Other Notes: Korriphila pistols, currently made in Germany by Intertech, represent the top line of European custom pistols. Basic design was a brainchild of Edgar Budischowsky, who patented his delayed blow-back action in 1979. The action is somewhat similar to the older Vorgrimler roller-delayed system, developed during WW2 and later used in a number of firearms from Heckler & Koch, such as the P9S pistol and the MP5 submachine gun. Korriphila pistols are made on a strictly custom basis, and it is said that only 30-50 new pistols are produced each year. Made with very tight tolerances and luxurious finish, these pistols command high prices, and a special-order Odin's Eye version, which has the frames and slides milled from solid blocks of Damascus steel costs around $15,000 depending on specification. While these pistols are designed for personal use, they certainly have more value as collectables and investment pieces.
Korriphila pistols are delayed blow-back firearms that use a single roller, interposed between a separate breechblock and a slide. When the slide is in battery, rollers extend below into a cut in the frame. Upon recoil, the breechblock forces the roller back and out of its recess, which causes the slide to open faster than the breech. This system is basically half of the more common Vorgrimler system mentioned above but turned 90 degrees. Trigger is of double action type. Magazines are single stack.
