Description
There’s something about the Korth Classic 3” that just pulls you in. Maybe it’s the way the Blue-Rainbow finish shifts under the light like oil on water. Maybe it’s the crisp lines and compact frame. Or maybe it’s the way this revolver, chambered in .38/.357 Magnum, feels like it belongs in both a high-end gallery and a holster.
At just 8.41 inches long with a 3-inch barrel, it’s built for balance—small enough to handle easily, but with the kind of presence that makes you pause. It’s not featherlight either, weighing in at 2.69 lbs. That heft? It gives it substance. A reassuring kind of weight, like when you pick up a solid old tool that’s never let anyone down.
Now let’s talk looks. The finish—Korth’s signature Blue-Rainbow—isn’t just pretty, it’s mesmerizing. You almost expect it to hum with energy. White grips pop against that iridescent body, while subtle gold accents (yes, even a 14K gold bead front sight) turn up the elegance without shouting. And the rear sight? Fully adjustable, because form without function isn’t Korth’s style.
There’s a certain joy in owning something that’s been built this carefully. Every line is deliberate, every surface finished to perfection. And when you see that serial number—701915—you’re not just looking at a firearm, you’re holding a singular creation with its own story.
Of course, it’s a collector’s piece. But more than that, it’s a conversation starter, a centerpiece, maybe even a bit of a show-off. It comes tucked in the original Korth wooden case—handsome and understated, like the revolver itself—with all original documentation included. Everything you’d want if you’re the type who cares about provenance as much as performance.
Whether it ends up behind glass or becomes your weekend pride-and-joy at the range, one thing’s for sure—this isn’t just another revolver. The Korth Classic 3” is what happens when craftsmanship, design, and a little bit of daring come together. For the collector who’s seen it all, this might just be the one that makes them look twice.
