Re: Manuhrin MR73" Combat
New these are over $3000. The used police surplus guns vary in price quite a bit depending on where they came from and condition. The civilian guns imported over the years since the 1970s, tend to go higher as they are typically in better condition.
I paid around $750 a few years ago for mine, but it was used surplus. I have a problem with mine where it doesn't like 357 Magnum in double action, works fine with 38 Special. I shoot it single action anyways. I replaced a spring and a screw and something else, can't remember now. There is one supplier for parts, here in PA actually. At some point I will find a gunsmith and have him look it over and have it reblued.
The original Manurhin got out of the gun business and sold it off to Chapuis Armes and now Beretta owns it, which is probably good as it will mean steady support for the guns.
I can tell you to me anyways, it's a very special gun that lives up to it's reputation and they are simply worth the money. They are extremely accurate handguns.

This is cool. I'd never heard of these revolvers before. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info! I knew they were quality and pricey. So I guess if my buddy has one for me in great shape for just under a grand it’s a no brainer. Thanks!

Re: Manuhrin MR73" Combat
They are, if not the best, one of the best quality revolvers you can buy, they're designed with the requirement that they be able to handle 10's of thousands of rounds of full power .357 per year without wearing out, because that's how much the French police unit they were designed for practices.

Re: Manuhrin MR73" Combat
All kidding aside , I've played with a few post-war Manuhrin-made PPs and P-1s and they were every bit as well made as any commercial Walther , and even had a better polish/blue on the slides.
I don't speak English , I talk American!
