Is it possible to still buy Manurhin revolvers in Australia.
I have been shooting black powder for sometime and would like to more into Center fire. I'm tossing up between a .32 or a .38. would profer a revolver over an auto.
Any advice will be appreciated, thanks..

Yes it is.
Victorian Arms Supplies normally carry stock ( they have new .357 Manurhins in stock at the moment ) but if they don't have stock of what you want, takes only 3 weeks or so to source from the factory in France.

Also look at the Alfa range of .32 and .38 match revolvers. Made in Czechoslovakia, good quality and available in both steel and alloy frames. 1/3 the cost of Manurhins.

do it the easy way and go for a .38 or .357 revolver:
- revolver is more inherently more reliable
- .38/357 will give fewer 'flyers' than a .32
Not sure that current Manurhins are quite as good as they were 20 years ago but still very good.

Nothing wrong with current quality Manurhin revolvers. Bought a new .38 Match single action only about 14 months ago and the polishing, blueing, fit & finish is superb. Likewise for my 4 year old .32 Match.
Puts my previous .32 Manurhin Match, bought in the early 90s. to shame...
