Any reliability problems with Morini?

Post by Hawkeye »

Does the Morini 162EI have reliability problems, I heard that its pressure keeps varying, is this true?

Not for me...

For the last thirty days I have been taking 100 shots per day seven days a week with my Morini.
Not even a hint of uneven performance (except for the nut holding the gun).

Is there any difference between the Mechanical and Electroni

Is there any advantage of using an electronic trigger, Is ther a chance the circuit board may short circuit.

Well OK, one problem...

The cost of the Morini could be lowered a bit if the factory used decals of a manometer on the end of the AP cylinders instead of the non functional manometers currently being used.
Maybe they need to contact the Steyr folk...
I have never heard of anyone having problems with the electronic trigger ( but I have only been at the bar for a couple of years ).

If you had a split second to choose a pistol:

If you had to choose a pistol this minute which would that be: Morini, Walther LP300, Steyr LP10, SamK11 ro K14 etc.... which would it be?

Muzzle flip of Morini

Post by AD »

Jerry do you experience any muzzle flip with the Morini 162EI, I own a LP300 and am goig to sell it 'cause its really giving me a whole lot of problems, I am now going to buy a Morini 162EI, as the Morini has no recoil absorber do you feel any muzzle flip, also is the grip(non-adjustability) a problem?

Good adjustability and great recoil cancellation. Someday I hope the Morini trigger will make a difference in my score, but I'm not there yet.

: Is there any advantage of using an electronic trigger, Is ther a chance the circuit board may short circuit.
The electronic trigger is always consistent - ALWAYS. It has a precision feel to it which is best experienced, it's difficult to explain what makes it better than a mechanical trigger.
It also makes the Morini probably the best pistol there is for dry-firing practice. You turn the switch on and you can pull the trigger repeatedly to replicate EXACTLY the same trigger characteristics as when normal firing. With each pull of the trigger, the solenoid gives a satisfying click, but no air is expelled. There is nothing to move, reset, or cock between dry-fires - it makes for a good "meditation" session.
The circuit board is encased in an insulating sheath, so short-circuits are extremely unlikely. My understanding is that the components operate well below their maximum "loads" and failure of the electronics is extremely rare.

There is an easy cure for muzzle flip. It's called follow through. :)

I have been shooting a Morini 162EI since 1998 and up till now almost 150,000 shoots, including dry fire and the circuit board never fail once.
If you are an ordinary shooter, i.e. shooting hand and aiming eye is of the same side, the adjustability of the Morini is good enough for everything. Even if it not so, there are still methods to fix your grip so that you can align straightly.
The best from the Morini is its trigger, its balance, its grip and reliability. As for the manometer, it is better for you to use it as a reference for filling as the Morini already has an internal devise so that if the preasure drops to marginal function, it will not let you cock for your next shot. Don't you agree it is much better.

The only electronic trigger I have pulled is on an older FWB-90 which is much the same gun as the 65 with an electronic trigger. The trigger on this is as described on the Morini, very nice!: : Is there any advantage of using an electronic trigger, Is ther a chance the circuit board may short circuit.
