Nighthawk Custom is introducing four new Korth revolvers in .357 Magnum.  Whether or not you can afford the premium price tags, Korth revolvers are not easily forgotten.  TFB has covered them in the past and they are known for more traditional designs as well as the tactical features on some of their recent models.  Korth revolvers are made in Germany and Imported by Nighthawk Custom.  The four new revolvers from Korth are: Super Sport-Blue ALX, Super Sport-Red ULX, Ranger, and Mongoose Sliver.  The following images and specifications are from Nighthawk’s website.

KORTH SUPER SPORT – BLUE ALX

Like the Super Sport STX, the ALX features a front sight that can be pre-set at four different heights for quick aiming and ease of switching between distances in competition. The ALX also maintains the Lothar Walther cold-forged barrel featuring polygonal rifling. Finally, like other Korth Revolvers, the ALX is available with an optional fitted and tuned 9mm cylinder that allows the shooter to switch between .357 Magnum/.38 Special to an alternate 9mm cylinder without any tools in a matter of seconds.

FEATURES

The MSRP for the Super Sport- Blue ALX is $5,549.

KORTH SUPER SPORT – RED ULX

In response to customer demands for a lightweight Super Sport Model, Korth developed the Super Sport ULX. The ULX features the same functional characteristics as the standard model Super Sport STX, with a few enhancements. ULX stands for Ultra Lightweight and while this pistol still weighs in at 2.72 lbs, it is 15 ounces lighter than the standard model Super Sport.

FEATURES

The MSRP for the Super Sport- Red ULX is $5,549. 

KORTH RANGER

The Korth Ranger is one of the newest and most exciting offerings from Korth, available exclusively through Nighthawk Custom. The concept behind the Korth Ranger was to design a functional 4” barrel revolver that incorporated a picatinny rail on top for mounting optics, and below for mounting a light/laser. Like every Korth, the Ranger features all fully machined parts that are fitted by the hands of expert gunsmiths in Germany. The Ranger sports a skeletonized barrel shroud that shows the polished Lothar Walther Barrel through precisely machined windows.

FEATURES

The MSRP for the Korth Ranger is $4,799.

KORTH MONGOOSE SILVER

The Silver Mongoose from Korth features all the same features as the standard Nighthawk Mongoose, with an upgraded finish. Standard Mongoose models feature a black DLC finish, while the Silver Mongoose is coated with an equally durable silver DLC finish. Silver Mongoose models can only be produced in very limited numbers because of the increased polishing that is required on every surface before the revolver receives the coating. Finally, the Silver Mongoose comes standard with high-grade Turkish Walnut grips that provide a stunning appearance when matched with this unique finish.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR 6″:

• Finish: Silver DLC Coated
• Caliber: .357 Magnum, 9mm Cylinder Optional (Clipless)

I’ve not personally had the chance to hold a Korth revolver, let alone shoot one, but I’d like to give one a try.  For those who have shot a Korth, how was your experience?  For those interested in the high-end revolver market, which of the four models intrigues you the most?
