Note the port in the top of the slide in this shot indicating that this pistol is a compensated. However, typically the Glock 17C features a pair of parallel cuts on the slide rather than a single large one seen here, indicating that this pistol may be an early version, custom gun, or replica of some sort.

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

A Special Forces member can be seen armed with a Heckler & Koch Mark 23. The iron sights (and the thread protector) appear to be missing, but the pistol can be identified as a Mark 23 by the threaded barrel, squared trigger guard and the frame step behind the accessory rail. It is likely a rubber prop and not a real MK23.
