Korth 9mm Revolver

I always enjoyed checking out the Korth booth at SHOT.  This little revolver is really cool.   I cant stand having a light mounted to my guns so therefore I hate rails on guns but other than that,  I'm really digging this.  Probably cost a small fortune.  I wonder if they will make one without the rails.

Just found out the rail is only on the right side.  I have a really good milling machine. LOL!!  :D

Very unusual; their semi-autos aren't too shabby either.

Being a 10mm fan this one caught my eye.  A little out of my price range though.

That's the range many of their larger revolvers run.  Totally out of my league.   I would hope the little 9mm would be more of a production program.   I wouldn't mind paying a premium price in the 1K range, maybe little more.

I looked at this at the show.  It's around $1k retail.

What makes this revolver worth over $14K???

I'm guessing they are machined from bar stock and probably all done on manual machines.  The photos over the years at SHOT shows a very nice but low tech machine shop.  It looks like one guy does all the work, one at a time.  Still, 14K?  Maybe I should make revolvers instead of knives! LOL!!!

It's called the "Sky Marshal"; interesting concept.

tracker, thanks for posting that.  I would be very interested in getting one at 1K.  I mean, its around the same price as an R9.  The rail would have to go though. It looks like it would snag on everything.    DA/SA,  I like the skeletonized hammer and overall it has a cool, modern look.  I'm drawn to ugly guns though, the old Steyr GB being one of my favorites :D

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.

 Why are the 9mm revolvers taking off? They are generally heavier & harder to conceal than a semi auto with no improvement in "stopping power" and typically are 5 round. Debatably more reliable with some great new designs but (to me) less practical. Is it the cool factor? Novelty?

I've never been a big revolver fan.  I have an old Dan Wesson .44 mag that I've had for years that I hunt with.  For me, I guess it would be a cool factor :)  I looked at the Charter Arms 9mm a while ago and it seems really nice for the money. I've heard good and bad about them though.

Many prospective buyers don't care for the moon clips on 9mm revolvers; that is one perceived advantage of the new Korth, no moon clip.

Moon clips seem like a pain in the a$$ at the range, but if you have watched Jerry Miculek doing speed reloads with 38's and 357's, that is what he uses.  They have proven to be faster than speed loaders.

Smith cuts the cylinders on their competition guns for them.
