Anybody heard anything about new MR88s from Beretta?

My 66-8 started skipping chambers that seems more likely due to my trying to dryfire and shoot fast. I never got under 0.2 splits but have gotten 0.2-0.24 regularly enough. Averaging 0.25 probably.

Dryfiring da with an empty cylinder is probably worse

That’s fast enough to do it. I’m convinced that it was actually the thousands of uncounted dry fire reps that nuked my MR73. I was dry firing 3x a week chasing a sub 2.00 bill drill.

To explain in simple terms, shooting a DA revolver as fast as possible is like driving your car 100 miles by accelerating to 100mph and then slamming on the brakes to a dead stop over and over again. Sure, your car will survive it for a while, but it’s going to break shit a lot sooner than if you’d just driving 100 miles at 65 mph.

That is a single, unverified note on an unofficial website. Hardly what a rational person would consider an authoritative or unbiased source.

1979

Le 25 mars, à Fleury Mérogis, le sous-directeur est pris en otage par un prisonnier armé. Le pre*neur d’otage est neutralisé par un tireur d’élite qui, judicieusement lui tire une balle dans chaque main.

I don’t know about the above referenced GIGN tactics or training around timed fire or targeting.

$525 plus 23%? Seems a lot for a French Speed-Six.

I disagree. Speed Sixes go for $550 to $750 on gunbroker, and those grips are worth $150 by themselves. Plus these seem to be in pretty good condition.

These aren’t a steal, but the price is ok, for what you get. The real question is how high these will go at auction.

I don't know about that, but I do know that when Jerry was at his peak he would consume multiple revolvers p/year by destroying all manner of parts, but cylinder stops and pawls were the most common

Farmer Frank had multiple dead 57s, shot to the point of being no longer economically repairable, in his safe.

Which is pretty baller when you think about it.
