Description
The Korth PRS 5″ is the slightly rebellious cousin of the PRS family. Instead of the usual .45 ACP, this one runs 9mm, and that change alone makes it interesting. It still carries Korth’s surgical attention to detail: a cold-forged precision barrel, a 4-inch slide, and a fixed 1-inch barrel weight all combine to give it predictable recoil and spot-on accuracy.
Finish and function are both first-rate. The pistol wears a DLC coating that resists wear and looks businesslike, while the adjustable rear sight and quick-change front sight let you tune the setup fast. Internally you get the Korth signature: a roller-locking system with an HK-style bolt head, and parts that are 1911-compatible so you can tweak the trigger or swap parts if you like to tinker.
Ergonomics are thoughtful. The 1911-style trigger gives a smooth, consistent pull. The fast hammer feeds reliably. At 8.86 inches overall, 5.51 inches tall, 0.98 inches wide, and about 2.85 pounds, it balances like something meant to be shot, not just shown. That balance, paired with tight tolerances, is why the PRS-5 feels less like a production pistol and more like a precision instrument.
This example comes in its original Korth wood box with all original documents, which makes it collectible-grade straight away. For people who want a Korth with a twist—modern, accurate, and a little rare—this PRS-5 is a smart pick. It’s practical on the range and handsome in the case, which is exactly where you want a Korth to live.
