New Weihrauch air pistol - the HW44

[Rickenbacker]

I agree. Why the hell make a pistol that looks like the 110 rifle? I think it looks shit. And it's multishot... Ugh.

[mrto]

Incredibly fugly!

As soon as I saw the title for the thread, I was thinking to myself, "Wow, a new HW pistol. I don't need any more guns, but a pistol is easier to find a home for."

Then I thought, "I bet it's a PCP"! Not for me, then.

Unrestricted version sounds very powerful (obviously not for us) and, as above, with a shoulder stock fitted, would be an awesome, compact ratter. Match trigger, too, and, no doubt, it'll be extremely accurate.

PCP, will be just fine as then I will have a PCP, CO2 and MSP pistol - cover all my needs.

Originally was looking for a Brocock Super 6 or Elite but as they have stopped making them reluctant to buy.

Looks like it's trying waaaay too hard to be tacti-cool.
Not exactly a timeless beauty and so not floating my boat I'm afraid.
Probably sell OK though...

I'm looking forward to seeing folk make them into little carbines like the falcon and brocock pistols

Rohm Twinmaster Top would probably be a better buy multi shot PCP. Not complicated and easy to maintain, mine is very accurate and spits out 7 grn pellets at 540 fps.

Has lots of HW 110 looks/bits.
As Harvey says it's heavy!

[clarky]

just so disappointed.....when i saw hw44 i started thinking in terms of a 2 pump hw40 or even a hw75..
Then this perishing thing...
Looks like a kids airsoft assault pistol.....
You would of thought it would be easy to put a multi pump unit into the 40 or 75 frame...
Or a slightly different incarnation.....stupid boy i am .

[coburn]

Wow do I like that, shame its nearly 3lbs. What a cracking looking pistol.

[wawawii]

Any idea on price

[Geezer]

It's not meant for us, it's meant for Americans, who will run it at 18ft/lbs and shoot woodchucks, gophers and possums (whatever any of those are) with it.

Bit pointless at sub-6 ft/lbs, IMHO.

Any news on a release to market date?

If its RRP is £450-500 where would it position itself? It's not a 10m match pistol and that would be a lot of cash for a tin shredder. If it's £550 with a shoulder stock, again it's a lot of cash for a sub-6ft/lb 20M ratter.

It looks great and I'm sure it will be accurate and consistent etc. but what is the reason for it being if it's going to cost a wedge? Pistol HFT is hardly booming (existing?) and you'd have to get a single shot that for it.

Is it just a nice-to-have?

[clarky]

looking at it there might be a way to strip away the spacy styling of barrel casing and possibly machine the military style weaver rail to something with some semblance of traditional styling ......atleast for us stuffy 40s guys they didnt get on the sci fi/ military shooter train.
