Gentlemen, I do not see that Olympic pistol disciplines should be structured around what is common or available in the USA. Just because there is a dearth of facilities for the discipline where you live is not a reason to delete it entirely. There is considerable history and infrastructure for shoot...

Oddly enough, where I live in Australia I have two clubs offering rapid fire competition and if I am prepared to drive about 2 hours there are another two clubs offering the discipline. One of the local clubs hasn't been offering the discipline recently as they also conduct other ISSF disciplines bu...

Chuck Norris once shot a 601

Twice!

For me the side effect has been increasingly watching ISSF videos of rapid fire shooting on YouTube. I continue to be fascinated by the different styles of shooting and the inanity of the commentary.

There are on the internet diagrams showing what the errors can be based on where your shots are landing. They are usually in the form of a circle representing the target and showing the reasons why shots are landing at the various positions around the circle.

From the ISSF Rules, albeit this may be quite old now: "6.20.3.1 Prohibited clothing items for competitions and Victory Ceremonies include blue jeans, jeans or similar trousers in non-sporting colors, camouflage clothing, sleeveless T-shirts, shorts that are too short (see 6.19.2.8), ragged cut...

Why are you considering this ? If you just want a new toy, go ahea, treat yourself! :) If you shoot a lot of 5 target rapid fire pistol, how's the Morini not suiting your needs? I would definitely try to find one to test before buying. And now that you are at it, test the Walther SSP too. Pardini u...

Considering that you already have a Morini CM 22 M I would not consider buying a RF version of either brand unless you are planning on replacing the CM22. The performance difference between the standard and RF is an insignificant advantage for most shooters. I would save the money.....my personal o...

From what I have seen Morinis are quite finicky on ammo, and they have some adjustments like variable hammer springs which allow you to mess things up further. Pardini firing pins do break, and you must keep the sear well lubricated with moly grease or they will wear out, develop steps. Its quite e...

May I suggest that setting a goal such as competing internationally at the outset is not helpful. However, at 23 you have that chance but there needs to be intermediate goals. I am 73 and took up pistol shooting only 5 years ago. I had shot pistols back in the late '90s but due to work requirements ...

Thank you all for the information. The matter is still under consideration as I am in no haste to part with the money required for either. It doesn't hurt that the Australian importer only has Pardini at the moment.

I have been watching a number of ISSF videos of rapid fire competitions and apart from some national insignias or flags it would appear that anything goes - hoodies, tracksuits, t-shirts, shorts.

Pardini all day long. No-one at the top level of RF is using a Morini. Pardini reliability is second to none. Mine is 19 years old and still going well. Thank you j-team. Good recommendation that it is still going well at 19 years. I had some problems with my Morini, which was second-hand when I pu...

I have searched the forum but cannot see whether this comparison has been made before. If so please point me in the direction. I currently shoot a Morini CM 22 M pistol and am contemplating purchasing a specialist rapid fire pistol, either a Morini or Pardini. In Australia the latter is significantl...

The manual for my Morini CM 22M recommends cleaning about every 500 rounds or so and has in it details on how to clean the pistol. Should you not have the manual I discovered that they can be found on the web. There is a wealth of information on Pardini pistol cleaning on YouTube.

Having been involved in this sport for going on three decades, ISSF seems hell-bent on destroying Rapid Fire Pistol. "Start from zero" in the finals is straight garbage. "...presenting results in a more friendly way for a better understanding and more exciting final competition"...

I am a new member to this forum so please excuse me if what I have to say has been said before. When I set out to obtain my firearm licence it was my always my intention to shoot RF. Why, because it is difficult, demands a concerted approach and discipline and would hate to see it disappear. I find ...
