Revolvers...thoughts, opinions, wishlist please

What's that run price wise?

They had it tagged for $450, but I'll be trading in a Ruger Security Six for it, so hopefully I don't pay that much out of pocket.

My favorite revolvers are Colt snake guns and Dan Wessons.

I just saw a 10mm version at my local gun store. I'm picking it up in the morning. Pics to follow.

.40 or 10mm... nice. You're going to look like a sorcerer firing that thing. Giant ass fireballs which encircle your body.

Has anyone seen the S&W Nightguard revolvers? Pretty pricey for me but I like the features. Really digging the S&W Model 327 Night Guard. 8 shots of .38 Special or .357 Magnum.

S&W Model 19 or 66, I like it since it is concealable and I can practice with .38 and carry with .357.

Love my 686. Look around online, I bought mine (686-1) for $490, stanless 6 inch in almost perfect condition. Stay away from Monarch .357 mag ammo, some of the rounds are not machined right and will sieze the cylinder. I've had it happen 6 times out of 1 box of ammo so far and I have around 20 rounds left.

They also make it in .45ACP and .44Mag, I believe.

Does anyone have a ruger LCR?

Beats me, but we are talking about a fine hand made, exclusive, and ornate firearm versus a mass produced domestic weapon.

You could liken this comparison to a ZR1 corvette versus a Ferrari. Both perform comparably, but the Ferrari is a hand made work of art that is both exclusive and ornate. One pays for these features.

The finer things in life are lost on some people. Those people buy Kimbers. All of the appearance, without any of the performance!

I don't mind spending stupid money to get quality but 5k + for a revolver doesn't make sense to me. How much better will I shoot with it vs my favorite revolver (PD trade in S&W 64) that I shoot almost daily?

Korth is to revolvers what Wilson Combat is to 1911s. They are just incredible.

You usually have to order them (I dont think there are stocking dealers). Here is a used one for sale for $5200-

Their automatics are also incredible.

Damn; I learn something new everyday. Never heard of a Korth until now and I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about guns in general.


2001 GT, if you you live near HWY 35 and Belt Line I shoot close by to there most weekday mornings at dawn and normally have a few common (no Korth's) type revolvers with me. If you would like to try a few send me a PM.

I still remember the article I think it was Guns and Ammo did on the Korth. They claimed it was "the most powerful handgun" because of the tolerances. I think the guns retailed $2k back then.
