Cool-breeze: No, the SEALs started using SIG P226's because they didn't like the Mk23. The Mk23 was pretty much roundly despised as too heavy, too big and all around troublesome. Saw a couple in a Special Forces arms room in Iraq, but they were only there because they were on the property books. --[[User:idpassr|idpassr]] | Cool-breeze: No, the SEALs started using SIG P226's because they didn't like the Mk23.

I believe this pistol was designed for the US Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) cooperative project between the US Army and USSOCOM to find a .45 replacement for the M9. Like most US procurement projects it went nowhere. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:03, 17 November 2011 (CST) | |||

If there aren't any movies featuring this gun, I don't think we need a page for it. MT2008 04:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- And as we see here, (drum roll) :) We DID EVENTUALLY have movie entries for this gun, thus it would have been probably wrong to delete the page as it helped identify the weapon in several movies and other entries. :) MoviePropMaster2008 06:38, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
P30?
What, exactly, is the difference between this gun, and the HK P30?
The p30 comeschambered in 9mm or 40 S&W. It's also lighter and smaller than the HK45. It's basically a little brother designed for law enforcement applications whereas the HK45 is designed from the ground up to be a combat orientated pistol. -burgershot621
Wasn't this designed for the Navy SEALs in response to them hating the MK 23 SOCOM? --cool-breeze 14:43, 17 November 2011 (CST)
