    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

    Just seen the weight....at nearly 3lbs it's a bit of a lump.

    Hw44

    I like the look of this ! was just about to buy a HW 45 think I will hold fire !

    Can't believe there is no mention of it in any of the Airgun magazines .

    Be good if they did a non tactical version with a single shot adapter.

    I'll stick to my BSA Scorpion for manly thrills!

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

    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.

    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 .

    I think HW missed a trick - if it cocked with a top slide it would be much more attractive to the tactimasses, now if they had the balls to develop a lever release semi they may have a real winner.

    Prob appeal to the kids i suppose but doubt they will afford it.

    They'd most likely had already gone to print. Their thunder now stolen, no exciting cover page announcement.

    Just got a scope and mounts sorted out today for it Tone so it's first outing will be on Wednesday

    Yes the 110 will be coming with me to the bash and more than welcome to have a go

    Got a few club members that are also quite eager to have a go on Wednesday
