I only have the Korth so I can't speak to the Manurhin.
I am happy to own it, despite owning many Rugers, Smiths, and Kimbers. If anyone has a Manurhin and you want to meet up, I'll let you try mine if you let me try yours.  I was not happy that at $3,400 for the Mongoose, I still had to get a wood grip separately since it comes with rubber grips from factory.

I have one Mulhouse manufactured MR73 and a few Ratzeburg Korths. The fact that I have several Korths but only one MR73 - and gotten rid of an MR88 in a hurry - should explain my preferences.

Another vote for Manurhin.
My MR73 shoots as good as my Python that has a Colt trigger job with zero worries about putting a LOT of .357 Magnum rounds through it.

Spend your $3k wisely kid, buy an OLDER mfg 4"/6" Python, preferably pre 70 mfg. Simply the Finest revolvers EVER made, PERIOD! You may pay more for the off brand stuff, but they're not even close in quality.??

I voted Manurhin.
Owned & sold a 1970s Python—it didn’t fit my hand, so I couldn’t shoot it as well as an S&W 19 or 586. I loved the aesthetic of the Python, but function is more important. Ruger Security Six was another good fit, but the trigger locks up if yoy try to shoot like Ed McGivern. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For those of us with scotch tastes on a whiskey budget, what's the significance of Mulhouse and Ratzeburg to those manufacturers? The high point in quality, before buyouts and management changes and loss of original craftsmen. |

Honestly don't know much about either because I'm one of those poors with a Python but I looked them up. French vs German? I'll go with the German made option but not one of their cheap $3k guns, I'm talking the full on $9k Heritage model!

Quote HistoryQuoted: For those of us with scotch tastes on a whiskey budget, what's the significance of Mulhouse and Ratzeburg to those manufacturers? Willi Korth had started the company in Ratzeburg and as long as he was personally overseeing quality control, the guns were excellent. At some time, after the 30series, he lost control of the company and there came a time much like post-UAW with the Python, quality was hit or miss. The quality of the Lollar Korths is much more uniform, since the guns are made on state-of-the-art machinery but they lack the charisma of the old handmade guns. The same transitional problems had occurred when production was moved from Mulhouse to Chapuis Armes, there were problems reported by European shooters in the beginning, long before the gun was officially imported here. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: clean used 686 dash 4 DILLON XL750 shitload of primers at stupid Biden cost. https://i.imgur.com/CxMxBwc.jpg I had bought a S&W 686 new at a gun show for $360ish with tax. Reloads were cheap, a thousand primers and Hercules Bullseye were $11 each and LRN about $30 delivered, and I had shot the gun a lot until I could afford the Korths. I have not shot it more than a couple of times since then.

I have both a Korth Mongoose with 9mm cylinder and Manurhin73.I like them both, the Trausch grips really fit my hand but the Hogues on the Korth work well, also.
Both are extremely well built revolvers hard to pick one over the other,

I just looked at the last price list that I had picked up at Korth Robert Bosch Str. 10 in Ratzeburg in 2008. The price for the standard Korth Sport was 4525 Euros, about $5,500 at the time.

My older MR73. The MR73 was actually built to specs for the French GIGN and was designed to handle their regimen of 100 full house 357 rounds per day. I believe even Willi Korth stated the Manurhin was a stronger revolver. They have butter smooth actions but are not quite as pretty as early Pythons or the Korth.
