Description
Some guns are made to look pretty. Others are made to work. The Korth PRS-5 does both, and it does them without apology.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this is a pistol for people who want substance behind the shine. The stainless steel finish is tough and clean, the anodized aluminum grips feel purposeful in your hand, and the single-action trigger is crisp enough to make you forgive the rest of your week. It’s the kind of trigger that rewards attention.
Dimensions matter here. A 5-inch barrel gives the sight radius and balance that shooters crave. Overall length is 8.86 inches, height 5.51 inches, and it’s just under an inch wide. It weighs 2.85 pounds, which is the sweet spot: heavy enough to tame recoil, light enough to stay lively on follow-ups. Capacity sits at seven rounds, a sensible mix of form and function.
But specs only tell part of the story. What you’ll remember is the way everything fits: the seams are tight, the machining is clean, and the mechanics move with that deliberate Korth feel you don’t get from mass production. It’s a pistol that behaves like it was studied, tested, and then made better.
Take it to the range and it performs. Put it in a case, and it looks right at home. Collectors will nod at the craftsmanship, shooters will notice the balance, and anyone who cares about both will understand why this model earns its place in a serious collection.
Short version: it’s beautiful, it shoots, and it feels right. That’s not marketing talk. That’s Korth.
