I would have to go with Janz for best revolver ever made.

I grew up in Texas and that scam has been going around since I was a child. True story though the Cisco Kid was a friend of mine.

Well I don't think a 97 sucks but to each their own. 99 is really good shooting and I am happy for you. I have been weight lifting for over 30 years and after taking a look at you there is no...

Really, because I can shoot a 97 and I'm pretty sure You can't lift my gym bag.

Say what You want but Zeleny knows his guns. I have learned a lot by reading his articles. If You want to modify your gun it's no skin off my nose but I wouldn't do it.

As of today I have 1240 rounds through my MR38. Very accurate and just a blast to shoot.

Im going to guess you meant 1911. Went through the custom 1911 phase a long time ago. Yeah you are right especially when they don't watch their muzzle discipline. I actually like fellow shooters when...

I expected that. At the end of the day you will still have a smith which will never be the revolver a Korth is. These are made for competition and they do make a more traditional looking revolver....

You could just lay down the five large and get a korth eight shot .357 magnum. Then You would have something worth having.

They make that gun in several finishes. Polished black DLC looks really good but the plasma blue is my favorite. It looks like that is a half lug not a full under lug.

I would get a dedicated .38. I don't like to shoot .38 in a .357. I have a .38 target gun that is just a blast to shoot.

I totally agree with that and to me my one Ratzeburg Korth is finer than a Chapuis MR73 and a Lollar Korth. The problem is it took me five years to find a like new example of the Ratzeburg model I...

From personal experience I lean toward the Korth but they are two different guns. Either one You will be happy with so it is a matter of personal preference. The Korth has a very durable finish and...

Hoping You would be along to educate us. MY Chapuis MR 38 is a SA/DA.

This is a quote I got from Zeleny.

Chapuis follows Manurhin in claiming that MR73 barrels, frames, and cylinders are “machined from specially formulated, ordnance-certified alloyed steel stock...

Frames machined from forged ordinance certified steel billets. So each part is not hammer forged.

Yes they are available. Bring money

Yes you want a Chapuis example. Some experts agree there is little to no difference in quality between the Chapuis and Mulhouse guns.

I don't currently have...

I would be checking with Kebco or Perodeau before I would pay that.

I have bought several guns from Ken Great Guy. The perrideau imports have a much bigger import mark. Too bad they won't just let them put it under the grips.

That is definitely true for you and me. I can barely get 100 rounds of .357 magnum through my Janz at one range session before I am all done.
The GIGN shoot 150 rounds of full house magnums every...

I like the Korth better. The Ratzeberg models are very nice as well as the new ones made in Lollar. I wanted a dedicated .38 special target gun to shoot wadcutters so I got the MR38 plus I just...

That seems to be a generic question when it comes to these or the Korth. You can have a Smith customized but at the end of the day it will still be a Smith.

The MR is an exceptional revolver...

As far as grips I got these for my MR38. I got the open back but they make them in closed back also. I can't see anyone needing anything else.
...

I'm curious. Do You have a very sharp edge on the OD of your forcing cone.

There is a Man in Oklahoma JJ Perrideau who imports Manurhin who is also a gunsmith. That said Cylinder and Slide should take care of anything.
