Additional Pictures of Manurchin MR73

[MP-5]

For those of you who are Manurhin 73 revolver fans, the French film “MR-73” is a must see! It was released in the US as “The Last Deadly Mission” starring Daniel Auteuil. The French title comes from...well you guessed it, a revolver used in the movie, the MR-73. The main character played by Daniel Auteuil goes up against a series killer, thus the “deadly mission” with the help of a MR-73, a revolver that belongs to his partner. Auteuil plays a washed up cop who goes “old school” breaking out the classic French service weapon he and his partner used as rookie cops! An awesome movie!

Yes VicdtorLouis,

I was just about to mention
what you posted about the
Manurhin 73.

Availability of the M73 should
increase.

A quite rare acquisition and a lucky find. Is it an original design ?

I think I forgot one.

I decided I needed a Manurhin to go with my Korth. This is a 357 Match version, adjusted the double action with screw in the front of the grip 3/4 turn and double action is fantastic. I also got Traush grips with the gun.

Toyman,
about forty years ago I had a chance to shoot a .32 S&W Long MR73 Match that belonged to a friend who was a professional shooter and many SIG Sauer factory target bear his name.

That gun had surely left me impressed!

You figger they are training to use one hand if need be, or you figger they are just old school, one handed shooters?

I found your certificate interesting. My certificate does not show a date and is slightly different in its scheme. I am guessing my revolver, SN: HA02326, was manufactured in late 2009 or early 2010.

I would appreciate your estimate or thoughts.
