Revision as of 16:57, 11 June 2010

French-made revolver, seen in the following movies:

Manurhin MR73 Target Match Version revolver - .357 Magnum

Manurhin MR73 Sport with six inch barrel

Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie with 2.5 inch barrel

Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie with three inch barrel, rubber grips and adjustable sights

Characteristics

A solid-frame,swing out cylinder,double action revolver. The barrel is cold-hammered, which is unusual for a revolver, and makes for a very strong and high quality weapon. It also makes for a more expensive weapon. There is the usual flat mainspring operating the hammer, but there is a seperate flatspring controlling the trigger. This second spring operates on a roller to decrease friction, moves the trigger forward after firing, and moves up the safety block to prevent the hammer's nose from inadvertantly setting off a round. The end result is a very smooth and constant trigger which aids the shooter tremendously. The MR-73 is also capable of shooting 9mm Parabellum by exchanging cylinders. The MR-73 is a high quality and expensive revolver. They are fairly scarce in the United States.
