    Its a fabulous pistol. Trigger is sublime. It puts a smile on my face everytime i shoot it. Shoot it at paper at 10 yds and forget the power. If you want power get the 45 but ive had both and the 75 in my opinion is streets ahead

    Ok, but the barrel height is too high (sits far too high in the hand), the trigger is 'slow' and I found the one I had to be unreliable. Got rid of it and bought a s/h FAS604 for less money. It's in a different league entirely (not powerful mind )

    It is fantastic. I have two 45's and a 75 and a 40. They are all fantastic pistols in their own right. Paper targets at 10 yards with the 75 and 40 are superb. Every shot is crisp and consistant with amazing accuracy. For plinking and blasting things to oblivion the 45's come into there own.

    hw 45 --75

    thanks for the help --I have both 45 and 75
    the 45 I cannot hit a barn door with it bounces all over the place tryed a few shots with the 75 and hit all I shot at TARGETS tin cans and paper as well as spinners I can live with the low power --might even be an advantage --there is a bell target club I wanted to go to but did not have a pistol suitable thanks for the help

    I dont think its intended to be a serious target pistol. For me its a great fun pistol and accepting that its very accurate.

    The trigger on the 75 that I had was superb. The grip is good (not match grade), but the need to cock the hammer was a bugbear compared to other SSPs.

    The 75 has a the benefit of a manual safety, unlike the 40 which has an auto (PITA) safety.

    The ambidextrous safety on the 75 can get in the way on the right hand side for a right handed person. The safety lever on the right side can easily be removed and replaced with a washer; this leaves the safety on the left side. Likewise, the safety on the left hand side can be removed for a left handed person.

    Try some RWS Hobby pellets Clive. They are a bit lighter and work a treat given the lower power of the 75.
