The Korth will never be a player in America, outside of the handful sold to the rich and curious, because for $4,000 an American can buy a full-house custom from one of the dozens of the world's best builders available to us. I'll take a Heirloom Precision, Bowen Classic Arms, Jim Garthwaite, and on, and on. Korth would be someplace around 100th place on that list, and even that would be charitable.
I am not interested in arguing about popular tastes, let alone swaying anyone else's personal preferences. My testimony is limited to the facts of the matter. The fact that SIG P210 pistols and Korth and Manurhin MR73 revolvers use stronger materials and better surface treatments than their American counterparts is amply witnessed by objective measurements and documented service records. I have nothing but respect for Jason Burton and Hamilton Bowen, but there is no way to approach the strength, durability, and ruggedness of a SIG P210, a Korth, or a Manurhin MR73, by customizing a Colt, a S&W, or a Ruger.
