If it's not smooth and has deteriorated then I would suggest it needs the attentions of a gunsmith. The trigger should be smooth and have a clean and consistent shot release. Just as a thought, have you checked / replaced the battery ?

A "crisp" trigger normally refers to a trigger with no movement until the instant before the hammer fall. As the finger applies more pressure, there is no perception of physical movement until the actual break.

A "roll" trigger allows for the feeling of physical movement as the finger pressure increases. The first stage of two stage triggers often display this. For some shooters, the roll trigger allows them to be sure they are, in fact, increasing pressure instead of just thinking it's increasing.

There appear to be more shooters leaning toward crisp triggers, but the current NRA Conventional Pistol champion (7 times) swears by his roll trigger. I believe if we had had Free Pistol slots last Olympics, he may have been in the running for the trip, but I don't know what type of trigger he prefers on his Free pistol.

Take Care,

On another thread it was suggested that you contact Morini to get a manual. I would strongly agree with that.

If you just twiddle screws without knowing what you are doing then you will only make a bad trigger worse.
