Speaking as someone with nearly 260 hours in Killing Floor 1 (it being my 4th most played game on Steam): Absolutely no one used the MK23s. In about 1000 matches I saw the MK23s used about three times.
Most people considered the MK23s upgraded 9mms. "Good, but not worth spending money or carry weight on." Considering that Gunslinger already has one gun that's "good but not worth spending money on" does it really need two?

I don't understand how the MK23s were considered over the Seal Squealer, the ZED Gun, or even the Bile Thrower. Sure no one used the Poo Thrower, but at least it was a modestly unique gun as opposed to "9mm with 9% more damage"

What the ♥♥♥♥? Everyone uses and used the MK23. The .44 sucks, and the deagle is just a glorified .44, which sucks as well.

The 23 has the best sights out of all the pistols, and a good capacity. It's a great all rounder pistol overall. Not sure how and WHY you're comparing it to the 9mm.

BIG FUNKIN' ASS WUUUUUUUUUUUUUT?

EVERYBODY used Mk23 and for many people that was a go-to gun. Out of what, 300 hours of KF1 I clocked? 250 or so were with Mk23. Mk23 is the reason I have Sharpshooter on LvL 6.

Quit trippin'.

Agreed. While not a terrible weapon, it did feel a lot like the Survivalist does in KF2. It didn't have much of a "recommended use" as it was overkill for trash zeds (the 9mm could handle them fine assuming your aim wasn't awful) and for big zeds you were much better off using a Deagle or one of the sharpshooter's actual weapons.

Not to mention Gunslinger already got a new weapon recently (which admittedly did feel somewhat lazy since it's essentially just 2 M1911s glued together, but still) so he should not be high on the "perk to recieve new weapon" list. Commando or Demo could use that opportunity much more.

Basically this as well. It's also part of the reason that I doubt the FNFAL (the M14ERB) or the Fire Axe (the Crovel) will find their way into the game.
With that in mind I do think they could make the Fire Axe and FNFAL feel unique, as opposed to the MK23 which will be just another standard handgun with absolutely nothing to make it feel special when compared to the others. The Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is designed to be an extremely standard handgun that can be used as easily as possible. With zero kick it won't feel powerful like the Deagle and .500 Magnums, and then it just becomes a reskinned M1911.

I agree with this^

There are way better options to choose from KF1.

the mk23 in kf1 had good penetration bonuses. They also looked the best over all other weapons

[HiTmAn]

Mk23 had the same penetration as the Desert Eagles, a 12+12 round magazine and the damage is still enough to make short work of husks.

While sharpshooters might think that it's not the most optimal pick, crawlers and husks made sure that the Mk23 was a berserker's best friend.

inb4 KF2 zerker meta becomes Zweihander+Dual Mk23s+HMTECH101

It's pretty likely that all the 'classic' weapons will have different stats compared to kf1 so whether or not you liked them in the original doesn't matter

although you could argue that gunslinger doesn't really need another set of guns since they can now carry two sets of tier 4 guns
