I'd love a Korth Korth, I don't need Nighthawk plastering their logo on it though.

 

Agreed!

 

None of my Korths have the Nighthawk logo.

I have several Nighthawks and several Korths, but I don’t mix them. That being said, they are great revolvers either way.

 

Very nice, but I’d prefer a Manurhin. If I’m spending that much on a revolver, it will be carried and fired a lot. I’d feel guilty marring that pretty Korth finish.

 

That’s a DLC finish on the Korth. Unless you’re talking about the old Korth’s blued finish, that is.

 

My Korth Mongoose is one of my favorite handguns. I have the 51/4" barrel and both cylinders, and it is really fun to shoot. Most people I've let shoot it end up wanting one even if they are not into revolvers. There is something very satisfying about shooting it double action and it's great not having to chase brass all over the range.

I always appreciate fine machining/surface grinding and design, but for what a Korth revolver is, it's still a revolver whose 1500% higher price tag doesn't even offer 1000% more of anything in return over a similar high(er) end 'Smith or Colt revolver. I see them mainly as a prestige firearm and have never known anyone who owns and carries a Korth revolver as their personal protection.

One could create a superbly machined and finished 1911 for big $$, and what would they have? A superbly machined and finished 1911 that they paid big $$ for. And what's the Korth? A superbly machined and finished revolver that costs big $$.

Similarly, I see more value in a Timex watch than I do a Rolex, which I'm sure pisses off the Rolex guys too, LOL. Whatever!!

 

Funny post.
Do you realize that over the course of a few years a stainless Rolex will appreciate substantially in value, while your Timex tanks?
When I purchased my Nighthawk T3 I ordered a holster with it. I carried it quite a bit when I got it. I've seriously considered ordering a Korth with a shorter barrel than my Mongoose for carry, but ultimately decided against it. It would be great for hiking.

 

Just curious and I realize one is single action only but how does a Freedom.Arms revolver stack up against a Korth ?
Are they just as tight and accurate as a Freedom Arms revolver? I can't imagine a gun having better tolerances than my Freedom.Arms 97.

 

I own both. It’s really apples and oranges, due to one being SA. Tolerances are similar

 

Great, another Korth thread...I need to run get my popcorn.

 

I greatly admire the engineering, precision manufacturing and quality of Korths, but they don't do anything for me aesthetically. Neither do Manurhins.

 

Make guns no hand fitting required.

 

That’s what cheap guns like Ruger or SW are for.
