Korth Target .357
- Thread starter Classic12
- Start date
Quick detach cylinder
And it’s no longer new
Had some vertical stringing before producing a nice group at 25 meters offhand. The trigger action is incredibly smooth, both in SA and DA mode.
The crazy part is that I saw this gun with another half dozen Korth at my old LGS 25 years ago. They remained unsold due to their high prices, and the LGS often joked that they were part of his retirement plan.
Sadly he passed away prematurely in 2017. Another LGS I became close to bought his entire stock, and had those Korth on display.
He lowered the prices and they started moving. So I felt it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire an old school NIB Korth. I had to take the jump, and when I shot it I had a thought for the deceased LGS who was a friendly person.

cylinder release.
S&W puts an arm in the same location for their "Pro" match revolvers like this part:

Gosh darn it. I would erase that since it was already answered...but that would just be equally dumb
Very nice looking. I don't know if I've seen the cartridge prints like that. Is that a blued gun thing?

Hell yes! Congrats!
I remember reading a year or two ago, when I was more active on the forums, that a Ratzeburg Korth was high on your to-buy list. I also remember seeing the Korth price tags on a photo you posted then and wondering why they were so high compared to prices next door in Germany (higher even than prevailing prices in the U.S., if I remember correctly). Glad to hear that the new LGS owner eventually reduced them to something more reasonable.
Edited to add: That was you and not another poster, right? Don't always trust my memory these days.
