Kingkong,


I am jealous! That's a gorgeous looking revolver and one of the best production revolvers that money can buy. IMO.

Congratulations.


Best-
Vikram

No surajshuresh. I am from India and very much in India. I have not been to US but they say SAMs only like US S&W and Manurhin not much in demand.

That's a beauty and, as Vikram rightly said, one of the best production revolvers ever made. Love the trigger shoe.

I had an MR73 .357 MAG and it was easily the best built and most accurate revolver I owned - better than my Colt Python and better than my S&W M27. The original price is hefty - to put it mildly - but considerably less than the Korth which is supposed to be the best revolver built but I fail to see how it could be better than the MR73.
The MR73 is built by Matra Manurhin but has been marketed via Chapuis for some years now.
The build specification and quality of steel used in the MR73 is unmatched by any other revolver. MR73s have been tested to over 150,000 shots with no failures and no departure from the original tolerances.
Congratulations on the acquisition of your MR73 - you have made a superb purchase.
