is there a pistol that rivals the hw45 in power,acuracy and build qaulity

[mickson]

well as in the title my brother has a hw45 and id like something different to him but id like something that rivals the hw45 in power (dont want to be shooting a target for a hour then the hw45 comes and blowes it to pieces ) and in accuracy and build qaulity but of similar price (200-300) probably asking alot

would this be

on par at all

B S A Magnum 240 was indeed a fine pistol & a possible contender...mike...

my vote is also for the sheridan pistol , but it goes off like a cannon
otherwise i woulda kept mine, , must rank as one of the loudest air pistols ever i would think , great gun though will prolly only last a lifetime or three
i think a silencer spoils it a tad , so i gave it up .

And if I recall correctly I bought it off you!

Only to sell it a while later after fitting custom grips and a red dot. Silly of me.

Now have another two!

I like many pistols for many reasons and I think some great ones are getting a mention on this thread. I agree that the bsa 240 has not the best grip but I think it has to be up there for style balance and power.
Just to add some more to the pot how about;Drulov DU-10 condor and FAS 604.

My DU-10s only spit two when getting low on gas, they've never jammed

Disagree. The "magnum" moniker is truly misleading and the grip design is absolutely awful, must have been designed by a crab for a crab, not a human being.

Trigger not a patch on the HW45s either which as pointed out above, when adjusted properly offer seriously impressive performance.

I think the OP did well to buy what he did. If not an HW45 and one does not mind the fact that the running costs are not zero, a CO2 pistol from the likes of Crosman and co offer poke and accuracy and so many opportunities for customisation.

Each to their own i still prefer the Magnum, for me consistent & the grips were fine, i also agree with nick re the du10 a good consistent pistol with no problems, although i prefer the Zastava 45 clone despite its small grip...mike...
