"Unlike most handguns which are intended as sidearms, the Heckler & Kock MK23 USSOCOM was designed as a primary offensive handgun for special operations. The MK23 has been deployed by some of the worlds most elite fighting forces for over a decade and still is today.

Officially licensed by H&K, this airsoft replica of the .45 caliber handgun has full trademarks and is a highly detailed recreation of its real steel counterpart. It features functional ambidextrous safety levers and a functional decocker so all of its controls operate just like the real one. The pistols slide is constructed from metal with high profile combat sights and even a spring loaded ejector for extra realism. For anyone who has never seen an MK23 in person, this pistol is massive. At nearly 10 inches long and weighing in at over 2 pounds this handgun is the equivalent of wielding a Desert Eagle and just as intimidating.

At 360 fps at the muzzle the MK23 has the muscle to back up its badass looks and can reach out to 50 yards with consistent accuracy. Pop off a round and the slide kicks back with a solid jolt and enough recoil to rock the pistol back in your hand making it a highly entertaining pistol to fire.

Overall this is one of the best MK23 blow back replicas we have seen in years and will make a fine addition to anyones arsenal. With its power and long range capabilities the KWA MK23 can effectively be used in a skirmish as a primary offensive handgun just like the real one was intended.

Please note: The muzzle threads and the railed frame are not standard and are designed for MK23 specific accessories so unfortunately you will not be able to use standard mock suppressor or rail accessories on this model.
