Error creating thumbnail: File missing Heckler & Koch Mark 23 with suppressor -.45 ACP Error creating thumbnail: File missing The MK23 can be differentiated from the USP series by the raised sections of the front and rear of the slide at the point the sights are situated, from the curved underside of the front of the frame and also the threaded hole in the front of the wider, elongated trigger guard (for installation of a Wilcox or similar locking LAM unit) which you can see clearly in this still.
