These are only heavy (for a full sized service handgun) once the extra kg+ from the can and "sighting module" are added. Fucking giant pistol, yeah... but they shoot incredibly well. Don't have a SOCOM, but I have USP45T, and even with +p+, the recoil impulse and muzzle climb are what I consider mild, the buffer spring makes a major difference. Trivia: Iirc, they're not only +p and +p+ rated, but can fire .45 Super (assuming one can *find* ammo), and in my experience, it'll eat it all w/o so much as a hiccup. Still overpriced, tho...

Breaking out the old Airsoft MK23, I don't find it much clunkier than my Beretta 92FS. It's got a higher bore axis, but I recall the shooting experience was very similar to a polymer-framed 9mm. In my eyes it's an incredible piece and I'm looking forward to some range time with one.

I have one of these in my safe, and the thing is an absolute horse. I mean ENORMOUS. Big enough to rival a Desert Eagle in size. Definitely not meant for a small handed shooter and no way could you ever conceal one on the street unless you're wearing a parka. They're also very expensive. Mine came with a price tag of $2,200.00. However, it's not unlike a Model 29: very impractical to lug around, but an absolute blast to shoot (no pun intended). Very accurate, very durable, and has accepted any and every kind of .45 ACP I've chosen to feed it without a single malfunction. I certainly get a lot of questions when I bring it to the range, and the funny look I got from the guy behind the counter at the gun store when I asked if he could get me one was pretty memorable. If you live in the United States, and you fish with a fine net when it comes to firearms, you should give the Mk 23 some consideration. They're a hoot.

Why is that a problem?

I was able to tour the "grey room" when I went to HK for MP5 armorer training over 20 years ago. Very impressive. The MK 23 was/is very overengineered, and was essentially obsolete by the time it was issued. It is also as big as a desert eagle, and the holster issued with it is a POS. To make matters worse, it was developed prior to "rail standardization", so you were pretty much limited to HK proprietary lights and lasers due to its weird accessory mounting arrangement (via the hole in the trigger guard). The Mk23 as you said was designed primarily by input of the SEALs. This is what you get when you let those guys make a wish list for everything they want in such a gizmo. The most positive aspect of the MK23 is that it became the "start point" of the USP series, which of course is a pistol that is actually useable as a traditional handgun. That said, the MK23 is very accurate, and I was issued one as late as 2006, although I never actually "used" it for mission purposes (we all opted to carry our 9mm pistols instead) - I did enjoy shooting it from time to time at the range at the firebase.

Ian certainly evaded saying this design is for assassinations.

Fun fact : the Metal Gear Solid MK23 is based on the phase 2 model, since the staff based its design on the Tokyo Marui MK23, an airsoft reproduction of the phase 2 model. [edit] Actually I got that wrong. The Tokyo Marui MK23 has been released in 2002, so it was 4 years after the release of Metal Gear Solid 1. Tokyo Marui probably released the MK23 as a reference to Metal Gear Solid 1, not the other way around. I still believe it explains why the game uses a FAMAS G1 and a PSG1 (they were both available as Tokyo Marui airsoft guns even back then), but I guess they wanted the "main character gun" to be something special.

Harasho...good! You found a SOCOM. That's a Special Operations Command pistol. It's a .45 caliber pistol with plenty of stopping power. It's also equipped with a LAM (Laser Aiming Module) for nighttime combat. If you find a SOCOM suppressor, you can equip that, too. That pistol was designed specifically for use by special forces, so I think it will be useful. Some people find it a little heavy and hard to use, but it shouldn't be a problem for you.
