New In Box Heckler & Koch Mark 23 Pistols
The HK Mark 23 Caliber .45 ACP pistol gives shooters match grade
accuracy equal to that of the finest custom made handguns yet exceeds
the most stringent operational requirements ever demanded of a combat
handgun.
The Mark 23 provides this accuracy without the need for hand-fitted
parts common in custom-built match pistols costing thousands of dollars
more.
One of the most thoroughly tested handguns in history, the MK23/Mark 23
project originated in 1991 when HK began development for the U.S.
Special Operations Command, the organization that directs the activities
of America’s most elite military units, including the Navy SEALs and the
Army Special Forces.
On May 1, 1996, the first HK MK 23 pistols were delivered to the U.S.
Special Operations Command for operational deployment, making the MK 23
the first caliber .45 ACP pistol to enter American military service
since the venerable Government Model 1911A1.
During testing, MK 23 pistols met the most stringent operational and
accuracy requirements ever demanded of a combat handgun. Endurance
testing demonstrated a service life of over 30,000 rounds +P ammunition.
To meet the reliability requirement, the pistol had to demonstrate a
minimum of 2,000 mean rounds between stoppages (MRBS) with both M1911
ball and +P ammunition. All pistols exceeded the 2000 MRBS with an
average of 6000 MRBS. In more than 450 accuracy test firings from a
precision firing fixture at 25 meters, MK 23 pistols far exceeded the
government requirement, averaging 1.44 inches, with 65 groups of less
than one inch.
