Do me a favor, look at a korths extractor rod, now look at manhurins extractor rod. Now come back and tell me with a straight face which one is more durable. |

Now come back and tell me with a straight face which one is more durable. Well to be fair, the French police or military (whoever decided on the specs they wanted) did require a RIDICULOUSLY high and regular shooting regimen that that revolver had to withstand. So I assume that whatever metal they ended up wanting had to be pretty strong IMHO. |

No but raw materials can Sure, a Korth Is is going to have a better trigger. possibly more accurate. Laser precision fit quality. And Swiss watch finish quality. But after how many rounds? I can't find the numbers for Korth. I CAN for a MR73 by multiple independent People over many decades. Honestly an MR73 is only built to the same standard that the top end colts were back on their heyday and that's it. The rest of their ridiculous cost is raw materials, Stuff they are made of is not cheap,Company that supplies the stock for themIt also has contracts with Rheinmetall, Leonardo as well as other euro military and civilian aernotical companies. Perhaps the Korth can do all the MR73 can nowdays, But that's the issue it is only perhaps and maybe's and possibly's, While I KNOW the MR73 can. Is it overhyped? Of course, Ruger, Colt, S&W, Korth, Manhurin does not matter they all are, in the end a lowly Taurus can make you just as dead. |

You can never go wrong in buying a top-quality firearm.
Back in 2010, I bought a Swiss military issue SIG P-210-2. I paid $2300 for the piece and today this exact pistol sells for almost twice that. If you get a Manhurin, you will shoot it for the rest of your life and as you enjoy it, you will have an appreciating asset. Why dont you look around at your gun collection and see what you might sell in order to raise the funds for the MR73? |

I found a Gun Tests article that lists the steel Rockwell rating..........
Most gun makers do not offer a hardness rating of the steel they use, but whatever this number in most case may be, it is likely dwarfed by the Korth rating of 60 on the Rockwell scale. Link |

And who has done the round Count to prove it? 1 MR73 in trials was shot 150000 times with Norma loads in trials and all things were still in spec save for the rifling. Until someone just goes out there and does the same thing with a Korth has it documented from beginning to end I'll have to rely on the numbers I have, outdated as they may possibly be. |

This is  Most J frames will still be as functional a century from now just as the Colt,Smith and Wesson and Merwin Hulbert revolvers I have that are now well over a century old but still absolutely shootable even with far inferior metallurgy and machining than modern guns,to say nothing of these guns. A Korth or Manurhin is going to easily last into great grand children’s lifetimes with absolutely any reasonable care. Caring about which one will last longer is like pondering if Stonehenge will be around after the Pyramids have sunk into the desert. |
