Saw a short video they put up on Instagram about a .44 magnum they’re releasing this year. They’re calling it the thunderstorm. It has their traditional cylinder release and a rather tactical looking barrel.

Anyone know anything about it?

First I have heard of it. Would have been announced at SHOT if it were a real announcement. Nothing I can find on it.

Screen shot from the video. To prove I wasn’t sniffing glue.

Just my opinion, and not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but that thing is hideous.

Agreed. Hopefully, if it comes to market, they will offer a version with a more traditional looking barrel.

I’m not a fan of the styling of Lollar Korths. Give me my vintage Ratzeburg models from the 70’s and 80’s.

I find them a lot nicer anyway.

Some more pics. Still not digging the barrel. But with a traditional vent ribbed barrel it could be pretty sweet.

Something is not right--looks like a ss screw and some of the others are buggered up grips worn. Not a new gun by any stretch or ???. May be a prototype of some sort. Who knows.

Yikes !

I’m guessing prototype. They say it will be available this year. The grips hurt my eyes but that’s an easy fix. They haven’t responded on whether it will be available with a more tasteful barrel.

They also have a .22 version that’s even uglier.
