Wheelgun Wednesday: The Korth Callahan Revolver

    Wheelgun Wednesday Korth Callahan (6)

    In today’s Wheelgun Wednesday we are taking a quick look at a new Korth revolver dubbed Callahan that was recently announced by Nighthawk Custom. As you might have guessed, it’s named after Clint Eastwood’s character inspector Harold Francis Callahan from the Dirty Harry series of movies. Being a Dirty Harry-themed wheelgun, the Korth Callahan is of course chambered in the Dirty Harry cartridge, the .44 Magnum. Well, inspector Callahan carried a Smith & Wesson Model 29, but this German revolver has a similar big magnum wheelgun vibe and will blow your head clean off just like the Smith and Wesson.
