What makes the Steyr, Morini, and Walther so heavily preferred in 10m Air pistol? What's wrong with the Pardini, FWB, the Anzschutz (well, now it's discontinued), the Rohm and Twin Master, FAS, Benelli, Matchguns, SAM, and Tesro guns to name a few? They all are pre-compressed pneumatic pistols, they all have similar designs with counterweights, compensators, match grade grips, and it seems, fully adjustable triggers. Do the top three pistols just shoot that much better? Is it the range of adjustability? The compensators? The reliability? The finish?
I care about shooting ISSF 10m Air Pistol competitively and though I am just learning, I wonder if I'm really going to be hindered by not buying one of the top guns.
I have shot .22 bullseye pistol in the US quite a bit, and I have had confirmation from a number of people (including a guy on the US shooting team) that you can get well into nationals shooting a lowly Ruger MK II or III for 1/3 the price of a full Olympic-grade gun. Is this the same case as with air pistols?
I know it is hard to compare these guns since most people don't have access to even a few of them at the same time. So if you have had a chance to compare, please share!

Thanks!
