Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Korth revolvers - beautiful!

My dad has always worn a Rolex and that thing is like a...clock...

I'm gonna snag it when his time is up.

Haha! Get it? Time? Up? Haha.

I don't get it ... ... I'd rather have a KORTH.

Crappy imitation pretending to be a Colt.

Speaking of Rolexes, does your phone work, I've been calling all day about the Rolex of rifles, namely a Sako .222...

I see you've done your research.

"When I think of fighting revolvers, I look to the best source of information; military service. The DA revolvers with the best track record in military service would probably be the Webleys, with the 1917 Colt�s & S&W� running a very close second. The Manurhin has never been in wide spread use, so the long term effects of service abuse are just an unknown."

This should be good. The Z-Man and I have had a version this discussion already.

Wow I just stumbled upon this thread.

What a [bleep] joke! The blueing on these looks terrible, especially for what they are asking. Don't even get me started on the hideous aesthetics. I thought this was a 200-300 dollar revolver until I googled a little.
A fool and his money are soon parted.


Buy a registered magnum.

Reliability of this over 30 years and more then 20000 rounds used and abused FN Barracvuda (forged steel of course was excellent. Yes I even can switch barrels like on my Korth.

Like this?

Dan Wesson also used forged parts. Like Korth, they are also out of business, even though they made some nice, durable guns to withstand thousands of basically excessive silhouette loads.

A few cops carried them, but the 357 went the dodo for duty a long time ago.

Beautiful.....and hard to find. I wanted a pistol pac since I was a kid.

I had that very model back in the 1980s. I had three barrel lengths, the eight inch with a scope mounted on it. Really nice triggers. Shorter pull stroke than a Smith & Wesson. Just another in a long list of guns I'm sorry I sold.

I PM'd the proper number. I'm even going to turn the ringer on. Just for you.


Travis

What parts on a Dan Wesson are forged? The entire revolver is made of investment castings.

If it's so awesome, why did the cylinder fall out?


Travis

I could never get past the extra communists nanny state gay safety hump behind the hammer on the korth revolvers.

That's the cylinder release.

10-4, show is ugly though.

I tend to like Belt Mountain cylinder releases.

Gunner

I've got an old second gen Colt SAA 45 with thousands of rounds fired that doesnt have the drag marks on the cylinder like that overpriced korth.

Gunner

Sheesh, you guys - buy a gun book. That's a FN Barracuda. I would have figured Kevin (Astra Boy) would be all over that one.
