Default Manurhin MR 73

Something different, my Manurhin MR 73 6' in .357 Mag. Similar to my S&W 586, very sturdy construction, will digest a lot of .357s, very accurate, great trigger.

Cool gun. I hear they're accurate and fun to shoot. What type of ammo is that?

I have heard nothing but praise for this gun.
Someday, I'll find one.

Found a 4" target on Allens Armory last fall. Mine has push off, I'll find someone to fix it eventually. Shoot it double action. Yours is nice and clean, some day I'll own a clean one. How does it shoot? Like the idea that it had to shoot under 1" at 25 meters before it left the factory. Larry

Serbian Prvi Partizan (PPU), widely sold here and cheap.

It's a fantastic revolver, extremely well built (and pricey too, I paid $ 2000 new a few years ago). Very accurate, great trigger both single and double action, very smooth. Only drawback is serrations on trigger are a bit deep and sharp for double action work for my taste. And the gun is very tight, so I had a couple of lock-ups with primers expanding (factory ammo).

Nice ones go for abt 2500 here when one is found for sale. The finish rivals a Python, like glass was melted over the blueing. Still have to shoot mine more, Larry

Wonderfully accurate guns with great triggers. I had the opportunity to shoot one when I visited in Switzerland. Not seen too often in the U S.
