I want to own a Korth

[Gasser64]

Does anybody here own a Korth? I have always wanted one just to say I had it. I imagine that they must be just pure awesomeness.

I have held them, revolvers and semis. The revolvers have the tightest cylinder lockup I have ever seen, and they ooze old school German artisanal craftsmanship.

The semi auto I held was bizarre. The way the barrel locks is fascinating. Willie Korth designed his own proprietary locking system by which a sort of tilting breech block at the front of the barrel lowers into the frame, kind of like a p38/FAL hybrid. The gun had no rattles, and the tolerances were so tight that they would give a metrologist a hard time. I looked into getting one one time (my inner child chose a machine gun instead), and the way you do it is contact Korth USA, and they put you in touch with the German outfit. You can either fill out your spec sheet here, or fly to Germany to have one hand fitted and try them out and such.

That is all the help I can provide. But here is some Korth porn:

That revolver is beautiful. I keep thinking one day I might see a Korth somewhere at like a pawn shop or something. Where they dont even know what they've got. And get it for cheap

I can dream can't I

[Cooter]

yeah, that revolver is beautiful

the auto not so much

[Trip McNeely]

That semi-auto looks like it would be a PITA to take down and clean, and even worse to put back together. Looks like a semi-auto/revolver hybrid. Kind of cool.

I wonder how awesome it is?

[Gasser64]

I dont know if you would notice such a difference to call it awesome but the build quality is the best of the best
