“Starkweather's personal henchmen: the Cerberus and Carcer City SWAT team carry the model 23, with a .40 caliber cartridge. These potent weapons have a unbelievable rate of fire for a semi-automatic pistol.”
The "GS Model 23" Light Handgun [1][3][4] is a blue class weapon in Manhunt and Manhunt 2.
Description[]
The Light Handgun is similar to the Heavy Handgun in both games, but less powerful. However, it is more powerful than the Revolver Six Shooter and more accurate at long range.
It is used by the Cerberus, CCPD, SWAT, The Bloodhounds, Project Militia, The Watchdogs and The Legion.
Influence[]
The GS Model 23 Light Handgun, as its name suggests, is based on the Glock 23, chambered in .40 caliber, with slighty modifications to the model.

Manhunt 2[]
Shares animations with the Heavy Handgun with no differences whatsoever.
| Type | Execution | Description |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hasty | The player hits the target's flank, causing them to look at their attacker. The player pistol-whips them across their face, knocking them down. The player then holds his gun to the downed target's face, firing a round that destroys their skull. |   
| |
| Violent | Same animation with the Revolver's Gruesome execution, in which the player pistol-whips the target's occiput, knocking them down. The player sticks his gun up their mouth and forces them to stand up with their hands raised. Ignoring their intent to surrender, the player pulls the trigger, destroying their skull. | 
| |
| Gruesome | The player grabs the target from behind and points the gun at their head. The whimpering target raises their hands up as the player lets go of them before shooting their head anyway, destroying their skull. |
