I have a couple or more S&W, Colt, Korths, Manurhin and Sauer & Sohn DA revolvers and love the old Ratzeburg Korths.

A friend, who owns a Lollar Korth and won a few state championships with it in Germany shot one of my Ratzeburg Korth rimfire revolvers before exporting it. When I asked him how he liked it, he just said that he found it not better than his S&W 617. When I received the gun, I knew why. It took me a whole morning to clean and adjust that almost 50 year old gun. It had a terrible DA pull when I got it but now it is once more a great Ratzeburg Korth!
