The Morinis issues are easily solved (polish the chamber etc).
Are you kidding? Polish the chamber on a 2-grand pistol? That's nuts. I was going to say, "No offense intended"; but an outfit that builds an expensive pistol that may need its chamber polished perhaps ought to be offended.
The chambers of booth are dimensioned to suit European .22 ammunition - which is ever so slightly smaller than American. Chamber polishing mentioned here is allow reliable chambering of the larger American ammunition, not to correct any chamber defects.
You can do the polishing yourself - David M posted excellent details some time ago on how to do this for a FWB.
It is more the standard of finish I am refering to with the Morini. They seem to be a bit rough. Have a look at the fired cases and you will see the scuffing on the brass.

As I suspected, you know the difference between polishing and reaming.
Féél them yrself and choose. We cant feel for you!
I have a Pardini SP myself, allthough I love my 162 morini AP, I didnt like the morini .22. Its SO personal.
Dont think you can go wrong with either.
Another option would be the Walther SSP. It has more grip rake than aw93 , is lighter in front, can be fitted with damping weigh and in the near future it will be available with e-trigger. From the limited coverage i get in the world cup videos aw93 and cm22 can be seen mostly in women's sport pistol discipline. RF is dominated by the Pardini and in rare occasions i have seen in the videos the presence of SSP and MG2. Another overlooked candidate might be the Bennelli.

James,
Could you please explain specifically how the new GSP version is messed up compared to the old? I've never handled one, but it doesn't look that different.
IMHO SSP with mechanical trigger is quite finished. it was its peculiarities but most bugs have been corrected. as for gsp trigger james i guess you refer to the old OSP style ones. the trigger units of late gsp or gsp expert we have at our club are not different. only a bit worn more because we had 2 sets (1000/1360gr) and because we used to switch them a lot. what about benelli? it has performed very well in the hands of klimov. also mg2 can be ordered with alu or steel for the front weight which alters the balance. also you can get a customized grip which is very nice (mine is the best grip i have and i am trying to find a way to copy it to all my other pistols).
Or just order the whole MG series. LOL. Well i like to experiment a little. A long time ago i tried and copied an old grip of mine to use it on my then new LP10 using rubber silicone and a type of resin i used for scale modelling. grip was good but too heavy. nowadays i have found liquid plastic. i have made plastic copies of the front sights for both my mg2 and the club gsp i use for cf to enable quick change of point of impact between sp/cf/rf without messing with rear sight adjustments (inspired by the interchangeble rear sight of SSP and the front variable height sights i have seen on e-gun for GSP).
