Description
The Korriphila HSP 701 stands as one of the most refined expressions of German precision pistol craftsmanship, produced in exceptionally limited numbers by Korriphila Präzisionsmechanik under the direction of Edgar Budischowsky. Designed without compromise, the HSP 701 blends mechanical elegance with purposeful engineering, resulting in a pistol that feels as deliberate as it is rare.
This example is chambered in .45 ACP and configured in double-action with a decocker, offering a sophisticated operating system that balances safety, usability, and mechanical purity. The pistol features a finely machined steel slide and frame with a deep, satin-black finish, complemented by beautifully contoured, checkered wooden grips that provide both visual warmth and excellent ergonomics.
True to Korriphila standards, every component reflects meticulous hand-fitting and finishing. Slide travel is exceptionally smooth, controls operate with precision, and tolerances are exact, hallmarks of a pistol built more like a precision instrument than a mass-produced firearm. The design emphasizes balance and shootability, while maintaining the understated, functional aesthetic that defines Korriphila’s philosophy.
This pistol is accompanied by its original factory materials, including documentation and accessories, all of which match the pistol and present as a cohesive, factory-correct ensemble. Such complete and well-preserved examples are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in the .45 ACP double-action configuration.
The Korriphila HSP 701 is widely regarded as one of the finest post-war European pistols ever produced, an object of mechanical art as much as a firearm. For the advanced collector, it represents not only rarity but a benchmark in precision handgun design.
