Matchguns are only good for door stops, you don't have to tell me as I know ;-)

With regards to magazines falling out, that will only happen if the magazine has not been inserted correctly, and could apply to any pistol handled in such a way.
I have owned three AW93's, and found them extremely reliable, but I was never able to improve my scores....seemed top heavy and hard to control, and not enough rake angle for my liking...however the MG2 has a particular Italian magic about it, and now that Steffano Calzetti at Matchguns provided the re designed slide and buffers, it is magical. These are words coming from someone who owns one, not heresay. Since the new parts were fitted it has never malfunctioned , or been cleaned,even after over 1000 rounds and runs on any ammo.
There is a reason why Bruce Quick, arguably Australias best pistol shooter uses one, and I now understand why. Its a shame that earlier production runs didnt have these newly designed components, as It really is a magical pistol and a joy to use.
In the end purchasing a pistol is a personal thing, but my 2 cents worth after owning a 208, 208s and 280 Hammerli that david has tried and enjoyed is that given the same choices again I would re purchase the MG2, followed by a Walther SSP for their adjustability and that "extension to your arm" that both provide. good luck in your decision David
