Description
Some pistols are built to perform. Others are built to impress. The Korth PRS-5 does both, and it does it quietly—with precision, not pomp.
Chambered in .45 ACP, this one feels purposeful the second you pick it up. The black DLC coating looks stealthy, and it actually earns the name: it takes abuse, fights corrosion, and keeps the pistol looking clean long after a hard day at the range. The red-and-black polymer grips aren’t just for show; they give you a confident purchase without feeling harsh on the hand. Comfort matters when you’re shooting for groups.
Mechanically, it’s all business. The 5-inch barrel and 8.86-inch overall length give a sight radius that helps you drive tight strings. At 5.51 inches high and just under an inch wide, the ergonomics are compact and sensible. The weight—2.85 pounds—tames recoil without making the pistol feel like a brick. Seven-round capacity keeps the lines classic while giving you enough firepower to feel secure.
What you remember after firing it is how everything fits together. The single-action trigger is crisp and predictable; the tolerances are tight; the controls fall where your hand expects them to. It’s a pistol that rewards practice, not one that masks sloppy fundamentals.
Take it to a match and it behaves. Put it in a case, and it looks like it belongs there. Collectors will appreciate the finish and fit; shooters will appreciate the function. Either way, the PRS-5 reads as a complete package: elegant enough to admire, rugged enough to use.
Short version: elegant, rugged, and honest. That’s the Korth PRS-5.
