    I think you might be my new hero.

    You’re an enabler, though.

    What's with the "(using wheels instead of just lubrication where metal rubs on metal)?" I don't see that in your pic.

    I would bet that they confused that with the MR-73. I think that they originally had these guns incorrectly listed as MR-73s.

    New Guy and I just bought one

    Greetings Gentlemen and Ladies,

    I have a thing for 2-3 inch revolvers. I lean heavily towards Rugers or older S&W. So I didn't buy one of the MR88's when they first came up but I did this round. Ordered and waiting for arrival.

    I believe the Speed Six grips will fit if I don't like the Trauch. But the site also stated grips would vary so I don't know what I will get yet.

    Looking at the pictures of these I believe I noted the charging holes are chamfered. Did I see this correctly? The internals in the previously posted picture look to be nicely done. I am not at all worried about it having a side plate.

    Does anyone know if these are Plus P rated? I can't find that questioned anywhere.

    Looking forward to adding this to my collection.

    H

    I haven’t examined them with a magnifier, but it looks to me that the charge holes do have a small chamfer cut, which at least breaks the sharp corner. I’ll probably cut it a little deeper at some point.

    I can’t find “+P” stamped anywhere on the gun. The users manual (which can be found online) doesn’t say one way or the other, so I’m not sure that’s even a consideration for the European market. It’d be nice to have “official” confirmation, but I have no reservations whatsoever about using +P ammo, since the gun was also offered in .357 Magnum.

    You will wear out before that gun does shooting .38+P. JMO.

    How does your copy shoot? I believe you said heavier loads, 158gr to POA but lighter loads lower? Accuracy?

    I don’t need one...... I have a Colt Night Cobra, and that’s sufficient, right? *has item in cart, with VISA in hand*

    I’ve been struggling with vision issues for the last several months, so I can’t really comment on accuracy. I am shooting patterns more than groups. I hesitated to post the picture below since it’s so awful, but I think it at least shows a general POI difference.
