Manurhin MR73 Sport
The Manurhin MR73 series of revolvers was developed specifically for the requirements of the French Gendarmerie and special service units of the French Police and Military. The pistols feature exceptional accuracy and proven reliability, tested with tens of thousands of rounds of full power .357 MAG during durability testing. With a history and tradition of fine gun making behind them, the Manurhin series of Revolvers is truly world class. The MR73 Sport is specifically designed for a high level competition and bullseye shooting and features adjustable target sights, target adjustable trigger and ergonomic grips.
Features
The MR73 rose to fame when the famous French GIGN selected the revolver as their sidearm of choice because it was incredibly tough, able to withstand a daily course of fire of full power 357 magnum combat loads with one example withstanding 1 million rounds and still working!
Additionally these revolvers are all match grade and ship with a factory test target that was fired at 25 yards where the group may not exceed .79″ diameter in a 15 round group. This accuracy is made possible by hammer forged barrels, impact processed cylinders that are glass smooth, and a roller bearing adjustable trigger that is both double and single action. These components have been hand-fitted in a process that takes no less than 12 hours each.
These are the best quality revolvers in the world
