Korth revolvers are they worth it?

[carlton wright]

Anyone have experience with these guns? Hand made supposed to be the best out there but starting at 8k for a new one . Are they really that good for that price you can pick up 2 to 4 pythons. They say you get what you pay for but I just think it seems outrageous. I doubt anyone local actually owns one but if you happen to have one in the glove compartment of your Royals Royce I would like to know what makes them actually that much better than a python or even a Smith

Never seen one but for 8 grand it better the the Rolls Royce of the handguns

8 grand

Never heard of these, can't imagine ever getting performance commensurate with that kind of price. Nice looking guns though. Can't imagine buying a Rolls or a $500 pocket knife either, so maybe I'm just cheap.

Korth revolvers are German quality through and through. Recently they have teamed up with nighthawk custom to become more prevalent in the U.S. Market. I'm really digging this one.

I need to get one for my truck gun.

This is perhaps #1 of the few wild unicorns on my list. A Korth 357 was going for $5k+ back when you get could a Python for under 1500. I am not sure why the new ones are that much other than exclusivity of the name. The older ones are pricey for sure.

If you are not ready for that jump, look for Manurhin in really good shape.

Really? That's hideous, IMO.

$8K is a lot. You can get a fully customized tricked-out S&W for half that. The Pythons-- as no one can work on them any more (no parts), are safe queens if the owners have any sense.

I don't think it's as bad as this one.
