Yes, the mag release. In this iteration, the lever moves downward whereas the 1st & possibly the 2nd batch it moves upward. This was done for left handed shooters. I kind of like it out of the way in the new version, but hard to tell if it might be a bit cumbersome to unlatch the mag with the lever located in a fairly tight spot between the gauge and mag.
True. However, the word I received was that it was supposed to be "included", but that something happened with the finishing of it and they forgot to include the adapters in the first batch. I was informed that the missing adapters will be sent with the 2nd batch and then dispersed. But I'm not holding my breath for that to occur. For it seems the issue is sort out sight, out of mind and not really mentioned any by any of the dealers.

I reported that and it is true if dry firing, but amazingly, when firing pellets, it works very well. At the time of wring that first comment, I had not shot a pellet. I find that behavior strange, but I can live with it. The Hush mod as it is called, really quiets the bark very well and it weighs only 56 grams. You don't even know it is there when mounted.
I am confused on your magazine lever comment. I think the US and European model are the same. On the one I just received from Spain, you lift the lever to disengage to load and lower to reengage to shoot.
Outside maximum power levels, I don't believe Huben differentiates their GK1's as either a European or U.S. models. What I'm referring to, as I descriptively mentioned above, in slightly different terms, the 1st iterations' mag release interfered with the grip of left handed shooters. So, after some lefty's apparently brought this to their attention, Huben modified the lever to acquiesce to our southpaw brethren of the orthodox challenged. Please see attached pics that juxtapose the differences. 1st pic is [supposed] new design to accomodate lefty's and possibly, but don't know for certain, how all future iterations will be. The 2nd pic was from 1st batch, I believe mostly shipped to U.S. buyers. Please note the green arrow that points to the levers' grippy ridges positions' and how lever on left requires a downward delatching of the mag, whereas the other is opposite or upward. Hope this clears up any confusion...
I have the exact same red dot which I currently use on my Weihrauch HW44 (with a picatinny mount). May I please ask what kind of plate you have bought to mount the holosun red dot on your GK1 ? I think I need a dovetail adapter of some sort but I'm not sure what I should get. Thanks in advance

I got the cheap split 4 slot picatinny from Amazon and the holosun plate from Eurooptic. It was only like $30-40 for both plus shipping IIRCI have the exact same red dot which I currently use on my Weihrauch HW44 (with a picatinny mount).

I believe his post it said “sounded the same dry firing with it without” or something like that. I just received mine from Spain, with Huben moderator, yesterday and it is loud dry firing. But when shooting pellets it’s VERY effective. Considering now that I turned it up it’s about as loud as a .22 RF pistol.
Dry firing is pulling the trigger without a loaded pellet, just air. When doing this, the report is just as loud as not having any moderator mounted. However, once a pellet is used, the report is much quieter. It is only then the Hush moderator reduces sound and it does that very well.
Is yours .22? I got some of the 25 grain edgun pellets and it also likes AA 18 grains too.
They might have thought you had the first batch. If you have a thread coming out of the barrel then you can attach a moderator. HTH
