I have a Manurhin MR73 with the 5.25 inch barrel and I love it. I don't understand all the negative comments on the Internet about this revolver. It is extremely well made and very accurate.

Jealousy can sound exactly like hatred

Anyone calling the MR73 junk is literally an embarrassment. They are so well known and have been regarded as one of the finest magnum revolvers made for decades. They are hands down a class above anything made here in the US. The testing they go through specifically is shooting over loaded magnum rounds to check durability. You have a premiere class revolver and I would honestly laugh myself silly at anyone trying to trash talk it. It's the same idiots running around with PSA Daggers and Taurus revolvers yelling how elite their gear is LOL.

I don't get all the hate. Instead of being jealous save up and buy one . Beautiful wheelgun . I'd carry it in a heartbeat.

The storm is totally underrated. It's a great gun. DA/SA is, by far, the safest way to carry for several reasons

The "don't carry an expensive gun" people are the same ones who lose sleep over potential hearing loss from not having ear plugs in, in a self defense situation.

Sacre blue! Prouteau is very disappointed with you my petite cherry... Carry it everyday ... and only use full power magnums in it... GIGN is watching you...

Thanks for the update. Always enjoy your wheelgun videos.

Well said! I can totally relate: I'm a Southpaw and holster selection is always a primary consideration for me. 👍👍

i was wondering about that grip on the mr73. looks like i would like it a lot. glad you mentioned the bandaids later after all those magnums. maybe one day ill be able to make the upgrade to a korth or manurhin

I have the basic 4" Gendarmerie model with the matte blue finish and fixed sights and IMO it is one of the finest revolvers money can buy. I'm on the hunt for a high polish blued one with fixed sights like yours. The Traush grip though rather ugly feel great especially when shooting magnum loads. My favorite carry revolver is a little smaller, a Korth 3" dual cylinder.

The LTT storm is surprisingly great!!

New revolver owner here! Revolvers Are The Shit!!!!

Such a fine piece glad you enjoy! If I lucky I'll add one in the distant future.

These are on our to-buy list. No hate from me. Marky

Probably most of the haters just can’t afford one. It’s amazing how people have an opinion on something they have no experience with.

I have 2 craft holsters. I would suggest contacting support and giving them feedback. I bought a holster from them for my Model 19 there was fitment issues and they made me a new holster.

I would love to have one… but it costs more than my HK SP-5 And I had to work alot of extra hours saving up for that one lol. But yeah, I want one…. I love its history. I have the other Predominant French Police sidearm, the Sig 2023 9mm, and a collection of French Police patches, caps.

Very nice revolver👍🏽

Thing is if it’s a good shoot you WILL get it back. It’s your property. They have to give it back after they’ve done the ballistics and all that and the case is clear. That’s just ignorance that people say. If it’s “confiscated never to seen again” you got bigger problems. Meaning you’re convicted and are going on a vacation.

It seems that their are people in the comments hating on this gun for a variety of reasons, and then you have people dunking on them for being poors or whatever. I am a poor, but I would get this if it weren't for stuff that I have heard as well as the fact their is stuff that is better within the price range. I have heard varied reviews on these revolvers. Many complaints of problems from a gun that should not have any. Like major problems within 500 rounds. When people buy this, they are buying a guarantee. They are buying a legend. This should be the revolver that won't die, that you can't kill. Thats what you should expect, and I feel like whoevers making them now might slightly be riding off the legendary service record of the past. Not to mention revolvers have gotten better since the MR73 was introduced. The story goes that the French started with S&W revolvers and shot them extensively during training and they were literally falling apart. However they were using k frame revolvers that weren't really designed at the time to have such a demanding diet of full house 357 loads. Soon after, S&W would introduce the L frame that was specifically designed to handle steady diets of 357 magnum. And they also updated the K frame 357s with a ball detent, and now those are able to handle a steady diet as well. I would rather get an old MR73, or get something from Spohr or Korth if I wanted something that was both super durable and high quality. I am leaning more towards Spohr because they look particularly amazing.

Hi, I also have two Mr 73s, a 4 inch sport and a 3 inch fixed viewfinders. Both with Trausch grips like yours. I got your own Safariland speed loader comp 3 and Hks 10 of the K frame is fine. Do you know of any other Speedloaders that can be a good fit? Like safariland comp 2 or others? Thank you!

I had trouble finding a holster, especially since I have the 5.25. Eventually landed on the 1791 Gunleather K-Frame holster. It's made for 4 inch guns, but it's open bottom let me get away with it, and it retains the gun ok. So you might try that if you still want to try carrying it.

I want that new jerry wheely for a daily carry but wouldn't mind the mr73 😊

Have you tried holster pro. I’ve got 3 dif holsters for wheelguns from him now. Great job on them. And only around 6 week time line

The fixed sight version of the MR73 with a 3" barrel is best for concealed carry. In a semi-auto I like the double-action CZ P-01 as it's much safer to carry than a striker fired pistol and a vastly better impact weapon than a polymer frame pistol - it's only an ounce heaver than the PX4 Storm Compact and USP Compact.

I love my MR73! It sounds like you have the same issue with the grips that I do. They are not comfortable for me. The Nill grips I put on it are wonderfully comfortable with full house magnum loads. I have about 1500 rounds through mine now with many more to come.

I’ve not had good experience with craft holsters. The quality is just kind of subpar nothing terrible, but just doesn’t do it for me.

A Great CCW 😊😀

It's a little expensive for carry IMHO. But you do you.

Nice. You just need a French antique triangular Smallsword to go with it. Did they ever make those revolvers in .44 magnum or was it just .357 magnum?

The older pre Beretta Manurhin MR73 have a nice blued finish. I know the new S&W blued revolvers are not Hot Blued. I heard that the new Python blued revolvers are not the Royal Blued like the original Python. I know Flitz is not to be used on the new blued revolvers because they are not hot blued.

The main challenge of carrying an MR73 is the stock grips. They're bulky and there's no good replacement short of custom grips--and grip makers are a dying breed, to put it mildly. The gun is certainly up to it (yes, I do have one). The fact you have to argue about the fate of private property points up a very serious problem, but that's another topic. Oh, and a case of full power .357 is nothing to this gun. Finish wear? That's a badge of honor for a tool that is being used as it should be.

Awesome revolver, great quality

Awesome revolver! Jealous people will always find something to whine about

That is exactly my gun. Mine was ordered (full payment) Feb. 2022, arrived Nov. 2023. The Trausch grips are great, but not ideal for concealment. I’ve carried mostly a 1911 .45 since 1977, only now pocketing an Airweight S&W around home. My wife and I carry bigger guns in chest rigs when working our wood lot. This is where the MR73 would fit in. Look at the history of the gun, and you’ll understand the MR73 is essentially a Model 19, redesigned to handle 40,000 full magnum rounds per year, for years. BTW mine came set a bit light for consistent ignition in double action, but the two adjustments on the gun are easy to use. I wanted a “forever 357” and this is one, even more so than the Model 27-2 I bought in 1975.

When are you buying the korth prs 😂

With Nill grips and Duluth pants on I’d wager you could pocket carry.

Top of the cream

Unfortunately, the "gun culture" has more than it's share of snarky jackasses. High end guns like this are some of their favorite targets. They tend to not actually be very knowledgeable. Best to just ignore them.

Oh, the name manurhin is a smush of a few different words, so it doesn't matter how you say it. Lol I treat all my tools as tools, so I would absolutely carry it, that said, it isn't worth the money to do it. I'd pay $1k, but I love my smiths, I'm not paying more.

You do you but the thought of having to surrender this to the local pd after a lawful DGU and letting it rust in an evidence locker for two years or having it "misplaced" bothers me

Carful with those Barnes ammunition. I had some 9mm that literally fell apart; the bullet fell out of the case and gun powder fell out. On all the rounds

I don't think i would be brave enough to carry such a nice weapon as an edc. Imagine it getting confiscated after a firefight.

Hehehe man urine.

Manurhin: a company nobody has heard of till this vid=Garbage Buy American: Colt, Smith&Wesson, Ruger
