Manhurin in 357 as a first revolver; thought?
I tried a revolver for the first time today, and loved it. It makes no sense in any way, shape or form, and thus is the stupidest best handgun ever. It's needlessly heavy, requires more effort to shoot, and flames blast everywhere. Even got some spray back on my face and cordite residue on the table. A hoot, 10/10 smiles.
Also, and unlike my other kit which is for sporting, this one would just be for fun (a.k.a. the "shit and giggles special"). Go to the range, murder paper, smile; rinse and repeat.
Had a look for options, and given the challenges with import/export at the moment, wanted to avoid something from the US (no criticism on the build quality, more so availability and taxes).
Taurus didn't quite seem up-to-par in quality, although the 627 is pretty affordable and the ported barrel is a nice boon.
Korth's prices are...wtf... Also they actually didn't seem that nice, more so "flashy".
But the Manurhin felt like a nice classic watch. Not overstated, just cool.
But after reading several reviews online, the glowing reviews of the Manurhin also seemed to point to it being a more "elite" piece. So is it good as a first revolver?
