Yeah, me neither. Nighthawk has you covered if you have more money than sense though.

I love atrociously priced firearms but at that price it should be a work of art, not a high tech dildo

I admit that I am a fan of their 1911's(well, some of them anyways) and their new Hi-Power model but those revolvers and their $2,000 Remington 870's are a joke.

I was reading an article on TFB where the author was speculating that the extremely tight cylinder gap on the Sky Hawk might be an indication that they are planning to make later models with threaded barrels. The tight cylinder gap might allow for better suppression on a wheel gun. There is no evidence as to whether or not they plan to do that though, just speculation.

Has there been a threaded factory Revolver? I've never seen one.

That, I do not know. Revolvers don't suppress very well though due to most revolvers having a significant amount of cylinder gap.

Wow, looks like over-priced S&W model 586's...styling-wise almost a direct copy. If you're going to copy a sexy revolver copy the Python with the vented rib.

And the rails on the barrel? :der:

You can suppress a Nagant pistol because part of the action is the cylinder is forced up against the barrel. But that's the only one I know of.

My thoughts exactly. Apparently they are nothing more than rebranded, German, Korth revolvers.

Correct, the Nagant revolvers have a gas sealed cylinder action. I don't think they came from the factory with a TB though, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I kinda went sideways with my response.

No threaded Nagants from the factory that I know of but far from an expert. Crazy rounds those things shoot. Like it was cold when they were loaded at the factory or something.

Dude, I miss you Tommy(no homo). We seriously need to get together soon. I know we keep saying that but we seriously do. I'm starting a new job assignment at work on Wednesday so I won't have to worry about working Saturdays anymore. Maybe middle of next month get together on a Saturday and I'll see if we can go down to Pike and go shooting outdoors? Hopefully it will be cooled off some by then.

Korth's are super sweet wheelguns. I've shot one and wanted to own one every since. I'll buy one eventually.......

I admittedly had never seen a Korth before I was doing some research on the Nighthawks and saw that they were re-branded Korth's. I had heard of them and hear very good things about them, but I had never seen one, and I definitely have never shot one. While they may be very nice wheel guns, I am very happy with my Smiths and Rugers for a fraction of the cost of a Korth or a Nighthawk(same thing). To each his own. If you do ever get one I'd love to shoot it though. :thumbsup:

You got it, we do need to get together.

Most of October is booked already with festivals but maybe, like you said, next month!
