My experience with the electronic was, superb trigger, poor reliability.
Get the SP-RF.
Mine's been perfect. ( Touch wood )

Can the SP RF legally be used in sport/standard pistol? I'm seeing a difference in the weights used (tungsten vs. steel), and the bolt being out of a lighter material (not sure what though). Beyond that they seem pretty dang similar. As far as I know, it should still be legal correct?

Yes.
But the heavier bolt helps with accuracy on the slow fire stages.
The RF version usually is a little less accurate than the SP (the bull on a rapid fire target is 10cm (4 inches) on the standard pistol the bull is 5 cm (2 inches))
Only top level shooters would be able to notice the difference. And even then...
Hope this helps

If the original Pardini grip is to "raked" then buy it with a Nill grip, the Nill grip's rake is closer to the Walther GSP and Hammerli pistols. ( Less rake )
Rink makes two different grips for the Pardini. More or less raked.

Jenrick,
There is a great club near Austin that shoots Bullseye pistol,
http://austinrifleclub.org/
That is where the state championship will be in May.
As far as international shooting, no one in Texas shoots rapid fire pistol that I'm aware of. Team shooting stars in Dallas shoots all ISSF pistol events except rapid fire.
If you find a club that does I would sure like to know about it.

Also, I shoot a Pardini SP with a Rink grip. It shoots so good it feels like your cheating.

I used to have a membership up at ARC years ago when I lived up in N Austin, I've thought about going back if I got into bulls eye. I'm kind of spoiled by my ability to practice at the office, but if I ever get serious about it I probably will, just to be able to compete.
Honestly looking at the requirements for an RF range, unless you have to have electronic scoring a turning target range wouldn't be the bad to install or build. I'm kind of surprised no one's done it. Niche requirement I suppose.
