new $900 korth

Woof.

That is fugly...

I'll bet is has no effect on S&W or Taurus markets because of that price tag.

No way I'd pay $900 for a pistol that ugly...especially if it only shoots a 9mm. What's the point? The ONLY advantage it MIGHT have over a semi-auto 9mm with higher capacity or quick reloading capability is reliability. Still wouldn't pay that much for it...even if it is a Korth.

Lol, maybe a look at the other side will change your mind




or not...
good lord...is that a rail section behind the cylinder, or is that for, uh...aesthetics?
this is going in with the chiappa rhino as "so ugly that I kind of want one"
look at that though...supposed to be the industry's first 9mm speedloader.

That gun makes a Webley look like the Statue of David.

This is the year of the 9mm Revolver !

There are now more 9mm revolvers available from more manufacturers than ever before:

S&W with 2 offerings the 986 and the 929
Ruger with the LCR
Charter Arms with the PITBULL
Taurus with the 905 (blued & stainless)
Korth with the Sky Marshall

And I'm going to count the Alfa Proj imports even though Dan Brown has been super behind schedule getting them so far.

You can figure out most of what he is saying:

Looking at the video - this is another 9mm revolver that doesn't require moon clips

Low bore axis it has not.

On the one hand I applaud making a 9mm revolver that's actually sized to fit 9mm.

On the other hand, the idea of a "Sky Marshall" concealed carry weapon with a rail on one side is ridiculous. There's no place on a CC weapon for any add-ons and it's just going to make clearing a holster harder.

Dear god..... Is it a flare gun?

Abomination

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Showing up in the next Call of Duty game in 3...2...

Shame they didn't keep the usual style of cylinder release. Although, the angle on that one may be better than anything from the American companies.

Still, it looks like something Charter would do. I wouldn't pay $700 for it if S&W made it, so I won't pay nine for it from Korth. I wonder if they considered that Americans with that kind of money can have custom revolvers built with whatever weird feature they want?

Yeah..this was much better than a 327 comeback...

IS THERE A REASON WHY YOUR FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER?
Safety first, don't break the 4 rules.

Strange looking revolver and not what I would expect from such a high end company.

Are you sure you didn't confuse KELTEC and KORTH?

I'm going to buy it

That's one ugly revolver. I hate the 45° slant on the front of the frame.

I hate to say it but bubba with a bandsaw, a grinder, and a buffing wheel could take a notch out from under the barrel, get rid of the rails, and probably make it look better.

I can't believe I just said that about a Korth and meant it.

Wonder what reason they saw to make it. I mean, maybe people will buy it because it's a $900 Korth, and the fact that the company can make some profit is reason enough. But does it actually bring something to the table? Not that I can see.

Is that a polymer frame? Hard to tell.

I actually think it's pretty cool. I probably wouldn't pay $900 for it and I can't figure out why the pic rail section is on the right hand side of the gun. Lastly it should be a 4" barrel.

Still if someone gave it to me I'd shoot the snot out of it!

Oh wow...it is a rail behind the cylinder...I thought it was just a styling thing.

Its the most snag-o-riffic pocket revolver ever!
Someone should email them a link to crimson trace.

seriously though, looks those side rails and extra blubber under the barrel would come right off with a steady hand and a good mill. Re-contour the frame, strip that matte finish and polish then reblue it.
It would take a lot of work but I'll bet it that Korth could be made to look half decent.
I do like the rear sight. It looks adjustable, visible, and beefy.

Looks like your support hand fingers will be awful close to that cylinder gap

Will Korth Finger be the next Garand Thumb

Ugh! I wouldn't want that for even a third of the asking price. This gun actually makes a Chiappa Rhino look good.
