I am not generally a revolver guy but this is so Bladerunner I want it big time. That price though... ouch.

Bad ass looking.

I just like the way the python looks more.

Yeah... At 5k, no thanks.

Yeah...you really have to be a revolver-nut to be willing to pay that $ amount for a 6 shooter .44 magnum. I mean, that price point is higher than what many high-end semi-auto's and bolt-action rifles go for.

Also, doesn't seem so practical for hunting: wood grips look cool, but you're going to want something softer and grippier for outdoor use. All those cut-out's in the barrel shroud are going to be a PITA to clean when it gets dirty/rusty.

I just don't see the attraction, at any price.

I actually like the bulky, slaby look of the barrel shrouds of these Nighthawk/Korth revolvers but I detest the slots/rails they put all over them. Just leave the lines clean please.

I love revolvers, but I think that thing is hideous. I wouldn’t buy it for $52.99, let alone $5,299.

But, there’s an ass for every seat.

Or is it a seat for every ass?

 

[Darth]

Outrageous price.

I could buy almost 2 Barrets at that price.

And I do actually plan on buying one of those.

I've been hounding Korth/Nighthawk to make an 8 round 9mm cylinder conversion for their .357 models when they started selling in the US.
Freaking hard headed Germans want to sell in the US, but give us models made for their shooting disciplines. Boring.
They think they can put rails all over the pistol and it's going to be a hit over here ?
It's just a very expensive 6 shot revolver and we have plenty of dependable, reasonably priced 6 shot revolvers to choose from.
I've been lucky enough to have shot (Not owned) many Korth revolvers and they are night & day compared to the best US made or custom revolvers.
You can only do so much with internals and the korth internals are made like Swiss watches that can take the abuse of 50,000 magnum rounds fired.
I love my wife and my 929, but I would be getting a divorce and ditching the S&W if they came out with an 8 shot 9mm moon clip cylinder.
