Some others that I didn't post with Mark: Manhurin MR73 Revolver in .357 Magnum. I stumbled upon this revolver purely by a stroke of luck on AIMSurplus. This thing made my Colt Python's trigger feel like an un-tuned Smith in comparison although it looks like it's been dragged behind a truck. Image below from TJ Parmele - Image Title: Manhurin M73 Image Info: The MR73 was standard issue with France's Gendarmerie and in some police units including Special Weapons and Tactics teams (RAID, GIGN and comparable units).

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Among my revolvers I have a six inch, nickel Python circa 1972 (have a factory letter) that I consider the finest revolver ever made. It's accurate way beyond my abilities with a trigger that breaks like a glass straw. In days past I used it for deer hunting here in the Pennsylvania "big woods" when "still hunting" but now that I just sit my fat azz in a tree stand I stick to my 760 Gamemaster. I also have owned Rugers and Smiths as well, my current hunting sidearm is a Taraus copy of the Smith 2 1/2 inch round butt 66 which in my humble opinion is just as serviceable as the Smith for a lot less money. Yes, I'm in the "fiscal conservative" camp or as my kids say....plain cheap! Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to you and everybody on the Forum. |
