Re: two triggers, one goal

I think the key to having two different guns or two triggers (or both) which are helpful for training is to have them provide complementary results for the user. I have also used an IZH46 for practice and then shifted to the P40 for matches and always seem to shoot better with the p40 (mostly). I us...

Re: Which one Morini 162ei, Feinwerkbau p44, or Styre LP10Lo

I have shot all of them and they all are nice and you can do well with any of them. On the trigger, I liked the Morini electric trigger the best until I tried the p44, I am still playing with the P44, but coming to really like mechanical option better. The Steyrs are great, but was surprised how muc...

Re: Any experience with importing from Krale (Netherlands)

Plus one for Krale. Took my bank 3 attempts to figure out how and where to send the wire transfer and Krale was helpful in responding to emails in getting the wire done. Money wire showed up the day the retail shop is closed and posted the same day. Two days later on my doorstep in the middle of the...

Re: P44 first impressions after the first 1000 rds...

Nice summary of the p44. I would like to get one of these.

What was the solution for the air cylinder lubricant?

How are the feel of the grips and are they the older Morini style or the newer Ciro or other type of grips on the new black finished models?

Re: Walther LPM-1 Rebuild

You might find this link helpful. It describes more of a restoration than basic build, but at least it has some pertinent details which are hard to find on the LPM-1 http://www.classicapa.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=725 The build was done a bit over a year ago so the author may recall the details i...

Re: Training when away from home

I have taken a light weight (5lb) for hold isometric weight training when traveling. Interestingly, I usually get pulled out of security line for extra screening since it must look concerning to TSA at the airport, but that provides a means to get some shoulder endurance training to improve hold whi...

Re: Fwb dark blue vs light blue

The light blue has the one piece grip and the dark blue has the one piece morini. If you have the 2-piece, you can buy a 30 or so dollar adaptor piece from FWB to change to the one piece grip which provides more flexibility on grip adjustment but you would need to also buy the new one piece grip. It...

Scatt Wireless problem

I have gotten my SCATT wireless out of the box for the first time in several months. Everything looks like its working but I cannot register a shot. I tried tweaking everything and I still get no trace or shot. I suspect I may have an issue with the wireless sensor. I plugged it in to make sure it w...

"old lot of Basic". Does this mean they were produced several years ago and now have decreased performance? Alternatively were these pellets produced using different manufacturing than today? I could envision aging and oxidation making pellets perform at a lower level but don't know what t...

Izh 46 stock

I have an extra set of the "Jetter grips" I would sell if interested. I bought two sets some time back and got pretty good results with the material and did not need the second set. They can be a bit messy and take some work but the increased rake is nice. I think I paid like $50 or $60 so...

I think one can make an argument for general shoulder conditioning to avoid injury as the shoulder is not really made to hold an item extended hundreds (or thousands) of times but with that comes greater short-term problems. I know too many people with bad shoulder problems so feel a need to try to ...

I also must do weight conditioning on a regular basis and did find issues with dropped shots and some hold issues associated with weight lifting especially if shoulder related weight lifting was completed within 36 hours of a match. I found that if I threw in some isometric exercise (light wt 2-5 lb...

FWB p44

I think the on big reason why the p44 has not gotten as much use has to do with the poor track record in their PCP pistol offerings prior to the 44 which have gotten most shootes away from the brand. FWB did well with the model 65 and 80 and even the model 90 which had an electronic trigger. Their S...

fwb 103 grips

If I were upgrading grips, I would also get the one piece mounting plate (which can order directly from FWB). That would allow you to upgrade to the one piece grips which may give you more adjustments vs the 2 piece. Though I have not used the two piece Rink grips, the one piece Rinks work well on t...

I took the guidance I read in this thread and decided to try a heavy first stage and lighter second stage and it did not work at first since I kept pulling through the 2nd stage.

What happened to the search function on the site? I used to have the problem of getting hundreds or thousands of posts with a general search like "Morini" and now I only get a couple. I did not like the large number of results I cant find anything now. Anyone else having the same problem?
