Too high quality and expensive to make for that comparison. I'd say that the LCR is a revolver Glock.Maybe the Security Six is the G19 of revolvers

Some folks might suggest that the S&W Model 19 is the Glock 19 of revolvers...

Are we talking older M19s, or current production M19/66 with MIM parts and the lock?
... But I do have a glaring hole in my personal collection marked "double-action .357"
and a GP is right there at the top of the list.
With all the Glock hate around, this should stir some conversation.
Or if it's a Walther, H&K, Kahr, Magnum Research, CZ, or Tanfoglio. They use polygonal also.Never did care for Glocks, mainly because they have that peculiar barrel rifling that nobody else uses. Although it's an easy way for the police to know if a Glock is used in a crime.
At that time, HK was the choice of special forces
Agreed 100%. I was referencing when the HK45C was used by Seal Team 6. The HK45 and HK45C are my favorites. The MK23 is a beast of a pistol- I'm a big guy and it feels huge to me. The USP series is big enough. I committed heresy on both of mine and wrapped the grips with Talon grip tape. Much better. But the HK45 and the 45C are just about perfect. The 45C has a grip like the P2000 series, just larger. I EDC a P2000SK.Nowadays I would not hesitate to wager that there are far more G19s in SOCOM armories than MK23 MOD "whatever" it could be up to by now.
There never were many mk23's in the armory to begin with. It was a special piece intended for tier 1 use, not general issue.Nowadays I would not hesitate to wager that there are far more G19s in SOCOM armories than MK23 MOD "whatever" it could be up to by now.
Yup. I think, from some interviews I watched with NSW types and talking to some folks the MK23 DEVGRU use more marketing ploy than what it actually was. I agree, although I never owned one, the one I shot seemed gigantic. I didn't care much for it.Agreed 100%. I was referencing when the HK45C was used by Seal Team 6.

Well, I learned something today. Didn't know that all these manufactures did this.Or if it's a Walther, H&K, Kahr, Magnum Research, CZ, or Tanfoglio. They use polygonal also.
Good pointSo many people aren't getting the point![]()
