Bob,
For me, the HW45 is incredibly hold sensitive.
Only the loosest & most gentle of grips brings repeatable grouping (for me).
I have built up the front strap with blutak to give a flat for fingers - essntially the pistol sits in/on the hand, but not gripped by it.
The innards of my HW45 are run totally dry - a mix of tungsten disulphide & graphite powders (75:25) provide the slip.
I have also fitted a full TinBum kit (guides both ends of the spring).
Found wisdom from the Interweb, suggests adding about 10 - 15 grams to the piston weight to make the pistol more efficient - I will be giving that a try.
Currently, the HW45 is making 4.6 ft.lb with RWS R10 Pistol (6.99 gr.).
By contrast, the Diana/Original Model 5s are a doddle to shoot well; and more importantly, for me, shoot much more accurately than the '45.
From rest, the Model 5s groups are approximately 1/3 of the size of the '45s, at both 6 yards & 10 meters.
Have fun & a good weekend
Best regards
Russ
