Open

I think it would be a production gun, unless it's trigger pull was less that 5 lbs.

I could be wrong.

Nope, specifically not allowed in Production Division: http://www.ipsc.org/proddiv.php

Further, it's not a revolver, it's too big for the IPSC 'Box', so that only leaves........ Open!

Why no PD?

It is an OPen division gun....although at a significant disadvantage. It is not on the production list of approved guns, and it does not fit in the standard division box.

Not on the blessed list.

149mm Barrel. PD conditions say no more than 127mm to get on the list.

forgot about barrel length. doh.

That is a huge barrel!!!

The Mark23 is a monster. I owned one about 8 years ago. One of those impulse buys. My hand was just big enough to reach everything...and I have looong fingers.

It's a ####ing beast...

 

[maurice]

what appeals to me about the Mark23 is the testing and reliability,...even under extreme conditions. ( and I guess most HK's)...I know of a local shooter who used one in Open,....and it fed everything...including I believe wadcutter .45 rounds. There are very few firearms I would subject to such harsh conditions and expect to still function.

 

[beltfed]

...and lots of muzzle flip for such a beast too...

Overpriced and ridiculous.

Somewhat similar to an air-cooled VW. About the same size, and will never stop running.

mark 23

Large enough that when pulled out the Tangos faint from the shear awsomness

I'll give HK credit for the MK 23 being as good as it is given the absolutely ridiculous requirements they had to build it too.
