I am right there with you. Cataract surgery several years ago and progressive glassess to deal with astygmatism. I too shoot minute of man. Everything I have is capable of being shot better than I can shoot.Originally Posted by Dave J
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.
Look what I found, the MR88 user manual in French and English:

They also have Manurhin catalog and MR73 user manual.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Nice, Dave. You get the Google-foo search award for the day! Good find-thanks for sharing.
Best, Jon
I wasn’t even looking for it, just found by happenstance.

I may have said it earlier (or in another p-f thread), but I'd take one of these used over an of the new Colt Cobra offerings.
They're very comparable to the relatively rare 3" Service Six/Speed Six variants. arguably with superior metallurgy in the barrels and cylinders (not that I've encountered, empirically or anecdotally, complaints about the -Six metallurgy). And as these are really Ruger variants, they're probably pretty durable, even if heavily used (which I suspect relatively few were, as French organizational LEO guns, but that's speculation on my part).
Price-wise, these to me represent a screaming deal over comparable similar -Six guns. Too bad I probably can't get one by my Wifely Review Board...

You still get credit-sometimes it's better to be lucky than good....

That looks great, from both an aesthetic and control standpoint; for greater concealability, though, if that's of concern I'd be inclined to either stick with the Trausch/OEM wood, or, if it fits, an OEM Ruger "splinter" wood -Six grip in conjunction with Tyler T grip adapter https://www.t-grips.com/New stocks arrived yesterday.

Got my copy of this gun from Centerfire yesterday. First impressions. Came with the Trauch grip and a service holster. Appears to be a Barney Fife version. Carried a lot, shot very little. Very dirty and dry. Immediately came apart and cleaned. A lot of brushing and scrubbing. Jury is out on the grip. Ordered a Pachmeyr compac off of ebay. One minor modification to test. I have some GP100 hammer springs. I traded stock spring out with a cut spring. Made a huge difference in pull weight. It is a smooth trigger otherwise. Will make sure all my ammo is set off with the new spring. Action locks up tightly as expected. Pulling double action SLOWLY there seems to be a slight catch/hesitation when the cylinder locking unlocks but not noticable with rapid DA pull. Going to have to paint front sight red as well. Overall nice revolver to add to collection.
Got mine in last week and it is now my favorite revolver:
