Description
The Korth PRS 5” in .45 ACP represents the fusion of German precision engineering and modern performance-driven design, executed at a level rarely seen in the world of high-end semi-automatic pistols. Built entirely by hand in Germany, the PRS platform is Korth’s interpretation of the classic 1911, reimagined through the lens of contemporary craftsmanship, elite materials, and uncompromising tolerances.
This example features a striking all-black configuration, where the deep matte finish provides a purposeful contrast to the warmth of the finely figured walnut grip panels. The wood adds an organic balance to the pistol’s otherwise industrial character, elevating the visual presence without distracting from the firearm’s performance intent. The sculpted beavertail, precision-cut checkering, and aggressively textured front strap ensure the pistol remains as functional as it is refined.
Up front, the extended 5” slide and barrel configuration delivers the sight radius and balance expected from a competition-bred platform. The slide flats are clean and deliberate, accented by Korth’s signature engraving and distinctive textured press-check panels, a subtle but unmistakable design cue unique to the PRS line. The match-grade barrel, visible through the ejection port, reflects the meticulous fitting standards that define Korth’s manufacturing philosophy.
The trigger system is equally noteworthy, featuring a skeletonized competition trigger tuned for a crisp, consistent break. Every control surface, from the extended thumb safety to the slide stop, is machined and fitted with the same attention to detail found throughout the pistol.
Accompanying the firearm is its factory presentation set, including original case, documentation, tools, and accessories, all matching and correct to the pistol, reinforcing its collector appeal and completeness as a gallery-worthy example.
In both execution and presence, the Korth PRS 5” in .45 ACP stands at the intersection of precision sport shooting and luxury firearm artistry, a modern German masterwork built for those who appreciate mechanical excellence without compromise.
