Beretta USA Restocks Highly Sought-After French-Made .357 Magnum Models

Following a prolonged shortage caused by exceptional global demand, Beretta USA has announced that the legendary Manurhin .357 Magnum revolvers have returned to inventory and are currently being shipped to authorized dealers throughout the United States. Manufactured in France by Chapuis Armes, a prestigious name in precision firearms manufacturing, the MR73 has earned its reputation as one of the most accurate, durable, and meticulously crafted revolvers in existence.

Originally developed for France's most elite tactical units, including GIGN and RAID, the MR73 continues to deliver outstanding performance for both professional law enforcement and competitive shooting applications.

Premium Craftsmanship and Engineering Excellence

The construction of each Manurhin MR73 revolves around forged, ordnance-certified steel components. Barrels are manufactured using cold hammer-forging techniques, while other components undergo precision machining with cutting-edge 5-axis CNC technology. Every single MR73 receives individual attention from master gunsmiths who hand-fit and hand-polish each firearm to exacting specifications.

Superior Trigger System and Quality Control

Industry-Leading Double-Action Mechanism

The MR73's double-action trigger system has achieved legendary status within the firearms community, widely regarded as the smoothest available in its category. The system incorporates fully adjustable trigger weight, allowing users to customize the pull to their exact preferences.

Rigorous Testing Standards

Quality assurance for the MR73 exceeds industry standards significantly. Each individual revolver undergoes proof-testing at pressure levels 30% higher than CIP (Commission Internationale Permanente pour l'Épreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives) specifications. Additionally, every unit receives accuracy testing at distances ranging from 15 to 25 meters. MATCH-designated models come with an included test target that certifies groupings measuring no larger than 0.8 inches when fired with specified ammunition.

Beretta USA has restocked the following MR73 configurations for American consumers:

  • MR73 Gendarmerie 3"
  • MR73 Sport 3"

Industry Perspective

"The Manurhin MR73 is not just a revolver, it's a mechanical masterpiece as both an heirloom grade piece and a true range workhorse," stated Ben Grundwerg, Product Manager of Special Projects and ProShop at Beretta USA. "With our new inventory ready to ship, we're thrilled to once again offer American shooters access to this iconic firearm."

The return of these prestigious revolvers to U.S. shelves represents a significant opportunity for discerning firearms enthusiasts who have been waiting to acquire one of these French-made precision instruments.
