Reliability problems, as l have heard.
Magazines was fragile.

Re: Morini .32?
Holy lord. A lot of problems.
Had one, got rid of it fast.
The importer sendt it back to Italy, and I was given a full refund.
The Morini CM .32 is a "no go". Stay well away from that one. Refering to our beloved friend "Rover": "It`s a piece of crap."
Morini have made their chare of good guns, but the CM .32 was a mishap.

Now I also have a hankering for a Morini CM102.
Or should I just check in for a psychiatric assessment?
Re: Morini .32?
Well, A "mishap"...I believe Morini could have made some improvements to their CM.32, to turn it into a reliable gun.
The "flaws" were, in my opinion:
- Extremeliy front heavy. Front heaviness may be a good for rapid firing a .32, but the CM .32 was too front heavy, more so than the standard CM.22.
An easy fix for Morini, just scrape off some tens of grams of the barrel shroud/weight.
- Rear sight could not be adjusted to make the gun print to center, for a 6 o´clock point of aim. An easy fix for Morini. Rear sight base had better be about 2 mm higher.
- Firing pin breaks, prematurely. Morini would be able to fix that , too.
- Magazine issues.
I hope Morin will reintroduce an improved version of their CM .32.
The CM .32 never got into regular production, i think. I consider the few guns released were kind of prototypes.

CM 102 22 lr. I had it, 30 years ago. Perfect balance and a very good electronic trigger. But many pistols (possibly 70%? or 80%?) had severe mechanical problems. Ejection problems, cases trapped. Of course 20% of those pistols worked perfectly.
