Never heard of it. Had to look it up. Found someone else's opinion of it (link below), However, here is my take:
Korth make a big deal of the fixed barrel, yet the sights are on the slide, and the slide floats relative to the barrel. So, the Korth may group well from a frame mounted machine rest, but will it group when the sights are used? How is this better than a "hard fit" Browning 1911, where the sights are locked to the barrel before the slide and barrel part, until after the bullet has left the barrel? Looks like an expensive answer to a question no one was asking.
Very nice. Never knew it existed until now. I guess nighthawk didnt want to push a semi auto either for obvious reasons and korth probably wont allow a “NH” stamp on it.
Thanks for the link.
Well I watched the Forgotten Weapons vid that Ian McCollum made on the Korth PRS and it got me thinking on about how a delayed blowback 1911 could possibly have the ability to shoot 460 Rowland without a barrel comp for bear/woods carry or shooting competition or even a possible EDC, but how you could also shoot 45 Super and ACP aswell, and possibly the ×23mm-25mm 45ACP based cartridges(via barrel and spring conversion kits) like the 400 Cor-Bon, 40 Super, 38/45 Clerke(pronounced "Clark"), and 38 Casull.
Although not their semi auto I did buy two Korth revolvers. I call these my Colt Pythons because once I saw one these were the Revolvers that appealed to me the most.
Travis Strahan used a blow back design he created for his bullseye builds. Accuracy was spectacular but wasn’t better than the standard 1911s by Bullseye focused Gunsmiths. Definitely unique!
Not a blow back. The Accu-Lock used a regular 1911 barrel mechanism as far as link and lugs. The teeth on the front end was for consistent lock-up and the pistols are soft shooting as well as very accurate.
I have one. I have the 6 inch with barrel weight on the front. a bit picky on ammo. had a few instances with ammo failing to feed properly. never tried +p in it, but wouldn't really worry about it.
with the 6 inch, it shoots pretty soft, but feels a little "snappier" than a 1911. I think the blowback design does not absorb the recoil as well as the 1911.
I don't shoot it much anymore since there are so few that actually made it into the US
That barrel assembly looks like something off the Bismarck.
