What We Need to Know
Korth Dreadnought
Design & Aesthetic
Korth’s Dreadnought revolver takes its inspiration from the legendary Dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy, which served during World War I and World War II. The revolver’s design pays tribute to the armored legacy of the battleship, which featured massive steel armor plates wrapped around the hull and held in place by sturdy steel rivets.
The Dreadnought gave the Royal Navy a battleship with a powerful presence that demanded respect and projected strength against opposing forces.
On the surface of the revolver, Korth finished the Dreadnought with a smoked nitride finish and integrated rivet details to honor the ship’s design. The revolver is finished with a traditional walnut pistol grip.
