    Dare say at the price, they have to be leaning towards being a "match pistol" and it'll be interesting to see how many sell ?
    Weihrauch don't discontinue a line quickly. Most of their current lines run for years so itll be interesting to see how long this one runs for !

    Just because it's expensive, doesn't make it a match pistol.
    I think we are seeing the old 'made for foreign market's trick here.. Just think, in the USA, this gun sitting at about 20fpe would be a devastating little package, breaking into the market currently owned by FX with their ranchero pistol and a couple others.. of course they roll it out here at sub 6 and with the hefty price tag, it leaves us wondering what the he'll it's for??? 😂

    Take your point on the Amarican Market and their stuff sells for just about half the price of the same stuff here.

    Why would Americans choose the HW44 over something like this?

    .22lr 10+1 capacity. S&W quality...need I go on?

    Oh and under $400!

    Because air pistols do not count as firearms in the USA and it's still not safe to shoot a .22LR pistol in your garden.

    I know, I know. But you know what I mean.
