Some of us bought a solid 2 year supply of freedom pills after the .22 fiasco. I’m getting low on a few calibers but I could go another 4 years on .22 and shot shells. (I have way too much .40 for my race guns but I’m down to a max 50 per week on 9mm and even less of 5.56 and almost no .45). But I’m definitely enjoying .22 again, (partly because I have to, and partly because I get to shoot 300-400 without any worry for the foreseeable future).
See that is something I still don't get, how come you guys are running out of ammo ? You must have a huge local production right ?

Manurhin means "Manufacture d'armes du Haut-Rhin". The factory settled in Mulhouse. Then Chapuis (from Saint Étienne) purchased it and now Beretta bought Chapuis.
I just love how Ian and Matt Haught are friends now ever since Ian showed up to Matt's class with a weird old shotgun. Now they test all this shit at BUG matches together
Man, I have ONE .357 slot left on my permit, and I cannot for the life of me decide on the MR73 or a Korth NS4. I was sort of leaning NS4, but then you had to upload this video… Merde!
Two random thoughts on the BUG match; the stall stage: 1. The advantages of a shoulder holster. 2. Survive an assault by four miscreants, but get nicked for indecent exposure.
The model Ian has, and shot with, is a Police Nationale model that was used only by the best known (elite?) units, the only ones with the budget and the ability to choose their sidearm. Later, the MR 73 could be considered a "back-up" to a shoulder weapon, but it was during a long time the main weapon for these units.
Nice Monty Python reference Ian! Had quite a giggle. Of course looking forward to the proper Holy Grail. Btw: I see that the last target just got a flesh wound
Je crois qu'est que c'est un cas des faux amis. Le mot "miscreant" en anglais a le sens d'une personne qu'est à rien de bon comment un délinquant ou un voyou. Ainsi, je pense, qu'Ian a veux utiliser cet sens en lieu du sens français d'une personne sans la croyance.

@@quentintin1 This is sad 😥 That isn't even nearly enough to be comfortable handling the gun ! I heard during the week some comparisons between French Police and US Police training. To be honest, I don't remember the numbers given for French Police, so I threw a random number but somewhat in the correct range. For US Police they shoot during training between 1500 to 3000 rounds, and the annual training is around the same figures.
@@JoJo-vm8vk The MR 73 was used by the BRI (Antigang) and GIPN, these policen practiced a lot. That said, of course firearm training and practice in France has less importance than in the USA, different cultures, levels of danger and legal system.
The MR73 has become "The Gun" that I am going to reward myself when I make PIC at my present company. I have had to sell 2 other fine shooting revolvers to keep my flying dreams alive. I figure why not honor those fine six shooters with the best.
Miscreant is "mecreant", no s,, mon ami. The MR73 with fixed sights was the police service handgun. Every cop was equipped with it (traffic cops, cops on the beat, investigators, etc.). I don't think the MR73 was designed for the GIGN initially, it was for the National Police first of all. I remember mentions of a shoot-out where the 7.65mm the cops had were no match and the then minister in charge of pplice decided they shoukd get .357 magnum (don't quote me on that). But because it was that good, GIGN adopted it. As far as I remember, I have never seen the standard Gendarmerie carrying the MR73, they had MAC50 then in 1987 adopted the Beretta 92 as a replacement. The RAID, which is the national police counterpart to GIGN, used to carry them too. At the time, the 5" MR73 with adjustable sights was kind of the sport model for sport shooters. They were even selling it with an anatomical grip. In a word, the MR73 was a service pistol but of a match pistol quality.
No man, miscreant is a english word, it doesn't translate to mécréant but to scélérat, un faux ami si tu veux. It was the opposite I think, the mr73 was developed for the GIGN (you know our ministry, they would never initially go for such an expensive revolver given the choice), but then indeed the police nationale realized they needed something better than 7.65 long french to fight crime, so they adopted it as well. That didn't mean the french police was entirely equiped with it, they never were, those revolvers were too few and too expensive, most of them had 7.65b and 7.65lf pistols, it was a bit of a mess (funny enough you can see that in the movie Pinot, simple flic). Very quickly the police switched to the mr88 which was cheaper, the GIGN stayed with the 73, which was better.
As a kid I remember all the Police Natinale in my hometown having MR73 and all the Gendarmes having MAC50 then MAS G1. There must have been a huge disparity in issueing guns between units nationally. It'd be interesting to know more about the genesis of the MR73. Given the GIGN was only founded in 1973, and given it takes years to design a gun, I suspect any contribution to the design by GIGN was to a product already pretty much mature. As for "miscreant", it indeed means "scelerat" but also means "mecreant". Who knows what Ian had in mind when he was dusplaying his mastery of Franglais? ;-)
@@drdoom-skull2244 You're right it does, I was absolutely wrong ! The etymology of the word had me thinking they used the old French meaning for it and that it hadn't evolved that way too over there, thanks ! It was a joint demand by all police forces for their intervention groups (so the raid, the gipn and the gign), the gign was under development when they asked for it, so it was also designed for them whilst they weren't even a unit per se. Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong ? I remember our cops having mr88 yes, I'm too young for those mr73s. I only know that they were too expensive to give to every trooper on street duty.
Interesting, when I startedvto get interested in guns, they were already well established with the police on the beat where I lived. Definitely MR73 (the MR88 is really to distinguish). Maybe they got lucky and got issued 73 while other cities had to wait and got the 88!
Calling a MR73 "ghetto" and using it as a backup is the biggest francophile flex ever.
"Ghetto" isn't an insult for a Backup Gun. This wasn't designed for the Battle of Suez. It wasn't even designed as a backup for the Battle of Suez. It was designed for the Gendarmerie for patrolling, including rough neighborhoods. Like "Ghettos" in another language.

I don’t think we would use « miscreants » (mécréants) in this context though.
@@hubert_c Gun Jesus having to defend himself from militant atheists while he's trying to have a dump is canon now.
@Hubert C yes, this is a classic case of false friends. The French words one would probably use would be something like “delinquant” or the like.
MR 17 need great words.
Out of all things I expected to see in this video, Ian popping that globe open at 0:53 is not one of them
I didn't even know the globe even has a storage compartment inside
As a French, I love your accent Ian, you're always a pleasure to listen to.
As an american, to me, Ian has no accent 🤣 most people in my homestate sound like this, despite Ian and myself living on different sides of the continent
@@Bustin_cider00 Zeiph meant ian's american accent when he speaks french.
@@apophis6666 oh im sorry. You guys know eachother?
@@Bustin_cider00 I doubt they do but its pretty easy to understand that a french person meant ian's accent when speaking french in a video where he does so because anythign else wouldn't make sense now would it? No need to be an ass about it.
Tres Belle effort de parler Francais. Merci pour tes demonstration.
C’est un bon

Parler français est pour moi, allemand, plus facille comme ecrire, parce que les francaises ecrit different comme elles parle.
Definitely on my dream list. Perfect blend of beauty and function(in my opinion)
Super job Ian… 5 targets 2 rounds…awesome!!!
Il est magnifique ce revolver😍
Et merci Ian pour la vidéo
Ça fait vraiment bizarre de voir des français ici 😅

The MR 73 was formerly produced by Manurhin, Manufacture du Rhine in Mulhouse/ Mühlhausen en Alsace.
Manurhin means "Manufacture d'armes du Haut-Rhin". The factory settled in Mulhouse. Then Chapuis (from Saint Étienne) purchased it and now Beretta bought Chapuis.
@@methodeetrigueur1164 : My french is is much worser than english or my native language german.
@@brittakriep2938 Kein Problem. Ich habe Sie verstanden.
You can tell Ian is genuinely excited right now. Lol
Ah the MR73. The gun that has a guy in the Netherlands looking at gun club membership and the price of the gun. Magnifique.
As I understand it, it would be utterly worth every penny.
Thank you , Ian .
I just love how Ian and Matt Haught are friends now ever since Ian showed up to Matt's class with a weird old shotgun. Now they test all this shit at BUG matches together
Man, I have ONE .357 slot left on my permit, and I cannot for the life of me decide on the MR73 or a Korth NS4. I was sort of leaning NS4, but then you had to upload this video… Merde!
I watched the mr73 video the other day so this is a pleasant surprise
The "pants around the ankles shuffle" was hilarious! Should had go back, finish the paper work and pull pants up before continuing....😆🤣👍
Two random thoughts on the BUG match; the stall stage:
1. The advantages of a shoulder holster.
2. Survive an assault by four miscreants, but get nicked for indecent exposure.
The model Ian has, and shot with, is a Police Nationale model that was used only by the best known (elite?) units, the only ones with the budget and the ability to choose their sidearm. Later, the MR 73 could be considered a "back-up" to a shoulder weapon, but it was during a long time the main weapon for these units.
Nice Monty Python reference Ian! Had quite a giggle. Of course looking forward to the proper Holy Grail.
Btw: I see that the last target just got a flesh wound
That’s no back up gun, that’s better than most countries’ primary firearms.
This.
It’s been a treat discovering the MR73. My S&W 64’s and 65’s now appear as crap in retrospect. Thanks France.
Just wait until you discover their wine and cheese... just saying! :P
Ok the french at the beginning killed me haha
I tol im we already got one (stifled chuckling) I bet they are lovely to shoot. Cheers Ian.
When Ian said "Beretta Group" I thought he said "a reddit group" and I was so confused.
That's exactly what I heard
Yeah, me too
The reddit hive mind was already manipulating markets, buying corporations for lulz seems like a logical next step.
I'm glad I read this because I was extremely confused for a couple minutes too lol
r/GunJesus
Shirt of the day goes to Ian! 👍👍👍😊
And also shit of the day.
Mécréants ^^ c'est tellement XIXeme sciècle, c'est splendide. Merci pour la vidéo
...ou alors dans le scénario du match, il est en fait dans le rôle du terroriste islamiste qui a 6 siècles de retard dans son cerveau?
@@SNOUPS4 Je préfère penser qu'il utilise des "mécréants" dans un sens ironique (c.-à-d. mécréants en la liberté).
Je crois qu'est que c'est un cas des faux amis. Le mot "miscreant" en anglais a le sens d'une personne qu'est à rien de bon comment un délinquant ou un voyou. Ainsi, je pense, qu'Ian a veux utiliser cet sens en lieu du sens français d'une personne sans la croyance.
Ça y est ! C'est bohort que ça me rapelle ^^
Miscreants veut dire scélérat pas mécréant :) Un faux ami
Oh dear god I need more of you doing Monty Python in my life

Pants around ankles, so awesome!
Beretta Execs watching this: "He took 5th? On the version without Iron Sights? Can we like expedite the one we're shipping him and make sure it comes with some Beretta Shooting team paperwork and like a jacket?"
With that Big Five category, you know somebody out there is bringing a 454 Casull or a 500 S&W as a ‘backup gun’.
Ian has brought a .475 Wildey before...
Ahh, but does Ian use his MR73 as GIGN intended? That is, 150 rounds per day, every day?
No, but this is a Police Nationale version.
So 50 a year will do 🤣
@@JoJo-vm8vk oof
Ça, c'est fait ^^
@@quentintin1 This is sad 😥 That isn't even nearly enough to be comfortable handling the gun !
I heard during the week some comparisons between French Police and US Police training.
To be honest, I don't remember the numbers given for French Police, so I threw a random number but somewhat in the correct range.
For US Police they shoot during training between 1500 to 3000 rounds, and the annual training is around the same figures.
@@JoJo-vm8vk The MR 73 was used by the BRI (Antigang) and GIPN, these policen practiced a lot. That said, of course firearm training and practice in France has less importance than in the USA, different cultures, levels of danger and legal system.
the one berreta made are such nice revolver , looking forward to see the your video !
Love the bathroom stage! Plus oh i'm so surprise that Ian has a MR73!
The MR73 has become "The Gun" that I am going to reward myself when I make PIC at my present company. I have had to sell 2 other fine shooting revolvers to keep my flying dreams alive. I figure why not honor those fine six shooters with the best.
Imagine hearing him in the stall next to you narrating and then you hear *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
0:53 That Monty Python reference cracked me up. I wasn't prepared.
Ian : « Je suis dans les toilettes à (l’aéroport) Charles de Gaulle.
Il y a quatre mécréants et j’ai cinq cartouches. »
Excellent !
I wondered how dropped trou condition would be simulated in that first stage...your shuffle had me laughing out loud😂!
Fun to hear your french ! Hello from France.
I literally lol'd when I saw the pants around his ankles!
Ian is cheating : it is not his real pants... Lol !
Toujours un plaisir de regarder Ian parler Français et utiliser des armes Françaises
I love that Inglorious Bastards bar globe
In he's entire career he wasn't so excited 🤣🤣
The throne stage had me laughing.
The stall bit was hilarious.
So you are patiently waiting for the best all around revolver to come an play 😁👍
Remind me again- what demented individual designs these stages?
Uh, hi, Karl...
I kinda wanted to yell "BOOM HEAD SHOT" at my computer monitor when you were going through the targets, haha
I knew it! I always thought that globe was a bar (or gun safe, in this case), but I never saw Ian open it before.
Okay, grabbing a revolver from the liquor globe was a legitimately funny move
2:40 Ah, the "top of the tank, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade shot" stage.
That first stage in the "bathroom" would have been much more impressive if they required the shooter to pull their pants up first.
Oh I have to have one of these one day
Very cool stage!
That's a thumper. It do not go pop. It do not go bang. That brought the BOOM.
"Shut up or I will blow you four counties over!" :P
Love when they set up the targets for multiple hits with 1 round
In La Toilette stage, that was a brilliant tactical choice, not taking time out to wipe.
Cor even the description of the MR 73 in Wikipedia sounds exciting.
Miscreant is "mecreant", no s,, mon ami. The MR73 with fixed sights was the police service handgun. Every cop was equipped with it (traffic cops, cops on the beat, investigators, etc.). I don't think the MR73 was designed for the GIGN initially, it was for the National Police first of all. I remember mentions of a shoot-out where the 7.65mm the cops had were no match and the then minister in charge of pplice decided they shoukd get .357 magnum (don't quote me on that). But because it was that good, GIGN adopted it. As far as I remember, I have never seen the standard Gendarmerie carrying the MR73, they had MAC50 then in 1987 adopted the Beretta 92 as a replacement. The RAID, which is the national police counterpart to GIGN, used to carry them too. At the time, the 5" MR73 with adjustable sights was kind of the sport model for sport shooters. They were even selling it with an anatomical grip. In a word, the MR73 was a service pistol but of a match pistol quality.
I stand corrected, some Gendarmerie were issued with it, and there was the Gendarmerie variant (the GIGN one). Ian's is the Police variant.
No man, miscreant is a english word, it doesn't translate to mécréant but to scélérat, un faux ami si tu veux. It was the opposite I think, the mr73 was developed for the GIGN (you know our ministry, they would never initially go for such an expensive revolver given the choice), but then indeed the police nationale realized they needed something better than 7.65 long french to fight crime, so they adopted it as well. That didn't mean the french police was entirely equiped with it, they never were, those revolvers were too few and too expensive, most of them had 7.65b and 7.65lf pistols, it was a bit of a mess (funny enough you can see that in the movie Pinot, simple flic). Very quickly the police switched to the mr88 which was cheaper, the GIGN stayed with the 73, which was better.
As a kid I remember all the Police Natinale in my hometown having MR73 and all the Gendarmes having MAC50 then MAS G1. There must have been a huge disparity in issueing guns between units nationally. It'd be interesting to know more about the genesis of the MR73. Given the GIGN was only founded in 1973, and given it takes years to design a gun, I suspect any contribution to the design by GIGN was to a product already pretty much mature.
As for "miscreant", it indeed means "scelerat" but also means "mecreant". Who knows what Ian had in mind when he was dusplaying his mastery of Franglais? ;-)
@@drdoom-skull2244 You're right it does, I was absolutely wrong ! The etymology of the word had me thinking they used the old French meaning for it and that it hadn't evolved that way too over there, thanks !
It was a joint demand by all police forces for their intervention groups (so the raid, the gipn and the gign), the gign was under development when they asked for it, so it was also designed for them whilst they weren't even a unit per se. Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong ?
I remember our cops having mr88 yes, I'm too young for those mr73s. I only know that they were too expensive to give to every trooper on street duty.
Interesting, when I startedvto get interested in guns, they were already well established with the police on the beat where I lived. Definitely MR73 (the MR88 is really to distinguish). Maybe they got lucky and got issued 73 while other cities had to wait and got the 88!
For a second at the start i heard "Reddit bought Chapuis" and I thought, first GameStop now THIS
Love the Monty Python cameo, Ian! 😆
I look forward to more!
God bless all here.
I saw the release of this and figured you'd get one.
Sweet gun, even sweeter shirt!
