Janz (revolvers)
Janz is a line of premium, low volume revolvers manufactured by Janz-Präzisionstechnik GmbH, of Bad Malente, Holstein, Germany.
History
Janz-Präzisionstechnik GmbH originally produced a number of parts for the company Korth-Ratzeburg. In the 1990s Korth was bankrupt and production ceased, prompting Janz to start manufacturing revolvers under their own brand in 1997, utilizing frames and parts produced for Korth.Current products
