This pistol hurt to shoot. Trigger was so heavy when it did break the shock through the finger was painful. ChrisW said it’ll probably need a lube, so I took it apart. A real simple see-saw type trigger mechanism, but with ball bearing. And a stonking great big nylon bolt hidden in the handle to adjust. What a difference the adjustment made - 1st, the trigger feels really nice and 2nd, one of the ball bearing fell out The ball bearing don’t rotate, just provide two hard surfaces to reduce wear on the soft metal. I need to peen the metal of the trigger over to stop the little bleeder escaping again and we should be good to go. A thank you to stoof.

Hitler only had one ball and he got a bullseye with his last shot......I am sure you will fix it

Thought I’d update - I may have made the trigger lighter, but it still hurts. So much so that I haven’t shot Semovente 4 months

Hah, the cursed Italian claims another victim. I said it was painful to shoot when I handed it over, and I wasn't joking! Have you realised that it consitently hits several inches higher than the maximum possible sight adjustment? At reasonable pistol range anyway, I'm sure it comes back into the sight picture at fifty yards or so! I don't know what's up with it - from what I found when I did a little research myself a Bruni BBM CF92 should just be an unremarkable (if apparently quite rare) semi-powerful back yard plinker - not a painful nightmare trying to get a pavlovian aversion to firing from whoever is unfortunate enought to be holding it. I never chrono'd it. Have you? I did have the worrying thought that it might be kicking so painfully hard and hitting very high because it's running very, very hot... which might go some way to explaining why it was hidden way behind a hot water tank in a flat that I know was owned by someone who was sent to prison before it was reposessed...
I'd love to see you try and get a postal pistol card with it
