The real Cesare Morini and his grips
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 5:21 pm
I just want to share my great day.
Today I drove to Parma, to visit Cesare Morini, founder of the famous swiss company which carries his name, and now back to Italy with his new company Match Guns.
I was adviced by many old experienced shooters in Germany to get a custom grip made by Cesare Morini and nobody else.
And now I know why!
I went with the terrible grip of the LP10E. The grip gave me a horrible feeling in the hand (which i discussed in 2 other posts in here), never tried any thing as bad as that. I was about to give away the LP10E after only 10 days of use!
Also, we discovered that you cannot even adjust the grip using the specific screws in the body of the pistol, without touching the wood with the rear sight! What a disappointment for a great and expensive pistol!!
Any way, Cesare Morini made a masterpiece out of that!
He has worked continuously for 4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!
He nerver watched the time and never rushed.
He kept checking, modifying, filing and adding "microns" of material since he was finally satisfied.
He is a fanatic perfectionist....as much as I am!
The final result.
He has asked me many times to rise my arm, with closed eyes, aiming at him.
Then I had to open the eyes: Front an rear sight were always perfectly aligned.
Moreover he asked me to OPEN THE FINGERS in that position.
Not only the pistol would not fall on the floor, but the front and rear sight remained every single time perfectly aligned even with the fingers not holding the grip!
I COULD ACTUALLY PULL THE TRIGGER WITHOUT HOLDING THE GRIP, and the front an rear sight remained perfectly in line and did not move!!!!!!!
I could not believe this!
The feeling of the grip in the hand is a real dream! What a pleasure to hold it! I do not need to apply any strenght.
I have the feeling that the pistol is simply an extension of the bones of the forarm, and that it is completely weightless.
I feel really sorry for those of you, guys, who are far away (US? Au?), and cannot get such a masterpiece.... If you do come to Italy, don't forget your pistol.... what I got today is not custom made, this is ART!
Now, if I do not match the world record, I'd better give up! ....kidding
