    The finish on the hammer and trigger is heat coloring.

    The current rear sight made by Recknagel is the only part changed over from the original Mulhouse design. The original Swiss-made rear sight is no longer being made. Front sight options of serrated ramp and Patridge post patterns remain unchanged.

    As I understand it, it's from the heat treat. It's more gold than bronze in person.

    Real talk for a minute. I've been writing a novel where the main character is a former GIGN agent turned freelance counter-terror advisor. And he definitely carries an MR73 (or three).

    And now I think I might need a 4" Gendarmerie version for 'research purposes'.
    I've been slogging away at writing a SF-mystery novel. The protagonist has a 686. I'm going to change that to a MR73.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    686/681/66 could be a good choice if your character has background as a Navy Seal. But obviously an MR73 gets my nod of approval.

    I will laugh if Amazon starts grouping these novels in listings and making author suggestions to consumers based on the firearms mentioned therein.

    That wasn’t necessary.
