Beretta’s Manurhin MR73 Sport 6″ .357 Magnum
One of probably the most instant and attention-grabbing issues in regards to the Manurhin MR73 revolvers are their shiny black end. It is clean, sultry, and slick to the contact; flat-out beautiful. Also, whether or not you might be dry-firing the revolvers to get a really feel for them or actively capturing, they’ve a few of the smoothest triggers – from double-action or single-action – that you’ll ever spark off.
The Manurhin MR73 collection of revolvers was developed particularly for the necessities of the French Gendarmerie and particular service models of the French Police and Military.

We fired each the Manurhin MR73 Sport 6″ and MR73 Gendarmerie 4″ revolvers aspect by aspect to check recoil, see if there was a distinction within the set off, and to check which was extra controllable. Overall, their glass and light-weight felt practically similar. We didn’t carry a set off pull weight gauge with us, however they felt precisely the great; very good pull and break.
When it got here to accuracy we had been capturing on metal from 10 – 25 yards and so they impacted with seemingly similar accuracy at 10 yards; no discernable distinction. When we shot a little bit additional out to 25 yards then the Manurhin MR73 Sport 6″ was a tiny bit extra correct. Overall, the felt recoil was rather less on the 6″ mannequin as nicely. The 6″ mannequin would make for a terrific goal or looking revolver whereas I can positively see the 4″ revolver being excellent for carry, legislation enforcement, and/or protection.
