Overview
The Korth Combat Magnum is a German high-end double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, manufactured by Korth. Each example is largely hand-built, with a cold-forged precision barrel, a DLC-coated finish and a six-round swing-out cylinder. The Combat (National Standard Combat) line offers barrel lengths from roughly 2.75 to 6 inches and is renowned for its refined, externally adjustable mainspring trigger and its interchangeable cylinders in calibers such as .38 Special and 9mm Luger. Featuring an adjustable rear sight, a fast-change front sight and a Hogue mono rubber grip, it is positioned as a precision target and defensive revolver built to exacting tolerances rather than for volume production.
