I am happy for him even though the pic doesn't bring the green monster out in me - but good for him!

I have zero interest in Korths but I wish I had his disposable income...

I saw a post on a forum by a guy in Austria who collects FN pistols and rifles. He had 300 or so guns including quite a few full auto models. Assume he was born rich and elite to be able to acquire such a collection in Europe. Or does Austria not have any restrictive gun laws? In that case he only needs to be rich.

I now know what the K in 401k means! He has enough Korth's to sell to fund his retirement.

Korth's are nice but I think overrated. I've shot some, and they are nice, but not any nicer (shooting) than comparable S&W's.

I must admit that I never heard of Korth until now either. Not mentioned in too many Small arms military histories and manuals?

They are a contender for the world's most expensive revolver. Most of them are .357 Magnum.

Korth makes an interesting 9 mm Luger cylinder and yoke assembly for 686s that they advertise as drop in parts. It is, not surprisingly, expensive.
