beautiful revolver! GREAT review, thanks for taking your time to do this for the firearms community! I am fortunate to own an MR73 and a Korth Mongoose. I agree with your comment about best combat vs best target/competition. That's pretty much how I see it. End of the day though, if I can only keep one it's the MR73!
@rexbo5029 Thanks a lot, yeah I've been watching videos on the MR73 for a long time now and everything I saw/heard about it blew me away so I had to get it
had a match modified 82 mr73 used for international center fire match back then. that trigger action,particular with the short sear engagement, just insanely sweet. It's basically the hammerli 208s for 22 as for 38 revolver..
Probably the best factory revolver ever made. You get what you pay for, but damn that's a lot to pay. lot of gun in return, but still. Would love to see something of this quality in .44 Magnum or, better yet, .500 S&W Mag. a wrist breaker manurhin sounds sick. Barretta is amazing. I prefer them for my carry options (i carry DA/SA semiautos, currently a used 84F Cheetah, but i love the 92 and PX4), though sig and arex get good marks in my book too. but they also managed to get to be ones in charge of the best revolvers out there, and also make some of the best shotguns and get to import Tikka and Sako? the Ws go to the Italians i guess.
If you decide to get yours polished and Blued, I would recommend mostly using it at the range so that you preserve the bluing. I've taken it to the range several times and I love shooting it and it still looks great. If you're planning on carrying it, I would just go for the stainless version. Also I should add that you need to be extra careful that you don't drop or scrape it against anything if you send yours off to be blued. I usually shoot this and my manurhin with shooting gloves on
Basically I got it from EuroOptic, and at the time they didn't have it in stock, so what they told me was that I could make a down payment, and then pay off the rest of it in whatever increments I wanted until it arrived (these can take up to 3 years to arrive). If they already have it in stock, you only get two months to pay it off
I initially asked for the 6 inch, but after some time I saw that the 5.75 inch became available, so I asked if I could switch my down payment from the 6 inch to the 5.75 inch and they let me. So I only waited a little over a year, but if I had stuck to the 6 inch I probably would've waited a lot longer
You could have just written "I'm poor and I have bad taste in firearms and also I'm gay" instead of telling someone they're stupid for investing in one of the best revolvers ever made.
Overpriced is all about perspective. My brother in law thinks any firearm over 250 or 300 dollars is overpriced and will go as far as to scold me for spending more than he thinks is necessary. I buy what I like which is anything from my 250 dollar Ruger wrangler to my 1500 dollar python with sigs,walthers and smiths in between
When people ask whether the Mr73 or the Korth will be better, all they have to do is look at archive footage of Mr73 training th-cam.com/video/ET0DzEnbgBM/w-d-xo.html, watch real combat footage with the Mr73 th-cam.com/video/eA7fzzDk1Xk/w-d-xo.html or like here during a real air jacking that saw all the hostages freed unharmed and all the Islamic terrorists eliminated by the GIGN using the Mr73 in less than 2mm. And try to find one with the Korth? Either you're looking for an exceptional and more than legitimate combat weapon, or you're just looking to look good on a shooting range. Wouldn't the most important thing be the quality in real combat on which a weapon should be judged? Give us all the GIGN tests on Korth revolvers and we might have the beginnings of an answer concerning this brand. Cordially from France
Of all the videos I've seen regarding this revolver, this one captures the beauty of the blued finish the best -- absolutely gorgeous piece.
I've shoot this revolver for an entire year. Never shot something so precise. Really nice buy... Won't regret it

Is this one of the new ones?
Yeah it is
@@CasualFirearms i was thinking about buying one of these as a shooter instead of a collector piece. Think its worth it for its original purpose?

What was your rationale for choosing that barrel length?Availability or another reason? Thanks.
Availability, wanted the 6 inch but I'd have to wait a lot longer
What process did you use to pay for it over time?
Basically I got it from EuroOptic, and at the time they didn't have it in stock, so what they told me was that I could make a down payment, and then pay off the rest of it in whatever increments I wanted until it arrived (these can take up to 3 years to arrive). If they already have it in stock, you only get two months to pay it off
@@CasualFirearms how long was your wait?
I initially asked for the 6 inch, but after some time I saw that the 5.75 inch became available, so I asked if I could switch my down payment from the 6 inch to the 5.75 inch and they let me.

My broke ass wants this revolver so bad ❤ maybe one day😓
nothing like overpaying for a firearm that you're going to baby and never really fire, like why waste the money bro?
I don't know if you're aware of this but I literally have a video of me firing it. I've taken it to the range several times

La qualité, la résilience, ça n’a pas de prix. 🤠
Way overpriced.
To each their own, so far I've loved it and haven't had any buyer's remorse

C’est le prix de la qualité, du savoir faire, et de la résilience. 👌🏻

12 hours work and tuning by a gunsmith included. It costs.
WAIST OF MONEY... NOBODY CARRIES REVOLVERS....
Sounds like we got a broke boy who can't afford to have some guns purely for fun
