    I'm tempted by these but part of me thinks "wait and go all in on MR73 if one ever shows up again." I'm very jealous of 98/29's find posted above.

    This was from CGNer. It's a an early model, unfired as far as I can tell and not a single scratch anywhere. I'd been looking for an MR73 for years prior to finding this one and ironically I still am looking for since I could not bring myself to shoot it!

    The empty slot is indeed for a 9mm cylinder which is missing in almost all cases since 9mm round was banned in many European countries and that is where these MR73 come from.

    If you really want an MR73 and you are willing to pay the price then wait for one. They don't show up often but they are worth the wait.

    No, they are a class above Pythons but the average person does not know/believe this and Python's cult/popculture/discontinued status is what really commands the high prices that it gets (That is not to berate in anyway the fidelity or quality of Pythons). MR73 is in the same class as Korths, and to some people it might even be better than a Korth. Here is a good video by LifeSizePotato:

    Follow through isn't just a shooting fundamental, it's a life skill.

    Since you are importing from France, can you get some surplus French MAC 50 9mm pistols ?

    Wouldn't the police models be mostly 4"?

    Edit

    The Manurhin website shows "Gendarmerie" models with barrels from 2 1/2" to 4" The 5 and 6" barreled guns are shown as "Sport"

    I believe if you are to buy an exceptionnal revolver, might as well be the original owner and get it unfired...

    Just thinking out loud here... JP.

    If you ever get your hands on a vintage unfired MR73, you'll never fire it, well at least I can't get myself to fire mine. That's why I'm looking for a shooter grade one. Aimsurplus in the U.S. Brought some in for 500$ a piece in various barrel lengths. I'd buy 3 for that price

    In the video you posted the speaker says the Aimsurplus guns were about $900 and very abused.
