I've had a K23 pistol ordered for approx. 6 weeks but in a 9 mm.  My FFL distributor actually got it in but it had a carry handle and I had ordered with a flat top.  Should be back the way I want it within a week.

I've had mine for a week now.  Have not been to the range yet so I can't comment on how it shoots, but It's a totally awesome looking pistol. I got the flat top model. I've got my OTAL mounted on it right now but I'm thinking about either a Eotech or Aimpoint. Didn't come with a carry handle. Came with an excellent carry case and a CProducts 30rd mag.

bearcatpa,
Can you post a review here after you've had a chance to get acquainted with it?  I think it looks really nice in .223 WITH the carry handle.  I've been doing a lot of research on Olympic Arms and they seem to be very well-made!  Please let us know your thoughts in a month or two.  THANKS!!!

17L2,
Thanks for posting!  Please let us know what you think of it after you take it to the range.

Has anyone had a chance to compare it to the Carbon-15?  I'm very curious as to how it will stack-up with THAT popular pistol!

As always, any info is good info!  Take care all!

what's the price on one of those?  CMMG makes one in a very similar configuration.

- Oly Arms 6.5" barrel assembly
- Ameetec Lower
- Bushmaster Buffer System
- DPMS Lo-Pro Flattop Upper
- Magpul MIAD Grip
- YHM Rear BUIS

I have owned this setup for a while.  Shoots very well.

Will do.  I plan to mount an eotech 511 on the pistol due to its shorter length.  The gun will also have a quad rail and YHM front sight.  Have not yet decided on the rear sight.
Will put on a single point sling. as I've talked to others who shoot AR pistols and they say this is the route to go.

I've been thinking about getting one too.  Local gun store has the carry-handle version and the flat-top version.  I'm leaning towards the flat-top.  The guy I talked to at the store about it also works at Oly arms (about 30 min away) and helped build it and iron out the initial problems.

That's very cool!

Is there a reason that the flat-tops are more popular than the handle?  I personally think that the handle looks FAR BETTER than just a plain flat top!  Maybe I'm not seeing the bigger picture.  Can someone enlighten me?

you can't add a eotech as easy with a a2 if you are only going to use irons order it with a A2 other wise get the flat top and add a flip up rear site.

Or just add a carry handle to the flattop if you like the look of it.  Then you'll always have the option of adding something different.

That's true.  Is it fairly easy to add a handle?  Are they all pretty much the same?  I had thought about that but wasn't sure how easy (or difficult) it would be to add.  Thanks for all the info and help guys!!!

Damn near half the Wa shooters who show up at the shoots have Oly pistols now. Bump city. Get a flat top. Don't worry about sites.

I am picking up my 9 mm K23P Oly pistol tomorrow.  Eotech has also been ordered and will be here next week.  Will definitely be taking to the range next weekend.

Got it today.  It looks great with the quad rail, Yankee hill front flip up sight and flattop.    I've  got the rear sight coming  and a quick detach mount for the eotech.
