    Brno B96 Vs Twinmaster

    Hi
    Just testing the water, I've an Aeron Brno B96 pistol, but I'm thinking of selling it and buying a Rohm Twinmaster Trainer.
    I like the co2 target pistols, especially the multi shot.
    So am I heading in the right direction or do you guys know better.
    Cheers

    Aeron has (in my opinion) a better trigger and Rohm spares are getting hard to find now, I'd personally take an Aeron over a Rohm

    never had a B96 but have seen some extr good shooting done with one
    cant see the Trainer matching up,esp if the trigger is the same as the Top

    I suspect the trigger on the Brno B96 is on a par with the Brno Tau 7 - which is very nice.

    Not handled the Rohm but by all accounts the DA trigger action is heavy (it has to index the rotary mag). SA is probably more acceptable but that requires cocking the hammer to index the mag?

    Ive owned both and sold the Rhom due to its IMO poor trigger.
    I managed to score a 49 ex 50 with my Tau7 last night which I favour over my recently sold BRNO 96 due to, again, its IMO poor trigger. If its not specifically a multi shot your after I would have a close look at a Tau 7.

    Useful to know, did not realise the B96 trigger was not as good.

    The one on the example I recently sold wasn't. I could only manage to score low to mid 40s with it. I didn't want to mess with it to much incase I upset the ahuto feature.
    The Tau? Thats sickens me because I bought it off here s/h last year for £250 (approx) and it equals my Walther LP400 which I paid four times as much.

    But surely the twinmaster is a later gun than the b96, mines was originally purchased in 2002?

    I've heard only good things about the Tau 7, but it's a multi shot I prefer.

    Why does that sicken you? Surely you should be happy?

    Five shots

    I'd hold off buying anything until the five shot regs are resolved if I was you.

    See post in above thread re five shots.

    The Rohm is far more reliable no doubt. The aerons are a pain in the ass

    Later does not always mean better

    I could have saved several hundred pounds and not bought a LP400.
