I have both and have KAC suppressor for both. Hands down MK23 is better.
The only thing MK23 is worse at is concealing. But I have several holsters for mine and carry it under a teeshirt regularly. My MK23 is the last gun I’d ever part with. ETA: I’ve since converted my 45C to LEM.

MK23's have incredible accuracy and very fun to suppress.

Plot twist here, I have a 45c that I bought trying to scratch the itch and it just isnt. Played to much metal gear solid as a kid lol  This gun is specifically a woods guns/suppressor host so not worried about concealment. Unfortunately I cant have both at the moment so this one will have to go but Im longing for the 23 lol

I've owned all the .45 HK suppressor hosts. I'd get the Mark 23 or one of the USP tactical models. If you want the Mark 23, nothing else will scratch that itch. For a pure fun suppressed range toy, the Mark 23 is unbeatable.
I really didn't like the HK45 or HK45T and got rid of both shortly after buying them. The grip on both is awful imo, not aggressive enough.  |

Ive got some things for sale now and the goal is to end up with the mk23. Where I should have started lol. |

The MK23 is, by any measurable metric barring price and concealability, the best 45 pistol suppressor host ever made.
Mine is the last pistol I'd part with. Wish KAC would get off their ass and make a run of MK23 cans so I can replace my Rugged Obsidian with the can it is supposed to wear. |

Your Obsedian is a quieter can. At least mine is on my Mark 23. |

Have both and love both. The mark 23 with can (and I added a RDS) is like shooting a rifle on the pistol range. I’ll never get rid of it.

What is the quietest can for the MK23?

I’ll go against the grain here. I had the cash in hand to buy a MK23 (it’s been quite a few years ago but I have messed with them) and when I went into the shop they had a USP Tactical .45 and bought that instead. The 23 is awesome but impractical for nearly everything. The Tactical is just as reliable and come in a more manageable size. I wouldn’t get the hK45CT over any of them. In 45C configuration it’s a nice, G19 sized .45 handgun. But suppressed it’s a snappy little bitch.

Is there a 10rd mag for the 45c that doesn’t have the elephants foot.

Pretty sure you can just toss on a regular baseplate.
