Nighthawk Custom is known for making top-quality 1911 pistols, revolvers and shotguns. Now Nighthawk is partnering with Korth to bring an iconic weapon from the silver screen to life in a way that only the German craftsmen at Korth can do. The result of this collaboration 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 Mag. revolver.

What was once dubbed “The most powerful handgun in the world” (even though, at the time of "Dirty Harry," it had long been surpassed by rounds such as the .454 Casull) has been brought to life by the world-renowned craftsmen of Korth. Chambered in .44 Mag., the 7.5-inch barrel gives the shooter optimal accuracy when shooting, and the cylinder holds six rounds of ammunition.

This revolver not only boasts the swagger of Inspector Harry Callahan, but has drop-dead looks to match. The entire revolver features a black DLC finish that has been polished for a pristine look. The trigger and hammer have both been color case hardened, adding another dash of class to this revolver. The Korth logo is finished in gold, matching the gold bead front sight while the rear sight is fully adjustable. A Turkish Walnut grip provides great aesthetics while also feeling comfortable in the hand.
