Sizewise the Korth frames fall in between the K framed model 19 and the L framed 686, while using the same speedloaders as S&W K frames. A Korth or Manurhin MR 73 feels more like a K frame than an L frame and both receive their strength from superior steel quality.
I have had more than one S&W K frame shooting loose and developing endshake with the use of Magnum loads and consequently now shoot my heavy Magnum reloads in the Korths. The old style grips, which from 1969 on, where supplied by Nill do not distribute the recoil as well as the later and larger Nill grips.
***Another feature that the Model 19 and the Korth share, is the adjustable trigger stop. It helps a lot in accurate shooting and when you watch Youtube videos with presentations of Korth revolvers and the trigger stop is screwed in too far, it gives you an idea how much the opinion of the poster is worth among shooters.
