I can buy a free pistol from someone. Pretty cheap too.
All I know its a morini, dunno wether it already is a C84 though.
It dóes have a trigger(guard?)sensor. When yr finger isnt on the trigger, it wont go off. Does that help to determine how old it is?

Also, its the wrong grip, its a L/H one, I'm r/h. How much do those grips go for new?

It sounds like a CM84. You can tell a little more about the age, depending on what kind of battery it takes. The original ones used a 15V photo battery, and the new ones use a pair of AAA batteries.

Warning! If you have to change grips, you will probably also have to replace the electronics! At least on their air pistols, the electronics board is NOT ambidextrous.

If it's got a "trigger guard sensor", it must be a 84E. With the older models 80 and 82, there was nothing like that, but a lot of other things :-)

Haven't ever seen a 84E with 2 AAA batteries, but that doesn't mean that there are none. What I have seen is a newer ambidextrous electronics module with a small cell battery that is automatically siwtched on and off, but AFAIK that is not in serial productions and probably only available to Francesco's friends with a score of more than 560.

2nd hand grips are rare, and offers including the electronics even rarer. You definitely need a different electronics. Can't remember ever seeing one on egun. A complete pistol would sometimes sell for less than 800€ there.

The probably cheapest way to get anything would be to talk to Morini directly, they might be inclined to help you out, depending on their current mood. Personally, I'd wait for a R/H pistol to come onto the market, 'cause you won't get much for the lefty grip, either, if you try to sell it.
