Over the years, I've owned both a Manurhin 73 and a 3" Korth .357. I just had this itch that needed scratching so I bought them. They were "shooters", so I enjoyed them on the range for a couple years. Then, since that urge was satisfied, I sold them and about broke even. My opinion ? Great revolvers, but no better, at 3 times the price, as good American made Python or S&W Model 15 or 19
