Talk:Heckler & Koch Mark 23

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)

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.

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
