I was lucky enough to shoot the Korth conversion gun at the range day. It was very pleasant and I could see why one would want a 9mm L frame. Surprisingly, they tuned the trigger so light that I experienced more than one misfire while testing it. They like light triggers at Korth apparently.
The next day I talked to them at the show and I also was told $500 MSRP. From what I gathered, the cylinder needs fairly extensive fitting both dimensionally and for timing. There is also three versions depending on which era 686 you have. It seems after fitting cost, the cost of the cylinder, and the cost of the donor gun, it's not terribly economical. It does have a lot of neat factor though.
I may not have gotten a totally clear picture about the fitting, since I was speaking German with them and it is not my native tongue. But it did seem that overall you really have to want one pretty bad to justify the time and expense.
