Description
Some revolvers announce themselves. This Korth Combat doesn’t shout, it simply arrives. Short, stout, and obsessively finished, this .357 Magnum with a 3¼-inch barrel feels like a handshake from a master gunsmith: firm, precise, and somehow quietly reassuring.
It’s German engineering in microcosm. The action is tuned to near-perfection, vault-tight cylinder lockup, virtually no play, and a DA/SA trigger that rewards focus: the double-action roll is smooth and deliberate, the single-action break is glassy and surgical. Pull it and you’ll notice what everyone talks about with Korths: the mechanical harmony. Everything works together, not against you.
The finish is a deep, polished blue that catches light without ever flirting with flash. It reads restrained and serious, the look of a tool that also understands elegance. The grip is custom-contoured walnut, hand-fitted and sculpted to disappear into your palm; textured where you need it, ergonomic where it counts. It’s not just comfortable. it feels like part of the package, as if the revolver was designed around that grip from day one.
This example comes complete with a classic Korth locking briefcase, nicely appointed and made to protect the gun in style. That case says something: this is a revolver meant to be preserved, not tossed in a drawer. Low serials, fine fit, and the sort of finish that makes collectors pause, this one’s for the person who wants mechanical art that can actually be used.
In short: compact power, hand-built refinement, and that rare combination of shootability and presence. Bring it to the range, keep it in the safe, or display it under glass, either way you’ll find yourself smiling every time you pick it up.
