VIDEO: Shooting the World's Largest .45ACP Semi-Auto Handgun

Amsdorf · September 8, 2012, 09:33 AM

It's a brick. It's the world's first and perhaps only crew-served .45ACP. You have to be about seven feet tall and weigh 400 pounds to conceal carry it. When you run out of ammo you can use it as a battering weapon.

It is, the one, the only, the world's largest .45ACP semi-automatic handgun, I present, the HK MK23!!

Anyone use one before?

I've got my order in on a silencer.

Never shot one but the specs put it at about the same size as a six inch barreled 1911 (maybe .2 in. taller) and a tad lighter than an all steel 1911. Specs based on HK's website and the specs for a five inch Springfield Trophy Match. It would be neat to have one with a suppressor.

Don't forget the LAM! Get the suppressor later find the LAM now!

Shot one before and its very impressive. I like my FNP tactical because I can cram 16 rounds of .45 ACP goodness into it with one up the snout.
