A hunting handgun for the wealthy

[lobo56]

Probably open cylinder with little button at the front of cylinder????

How do you open the cylinder?

You never have to open the Cylinder. This pistol is so high tech that it never has to be reloaded!

I'd like to own a Korth but I wouldn't hunt with it.

Hunting 44

How much? I almost thought it said $6000!

 

[jimisbell]

I agree....UGLY grips. I have a rifle with an ugly "laminated" (plywood) stock and would love to know how to cover it, other than paint.

LOL........Reminds me of those Western movies and the 10-20 shot revolvers.

Wow, that is ugly.

I still think the S&W 629s are the best looking 44s. They have worked pretty well for me, and I could likely get all barrel lengths for the price of a Korth.

And with a short barrel that's not a 460 nor 500?

Wealthy: did Freedom Arms go out of business? then nothing left to discuss

I still kick myself for not getting a 460 ES or a 500 ES. I never warmed up to the look of the later 3.5" barreled slab-sided versions.

BAKPAKR, hard to argue with success ! I guess you did not get the memo about not using a short barrel 44 for hunting and your trophies didn't get the memo as well, Haaa !
Great pics!
I agree the 29's look great, I have a 4".
My favorite 44 for hunting is a Super Redhawk with a 30mm Ultradot. I always start with factory loads before I load for a new purchase. I was about to send it back to Ruger because several 240 grain loads did not group well at all, but then I bout a box of 300 Grain HSM XTP's and wow, 3-3.5" groups at 100 yds.

Guess it depends how close those critters were. May not have had room to swing longer barrel???? Notice absence of holster/carry rig in all pics. First pic is longer barrel.

And?
I am not going to downplay good performance!
Have a blessed day

I have a couple of old nylon Bianchi holsters that I set up crossdraw on my pack belt. The deer, elk, and bear I have shot with revolvers have usually been within 35 yards. Exceptions were the elk in the photo with the longer barreled 629 (6" or 6.5" - I forget which) and a buck with a 3" which were both about 75 yards.

I did shoot a mountain goat at longer (for me) range with a scoped T/C Contender.

All of those nooks and crannies around the barrel and it's shroud to fill up with dirt and debris. I'm guessing whomever designed that revolver isn't really a hunter.

For a low volume assembly as complicated as a revolver I think that price is remarkably low.
