Mike,
It seemed easier than my Beeman 2004 ( HW40 copy), I'd have to have both together & compare though, I'm a bit of shovel handed ape
Clare (Cerebral Chasm) had more of a play and had no problems, if she's tried an HW40 Clare may be able to give a more objective view?
It's a sweet pistol,
It Will Be Mine!
