I know that there were problems at the beginning with titanium. One of the Olympic shooters in my club at the beginning had lots of problems and went back to the old springs. I don't know if he also removed the titanium stricken.
However the current titanium is much more silent than the black and I think it recoils less.
Are you sure that there is no difference presently between titanium a s black other than the colour??

So, how better to promote it than to "acquire" the interest of the best precision shooter in the world. It will be interesting to see if his scores change any, and my guess is they will not.
He used it to set a new finals World Record on his way to winning the Changwon World Cup.

Maybe it's not that bad a gun.
Quick, everyone sells the Steyr and buy the Morini!! :)

Oldie, but a goodie!
Except for the rear sight, that kind of blows. Wtb: knurling tools and/or Walther screwdriver.
A Morini with a Steyr rear sight could be a fun project.

Guess what I have got on the slow boat* from Switzerland! (Ordered it last month... Not a SIG 210/P49, sadly.)
Any way, even if it is an Oldie, so far I have not tried another pistol which sits in the hand so nicely as the 162EI.
Front sight is in the middle of rear sight even if I try to move it away! And my hand does not shake at all... Don't know on what it depends..... I am going to get its grip copied for my MGH1! :-)

you could easily make an adapter like on the 162short and fit the pardini k12 rear sight instead! maybe even modifying the existing adapter could work by removing some material and drilling 2 holes. to me even better than Steyr as there is no need for a rail to fit the sight on.
