Hw 40 and Beeman p17

[Shed tuner]

now the weather's looking up, I'm going to try them side by side myself...

[oldskoolzzz]

I’m a big fan of both and I’ve lost count with how many HW40’s and the pukka P3’s plus the many clones I’ve had over the years.

Think I’ve tried just about every clone going namely the 2004e, many P17’s, Airforce and even other similar platform types like the Stoeger XP4 etc

I did once do a back to back test directly with the P17 and HW40 unfortunately all the pics I took are on an old pc that’s in the loft and from a hazy conclusion like others have suggested the HW40 just feels a tad more better built as clipper mentions the plastics seem cleaner along with better trigger components.

In all honesty though the price differences nowadays are quite an eye opener the P17 being circa £70 new and the HW40 circa £200

I personally would still probably buy a used HW40 circa £100 over a New P17 but at £70 new it’s pretty much a bargain IMHO
