Spohr N643 Standard 6.0 Revolver: It Aint Cheap! — SHOT Show 2026

The Spohr N643 Standard 6.0 is a German‑built, eight‑shot .357 Magnum revolver that prioritizes precision machining, durability, and competition use.

Rather than leaning on nostalgia, Spohr builds the N643 Standard 6.0 with a clear focus on mechanical consistency.

Chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, the revolver uses an eight‑round cylinder and supports moon clips, making it viable for competition and high‑round‑count training.

The cylinder locks at multiple points, contributing to a tight, repeatable lockup. This is why fit and timing feel deliberate, with none of the play common to mass‑produced wheelguns.

The revolver uses a 6.0‑inch hammer‑forged barrel made from 4112 steel. That length provides a long sight radius without pushing the gun into niche, long‑barrel territory.

At 1,540 grams (3.4 pounds), the revolver carries enough mass to manage full‑power .357 Magnum loads effectively.

Trigger quality is a core part of the design. The factory double‑action trigger breaks in the 1.3 to 1.4 kilogram range (2.9 to 3.1 pounds), with a smooth, steady pull. Single‑action breaks cleanly, reinforcing the revolver’s competition intent rather than defensive leaning.

The frame is machined from 1.4122 magnetic stainless steel, emphasizing strength and durability. The hammer‑forged barrel supports consistent internal dimensions and longevity.

Also, the N643 Standard 6.0 supports the direct installation of Smith & Wesson‑style red dot systems optics without custom machining. Naturally, that feature reflects the revolver’s modern competitive orientation.

Furthermore, Karl Nill grips come standard, offering ergonomic shaping and a secure purchase without aggressive texturing. The grip geometry complements the revolver’s weight and trigger design.

I’m not a great shooter of revolvers, but I have shot many models. This gun works so smoothly that it instantly made me a better shooter.

Surprisingly, the double-action trigger pull was smooth and consistent throughout the travel, and the single-action pull was light and crisp. I was hitting targets at 50 yards with all 8 rounds. I was impressed.

The N643 Standard 6.0 is not built for casual shooters or high‑volume consumer markets. While it targets competitors and enthusiasts who prioritize machining quality, trigger consistency, and long‑term durability over price or production scale.

Its $4,199 price tag won’t be the most expensive gun we report on this week.
