Found this one here in the States, but at $2500, I won't be the one to take it home. Nice to peek at though... https://simpsonltd.com/manurhin-mr-73-z47438/

Nothing of interest here.
-Hand deburred? not really a value as much as a thing that happens to it?
-50% over pressure safe rumor? Haven't heard of Underwood sending any 586/686s or GP100s to their grave. A case fails, a revolver fails.
-That pronounced top strap looks odd to me, but I'm clearly the only person noticing as visually distracting.
-Any product (garden hose, kid's bike, knife grip) that displays the fitment of this rubber grip ...we'd call the item garbage? What am I missing?
-I would think the etching shouldn't look so different between areas?
$3K gets you a lot from any other option.
(weird that the strongest revolver doesn't have 3 point lock up like the GP100 is claimed to fame

)I recently acquired an MR73.
I am pleased with it. I have not read a single negative comment from anyone who owns one. I have read a significant number of comments from folks not owning one questioning the quality & value of the Manurhin.
Mine did not come with the rubber Trausch grips. So I can not comment on them. You will see the Nill grips mine came equipped with in the below picture.
The price of high quality revolvers, including S&W and Colts, have gone up significantly over the last few years. Try to buy any of them in excellent condition for under a couple of thousand or more these days. I have an unfired Model 29 (no dash) with Coke stocks, presentation box with tools which would likely sell for over 3 grand. Then there are several Triple Locks in my accumulation. I will not go any further. I consider my recent acquired MR73 the best in my accumulation of revolvers.
My understanding is Champuis Armes only produces 400 MR73's each year. I suspect Beretta may end up having difficulty keeping up with the orders they receive. We shall see.
