If I were you, I'd stop bitching about people's thinking and start producing what people are willing to PAY for - people that maybe will never shoot 590, and maybe aren't part of a chinese regional team (as the topshots seem to use Steyr's nowadays - with all those useless stuff on them), but people who love their sport and (to the horror of Steve and the rest of the hardcore fraction) like to tinker and experiment and discuss AND SPEND MONEY ON anyway?
It looks really you don't have to deal almost every day (including Switzerland) with people that wants a good pistol but they don't have the money to pay for it. Shooters, federations, clubs, all are in the same situation, money and bugget problem. People that have a lot of money to spend for an hobby like shooting are not soo much and are not enough to let a factory work. Look at our price from the last 10-12 years and compare to other manufacturer. I must say I am very sensitive on price because travelling all over the world gives me the idea of how less money does shooters have to spend (as I sayed switzerland included)
About china and chinese shooters I have to say that on the last chinese games there was 4 steyr and 4 morini in finale air pistol men (2,3,4,8 place ) and 1 steyr and 7 morini in finale air pistol women (1,2,3,4,5,7,8 place). On the asian games 3 weeks ago we made 1 and 2 in air pistol women with tao luna with the new games record 391. "...(as the topshots seem to use Steyr's nowadays - with all those useless stuff on them)..."If this means that the chinese top air pistol shooters are shooting more steyr than morini means you have information that I don't have about how many shooters all over china use morini and how many steyr but based from my records it doesen't look like this.
