Overview
The Morini CM 22 is a Swiss semi-automatic match pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, purpose-built for ISSF 25-metre standard and rapid-fire competition. Manufactured by Morini Competition Arm SA, it uses a blowback action with a direct bullet-feed system that loads cartridges straight from the magazine into the breech to prevent bullet-nose damage and misfeeds. It is prized for its low bore axis, highly adjustable two-stage mechanical trigger, anatomical orthopedic grip and configurable barrel weights.
