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

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.

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.

My Mateba aint far off in build quality

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....

Oh you delusional Mackem! The Ginger Ninja been dropping psychedelics in your Horlicks again!

Same quality as a Korth....!

I'll call you tomorrow. It will be funnier hearing you say it as opposed to reading it!

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

I found this interesting review on the Korth yesterday;

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'.
