    hw40

    considering affing a hw40 to my collection having read a few threads on here.
    was wondreing how loud it is to shoot in the back yard? and what the construction is like? and if the power was consistent for paper punching?

    hi dave

    the HW40 makes a great back garden pistol. i have 2 an they dont make much noise its more of a snap. good construction i have about 10meters in the garden an can quite happily knock down the targets or punch paper. both my 40s are at a whopping great 2.3fps. i would reckomend these pistols to anyone i cant fault em.

    I have to agree with Niel, it's a great all rounder, I also have 2 of them, they are great pistols.

    Given that my the first half of 6 yard range consists of the length of my kitched it certainly isnt that noisy to fire.

    I had one for yrs, very reliable not that loud only thing I found it a little hold sensetive, think it would be better if they were a little heavier and a good inch longer.

    Not had mine more than a few days but it's a superb pistol. Slight amount of muzzle flip (on mine at least) built like a tank and a damn sight more accurate than me (not that that would be hard )

    My only moan is the grips are a little slippy and a bit narrow for me and aren't replaceable, but that is a very minor gripe (I'll probably order a hogue HandAll to compensate this if I can find somewhere at a sensible price)
