Does anyone here have experience with Korth revolvers or pistols? Are they any good?
I was thinking it looked like a 92 series a bit. Actually, with its safety, it looks like the Taurus PT-92/99 copy of the Beretta. Korth appears to be a copycat, and not a leader.Originally posted by JRJ:
Python, which Beretta model are you refering to?
I have seen a private collection that had two .357 revolvers and two 9mm autos. These guns are defineately not copycats of anythhing other than the basics that every pistol and revolver copy. One revolver and one pistol were shooters, though I was not able to shoot them, I did get to see them stripped down. Even the most minute spring has been hand polished. These are unbelieveably nice guns and I was told 100% reliable. Unfortuneately, they are priced too extreme for all but the most serious collector with money to burn.python1340 said:I was thinking it looked like a 92 series a bit.

Yes, that opens the cylinder. I've shot one .357 in Germany. The trigger reminded me of an old S&W. The (hot) reloads stuck in the cylinder so bad that they had to hammer on the ejector rod to get them out, but the gun kept going. I was impressed at fit and finish. The only problem was I couldn't afford one.M1911 said:Where's the cylinder release? Is it that doohickey (technical term) under the hammer?![]()

Yes, that rounded trigger guard is old fashioned but lets me know at a glance that it's a Korth. Although you can get them to put the square "combat" trigger guard on for an extra $300. OUCH! And spare magazines $150 ea. $$$$ :hrm:
Talk about putting the hurt on. I'd rather take $450 and buy a SA GI and new grips.papa171 said:Although you can get them to put the square "combat" trigger guard on for an extra $300. OUCH! And spare magazines $150 ea. $$$$ :hrm:
