Silencer's will fit, regardless of manufacturer as long as they are threaded for the 16mm threads on your Mk23 barrel (NOT 14mm).

As for the LAM unit...don't even bother. Even the aftermarket 'M97' is a piece of garbage. I'm surprised no-one has manufactured a replica of the real production Wilcox LAM unit rather than the crappy TM replica of the prototype.

Further, if you mount the TM LAM on it, good luck finding a holster to fit it. Even the holsters that are advertised as being designed to fit the Mk23 with a LAM are designed to fit the real production LAM which has considerably different dimensions. Also, holsters are usually not designed to fit the pistol AND the silencer, mostly because having the silencer extend that low on a thigh rig is very awkward.

A really good holster would be a Safariland 6004. You may be able to order it off some US sites like Optactical, but I think it's harder to come by the Mk23 ones than for another pistol. Viking had one for sale with his Mk23 package recently. If you want to hold the whole thing at once, there are a bunch of holsters designed specifically to hold the Mk23 and all its accessories, particularly by airsoft manufacturers like Guarder and MilForce.
