You seem to be under the misconception that the GIGN replaced their auto pistols with revolvers.... that wasn't the case. The GIGN carried, and still often carries today, BOTH a semi-auto pistol and the revolver. It makes sense in the original GIGN mission framework which was strongly oriented to hostage rescue in very crowded environment (in particular the MR73 was very successful during highjacked plane intervention) where few accurate shots are essential. Also the GIGN kept the "shoot to disable" rather than kill well into the 2000. Remember that the GIGN unlike the SAS is a purely police oriented unit, they will not be used in a military theater. The MR73 was also associated with a specific ammunition (the THV, you can google it), very light, very fast, etremely effective against both soft tissues and the body armor of that era. But the THV didn't cycle well in semi-auto but were great in a 357mag... especially one built to withstand higher than usual pressures.

When police department moved away from revolvers we started hearing stories of gun fights where 100's rounds fired and nobody was shot.

Back in the 90s, Jeff Cooper decried the spray and pray cop shootings. He proposed arming cops with Ruger Blackhawks in .357 magnum. The police seem to emphasize mag changes over marksmanship. Actions at the point of contact are the result of training. Then there is the tendency of law enforcement agencies, AND applicants, to utilize the internet for recruiting. So, some newbie from Bugtussell hires on to work in Dallas or Atlanta based on their aptitude score in Nowheresville U.S.A. police academy.

I am French. And to correct one thing you said. The GIGN goes also on missions outside France. But it concern only the Paris GIGN with is the REAL GIGN. There are others GIGN antennas all around France but not as well trained like The Paris GIGN unit. So they've already had mission in Africa to free French prisoners from terrorist. They also went to Afghanistan for the same reasons, and they also do Top Secret Mission with the Commandos Marine (witch are the pinnacle of the French army). And just to say the Gendarmery is also part of the military. So the GIGN is a military special force witch acts in France ost of the time and witch can act outside France. And to finish, there is also a unit like this but in the French police witch is called The RAID.

I've been in the Gendarmerie myself, and the GIGN is hardcore. They do real ammo training and lose more men in training than actual missions.

I am 70 and had a few old friends who had served some time in the Legion Estrange, I myself am X UK Forces. We were chatting about revolvers versus automatics back in the 20th century and an old oppo mentioned GIGN and the MR73, never seen one, but the sound of the hammer being pulled back sounded engineering perfection. As an engineer, personally, I find French engineering to be excellent with flashes of extreme intelligence, or just an F up, they use too small fixing screws. 10mm shit and such. Some old things just work well.

Someone probably commented this already, but the Gendarmerie is a weird case : they are a police force (as in, their duties are the same as the national police) but they are a part of the French Armed Forces, but depend on the Ministry of the Interior due to the aforementioned police duties. They usually cover the rural parts of France, while the national police is concentrated in the more urban areas. So, basically, they are cops with military ranks.

I´ve heard that one GIGN got shot and still managed to kill three terrorists with such a revolver, after he was shot in the right arm, which is quite remarkable, as he was badly injured, there were plenty of non-targets and the terrorists had automatic rifles. Speaking of planes, AFAIK, only the Austrian special police ever managed to end a hostage situation in a plane whilst it was flying at high altitude. The thing was, that one of its members was off duty when some idiot pulled a weapon right next to him...

The French cop, on the other hand, had a busted arm, was in great pain and had lost a lot of blood.

3:45 As a matter of fact, since they're gendarmerie, they're military as well. Which allows them, amongst other things, to operate outside of national territory.

The GIGN belongs to the Gendarmerie which is a Military unit, unlike the Police forces which are civilian units reporting to the Minister of the Interior. The gendarmerie carries out police missions mainly in rural areas. GIGN is a unit specializing in the management of hostage-taking of French nationals abroad or in France. As in February 1976 in Djibouti. There are also missions that can come close to SEALs like the capture of the Great Mosque of Mecca in 1979. In any case, superb video thank you.

I don't think Ian mentioned that when a team was in a very enclosed space, they found that the ejecting rounds of the semi-automatic pistols broke the concentration of the shooters, so a revolver was thought solve that problem. I also think the teams had sub machine guns, and automatic pistols when they were needed. The MR-73 was for fast, accurate shooting.
