    The HW40 is a nice pistol for about £99.99 new, perhaps cheaper 2nd hand. I only tested the feel of one out in a shop before buying it's big brother the HW75, both are single stroke pneumatic - so very accurate!

    I never liked my first HW45. I found it jumpy and very difficult to group with.

    Then I lived abroad for several years, owned powder burning pistols and learnt how to shoot them.

    When I returned to the UK I bought another HW45. I love it and can group very well with it.

    It's all about mastering the technique.

    The fault was mine.

    Arthur - can you shoot the 45 well with one hand?
