Also known as: Korth Super Sport Red ULX, Nighthawk Korth Super Sport ULX
Overview
The Korth Super Sport ULX is a German-made double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, built by Korth Waffen GmbH and imported to the United States by Nighthawk Custom. An ultra-lightweight evolution of the Super Sport line designed for Police Pistol Combat (PPC) competition, the ULX pairs a 6-inch Lothar Walther cold-hammer-forged polygonal barrel with a skeletonized 6061-T6 aluminum shroud to shed weight while retaining the precision-machined steel frame and tuned trigger the Korth marque is known for. It feeds from a six-round swing-out cylinder and can accept an optional fitted 9mm cylinder.

Background
Korth revolvers are among the most expensive production wheelguns in the world, hand-fit in Germany and long prized by collectors and competition shooters.
