Since I posted my auto, I figured it would make sense to post my Korth Combat as well. The company is much more known for their revolvers and the revolvers are built on a much larger basis than they ever did the auto pistol. The pistol was a very limited run, while the Korth Combat is what the company is built upon. :cool:

The revolvers are extremely precise, smooth, and strong. The design is quite different than your typical S&W.

This 3" model is a vintage Korth and dates from 1976, complete with the older logo and West German markings. Its a beautiful gun and 100% built by hand at the small shop in Ratzeburg, Germany. Unlike the auto, these are actually able to be found and purchased.

Please enjoy the pics...










 
The gun just oozes quality. It looks a little coltish. I wonder if it has voice command for the cylinder release.

How does the cylinder release operate?

You just push the lever to the right of the hammer forward to swing out the cylinder. You then push the button on the right side of the frame to remove the entire cylinder assembly from the frame for easy cleaning.
 
Have you shot this revolver? I was wondering what the trigger pull is like compared to a vintage S&W. Sharp looking gun. I'm a fan of German engineering.
 
Teutonic artwork.... like the fine cars produced in Germany! I never knew they made an Auto, so Im off to search your posts and learn! Thanks for posting such a fantastic revolver!
 
How can you afford guns that I have only seen pictures of? These things are like unicorns, pixies, and masculine ice skaters.

I've been a collector for a long time, so its not something that happened overnight. :)
 
Korths are great shooters. They are very accurate and can handle hot loads with no issue.
