Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary design inspiration for the Morini CM 84E pistol?

The Morini CM 84E's distinctive appearance and design are rooted in a scaled-down version of the Martini-Henry rifle. It's specifically engineered for one-handed, 50-meter target shooting competitions.

How does the Morini CM 84E's fore-end contribute to its accuracy?

The fore-end is detached and free-floated, meaning it doesn't contact the barrel. This design prevents changes in temperature or humidity from affecting the wood and subsequently impacting the barrel's accuracy.

What makes the trigger system of the Morini CM 84E unique?

It features an electronic trigger system. Instead of a mechanical linkage, a cable transmits signals to a module that fires a solenoid. This mechanism results in an exceptionally fast lock time.

What is the lock time of the Morini CM 84E, and why is it important?

The Morini CM 84E boasts a lock time of just 1.7 milliseconds. This extremely short duration, from trigger break to firing, minimizes shooter-induced movement, enhancing precision in competitive shooting.
