Not a bad looking revolver, however I'm partial to a S&W 625, or a 629 or a Model 10.




Regards,
Eric

I have known some of those (and their users as well) used by the GIGN, one had already gone over 200 000 rounds of Norma .357 mag, 158 grains high velocity, way back in 1983.
All main parts are drawn from the same block of forged steel, barrel, frame and cylinder. This is the best french made steel hence the lines of the Manurhin 73 and its light weight compared to other .357 revolvers.
Then its double action mecanism is pure genius. I love the SW for the way you can tweak its mecanism to get something pefect but the Manurhin IS perfect.

Better quality pictures of MR 73 I modified to shoot 38 Super Auto and 38 Super Comp rimless.

Edmond, I'm not familiar with the Manurhin line of revolvers but my late first wife sold several of these:

She bought one for me and I sure do wish I had kept it. It was dead reliable and accurate but was a 32 ACP - my main reason for getting rid of it. Frowner
Pity, they were real quality little guns.


Lord, give me patience 'cuz if you give me strength I'll need bail money!!
