FWB P8X vs Morini CM 200EI

[crsuribe]

Interested in your opinions on these two great pistols... I used to shoot an FWB Co2 gun as a junior shooter before I moved to the U.S. and have been focused on practical shooting (USPSA) since I came here but I have an itch to get back to my roots and have been looking at modern PCP pistols like the FWB P8X and Morini CM 200EI

People seem to love the P8X but the Morini CM 200EI looks amazing as well. Having zero experience with either one, I'd love to get some feedback!

The price difference doesn't mean much to me, fortunately.

One thing to factor in is where to get them serviced. Pardini USA provides service for their pistols, but I know some people have had issues with them. Our host used to sell & service Morini, but their service operation is in a bit of turmoil, and they currently only service Steyrs. The place they recommend for other competition air guns is:

They list Pardini, but not Morini. If you look on Morini's web site, they list Champion's Choice and Pyramid Air as dealers, but I doubt that CC does repairs. Pyramid Air might. It might be worth asking both where to get Morini's serviced.

CC used to work on Walthers and probably others. I don't know about lately, though.

I have a P8X and a Steyr E10-M.

I like that they both have a grip that adjusts on all axis to the barrel. Much more easy than rasp and putty.

I like the mechanical triggers. I have yet to see one fail in competition.

I don't shoot one better than the other.

I ended up buying the P8X. I just love FWB since I shot a Model 2 as a kid and the P8X has every feature I'm looking for. Thank you all for your input!!

I had the FWB, Steyr and Morini. I ended up liking the trigger on the CM best so i sold the others. My scores with the CM were only a couple points better but the trigger feel made the difference for me.

I would say that it is only in mind. With proper training and rightly adjusted grip you will get good results with any of these pistols. I would take the pistol with better support in your country.

I’m using P8X atm. Good build quality, clear marks everywhere, and massive adjustments but maybe too many if you don’t really need them Eg. the grip and the trigger has almost 3D adjustment, but you won’t get them on and off 100% the same, which is a lil bit bothering as I like to modify my grip, so sometimes I wish it’s like Morini that has no adjustment on the grip lol, so no matter how many time you put the grip on and off, it’s on the same dead spot. Another thing I notice, but not quite sure, that is whether or not P8X has a little bit nose heavy.
I may buy a CM200 this year.
