    High End Revolver suggestions?

    I have many Korth revolvers. I also have S&W Registered Magnums, a Target Triple Lock, First Generation Colt SAAs, and just about every vintage of Pythons. Yes, the Korth is made of far better steel and fitted with far greater precision than Colt was back in its prime. Consider acquiring...

    High quality 9mm?

    U.S. prices run upward of $2000. Sphinx attended the last two SHOT Shows, but never got around to importing their guns. I think Edgar Budischowsky's Korriphila 701 is a much better choice in double action autopistols.

    If you could have only one .38 / 357...

    Notwithstanding the acuity of your mind's eye, the use of rollers in the trigger actions of Korth and Manurhin MR73 revolvers has nothing to do with any roller-locked autopistol actions. As for spending more time and money during manufacture, the limiting factor is the quality of materials...

    If you could have only one .38 / 357...

    Please consider suspending conclusions unsupported by experience. As shown in this Italian article, Korth revolvers use rollers, rather than roller bearing races. Likewise the Manurhin MR73, as witness this French account. No amount of gunsmithing can replicate the effect of these design features.

    The TOZ-36 is a dedicated, single action Nagant pattern target revolver, ready for ISU competition right out of the box.

    Looking down the barrel when examining revolver

    Pythons are for pikers. Mikhail Nestruev's 2007 centerfire pistol world record of 594/600 achieved with a Nagant-based TOZ-49 still stands.

    Looking down the barrel when examining revolver

    All revolvers allow for some radial movement at lockup, unless their design includes a second stage lockup. The classic example of the latter is the Colt V-spring action with its "Bank Vault Lockup", a licensed derivative of the Schmidt Galand patents. The gas sealed Nagant action goes even...

    Question about a Manurhin

    There exist Manurhin revolvers with matte blue finish, e.g. the Convertible and late production Silhouette and Match variants. In regard of more common variants, anything is possible, beginning with factory-commissioned engraving with gold inlay. An aftermarket refinish on a police or private...

    .357 magnum: Korth vs. Smith

    I own the P210-5 HF SN P315851. I also have four heavy forged frame P210-6 pistols. There is no comparison between their trigger actions; the earlier guns make the CNC piece feel mushy. I also have many Pythons ranging from the mid-Sixties blue steel through the mid-Nineties stainless pieces. It...

    .357 magnum: Korth vs. Smith

    This observation in no way undermines the study that found the Korth frame unaffected by loads that stretched the S&W M28 frame.

    .357 magnum: Korth vs. Smith

    This media device is known as FUD. Late production Korth revolvers, including the one tested in the referenced review, have fully adjustable barrel to cylinder gaps, in the manner of Dan Wesson. In other words, they can be set to accommodate any degree of fouling without binding. What exactly...

    .357 magnum: Korth vs. Smith

    My Sebenza is overdue for return to Chris Reeve for having reached the limit of its frame lock travel. That sort of thing never happens to my Skirmishes.
