Hi, people, i recently purchased a HW45 from Andy J (as shown in the pistol picture thread) with red Patchmayr grips, and it looks great. Its huge, but how does it compare to a real firearm (1911), size wise?

I havent got a chance to fire it yet, apart from dry firing it once, to see how it worked. Ive ordered some RWS Hobby pellets for it, are these good? what about lead free pellets? Im only gonna be killing tins and targets.

Im on the lookout for a small red dot scope for it eventualy, the smaller the better, similar to the Hawke RD30, as that seems pretty compact, but im sure theres some smaller fitting ones available?

Also, what would happen if you fired it while the latch was open? As i know your supposed to put the safety on, but im curious as to what would happen.

Any help would be great thanks.
