The German KORTH is the Ferrari of 357's and has a price to match. It takes 4 to 6 months to make and is handbuilt.

That said Python/S&W your nit picking, both are simply excellent pistols.

The vent rib thing comes from the old King Sight Colt and Smith Super King conversions. I have the trifecta in Colt Officers Model King Super conversions...38, 32 & 22...even have one in the 22 Offical Police.

I also have my share of pythons, 686's, pre war 357's, pre 27's and even a Colt Shooting Master in 357.
