    Just bought one from centerfire systems' website for less than $500. I won't ever be able to afford the 73, but owning this one is the next best thing. Cant wait to get it. It does resemble a GP100, which is a sturdy, well-built revolver in itself.

    Those are Police surplus sold at around 300 euro at gunstore. Usually in good condition , scratches from being carried around in an exposed holster.

      Yes, these came into the US as surplus as well. Probably a hair cheaper than your quoted price at the time.

    Ruger speed six french made. It has screws on the side plate unlike Ruger revolvers. Very well made. That grip is very sought after in America.

      I have heard most of that before. I know there is some kind of relationship between Ruger and Manurhin here.

    Got one of those from police supplies almost never used and freaking love it I got the 38 special version I also used to shoot with the glock but love this bulky style and the power of the 38 compared to the 9mm just feels good
    Nice presentation and review by the way 😊
    Stay safe during those hard times 👍🏻👍🏻

      It’s neat to think we have an actual French government handgun in the collection. As a younger person, I would never have dreamed stuff like this would be possible.
      At least for me.

      @@John1911 there is no short answer for that question,
      Guns in France are divided in 3 categories: A B and C
      A are basically all automatic weapons civilians cant own those except very few situations like inherited war trophies
      B are all semi automatic, this goes from ar 15 to a 6 shot .22lr handgun and C are single shot rifle, double barrel and Bolt action. There are other criterias but I want to keep this comment short.
      C are easy to get you just need a sport licence or hunting licence.
      B are harder, you need a sport licence from a local shooting club, you need to have 6 month experience and only then you can create your demand to the representent of the state, you need load of documentation and it take a couple month to get an answer (which can be a no for no other reason than the representent not wanting)
      If it a yes you receive your paper and can buy the type of gun you asked for. You then need to redo this process if you want to buy another gun or everyday 5 year for those you own.
      I just got mine back and now I have 6 month to buy 3 B1 weapons, b1 are handguns like this manurhin.
      Hope this wasnt too long!

    The RMR had parts made by Ruger, but the MR88 is 100% made by Manurhin/Chapuis/Beretta.
    RMR:
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMR_(revolver)
    France has plenty of MR88 for sale, new and used in perfect conditions (and in .357 Magnum) at a great price, so we sent the old worn out ones (in 38 Special) to the US ;)
