It appears, to me, to be the HK USP. SPECOPS usually carry either the .40 cal or .45 cal.

It's a Sig P226 9mm, what the SEALs carry. The front botton of the slide is the give-away, it's too narrow to be an HK (the dust cover on the HK extends all the way to the end of the slide). The appearance of the slide and width of the grip, as well as the sights (smaller than the HK) complete the ID. G ;)

Oh, while the USP is offered in 40 s+w, 45 ACP, and 9mm, the MK 23 (the one Spec Ops guys carry) is only offered in 45 ACP.

Remov is correct, and the military does not use .40 S&W.

No...its not a MK 23 SOCOM....

It is, as mentioned, a Sig P226, the prefered pistol of the navy seals or quite a while now. The best indicator is the round shapidness, the Mk 23 is blocky. Plus, that gun has no extended threaded barrel and that anyone who has ever held or seen a Mk 23, its a HUGE gun, it could almost shadow a Desert Eagle. This picture is of a Sig P226 :)
