Differences between Mk23 and USP

[nickorette]

Is there any real substantial differences between the two? I know the Mk23 has a longer and threaded barrel... is that it?

1- Price

2- Size and weight

The MK23 is supposed to be more accurate and built tougher.

I have handled it and it is a huge gun. It is not the kind that fits everybody's hand.

But it does make you feel like a big man holding that giant gun. I did when I held it.It was like having a second........

Somehow I think part of your username would do well in filling out that sentence.

This thread has great pictures and descriptions between the Mark23 and USP tac.


Truthfully, the mark23 and USP Tac aren't even in the same class of guns. The Mark23 has big solid steel blocks imbedded into the frame to support the slide and the recoild rod, trigger group parts etc, rather than the standard bent sheetmetal inserts that the USP has (which in reality are more than enough) The Mark23 is literally built to survive just about anything.

The extra mass of the slide soaks up a LOT of the recoil. It is most definatly the easiest gun to shoot, that i've ever held.
