Description
Some revolvers impress with performance. Others with looks. This Korth Combat Revolver, built in 1987, manages to do both, and does it with the kind of flair only Korth could pull off. Hand-built in Germany and chambered in both .357 Magnum and 9mm, it includes the factory caliber-exchange cylinder that lets you move between power and precision with ease. Practicality meets artistry in one unforgettable piece.
At first glance, it’s the finish that stops you. The deep, high-polish blue looks almost liquid under light, one of those old-world mirror finishes that modern guns rarely pull off anymore. The dark walnut grips sit against it perfectly, warm and classic, giving the revolver both balance and contrast. Gold-plated accents, on the hammer, trigger, and select small parts, add just enough brilliance to make it stand out without ever feeling overdone.
And then there’s the engraving. Delicate oak leaves swirl across the frame, each one catching the gold inlay just so. The left side carries Korth’s signature unicorn crest, enclosed in a gold-lined shield, a mark of individuality and pride. Flip it over and you’ll find engraved initials, small but meaningful, adding a hint of personal history to an already storied piece.
The 4-inch barrel keeps it balanced, lively in the hand but steady on target. It arrives in its fitted faux-leather Korth case with working combination locks, a perfect match to the revolver’s era. The original 1987 German proof marks are still crisp, sealing their authenticity.
This isn’t just another revolver; it’s an object of craftsmanship. Equal parts mechanical precision and visual art, this Korth Combat sits at that rare intersection where engineering and elegance truly meet.
