Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone own a Korth?

[redneckbmxer24]

Anyone own a Korth or few, ideally that shoots it a good bit? Or at least been around some with high round counts? How have they held up?

I’m thinking about buying an NXR 6” and curious about long term reliability. I see people mention their reliability but never mention round count and they usually look like museum pieces.

I have two with around 1000 rnds total.

I have the Mongoose with 9mm and .357 cylinders. About 250 rounds with 9mm. No problems. Never shot the .357 cylinder. I have a Colt Python for that.

There was some really good vids from “life size potato” I think (dude is heavy into shooting euro stuff) on how the Korth and the manurhin kick the shit out of American guns and would last 5-10x longer in service when I went down this rabbit hole.

Now with newer imports I have no idea if this still holds true as some people have toasted newer mr73s. Theres a NHC Korth user over on 1911addicts that’s super pissed that his Korth is not up to snuff.

A range up north posted that the forcing cone of their Manurhin MR73 357 magnum started to split after 15K rounds.

I have a korth Ranger with factory comp.

Just because i have a bunch of it.

They are outstanding. Get one you will not be disappointed

I and my wife own three. Her 9mm Sky Hawk has the most rounds of the three through it. Somewhere between 1k and 2k rounds. Not a lot. She shoots it on a regular basis, but only 30-40 rounds at a time to stay on current with it.

I own a SuperSport and a Mongoose 4". I have .357 mag and 9mm cylinders for both. Mine are mostly range toys and don't see near as many rounds as the guns I/we shoot on a weekly basis.

As expected, no problems with any of ours. The SS and Sky Hawk below.

I had an NXS, 8rd 357. It was nice but Nighthawk doesnt really offer any after market support and nothing else fits them. I sold it and used the funds to have TK Customs build me a couple N frame smiths with no MIM parts
