HW45 Some claims!

[Rob M]

I've got to admit that the HW45 leaves me pretty cold. I really don't get how people can love them so much. I do own one, but I've just never really bonded with it like I have with various Webley, BSA, Hy-score, Record and many other pistols. It's powerful, well engineered, good quality, sure, but it's also pig-ugly, and lacking personality and any kind of style. They're also not as powerful as many like to claim as well. I've chronographed a few over the years and never seen one doing more than 4.5 ft/lbs.

but it's also pig-ugly.......

Ive owned a few and have a soft spot for them but have to agree they are an ugly pistol

As sin

Not quite as bad and Alecto though

You're right! I've used one on occasions.... good, but I wouldn't want to own one....... Its ugliness would frighten all the other pistols in the Gun-cabinet (Alecto I mean).

Ive had the HW75 for around 5 weeks now fitted with a Rhino 2x32 scope.
I use it for Hft pistol comps, if I hit the 25 yard metal target (which isnt very often) its capable of knocking it over.
I like the 75 glad I bought it.

The 45 might not be aesthetically pleasing to all but at least it doesn't look like a couple of odd bits of pipe kludged to gether with even odder fittings

The 45 has always dieselled due to the hard piston seal....is there a parachute seal for the 45?
