Re: Morini cm200ei
Yes, you can change the grip easily. Since the internal boards are connected with cables it doesn't need a left hand pcb or so. Regarding the blinking issue. This can happen if the trigger is "closed" while switching on. So make sure the trigger (blade) isn't somehow stuck or oddly adjuste...

Re: Grips: natural point of aim and cant
On some models this can be adjusted. The AP20pro appears to have the same grip mounting system as the LP500. Slightly loosen the bottom grip screw and you should be able to rotate the grip and tighten it again. Eventually any grip should customized with a dremel and putty. At which point I try to ma...

Re: Grip sizing
It's mostly about height from what I can tell. Steyr has LL (large long) and SL (small long) with larger circumfence. It would appear I have particularly long hands so while I can fit in all M grips and even some S grips from a height perspective I have yet to encounter a factory grip that wasn't to...

Re: walther lp500 query
I'd never get one of those colorful laminated factory grips. Sure they look nice, which is yet another excuse people use to not customize them. If you do customize them it looks way worse than having done so with a regular walnut grip.

Re: Accurize vs MantisX vs Scatt vs Trace
I have had various versions of SCATT devices for two decades but only ever tried a mantis from colleagues. I feel the mantis is a bit like the fitbit of target shooting. It gives you some feedback to maybe keep you motivated but no deep information. While the SCATT is an analysis tool.

Re: More Morinis than Steyrs ?
It would be interesting to see the distribution in qualification. The finals are just too small a sample size I think. There were three Pardinis in the mens finals for example.

Re: Centra Putter or Lottes Putter for Morini CM200EI
Yes. I use it for what looks like the same reason you are interested in it. I have somewhat long hands and with the stock trigger blade all the way forward my finger naturally rests on the bottom tip of the very curved Morini blade. The Putter entirely fixes that for me.

Re: Morini CM200EI serial number
There were changes. I happen to own two after I won a second one. They differ slightly around the charge lever where the to my knowledge newer version has a magnet on the side of the body that "locks in" the charge lever. One of mine has that and the other doesn't. But I don't know at what...

Re: New update on Morini CM200EI "Reverse trigger"
So I was just playing around with this. After updating the pistols firmware I could use the reverse trigger from the training menu. It also says you can't use this during competition (not sure how that would interact with the trigger weight check... Also once you pulled the trigger you are committed...

Re: New(ish) shooter with questions on sights
Not sure I follow the rezeroing issue? I don't think people commonly live fire at other distances than 10m. For dry fire it doesn't really matter since you aren't observing where the gun hypothetically shoots anyway. Except maybe if you use a SCATT but then you zero that and not the sights. In 28 ye...

Re: Centra Putter or Lottes Putter for Morini CM200EI
I have a Lottes putter on my CM200EI and it works well for me. I have it very far forward but it would also work all the way at the back of the mounting rail I think.

Re: Two lens shooting glasses
I added a left eye glass to my champion frames. There are simpler less adjustable holders. I find this a lot less jarring during breaks and also hope that the better peripheral vision with both eyes might help slightly with balance.

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes
I'd strongly suspect it will be 25m pistol. The precedent of different Womens and Mens events is mostly gone by now. The rifle events are the same as is air pistol. Also at least from my anecdotal observation in Switzerland and Surrounding countries it's the most common .22 pistol event even for men...

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes
Those two things are clearly connected though? If the finals would add on top of the qualification results (as was the case once) it becomes less jarring that the format changes. Or if the finals were the same as the qualification starting at zero would be reasonable because they both test the same ...

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes
The funny thing is that most ISSF shooting events don't have finals. Only Olympic ones do. Because I guess they are desperate for their 15minutes of mainstream media coverage that gets them every four years?

Re: Am I too old?
Plenty of people that competed at the Olympics started around that age or even later. This isn't the kind of sport where you need to start at 6 so you can peak at 17.

Re: Why is Pardini K12 unpopular
I'm honestly not surprised that people don't land on the K12. Not because there is anything wrong with it. There just isn't anything special about it either. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's great in every way that counts I think. But it does nothing to set itself apart. All the current top...

Re: Repich Morini CM 200 electronics/cell phone app
I have had it from around when it released but don't find myself using the app. Neither the shake amount graph nor the direction one is particularly useful in my opinion. The direction one covers too little time and the shake graph is too vague.

Re: Thoughts on reforming RF
I'm not convinced accessibility of capable ranges is really what prevents wider adoption of RF. Here in Switzerland 25m ranges with that capability are ubiquitous yet basically no one recreationally shoots rapid fire. Even if you have the capability, holding competitions is still impractical. You en...

Re: Free Pistols are still being made .. ?
Was that really the ISSFs will? I highly doubt they would intentionally reduce the number of Olympic events. I always heard it as the IOC requiring that the number of shooting events be reduced and the ISSF had to name their least favorite child. At the same time they also dropped Double Trap and 50...
