New revolvers, you say. Coming to market, you say. Go big or go home.
This is Marcel Kay of Korth Arms at IWA 2017 in Nuremberg, showing off their latest creation, Korth Super Sport RGX Revolver with a 10" barrel in .357 Magnum. Note the AR15 stock adapter bolted to the right hand side recoil shield. Substitute a SIG Brace and a regular bipod, and you are good to go without a tax stamp in all 50 states.

I am looking out for the 2.75" Model 69 .44magnum. I used to have a 696 .44 Spl, but did not shoot it a whole lot because the forcing cone was wafer thin. I am looking at this as a modern replacement that will be capable of the beefier loads.

With an articulating bipod, and without the stock, that would be a nice set-up.New revolvers, you say. Coming to market, you say. Go big or go home.

More than once, I have contemplated an AR-ish rail system, firmly attached to a GP100, with extended-sight-radius irons*, an optic, and a bipod. Not very traditional, of course, but the GP100 is not very traditional, itself, anyway. The original, pre-Hogue OEM GP100 grip is nirvana for my hands, and .357 will kill anything that normally walks in Texas and the South, on two or four legs. So, this Korth instantly makes sense to me, even though I would rather delete the stock and much of the rail real estate.
Edited to add: As for legalities, let's remember that in Europe, and some other parts of the world, the handgun laws are far different than here in the USA. I have seen images of stocked revolvers, with long, but not necessarily rifle-length barrels, build specifically to comply with some European laws. I bet this Korth was built with such laws in mind. What would be an SBR in the USA, would be specifically tailored to meet regulations on the other side of The Pond.

To revive an old post from jh9, because it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen on this forum, and deserves another look:New revolvers, you say. Coming to market, you say. Go big or go home.

This is 'smoking bath salts out of an improvised crack pipe made from a light bulb and some aluminum foil' levels of fuckery. There's just no other way this happened.

^^^I gotta admit, that was one of the better P-F posts in recent memory.
I'm really interested in one of these, basically a 686 clone with no lock nonsense.
