Custom & Collectable Firearms has unveiled the HK MK23 Bellum, a limited-edition platform pairing the iconic .45 ACP pistol with purpose-built aesthetics and premium presentation. Restricted to just 50 sequentially numbered examples, the Bellum leverages the MK23's legendary combat profile and proven reliability while elevating it to collector status through meticulous customization.

The design centers on a striking two-tone finish: OD Green Cerakote on the slide adorned with custom diamond-pattern engraving, contrasted against a flat dark earth frame. The complete package ships with an Aimpoint ACRO red-dot sight mounted, a SilencerCo Osprey suppressor engraved with matching serial numbers, a custom-fitted Pelican Vault hard case, and a certificate of authenticity.

Every element feels intentional, down to the sequencing. If you were a collector and had this, I sure would like to see the rest of your collection as well. I’m sure we could be friends, especially if your pieces are for real use as well.

Do you prefer the MK23's full-size, all-steel profile for collectibility, or do you prioritize other platforms for limited-edition runs?

    The MK23 will always be a cool gun - BUT extremely overrated.

    That being said I'll still pick one up some day.

  • As much as I’d like to get a MK23, the normal one is way more expensive than it ought to be. Let alone a “special edition.”
