Description
There’s something unmistakable about a Korth PRS the moment it comes into view: the balance, the machining, the way every surface seems intentionally sculpted rather than simply manufactured. This 5-inch PRS chambered in .45 ACP is a perfect example of that philosophy brought to life, blending German precision with modern performance styling in a way few pistols on the market can rival.
Finished in a deep, matte tactical black, the pistol carries an understated confidence. It doesn’t rely on flash; the beauty is in the details. The slide features Korth’s distinctive raised dimple texturing on the front and rear, providing visual contrast and functional grip for press checks and manipulations. Subtle slide serrations sit just behind the patterning, keeping the profile clean while maintaining usability.
Up front, the 5-inch match barrel is paired with a precision-fit compensator, seamlessly integrated into the slide’s lines. The fitment is exact, no visual interruption, no excess, just a continuation of the pistol’s purposeful geometry. It gives the PRS a commanding presence while reinforcing its performance pedigree.
The frame continues the same language of refinement. The sculpted trigger guard flows into an extended dust cover with an accessory rail, while the undercut allows for a high, natural grip. Controls are precisely machined and proportioned, with slide stop, ambidextrous safety, and magazine release all executed with the same attention to tactile feedback that defines the platform.
One standout visual element is the grip treatment. The black grip panels feature Korth’s signature circular stud pattern, each recess cleanly machined and evenly spaced, creating a striking contrast against the darker finish. It’s both decorative and functional, providing texture without harshness. The backstrap continues the theme with matching texturing, tying the entire grip frame together visually.
The match trigger is skeletonized and precision-cut, offering a crisp break that reflects the pistol’s competition DNA. Paired with the extended beavertail and skeletonized hammer, the ergonomics feel as refined as the machining looks.
As expected from Korth, the pistol is presented as a complete, cohesive package. All components, from the compensator to the magazine, are matched and fitted as a unified build, reinforcing its collector appeal and mechanical harmony. It arrives housed in its factory case with original documentation and accessories, maintaining the presentation standard expected of a high-end German Mastershop-level firearm.
This Korth PRS 5” in .45 ACP represents the intersection of precision engineering and modern luxury, a pistol built not just to perform, but to be appreciated. Whether displayed in a curated collection or experienced on the range, it carries the unmistakable presence that defines the Korth name.
