If Carlsberg did air pistol reviews.....
Love it!
I bought, sold, then re-bought a HW45 airpistol and share your views completely.
I bought the first late last year then sold it not too long afterwards. I very quickly began to regret it.
So I bought another last week. What a superb thing it is. It shares the same inherent quality of certain camera bodies and lenses, or watches, or the deep satisfying thunk that the doors of some very expensive cars make. It just has that certain thing about it which conveys deep quality, and careful design. It's heavy, but not too heavy. It doesn't rattle. The fit and finish are excellent. It's very satisfying to shoot, and the whiff of burnt oil is pleasing to the senses.
Weihrauch know a lot about men. Sorry, boys..
I won't be selling this one.

Glad to hear it. I wonder how many of us are on our second HW45?
Well... I bought my .22 HW45 in August 2012. Realised I couldn't shoot it, so sold it to my son in September 2012 (all to do with my eyesight, and me being a bit short sighted. Couldn't see the bleeding target!). I was looking for a project gun a few weeks ago, but couldn't find anything suitable - so decided to try again with a HW45 so bought it back from my son. Yep, can't see a bloody thing! So fitted an AGS 2x20 scope, problem solved! HW45 is now a pleasure to shoot and I actually hit what I'm aiming at!

I have two, .177 and .22 - the old ones were better IMO but they are still in a class of their own when it comes to sporting springers.
Good deals with these members
I had a .177 HW45 for about 18 months but could never shoot it as consistently as I would like (the problem being me, not the pistol), so sold it on. But I do fancy getting a .22 - they seem that little bit smoother to shoot and that might just make the difference to me.

I've a black star in .177 and a silver star in .22 love them both but yes the .22 is smoother.
Ditto.
.22 full cock .177 half cock is how I use mine.
.177 bit more accurate but less wack.
If I fully cock the .177 big bang and less accuracy unless you sight it in for that power.
Dont really prefer one over the other tho.
Always fancied one, with all the accessorys. The shoulder stock and so on, I'll confess I am not a very good shot at all with a pistol.
I bought my first in 1988. Loved it. Stupidly let it go in about 1991 in a car deal.
Got my second one three years ago. Absolutely love it to bits.
This one's going nowhere!!

I have a Black Star in .22 and a Silver Star in .177 and I love them both!
Every time I think I can't shoot accurately with them I get the BSA 240 Magnum out for 5 minutes then shoot the 45's again and it seems a doddle
