Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone own a Korth?

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.
