Description
Call it old-world engineering with a modern attitude. The Korth PRS-Five Stainless Steel is a European direct import built around one idea: make a .45 ACP that feels like a precision tool and looks like a showpiece. It’s stainless from toe to top, with blue-steel grips and black rubber inlays that somehow manage to be elegant and seriously grippy at the same time.
Specs you’ll want to know: a 5-inch barrel, 8.86-inch overall length, 5.51-inch height, 0.98-inch width, and about 2.85 pounds on the scale. Those numbers add up to a pistol that rides steady in the hand and points like it means business. The fixed rear sight and fast-changeable front sight give you practical options for sighting, while the roller-locking system with an HK-style bolt head translates into rock-solid lockup and predictable recoil control.
Why .45 ACP? Because sometimes you want authority. This PRS-Five handles the cartridge with calm confidence, and the 1911-compatible trigger and functional parts mean you’ve got flexibility if you like to tinker. Fit and finish are Korth-level obsessive: tight gaps, smooth edges, finely finished controls. Little things add up. The grips feel warm, the controls are crisp, and the action cycles with that satisfying, confident click.
This one ships in the original Korth box with all factory documents, which matters to collectors. Provenance is part of the package here. If you want a .45 that reads like a precision instrument but behaves like a practical shooter, the PRS-Five balances both worlds. It’s serious, it’s handsome, and yes, it’s Korth — which is another way of saying it was made to last.
