Don't hold your breath:
Also, look at the grip on that puppy. That is like the Bisley grip, which does not fit my hand well.
The 3rd negative is we don't allow .50 Cal or ABOVE at the range.
The 4th negative is the muzzle energy:
The 5th negative is my tiny wrist. I always have to have links removed from a watch.
The 6th negative is that it only holds 5 rounds. Actually, it might as well be a single shot because after the first round it would be all over.
On the positive side the bullet isn't all that fast:
The other thing is that it weighs 13.23lbs so that would help with the recoil. They don't say what the bullet weight is nor what the weight of the powder charge is, so we can't figure the recoil.
If I was going to spend a lot of money on a revolver, it would be a Korth.

TMan; Some of the Europeans don't know how to build a reasonably priced quality revolver.
I have often heard some refer to the Python as the Rolls Royce of revolvers. I have always thought of the Korth as being the Rolls Royce, with the Python being the Cadillac of revolvers.
I did notice the grip; Makes one want to weigh in the option of a rifle. I think after the first round, my wrist would be done in for.
One reason I have the number of revolvers I do, is the fact that I've always remained within my own limits.
My brother and I was talking to a Korth representative, when attending the '99 SHOT Show in Atlanta, at which point the gentleman asked if we would like to examine one. TMan; We could only smile and resist the urge. There are two hand guns on this planet, which I would like to have; A Korth and a SIG 210.
I'm sure the folks at Ruger, or S&W, could build a revolver to chamber the .600 Nitro Magnum, if they wanted to.

Reading through the page: "There won't be any permenant damage to your wrist." ;D I like that. Everything will heal...
All the parts are custom made too. Imagine that. No mass market for a $20k revolver eh?
Thanks for the post DA. That's fun stuff.

I'll tell the truth; I have to fall back on what Dirty Harry said in regards to every man knowing his limitations. In answering with that, I've always felt the 44 magnum to be quite suitable in meeting with my own selfish indulgences. Not only that; A very good American made 44 magnum revolver can be had for less than $300. on the pre-owned markets.
If I really want hands on craftsmanship applied to a revolver; I'll send it off to Gary Reeder or Hamilton Bowen.

I almost forgot about the Freedom Arms revolvers; my brother has around six of those. They are extremely nice ;D
Americans has the market cornered on revolvers.

DA, maybe I'd feel differently if I was a better shot, but I'm not all that impressed with the P210. If I look at my targets, there is little difference with this new EAA Witness Elite Match. Part of that could be the factory sights, I just don't know.
If anyone asked me for a recommendation on a good target gun, I'd have to say that I think the best of the reasonably priced guns is the STI TargetMaster. The trigger is better than the 210, slide to frame fit is almost as good. I've let a lot of people shoot my P210, S&W 952, and the STI, and they all like the STI. If you didn't have much money to spend, then the EAA would be a real good one. However, I think that their prices just increased since I got my gun. I know that CZ just had a price increase.
I may have something else good too, just can't remember. I'm on my laptop and the inventory is on one of the home computers.

TMan; How would you feel if the trigger on the 210 was much better than it is now ? I also hold a high regard for the trigger on a pistol, and especially that of a revolver.
What would really be disappointing would be to spend all that money on a Korth, only to find that the S&W Model 27 shot better. That would surely put some rain on the parade.
Maybe that's one reason why I've stood pat with what I already have. However; I would still like a SIG 210 ;D

DA, that is a good question, and I don't remember how good the trigger is compared to... I just remembered the X-Five. It has a good trigger too, but at $1,000 more than the STI, I would expect that it would.
As I've mentioned before: the thing I've found out of the last few years is that if I spend a lot of money on a gun, I expect to get good results. If I spend only a small amount of money, and do something to improve it, I'm happy as a clam.
I'm not about to take a stone to the P210. I don't know about the availability of parts, but if they are available, they are going to be plenty expensive. (I still haven't gotten over having to pay $140 for the magazine fot the P210).
