In my youth this pistol would have been the ultimate tool, what is there not to like about a pistol that is 25 Joules or 18 ftl/ lbs that can be silenced with a moderator. It's price is two weeks wages for your average man in the street which is chicken feed, the problem is most folk have a wife, two kids a mortgage a car gas electric water and insurance bills to pay then there's the food. Them that can afford this pistol will buy it even though it's a tad ugly.
That was my point.
Cut down 110 so it can't be cheap.
But we* don't hunt with pistols so they're barking up the wrong tree in the UK.
With £620 to spend, you'd get a very competent vermin control combo - S410+scope for example. Delivering 11ft/lbs into 20mm circles all day long.
You wouldn't bother with a sub 6ft/lb pistol.
They've dropped a massive Teutonic bollock with the 44.
*decent, responsible shooters (humane, close range dispatchers of captive quarry excepted).
I agree with what has been said before somewhere on here; we in the UK are not the key target market for this pistol.
Rich.
WANTED: Next weeks winning lottery numbers :-)
Out of interest what is the HW75's MV?
They originally ran spec at 425 fps but then dropped to approx your figure presented here but now back up 400 fps plus again..
There is 2 theories for this being bandied about, one being they shifted the inlet hole very slightly....either to make cocking easy or other unidentified reason...such as excess oil in system but it does appear that the latest spec does seem to have slightly shifted inlet hole compared to mid term low power models...
I have one running 440 fps though by simply running a full lenghth barrel into the useless void.
Nobody ever bothered manufacturing a silencer for it rendering the void pointless.
HW should have realised running a barrel full lenght would benefit velocity...esp with it being over 30 mm long...used a standard piece of Crosman 1377 barrel for the mod....chucking the rest of the pain in the ass 1377 out with the tat.....bloody thing.

Down at the dealers on Saturday, there is some confusion if a silencer will be included by HW in the price, but the dealer I spoke to will be doing them for £575. however this may come down if HW do a discount for bulk.
Just had a chat with Pellpax re date & price:-
Now expected to be supplied to the UK September and price has not been decided.

Why be awkward, when with a little bit of effort you can be really impossible!
