When a MK23 appears in a film or TV show, we always refer to it as a "MK23 Mod 0" (or something along those lines, I'm still not exactly sure how "MK/Mark" designations are supposed to be written). But since these are always going to be the civilian version, the Mark 23 (which this page is titled after), shouldn't we be using that name instead of the military designation? It's what we do with the Beretta 92FS/M9, so why not apply the same policy to the Mark 23? After all, it's highly unlikely there are any samples of the USSSOCOM-branded MK23 Mod 0 in any movie armories anywhere.

Fourth picture
The fourth picture is ID'd as a SOCOM, but wouldn't a real SOCOM have "HK Mark 23 USSOCOM Cal 45" on the slide? Vangelis 10:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- No clue-S&Wshooter 04:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- I believe the real weapon has the HK logo, then (exactly as typed) MK23 USSOCOM Cal.45

LAM unit
can someone PLEASE make a page for the Wilcox Industries MK23 lam unit? It's a very popular lam and very expensive.
Wilcox industries ceased manufacturing them in 2001. Although most famous for being attached to a MK23 a whole range of pistols could be fitted as Wilcox Industries had gun adapters for many guns including, Glock and the USP.
There are two basic models:
Sosmart - laser module (two models) 1. laser only 2. infrared and laser
Beamer - flashlight module flashlight and infrared flashlight
2nd generation models had the battery pack on the side of the Sosmart module. The Sosmart module also had a LCD read out on bottom which had battery life and laser blink rate.
Price ranges today are $500-$3500
Here is a link to early models (1st generation, note missing side battery caps) http://www.streetpro.com/usp/UITC.html
Here is a picture of a 2nd generation, laser only module http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=151038142
Feel free to use any of the pics as I took the pictures.
Also have a M16 mount adapter http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=151040929
Again feel free to use any of the pics as I took them.
I will provide pics of 2nd generation infrared module if needed.
my email, chris koehne at hot mail dot com
There isn't much info available online or anywhere and if IMFDB could set up a page it would surely get views and visits and be a important source of info for many people.
I can also provide scans of the manual.
Thank you
Chris
