This review covers the HK Mark 23 SOCOM pistol in .45 ACP. The firearm, modified by Ernest Langden with a trigger job and optic cut, is noted for its large size but surprisingly soft recoil and accuracy. While the paddle magazine release is criticized, the safety and decocker are functional. The reviewer highlights its fun factor and shootability, comparing it favorably to other interesting firearms.
Ernest Langden, a recognized expert in DA/SA firearms, explains how to effectively manipulate double-action triggers. He emphasizes a continuous, rolling press rather than a single-action-like hammer pull or a problematic 'staging' technique. Langden advises maintaining sight alignment throughout the pull and using dry fire to optimize finger placement for a smooth, accurate shot, noting this method can improve speed and accuracy.
