I love the Pardini FPM. The trigger does take some getting used to since the FPM is a 1 stage mechanical versus the 2 stage electronic. From the bench, the accuracy is phenomenal. I did a lot of research before I bought mine, and I was sold on it for a variety of reasons.

In speaking to several other shooters who have been shooting different manufactures, they love the FPM and FPE as well, but were concerned about switching from something they had been shooting for years.

The only problem that I have had with mine is that I had the compensator cone depart the gun at some point in training. I never did find it on the range, and had to order a new one from Larry's. It is held in by a 1/4cent screw and in my mind is a weak design on the gun. Everything else seems to be well designed. I doubt this is a surprising occurrence as larry's had just gotten in a bunch of compensator cones as parts from Pardini which is not a part I can see them stocking for most guns.

I am also shooting a Pardini K10 air and buying an SP Rapid Fire in the next week or so, so I am pretty satisfied with the Pardini products for the most part.

The FPM also can be set up as a two stage trigger. My friend has a 2 months old FPM and it has this feature. Maybe a new feature on the FPM?

If I understand well the user manual, both FPM and FPE can be set for either a two stage or a single stage trigger: http://www.pardini.it/manuali/manuale_blu.pdf

I just wrote to Pardini asking the maximum trigger weight of the FPM and FPE. They replied that the FPM has a max trigger weight of about 90 grams but they could put in other springs if you wanted it higher. The FPE is not availeble at the moment and they don't know when it will be....
