I have the latest model and it still skips pellets. I heard of some cases where they don't skip pellets but those are very few. You can cock it however you want and it still skips pellets, at least mine does and those of many others as I have read throughout the internet. Accuracy with the magazine is definitely not as good as with the single loading tray, at least not in my gun. I have had mine for almost two years now and the regulator works perfectly fine, that is one of the guns strongest features, it is very consistent even at 300 bar. As for the trigger IMO it has one of the best triggers that I have ever tried and I own 6 air rifles, yes the first stage is a little too long but the breaking is light, crisp, no travel at all. You can see the gun in my profile picture, I have a suppressor on mine.
