I'm thinking the Korth is simply Europe's best version of a revolver. Has one ever won any major revolver competition? I don't think so. You can probably buy a couple of custom barreled K-frame Smith's that will shoot circles around a Korth in a PPC match for the price of one Korth. There are simply some things in life that were the result of divine inspiration and intervention:

The Constitution of the USA
The 1911 pistol
The Smith and Wesson revolver
