In today’s Wheelgun Wednesday we are taking a quick look at a new Korth revolver dubbed Callahan that was recently announced by Nighthawk Custom. As you might have guessed, it’s named after Clint Eastwood’s character inspector Harold Francis Callahan from the Dirty Harry series of movies. Being a Dirty Harry-themed wheelgun, the Korth Callahan is of course chambered in the Dirty Harry cartridge, the .44 Magnum. Well, inspector Callahan carried a Smith & Wesson Model 29, but this German revolver has a similar big magnum wheelgun vibe and will blow your head clean off just like the Smith and Wesson.
Wheelgun Wednesday @ TFB:
Nighthawk Custom has partnered with Korth to bring an iconic weapon from the silver screen to life in a way that only Korth can do. The result is the all-new Korth Callahan model, designed after Clint Eastwood’s legendary character, Inspector Harry Callahan, and his famed weapon of choice, the .44 Magnum revolver.
Korth Callahan is a six-shot double-action / single-action revolver. Its 7.5″ hammer-forged barrel is made of 416R stainless steel and has a vent ribbed shroud. The major metal parts have a high-polished black DLC finish. The trigger and hammer are color case hardened. The revolver is fitted with an adjustable rear sight and a gold bead front sight. The Korth logo on the left side of the gun has a gold-color titanium nitride finish. The smooth finger grooved grips are made of Turkish walnut. The revolver is 14″ long and tips the scales at 52.6oz. The MSRP of the Korth Callahan revolver is $8,999.
For Dirty Harry fans, let us know in the comments section what you think about the Korth Callahan revolver. Is this your new holy grail gun or is everything other than an S&W Model 29 a heresy to you?
