It cannot be different since the electronic trigger is a separate module and is attached to the rest of the pistol with an electric connector so is not affected by the state of other mechanical parts. What you are experiencing is the difference in feel caused by the movement of the other parts when ...

I have not tried the Morini but I will have to disagree with LukeP. To me the LP10E has the same trigger feel whether you are dry shooting having cocked the pistol or not or live shooting. Whether you like the way it feels is another matter. Personally I like the fact that electronic triggers do not...

Wow, I never thought the cheap pellets would have such a dispersion.
Although I use H&N Final Match Rifle pellets I was under the impression that the difference was negligible. It seems that this is not the case, at least for your pistol.

106m/s is extremely low.
I would first try to adjust the velocity

Here are steyr's instructions on how to do it.

If it does not work you could have a problem in either the regulator or the hammer.

I had the same problem. In Greece it is impossible to find shooting shoes in stock. What I did is try other shooters shoes. Since most of the other shooters had sauer shoes and they seemed to fit I did not want to risk other brands without trying them. I have narrow feet and the Sauer Easy Style Fle...

Re: Reply from ISSF

Both Pistol and rifle are equally affected by the speed of the lanes target transport machines Not true. Pistol targets are bigger. The bigger surface causes greater wind resistance thus slowing down the motor that moves the targets. Oh, and rifles shoot the pellets at higher velocities than pistol...

This weekend I participated in one of a series of matches for the selection of the national team for 10m air. This was the first match we shot with the new rules. The matches were shot on paper targets. For the rifle guys it was 1:15 whereas for us (pistol) 1:30. I don't understand why there is a di...

This EU directive has to be transposed to national law in each member state, right? Correct. And about the penalties? Are they country specific or is there another directive? I guess country specific. I can't help you any more though since I am an engineer and not a lawyer and my knowledge concerni...

EN standards are not legislation. ADR and RID on the other hand are legislation and they mention a period of 10 years.

Don't bother.
I have mentioned tped in various occasions (see my links above) yet some people still can't find any legislation for vessels below 1 liter or where the 10 years period comes from.
