"An entire factory set up to do about 10 revolvers a day"
Quality, old time manufacturing methods.
Once upon a time Colt blued most guns with similarly painstaking, long processes.
These revolver are said to remain tight after tens of thousand full power 357 shots.
It's nice to know someone still makes guns that way.
Never handled one of these beauties, no one seems to have one in AZ.

The whole story to why the exist makes these things so cool. That and they actually made a "sniper" version with a bipod and scope that was used by the GIGN.
I would rather have a MR73 than a Python or similar any day of the week. Video shows a nice blend of "new" CNC manufacturing combined with "old" hand finishing.
How much would it suck to be the test fire dude though? At first glance it seems like an awesome job - but by the time dude's work day is done the last thing he wants to do is see - let alone shoot - another gun. Lol.
