The Korth Combat has an adjustable trigger weight in both double-action and single-action modes, a feature found in other high-end revolvers such as those built by Manurhin and Janz. These adjustments do not alter the strength of the main spring, ensuring reliable primer ignition. This is achieved by use of roller bearings in the trigger mechanism, with extensive hand fitting and polishing of components during assembly.[7]
