Here’s The New Beretta-Imported MR73…But Is It Worth The $ 3300.00 Price Tag

The purpose of this article is not to dissuade anyone from purchasing the firearm mentioned, it simply asks the question if it is worth the very expensive price tag of $3,300.00…that’s it.  Now, 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.

With a venerable history and tradition of fine gun-making behind them, the Manurhin series of revolvers are truly world-class. They are now available through the Beretta Galleries and select Beretta Dealers.

On the ‘plus’ side, the cold hammer-forged barrel allows for super long life, enhanced durability, and world-class accuracy. Cold hammer-forging processes provide the highest level of repeatability and consistency possible in the industry and are the standard for Manurhin revolvers.

The grips on this pistol are known for extreme recoil mitigation (especially with .357 Magnum loads) and high levels of shooter control and allow for increased accuracy, faster follow-up shots, and limit recoil transfer to the shooter’s hands.
