I have a rimfire Korth revolver that was built in 1969, still under the original owner. He made sure that the quality was excellent or better. I have had the priviledge to visit their old shop in Ratzeburg before it closed in 2008 and got a tour of the shop by their master gunsmith.

I have a few friends in Germany that have shot their .357 Mag Korth revolvers - the newer models - with the barrel sleeve, extensively and they hold up very well, much better than the Python. The action of my 1974 Python is nowhere close to what the action of the Korth is. The trigger is on a roller bearing. I shoot my rimfire Korth a lot and it is unbelievable how reliable the ignition is with such a light mainspring. Is it more accurate than my 1954 S&W K22? Maybe not but the trigger pull will help it to shoot more consistently.

There are few revolvers of that quality, Freedom Arms and the Manurhin MR73 are the only ones that can hold a candle to a Korth.
