Spring Bash 4th and 5th May 2024

That will definitely be a good comparison. Does your 45 have the two power settings? Half and full cock ? If you do have them it's worth finding which is your preference to use and set the zero for that one. The zero changes dramatically between power settings due to the difference in recoil I believe.

Full cock! Fnarr 🤣

There was a delivery while I slept, sadly not something to numb these barsteward gums and teeth but something for a bit of happiness, the Duck Ferris wheel.
Not built it yet but growing quite tempted, looks like it'll be as tall as Roe so not a tiny thing and the centre is really quite robust so a sprocket or pulley could be added without too much trouble.

Oooooh errrr missus

Ah well, may as well go "all in"!!!!!!!

Doesn't the 45 have a Beeman clone? I remember looking at one a while back as I loved the appearance but could not love the price tag.

That'll be the 40

[Segata]

Fair enough, I do get a bit muddled with the numbers but I'm slowly understanding them

[tinbum]

That'll be the 40

Or maybe the P1

Not so much a clone, but the same thing, I think. A bit like the US get the Beeman R1 and we get the HW80, the States get the P1 and we get the HW45.

The hw40 clone is the Beeman p17

A question for the pistoleros; what's the Gamo PR-45 the closest to in the Weihrauch pistol group?

I had one of them in the 90s. Plastic with steel side rails and single stroke operation. Very consistent (And I could actually shoot back then) Probably HW75.

I'd say hw40, with the the gamo compact being the HW75 competitor...

the pr45 however has a far inferior trigger, but the compact is good.
