.

islandermyk · February 14th, 2012, 11:14 PM

...another 44 rounds through it and no problems/issues in arctic conditions... wanted to throw more rounds down range, but it was to cold...

DaveH · February 16th, 2012, 02:08 PM
