OMG new Nighthawk Korth!!!

[gdawg]

I think it looks good, personally (the non-railed version that is), but at more than 5K all in, I'm not seeing the value proposition over other revolvers on the market either.

Looks like it finished last in an axe-fighting contest.

 

[KidGlock]

Sorry that is just ucking fugly. A tacticool revolver? Blech

I agree! For a wheelgun priced between $3000-$10000, the gun better be able to shoot 10Xs all by itself with you blindfolded.
It would be so embarassing to show up with a Korth and have some guy with a Taurus outshoot you!

It's always far more about the shooter than the gun in my experience.

I guess we'll see how the production model pans out. I'm sure the Ruger is a fine gun, but not quite the same market. The relationship between price v quality has never been linear.

I've found that holds true for a variety of products. You can often buy something 95% as good for a fraction of the cost of "the best".

Ah those pesky Taurus'!

For sure. The 'best' and 'quality' are also pretty subjective. Sometimes these prices are more a reflection of exclusivity. Personally, I'm willing to shell out a bit more for something unique and / or no longer in production.

Good find OP. Looks like they are also making a standard model called the Mongoose, that will be available in 5 1/4" and 6" barrels. Retail starting at 4500 cad. Be really curious to learn what the differences are between these and the full custom German models for 10K

Now THAT'S nice!

I have to add my $0.02, I really, really, really dislike that hammer on a revolver. Just looks stupid...is it a Nighthawk 1911, or is it a Korth? Something like this goes on in my head when I look at it...

or...

 

[bb512]

sorry rl1, i have to agree with the boys on this on, it's uuuugly. Looks like a ribbed dildo that a militant dyke would use.

lol

 

[krausb]

I have to say, I'm kinda liking this 9mm snubbie....

This is the Sky Marshal from Korth. Ingenious no clips 9mm with specialy design speed loaders (if the need be). MSRP... $900-$1000 US

[bigdaddyeo]

why does it have side rails??? Going to mount a laser or flashlight on your revolver? So you can put on flip up sights and shoot the gun sideways? Pretty lame especially for the price tag.

This gotta be prohibited for sure in Canada.

 

[CV32]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's just about the ugliest revolver second only to the chiappa Rhino. Sorry.

Agreed. To each his own, but ... ick.

 

[krausb]

Oh, absolutely. It is only available with either a 2" or 3" barrel. But still, it's a pretty neat looking little revolver.

its a good looking snubby.
i would prefer it with a shaved hammer i think.

 

[Foxer2373]

Swooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Anything similar out there in the non 6k range lol? Just general style in a heavy caliber? Looking to buy my first revolver but looking for a big boy gun. Lol if I was going to spend over 2k id just buy a Desert 50AE.

 

[burnaby]

Really can't compare a revolver to a pistol though this Korth sure got tacticalled.
