If your firing pin is too long, broken, or the spring too weak, the pistol might fire when the slide closes, like an old machine pistol with a protruding firing pin.

Sear engagement should not be a problem with the Pardini, that trigger is really very stable. I would take a very close look at that ammo; never heard of, and never shot S+B .32, but we had some strange phenomenons with 9mm S+B... And Davids idea about the firing pin could be an option, too. Check i...

If this had been Matchguns, 1'000 guys would burn them in public. As it's only Walther doing their testing in public, it's only worth a shrug. Still, compared to the SSP, which was developed for three years specifically for RF and all that it could do well was losing its rear sight during a match, t...

You must be to only guy on this planet happy with this C55 trigger. And the P58 is so big, it handles like a door in the wind. Try shooting RFP with that, it will certainly be good for your lateral abdominal muscles.

Check your V0. The short Morinis of our club last for about 100 shots. My short K12 will do about 100, too, but with a higher V0 (around 158 m/sec).

Good luck, not much of a market. You might try Pardini, too. They do make their own grips, at least the custom ones, so they might be able to help you out if somebody bothered at some time to program the PGP 75 on their CAD machine...

Of course. The first Morini CM102E hat SN 1000. The last one I know about was 400x. By your count, that makes 3000+ pistols. In fact, there were about 700. Do you believe in fairytales, too?

So, just how many do you think? I don't think there are more than a few hundred e-Steyrs around. The market is pretty small, the pricetag is pretty stiff, the competition in AP not too shabby. in near future Steyr will implement metal module instead plastic The Russians are famous for rebuilding th...

If somebody can point me to an online shop that stocks that stuff, for the Italian street price, AND exports it in smaller units than truckloads, I'm giving out a beer!

It's "stucco per legno", for wood repairs. The same stuff Morini SA sells, except that Morini has a different label and triples the price.

I'd guess the electronics are the same, but those are not the issue (except for their size). The whole e-trigger unit of the 50e - it can be dismounted, similar to the LP5 - is mounted on a piece of plastic that is so soft a 2 year old could chew through it in 2 minutes. So it doesn't stay in place ...

As if that were something new. Morini's been using a shoot-on-opening circuit since 1987 or so. If the Steyr LP10e trigger is built as well as my LP50e, good luck. That trashy piece of plastic ain't worth the paper the manual is printed on. If Matchguns had those kind of quality problems, everybody'...

The CM162E has no adjustable rear sight (in width and depth) Well, that statement is obviously wrong. Morini rear sights have been adjustable in width for years, when Walther still saw rear sight blades as a significant source of revenue. In general, I find VISIER hugely entertaining, especially wh...

Last new, unfired P240 I saw for sale sold in Switzerland at Kessler Auktionen, about 3 years ago. It went for over 4000 Sfr. Perhaps for a prototype. Never ever for a common serial production P240, except if some americans went totally nuts (it always takes two, which always amuses the bidders in ...
