Korth Sky Marshal
« on: June 27, 2015, 08:29:09 pm »
An unconventional look to be sure but I want the hell out of this revolver. Someday...

Yes, yes, "Good luck finding a holster!" Me? "Shaddapayouface!"

















To all those killed by a 9mm, "Get up! You are not dead! You were shot with a useless cartridge!" -HVS

"You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do." Rorschach-Watchmen

    Regular 9mm?  Come on, you know you need it in 9x23 or something.

    I think the design itself is sufficiently unorthodox to appeal to HVS, even if it is chambered in the world's most common pistol round. :p

    Okaaaaaay.... so it's pretty much a K-Frame with an extra short cylinder & barrel, weird sights, and Picatinny rails on the left side of the frame... and an ejector rod that's probably a smidge too short.

    Eh, whatever floats your boat.

    :shrug

    It doesn't appeal to me at all, but then again I'm the guy who thinks the Porsche Panamera looks sexy, so who am I to judge?

    That is shockingly attractive. Yes there is something a little off about it, a bit unorthodox, but like an otherwise flawless model whom is missing just one of her fingers or has a very slight lazy eye, some things can be overlooked  :neener  :P.

    Do we forget that cops were primarily still using 6 Shot Revolvers well through the mid 80's? It wasn't until after 1986 that most departments then relented and went to autos.

    Really is one of the ugliest handguns out there. 
    This is a drastic departure from Korth's normally gorgeous handguns.

    It looks like a modern 928 that got stung by a bee, right on the butt and had some horrific allergic reaction.

    Is this the short barrel version of what Korth showed at SHOT?  The one that most range reports said the extraction was cool but not 100%?  Not dogging, but I am not sold.
