Now, about this lovely HW75 I've bought... as with the the HW45, as i'm right handed, the RHS safety lever interferes with my trigger finger, and therefore my chi... is it alright to just take the screw out and remove the RHS lever? Is the trigger going to drop out or anything if I do??
If You do what Brian zins suggests about having most of the hand around the right hand side of the grip, this gives a bit more reach in the trigger finger so as to clear that safety catch. As i'm sure you know, no part of the trigger finger, from web to pad should touch that side of the gun, which can cause pressure or drag. We need to create a cavity, so you shouldn't be in contact with the safety. Don't quote me on this, but I think I've heard of people removing the safety catch on 45's, but haven't and don't need to myself. Dont know about your hand size regarding the 75, but with my fingers on the front strap theres a slight bulge just where the ring finger middle bone rests, which aids that hold you mentioned, loverly! One tip for lubing the 75's piston, is to inject two drops of Magic9 or pellgunoil with a syringe into the white felt washer seen through air inlet hole after every 250 pellets. I have separate pellet pouches containing 250 pellets for each gun, so I know to lube when pellets run out! Its a great piece of kit that HW75,so smooth, and the dry fire facility is very useful. DON'T SELL IT!!! ATB. Pete.
