The MK23 SOCOM pistol from Heckler & Koch is a behemoth. 12-rounds of .45acp fill its belly and the 5.8″ o-ring barrel sends them down range with tack-driver precision. The SOCOM must be one of the most clandestine pistols ever produced. You see, its very status is denied by HK executives, who often claim that it’s discontinued. However, the MK23 is resilient. Despite being discontinued, every six months or so some units show up. This one is brand new in box and current dealer cost is “only” $1815.21. Get your hands on this “assault pistol” before it’s outlawed or discontinued again.
As many of you know, Glock pistols are in very high demand these days. According to our suppliers, Glock is currently running two 8-hour shifts everyday at their production facility in Smyrna, GA. This is turning out approximately 4,000 units each day. However, this is not nearly enough to appease the insatiable appetite of the civilian and LE markets– let alone the burgeoning military contracts the company enjoys.
To supplement supply, Glock has recently looked to its homeland for help. As a result, there are an unknown number of Glock model 19s circulating around the market– with real Austrian proof marks! We got our first unit today (pictured). As a collector, these are of particular interest to me. I only recently read about them online, and certainly didn’t expect to see one in my shop so soon– if ever. I know you guys would enjoy some pictures, so here you go!
