The mother of all 45 ACP

I disagree.. I had a HK USP and that was a brick in my hand. If the MK23 is as big as people say it is. It wouldn't be comfy in many people hands. So I cannot see how I could shoot that better than a 1911?

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.
 
Maintaining a proper grip, would be hard with a grip that not comfy. You be constantly changing it to correct that.
I get what you're saying, but as long as it's not painful an uncomfortable grip is not bad in itself. I hated (hated!) how Glocks felt after my experience with CZ75s...but damned if I didn't shoot them better.

Great review master G, after reading it i know i am gonna appreciate the Mark 23, i am a big man.
 
With my H&K Mark 23 my 45 ACP herd will include a Sig P227R Enhanced and a Glock 21 Gen 4, all 3 are brand new and unfired and all 3 have mag capacity of 10 rounds.
In 2019 will not buy a 1911.

As far 45 ACP go, i think my herd is complete.

When spring come i will take the 3 together and break them in. :)

Dam winter.:(

Congrats on the new toy!
The Mark 23 has intrigued me for years but other FA purchases keep bumping it out of the queue. Maybe one day.....

Kinda sounds like a sales man reading the brochure to me.

Apparently CZ97B was suppose to be real accurate. But I never seen that. Because couldn't grip them well.

I'm a little curious about the line..... "In 2019 will not buy a 1911."
A couple of years ago you were going on and on about how your Les Baer Premier II was the best thing ever. :confused:

When i started my chemio for my ugly cancer 2 years ago, i had no idea if i would make it so when i stopped chemio in November 2017.
At the same time it was the renewal of my bush pilot medical, they refused the renewal. At that times i owned about 50 restricteds, so i started to sell everything, then i had an opportunity to trade my Beaver DHC for a farm in New Hampshire.

I was really scare of dying so i did sell all of my restricteds and kept only 2, when we entered our house in NH in May, i started feeling better, and started to buy extra cool firearms in NH( it was good for my spirit).

I also restarted to buy stuff up here to go to the range, i am now up to 12 restricteds on the Canada side and 9 in NH, after selling my Les Baer and my Colt custom, i was heart broken because i was not confident to survive.

In August my MD told me that there is no more cancer and i started to believe i would make it, since then i am buying like a pig. I dont want to buy a 1911, it did break my heart to much selling them at low price.
Now i want to try everything i feel like, sky is the limit.
I am alive and rocking the Casba.

Here you go sailor, the whole story. Feel good, know everybody know.

That’s great news, and, as gdawg mentioned, an excellent philosophy.

Maybe not better than a 1911 but easily equal to a custom 1911, with my Les Baer, i could not do better than that at 25yards. Maybe Harry with is prowler could.:dancingbanana:

Whole food plant based=cure?
 
Glad to hear that you've beat that cancer JP. Sorry you lost your medical for your PPL but a new endeavour has begun. Now, please!! When you're in NH, take a few snapshots of that beautiful Korth along with the KAC SR-25 and let me see them side by side with your happy face in the pictures!! The MK23 is great, the S&W model 19 is also nice, the multiple FA you showed in the last years are cool but the Korth, c'mon this is simply the finest revolver money can buy can't believe that you've never showed it in the flesh...
 
Neat target with your Les Baer JP. This is about 30 rounds into 2.5" and about 20 rounds in a vertical string of 7" high and 2" wide. Not bad but I clearly see that "Off hand" is on the target but given the pattern of impacts or the "string" in plain vocabulary, the Les Baer was clearly shot on a rest and "some" human errors removed. Still gives a good idea of the accuracy potential of that particular pistol.
