    Very Nice! Is that the one TradeEx had a couple of months ago? I nearly clicked "add to cart" several times but the timing was wrong.

    Is the empty cut out for a spare cylinder? I read somewhere that some of the MR73's came with a 9mm cylinder.

    Are Manurhin revolvers in the same class as the Colt Python?

    That's hard to say. From what little I know I'd say those two guns have different personalities. Manurhins are extremely well made, very reliable and very strong but some would say perhaps not as elegant or finely finished as a Python.

    Maybe think high end Mercedes AMG vs one of the Italian luxury cars?

    Manurhins are definitely stronger than Pythons. Lots of info on this available. http://larvatus.livejournal.com/314242.html

    They still make the MR73 I think. The MR 88 not a replacement, it is definitely the 'budget' model - but I bet it is still a pretty nice gun. I would take it over the ruger equivalent for sure.

    Yes they still make the MR73. It's nearly twice the cost of the MR88 tho. Price in CAD should be right around $3500

    Yes that is probably about right, but who knows with the exchange. Could be more I suppose. Used, ones in good shape have been going for $2500-3000. I did sooner pay that for the MR73 than a python. Bigger problem is availability. I hear there is an 18 month backlog in production.
