Also known as: Morini CM 22M RF-Aluminium, Morini CM 22M RF-Alu
Overview
The Morini CM 22M RF ALU is a Swiss semi-automatic match pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, built by Morini Competition Arm SA for ISSF 25-metre rapid-fire and standard-pistol competition. The aluminium-framed 'RF-Aluminium' model uses a blowback action with a direct bullet-feed mechanism that loads cartridges straight from the magazine into the breech to reduce misfeeds and ammunition damage. Morini advertises it as having the lowest sight line of current-production small-bore standard pistols, and it pairs a highly adjustable two-stage mechanical trigger with interchangeable rear-sight apertures and adjustable walnut grips.
