Description
This is a pre-series model that was featured on the Shot Show and the 2014 Range Day. These weapons have significant technical changes to the subsequent production. These are unique exhibits.
There are pistols that simply function, and then there are pistols that announce themselves the moment light hits steel. This Korth PRS 4-inch—finished in a striking two-tone combination—is unmistakably the latter. Number 5 in its series, it carries perfectly matching numbers throughout, underscoring its place as a cohesive, intentionally crafted piece rather than a mere assembly of parts.
The PRS platform represents Korth’s rare venture into the world of high-end semi-automatic pistols, blending German precision engineering with the soul of a hand-built firearm. Its two-tone finish is a study in contrasts: deep, shadowed black along the slide’s upper surfaces, paired with brushed stainless steel flats that catch and play with ambient light. The bold red Korth logo adds a modern flourish—subtle from a distance, commanding up close.
A set of warm, beautifully grained walnut grips anchors the gun visually and balances the metalwork with an organic touch. Every edge, cut, and mechanical interface reflects Korth’s reputation for uncompromising craftsmanship. From the precisely machined barrel to the finely tuned fire-control components, nothing on this .45 ACP is accidental.
The 4-inch configuration offers a perfect midpoint, compact enough for lively handling, yet substantial enough to preserve the PRS’s trademark stability and balance. It is a pistol built to perform, but equally built to be admired. Korth’s hallmark fitment is immediately apparent: smooth cycling, tight lockup, and the unmistakable feel of a firearm shaped by human hands rather than production lines.
Examples of the PRS are exceptionally scarce, and finding one with matching numbers, a two-tone finish, and presentation-grade condition places this piece in a category all its own. For collectors of German masterworks, modern precision pistols, or rare Korth production, this PRS 4-inch stands as an exceptional opportunity, equal parts engineering achievement and modern collectible.
