Why are you so offended by electronic triggers Mike Douglass? Grab a coke and cool down a bit :-) Equipment discussions are almost always boring and unimportant. Use whatever pistol you like and prefer - electronic or mechanical trigger is of less importance. But ranting about electronic triggers wh...

Re: Effect on Training, No AP Recoil

What is the effect on your training program if you start with the assumption that 1. the AP has negligible recoil 2. any movement is induced by the shooter. You must work on improving your technique to eliminate the movement you created! Cure the shooter! You are not overcoming the pistol's recoil,...

I'm (somehow) glad to read that I'm not the only one with that problem. I realize currently manufactured Pardinis are useless in Rapid Fire as well as Standard Pistol. Did somebody try to successfully get in touch with Pardini Italy? Yes, just drop them a mail and you will get answers pretty fast. ...

Indeed.

Btw, talking about looks, some Plastic Padding and lots of Dremeling will make the grip look like a real pistol grip. :-)

Interesting topic. What works perfectly for me in my HP 32 is factory made Lapua or Norma ammunition. The only downside is cost - not very cheap ammo. I tried to replicate Norma/Lapua factory load.(They are hot, lots of recoil and high speed) but with little success. Holes were not round etc. I trie...

Well, Mike Douglass... I do.

I beleve that the ultimate AP would be a Steyr LP10 with a Morini electronic trigger. But thats probably not going to happen... :-(

Re: Ralf Schumann has gained some weight?

I thought that subject might get your attention. ;-) Actually, I'm referring to the photo on this page: http://www.issfnews.com/articles/article.asp?id=618 Looks like a little extra on the bottom towards the muzzle? Maybe he likes them really muzzle-heavy. Stan I wonder if it is more than just a we...

Yes, very different triggers. LP10 trigger is much better suited for single shot, more crisp and exact. However, with some skillful modifications, the LP5/50 trigger can be ok even for single shot. But if you are going to shoot single shot events, get an LP10 or any other top air pistol, IMHO.

By the way, the pardini trigger can be adjusted to be ultra crisp or rollover creepy - whatever your preference is.

Mmm beautiful. When I see new and shiny grips I think of dremel and plastic putty... :-)

Pardini is very nice. I have a SP New myself ;-)

The 162M makes as much sense as alcohol free Scotch . Not necessarily. If you like the balance and general feel of the Morini but need more grip angle adjustment than is available from the 162E then the 162M may be the way to go. Grips are adjusted with a dremel and plastic padding. Not to any grea...

Creepy triggers are just creepy IMHO. And there is no such thing as a TO dry/crispy trigger. Morinis electronic AP trigger is the best there is. I own a Steyr LP10 and a Morini 162E. Both are nice pistols, but if I have to choose only one of them I would choose Morini without any doubt. Morinis trig...

Pardini electronic triggers

Hello my friends! I'm about to buy a cal .32 Pardini HP. I'm not sure if I should get a mechanical or electronic trigger. I have a Morini 162El air pistol, its electronic trigger is absolutly wonderful, ultra crisp and ultra precise. Is the Pardini HPE (and SP1) trigger constructed in a simular way ...

Why make this more complicated than it is in reallity? The basic is to keep focus on front sight, accept movements in aiming area and squeeze the trigger at the same time. Others (read: some very experienced top level shooters) keep focus somewhere in between the target and front sight. Do whatever ...
