I used to have an HW75 and it was a nice pistol, but very tiring to cock after a while.
The only problem I found, when it was new was that it made my hand a bit sore as the edges of the top rail are quite sharp when new. I did use a strip of the soft side of stick on Velcro where the web of the left hand presses down, but then removed the Velcro and used a nail file to flange (soften) off the edges a bit. This worked well and its more comfy now. I don't find it hard to close at all now. You just have to get used to the closing action. Im assuming its the closing of the barrel arm you're talking about, as the cocking takes place on opening the gun ready for loading and this is very easy to do. I have the HW75. Two Beeman P17s and the HW40 plus the Gamo AF10. Its become second nature to close all over time, and I don't even think about it now. ATB. Pete.
