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??

Not true!
They do a titanium/ steel composite now.

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.

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.)
*Land locked country - could take some time.

SamEEE,
you prompt me to start a new post!
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! :-)

Well, I hope it's not one of those shiny poser versions that you club mate got...
And, good news is that the Rhine starts in Switzerland, so the slow boat (a small one) can navigate all the way to the open sea...

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.
take a look:
