Nighthawk Custom & Korth Release Ranger .357 Magnum Revolver
Just a couple of weeks ago Nighthawk Custom & Korth released a new, beautiful, .357 Magnum revolver. Now they are introducing a meaner model apparently based on the same frame: the Korth Ranger .357. Again this is part of the four new releases initially announced a few months back.
Nighthawk Custom & Korth Release Ranger .357 Magnum Revolver
Here below the full Press Release:
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.
FULLY MACHINED PARTS
Like every Korth, the Ranger features all fully machined parts that are fitted by the hands of expert gunsmiths in Germany.
FILLS MANY ROLES
The Ranger sports a skeletonized barrel shroud that shows the polished Lothar Walther Barrel through precisely machined windows. Beautiful Jim Wilson model Turkish Walnut Grips are standard, and combined with a DLC finish, they provide a contrast that is both visually appealing and highly functional.
The Nighthawk Custom website lists the following Specifications and Features:

The Korth Ranger offers certainly a more modern take on the lines of the Mongoose. Whether you love the aggressive features or you think it looks like the result of a German honeymoon between a S&W TRR8 and a Ruger Super GP100, this model surely reflects the build quality Korth is known for. Starting at $4,799.00 the Ranger is far from cheap, yet more accessible than the Mongoose Silver.

I don't care for the slots cut into the barrel shroud, but that's mainly an aesthetic issue. Price? If you can afford it, knock yourself out.
Nice article you right it
