Interesting news from Matchguns regarding MG2 and MGH1

Yesterday I drove to Parma again.
May be not all of you know the area. As we Italians say, it's the region of sins: CIBO (food), DONNE (girls) E MOTORI (motors).
FOOD( Parmesan, Parma Ham, Barilla, great cuisine ), MOTORS (Ducati, Ferrari, Lamborghini all produced in the area), GIRLS ( the nicest in Italy and the most independent of Italy, probably because during the Second World War females were fighting the Hitler's Nazi side by side with men among the partisans).
Since 18 months it has become for me: food, motors, girls and guns!
So yesterday I started with a great lunch with 24 months old Parmesan from Vacche Rosse (=red cows, a variety which makes the most tasty Parmesan, and which you get only in Parma), 24 months old Parma Ham and "Culatello" ( a special type of Parma Ham), and a glass of "Lambrusco" ( a sparkling red wine, which I am sure the locals invented ages ago to get their girls drunk, (ladies love it and drink it as if it were coke!!!)).
The Ducati is in the "wish-list".
The Ferrari/Lamborghini are in the "impossible-list".
Girls are in the "don't-you-dare-list", as my German wife is worst than a Sicilian and would cut my throat!
So , after the first sin, I headed directly for the 4th sin....Master Cesare to fine tune my grip. (I will post some pictures...the grip is really becoming good).
Going to the point.
Interesting news from Match Guns.
1) MG2: Cesare has modified the guide which directs the ammunition in the firing chamber of MG2. So those who experienced troubles with some cheap ammunitions will not have the problem any more. The new guide has three sections with different slopes, which progressively rotate the bullet in the horizontal position. Cesare tested it with most common ammunitions.
The new guide can be fitted in old pistols too.
2) MGH1: the metal piece holding the cocking level is now fixed with an additional screw to the pistol frame. So my pistol was yesterday modified in a few minutes by drilling the hole and putting this 3rd screw.
Results are amazing. Thanks to this the sear engagement can be safely reduced to a ridiculous amount (about 10 minutes of rotation). As a result the mechanical trigger has considerably improved. It is now very fine!
The electronic trigger too has become even better than it was, if possible. I asked to set it at 500+25grams, which in the past was not possible. It feels much much better than before and extremely consistent, and crisp.
