    On video, moving in the light, the blueing looks extraordinary.

    And that's my problem with that gun: blue turns orange rapidly around me. I wonder if there's a way of refinishing it in something that is a lot more sweat and weather proof without affecting how the insides work (oh and a different rear and front sights for my old eyes).

    At 4K, you COULD buy 2 new Pythons and not have to worry about rust. It may not be up to the MR73 standard, but we’re entering stupid level prices for a single copy.

    I was looking at the Korth Mongoose again last night. It has sights I prefer and comes in a DLC finish standard. More grip options off the shelf. Also, a smooth trigger face, not serrated. How much does that save vs. bringing a Manurhin into a similar configuration?

    I can’t believe that a TFBtv review made me want one of these even more, but somehow it did.

    Yeah I’m thinking the Mongoose is going to be more my cup of tea, even if it is pricier.

    Who'd you get on the list with?

    If anyone on the forum buys one, I’d sure like to know the throat & groove measurements.

    Accuracy with cast bullets is a must. If I’m going to drop $3,000+ on a revolver, it’s going to get shot, A LOT. The only way I can afford that is with cast bullets.

    One thing I have read about the Manurhin (possibly on this forum) is that European .357 brass has thicker rims, and the MR73 has greater headspace to accommodate it.

    No idea if it’s true.
