Korth Revolvers

#1 Post by IsleShoot »

I often think its cruel when people post about all those lovely things we can't have and here I am doing it myself!

Its just I discovered a revolver manufacturer I had until yesterday never heard of! I'm no PP1 or 1500 aficionado so it maybe everybody knows of Korth and I'm just late to the party?

I'm wondering if they'd do an LBR a la Merkle? I'm fairly certain if they did I couldn't afford it though wallhead

They make or used to make very nice guns, you would see them around back in the day but they were top end price wise and I think that cut against them.

They are very well-made - and very expensive revolvers.

Outstanding quality.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Used in the film version of "Callan" with Edward Woodward :)

He asks Lonely to get him a gun, a Korth. I remember looking it up at the time as I'd never heard of them.

Does he? I always thought it was a "Noguchi .38 Magnum"? I remember it so vividly because I searched and searched for reference when I was a kid, coming tonthe conclusion it didn't exist....

Buggery, you're perfectly correct, soon as I saw Noguchi I remembered, ah well better take more of the meds before I forget to that as well troutslapping

I found this interesting review on the Korth yesterday;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJZwhrxokGA

Definately couldn't afford one!

Being a left hooker I love that cylinder release but this is clearly not a gun you get moonclipped so you can torture it (and yourself) shooting IPSC!

I also learnt Korth is pronouched 'court'.
